I really hated the movie Vertigo. In my opinion it was full of Kitsch and the ending was the only good thing about it. If I think about 50's cinema the first films that come to my mind are Rashômon and Witness for the Prosecution, not Vertigo!

music by the Residents!

Also, Donnie Darko blows. As does Requiem for a Dream.

My unpopular opinion is this:

Cell phones are one of the worst things to happen to the world.





I agree, Batman was his best film. I haven't seen the other one you mentioned.

But I like Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Beatlejuice too! Those are great early burton films! For what they are.

I talk with my mom alot about this, since I had a hard time in school because of legit ADD. Not one of those (lets just say he has a.d.d. cuz he's hyper) type of things.

ANd I always felt that I didn't learn a damn thing in school, I dont remember anything, and all I feel they did is cram a bunch of shit into yr subconcious.

But anyways, yeah, she was saying how teachers used to actually teach you things and it was about meaningful shit and not just cram cram cram. And also if something really important was going on in the world they'd stop class and talk about it. Not like my experience at all. & she still remembers so many things from when she was young and all throughout schooling.


Education used to educate.

the score is also fantastic

Actually are you watch DBZ? cause they kind of remade it. It's called Dragon Ball Kai...it's pretty much the exact same shit jsut without the fillers

atsonicpark 06.28.2009 04:07 PM

I think Vertigo is really good. Not perfect though. My favorite Hitchcock movie is probably ROPE (I know everyone's going to disagree with that; I think it's just brilliant, conceptually and otherwise).

Also, Target kinda rules. They always have good shit. I hate wal-mart. I work there, and I hate it... I've always hated it. Pays well, good benefits, and is easy though.

The only good pizza place is Little Caesar's. (or Mancino's, but none of you know what that is)

atsonicpark 06.28.2009 04:08 PM

Dragonball Z.. I loved it as a kid, though I remember a good 50 episodes in a row where Goku was running on a highway...

when they announced a Dragonball movie "trilogy", I said (on here, I think), "What is the trilogy going to be? One whole movie of them powering up, one whole movie of a battle (about 45 minutes of which will be them screaming each other's names... "VEGETAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "gOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"), and one whole movie of the aftermath?"

fugazifan 06.28.2009 04:08 PM

rope is also amazing. and really underated.
i need to see it again. i havent seen it in like 4 years

EVOLghost 06.28.2009 04:08 PM

and by fillers I mean they don't scream inthe same position for 2+ episodes.

atsonicpark 06.28.2009 04:10 PM

haha.

TRUNKS, MOTHER FUCKER, TRUNKS!

Sonic Youth 37 06.28.2009 04:13 PM

Rope is my favorite Hitch by far and my number #2 is Marnie.

tw2113 06.28.2009 06:00 PM

Someone above mentioned something about the US being a place you can find almost any type of person. I agree and think that's an awesome thing. What twists peoples panties is the fact that their beliefs aren't nationwide and not everyone agrees with them. I think that's actually a good thing too. A nice balance of shit and also a good filter for finding people you'd get along with more.

i know mancino's! if that's the same one i'm thinking of. pretty good pizza.

Jeremy 06.29.2009 03:10 AM

A Clockwork Orange is the most overrated movie ever. I have yet to see what makes that movie the classic people make it out to be, other than it having scenes of extreme violence and graphic rape. Oh, and him throwing a penis statue of top of somebody.

That said, I'm also not too big on Pulp Fiction, but that movie is still way better than A Clockwork Orange.

i love mcdonalds. i have never tasted a better french fry in my life. and i have eaten a lot of fries in the last two decades.

demonrail666 06.29.2009 05:39 AM

Seriously, people need to get off McDonald's back. I had a quarter pounder with cheese the other day and it was perfect. Burger King have better actual burgers but they overload their Whoppers with mayonnaise and salad which ultimately gives them this strange heavy but floppy consistency. A Mac qp w/cheese has the perfect ratio of burger - cheese - pickle - sauce - bun.

It's like the Fender telecaster of chain burgers.

demonrail666 06.29.2009 05:53 AM

Wendy's were better but you don't get them here any more. Krystals we've never had. Burger King's 'King Fries' are so overrated it isn't even funny.

demonrail666 06.29.2009 06:06 AM

Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are amazing. I hummed the star spangled banner the first time I tried them.

Shifty Prophet 06.29.2009 07:16 AM

With the exception of a few restaurants, fast food isn't all that terrible. Matter of fact I get upset when people talk shit about how fast food is America's crutch etc....Yes it isn't the best thing for you, yes some maybe even most of the chains use ''less than perfect'' ingredients, but its ok when youre hungry and dont have a lot of time or money.

i think that's true for any country. So long as people don't rely on it as their basic diet it's fine. The problem is that, in England at least, you do increasingly see people, especially kids, who seem to eat nothing else.

atsonicpark 06.29.2009 07:58 AM

Though you can so easily kill, you yourself cannot be easily killed.

The same problem occurs here in the US. Thing is I was mainly aiming at adults who ''know better'' rather than kids. When I grew up my mother almost always cooked a meal for my family and she let me eat fast food, but, compared to a home-cooked meal I'd usually side with the latter.

I think most of the problem lies within the parents not taking sufficient time to bring their children up with proper options to eating. Its shouldn't be which fast food do you want it should be heres whats for dinner and be thankful you have something. (<--- Didn't this method work for hundreds of years?)

But, after all I have no kids and haven't been in that position as a parent or guardian,so, i suppose its easy for me to criticize.

Oh well, parents should be balanced and kids should burn some fucking calories instead of playing video games all the time.

The English know how to make a cooked breakfast better than anyone else on Earth.

wendy's has gone downhill in the past decade. they used to have THE best chicken nuggets, good fries, decent burgers... but not so much now.

Rob Instigator 06.29.2009 12:44 PM

agree on wendy's. since dave thomas kicked the bucket, the board of directors have done everything he woudl not do, go cheap on ingredients, and all that bullshit.

Satan 06.29.2009 01:28 PM

FUCK feminism



wendy's really has gone to shit by the way

davenotdead 06.29.2009 01:31 PM

i had wendy's last night at midnight

EVOLghost 06.29.2009 04:07 PM

Actually me too...fuckers didn't put cheese on my classic double...
