TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT
Pornography and casual sex.
Drugs.
The 1970's and why people wore the clothing they did.

is that a sense or humor or are they serious?
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

some of these are pretty off if you ask me.
I think they're pretty accurate if you ask me, and not nearly as bad as capalert's judgmental tone.  Magnolia is a "dirty" film, in that it does have a lot of profanity, violence, and objectionable material.  But, Pauline Kael has said that the best, most real films are like this.  They're R-rated, they're "dirty," they're true-to-life.

Yeah, I remember reading that a long time ago. But you have to remember that these are for concerned parents and that's it.

That is the most pointless and stupid website I have ever seen
"In Serbia a lot of people hate me because they want to westernise, not understanding that the western world is bipolar, with very good things and very bad things. Since they don't have experience of the west, they even believe that western shit is pie."

You could say all that stuff about the Bible.

Oh wait... I thought it was one of those Christian sites, but it's not.  Nevermind.  Carry on. :roll:

Why?  It's all true.  Screenit.com gives a matter-of-fact account of what's in a film.  It's not judgmental.

"MELORA WALTERS plays their daughter, a young woman who continuously snorts cocaine, sleeps with guys she just met, and uses strong profanity."
"JOHN C. REILLY plays a beat cop who hopes to romance Claudia."

This is why the site is bullshit. I have no problem with websites telling parents if a movie has bad languange, objectionable material, etc. But here, in the site's "Role Model" section, it has nothing but bad things to say for the characters. Sure, Claudia is a coke-addict who swears a lot and sleeps around, but Jim Kurring shouldnt just be 'the cop who tries to romance the coke-fried slut'. They should mention what a good person he is, that he's trying to help her, that he always tries to do the right thing, that he wants to do good in the world and not judge people. Jim Kurring is a role model of the best kind, but all this site is interested in is what hes doing wrong. "Nothings ever good enough for people like you"
are you gonna eat with us too?

rustinglass

ok, instead of bullshit, lets put hilarious.

no tense music? mild tense scenes?

This I find particularly funny Jump scenes: mild (probably meaning when she jumps on the crowd.)
oh and this:"those offended by the term, "G-damn," should note that one use of it occurs here."

Quite right.  They also don't say that she's a lost woman, abused by her father, with no light to follow...the more I think about it, this site makes me sick. :evil:
