When the account was deleted I lost his exact PM'd comments the same way the posts went, but it was primarily that he felt he was spending too much time on here and he wasn't enjoying himself enough to justify it.

There were a few more details, but I don't really want to go into them. If he ever wantsd to discuss the with anyone then that's his call.

but anyway

No willpower then?

Hang on, we're supposed to enjoy posting on here?

Inglourious Basterds

Easily one of the best films I have ever seen. I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a film in the cinema more than this. Its is most certainly QT's best work since pulp fiction, and probably his best directed work he's ever done.

I Love You, Man - good

Stir of Echoes
Not bad, but just as I was getting into it, it was all over.

In the Loop - Top notch, "I have kid gloves, made out of actual kids!"

Knocked Up - good

Well this is exactly the same style as his other films, so if you don't like his other work I don't know how you'll feel about this one. But if you like espionage movies, especially for WW2, like Paul Verhoeven's Black book, then you should enjoy this.

I feel exactly the same as IOV and I loved Black Book, so thats good news bad news for me!

Gone Baby Gone

Couldn't finish it. Casey Affleck should NEVER be cast as a leading man ever again.

Why not just stop posting?

Confessions of a shopaholic - utter drivel, not my choice but even my girlfriend hated it.

I suggested that, but he wanted the account closed to avoid the temptation.

As far as any other reasons go, Terry, I'm not covering them as I don't have all the minutae and if he wants it discussed then JK will discuss it with the people he's still in touch with himself - not my place.

End of subject, back on topic. It's a good topic, a happy one, it doesn't dseserve to be ignored.

I'm looking forward to IG as well. Can't afford to see it yet, but has looked interestiong from the off and the reviews are nothing but excellent

Inglourious Basterds - not bad

Burn After Reading
Wasn't bad. I'd definitely suggest someone watch it if they asked for my opinion of the film.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - good

Inglorious Basterds

It's hard to compare it to Tarantino's other films. It was so different from them. It had more long, dialogue-filled scenes than in any other Tarantino film I can remember. Christoph Waltz will surely get an Oscar nomination for his portrayl as Hans Landa, and may even steal a win. And the opening and closing scenes will be what stands out for me from this film. Truly great filmmaking there.

True!

I actually read on Smith' twitter that someone has gone and got vanity license plates of BBKF (BooBoo Kitty Fuck)

The Spirit

"Please sir, when I grow up, I want to be Sin City!"

Just...no. Trailer looked good, but this was just bad. Not even Mega Shark's "so bad you can't take it seriously so you laugh" bad.

There Will Be Blood *
No, sorry, didn't work for me. One star for the way Day-Lewis slapped that preacher kid about.

Taken ***
Fun, revenge flick, with Liam Neeson being a total badass.

Oh my god. You've got to be joking me. Yes, Taken was great fun, but nothing more than that. There Will Be Blood is one of the best films to come out in the last 3 years, and I can guarantee that it will eventually become a classic. The cinematography is some of the best I've ever seen, the score is haunting and brilliant, and Day Lewis' performance is one of the best leading performances in cinema history. I can't understand how you gave it one star...I can't wrap my head around that.

The Brave One - Alright. Bit of a cop-out ending but I like Jodie Foster in pretty much everything.
Hellboy 2 - Not bad.
Blade Runner - Pretty good.
There Will Be Blood - I enjoyed it, thought Daniel Day Lewis was great. The plot goes to shit when it jumps forward later on though. Very unsatisfying ending.

High Plains Drifter

Pretty awesome.

Little Miss Sunshine *
Shittle Miss Sunshine. Unlikeable characters. Alan Arkin won an Oscar for this?

Candyman **
Crappyman. Nice ending though.

88 Minutes **
Why does Leelee Sobieski continue to act. Why do something you're frequently bad at?

In Bruges- I really enjoyed it, thought it was hilarious and kept me interested untill the end. There isnt many films do that

Its a great film, that does not get the attention it should.

Funny People

Really enjoyed the first two acts, but the last act sucked all the fun out of the movie for me. Still a really good movie, though I suspect some people won't like that it's closer to a drama than a comedy.

Hellboy - Great!

Clerks 2 -it was ok

Burn After Reading ***
Was okay. Not really that funny though - a few grins here and there. JK Simmons was great in this.

Session 9 **
Not really that scary, with the exception of one scene. More a mystery movie than a horror.
