Quote from: The Gold TrumpetThis has been talked about before, so much so I'm dissapointed MacGuffin didn't redirect this thread into oblivion.

You wanna know why?... It redirects back to the Gay/Donnie Darko thread, and someone already stirred that one up again.

what's even more amazing is how the fuck it came to be like #16 on imdb's top 250 list.

Its not like the IMDB list is the most accurate representation of film quality.

The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

Quote from: ebeaman69Unbreakable is boring

My favorite M. Knight movie....Usual Suspects was a good movie and not crap, but it wasn't great....also calling a movie boring sometimes confuses me.

I don't see why people are hating The Usual Suspects.  It is a well done Neo-Noir with great acting.  The first viewing is great b/c of the ending and repeat viewings are fun to watch to see the interaction and blurring of realism and surrealism.

I'm going to have to disagree with the Xixax norm and go with the real world norm on this one.  The Usual Suspects is a classic.

I've been bashing Memento for a long time, it definitely should be next up in life for the fire. Contrivance for the sake of contrivance needs to be riddled out of existence in belief that it is actually good. The shit needs to fall on these films.

A contrived film can still be a good film, if contrived well.

contrivance needs a purpose, not a decorator.
