What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

Or they could just both be excellent on their own merits.

All I can say is that the last two months of that year were outstanding, film wise.

That and I miss the Magnolia. I miss the Angelika.

2007 was a fucking insane year.

[Captain Russ]

Looking at the wide releases, I'm inclined to agree. There were some really great movies out that year. Or at least to me anyway.

Walk Hard, Bourne Again, The Lookout, Grindhouse, Zodiac, Sunshine, Gone Baby Gone, Razorblade Bathhouse, No Country, Daniel Day Lewis vs. Smug Twat in a Bowling Pin Match, Norbit. It hardly seems like it was nearly five years ago.

I'm weird I guess. I know There Will Be Blood is a great movie, but it never grabbed me whatsoever. I like No Country For Old Men better, but then a gain, both movies, which I know are masterpieces, aren't synching in with my brain.

*BROFIST*

I feel the exact same way. I barely made it through "TWBB".

*CHESTBUMP*

Same here. I knew it was a great movie, and damn is Daniel Day-Lewis a great actor, and his performance there is awesome, but the pacing was killing me... Christ...

Maybe it was an off night for me, but I know myself well-enough to know it ain't gonna change. Some ofthose classic I just can't get into.

2007 was a fucking insane year.

I forget who said it over at DERP (may have even been you, Troy), but I remember someone there calling 2007 "a cinematic blow job" (in a good way - not that it blew, but that it was amazing), which I loved that term, and it was totally spot on.

Adored NCfOM right away. TWBB is a movie that I respected more than liked or enjoyed. I need to see it again under different circumstances, I think.

[Martin]

I rewatched No Country last year, and I liked it way more. Not so much for TWBB.

Avatar: Super Mega Extended Cut

Glorious. Yes, the plot is classic, but holy shit is that the standard Blu-Ray to compare all the others. I really don't get why they've cut Sully's opening sequence. It really grounds him way more as a character.

EDIT: YOU SPELLING RETARD

[BillyG]

Odd, almost everyone I know is very cool on No Country, especially compared to Blood. I personally adore both of them, but Blood, to me, is transcendent.

THIS. THIS SO MUCH.

I fucking love that cut.

[Matt]

Thirded. I said it when the BR came out...that opening sequence on Earth absolutely makes the film for me. Now we care.

[Mike]

THIS. THIS SO MUCH.

I fucking love that cut.

haha, I am such a non-movie geek, I didn't even know there was such a thing as an extended cut for this movie :O Will be getting this this weekend!

[Mike]

Also, Bourne Ultimatum? Not that hot. Was not crazy about how it ended, but I love that the same actress (who was the logistics co-ordinator for Treadstone in the first one) makes it all the way through the series.

Julia Stiles, would that you were near me looking all concerned n' shit...



They spend too little time in Ultimatum on how Bourne was created and far too much time on shoving CIA agents that apparently are Treadstone trained but are not actually part of Treadstone. It also got kind of laughable how often they used the "Hey you should get some sleep, YOU LOOK TIRED!"-Jason-Bourne-is-watching-you-OMG gag.

There was lots to like in the final film, but the second one felt like a better conclusion that the third one IMHO.

[Captain Russ]

Word.

Still had some great moments in it (that Tangier rooftop chase is amazing), but I agree, Blackbriar and Albert Finney OUT OF FUCKIN' NOWHERE was nowhere near as good as Chris Cooper flashbacks and the confessional with Neski's daughter.
