Quote HistoryThis meme sums up the whole movie. It also sums up all of Cages acting career. It is his pivotal? Oscar earning moment. |

Have you watched a movie recently? I watch them every day. I teach film. Serious question. What's the best movie you've seen, which was produced in the past 2-yrs? I'd like to watch one. That is why I tend to watch movies made before I was born. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How does one "teach" film? You watch movies with kids and pretend to be Siskel and Ebert?  Lol. You teach techniques and analyze how they are used to create meaning (like a literature class). Then, you teach how the techniques are executed. Finally, the students go make movies. People actually learn things in class. It's amazing that teaching and learning can still happen in this day and age!

That’s likely the issue. Let me guess you would consider something like the bicycle thief to be a master piece? I'm not one of THOSE guys. Lol. I like classic films but I'm open to watching anything. GISS had everything going for it: brilliant cast, appealing premise, badass cars, and even technical know-how. The writing and execution fell short. It was all hat and no cattle. I guess I'm saying that it is like Con Air, Snake Eyes, and other cheesy mid-late 90s films. Honestly GISS sort of marked the end of those types of films being produced. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Chip Foose made that car legendary. It was already legendary. Much as I like Foose, and love that movie, he did to that car what Biff Tannen did to Lorraine in Back to the Future 2. Never got the love for that that car. The front end treatment and molded in rocker panel exhaust are totally out of place and look like hammered shit on that car.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It never ceases to amaze me how many people claim that was a good movie. The plot was garbage and the acting wasn’t much better. Not every movie is a masterpiece of theater, plot progression and acting. Some are just big derpy cartoons. This is one of those films and (IMO) a pretty damn good one at that. Can't believe it is 21 years old, one of the first movies my wife and I saw when we first started dating. For some reason she has always said I remind her of Cage. I don't see it but she does. And she really likes him so, umm, ok. |

I avoided watching when it came out because I somehow knew the writing would be terrible, the characters would be doodoo, the dialogue would be crap, the acting would be trash, and the entire plot would be garbage.
I wasn’t wrong.
