Mr. Hakujin Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Waitaminute, so in the Hakuverse He's Just Not That Into You > Wings of Desire GTFO! I can never trust anything you say ever again. edited to refine the quote Yeah, on the surface I can see how that might seem wrong, and Nick used a similar argument to berate me for my ratings of John Woo films. So if you're a surface kinda guy, then you're right. I got nothin' for ya. However, if you go beyond the clever quips, you'll see those films are two totally different genres and audiences go into both expecting very different things. Based on what I read from your and other reviews I went into Wings of Desire expecting a grand cinematic odyssey, an emotionally challenging examination of the human condition heretofore unparalleled by any other film. I didn't get that so much. He's Just Not That Into You I went in expecting to want to kill myself by the first 15 minutes. Instead a got a good rom-com that really hit the nail on the head for me in several aspects romantic relationships. Apples & oranges. In my book He's Just Not That Into You was B+ orange while Wings of Desire was a B apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I can't think of anything to say about the previous post that isn't seething with disappointment, and that's not fair at all. Where's that "I'm a douche" thread. I've got a big introspective self obsessed rant to post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the division of joy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 He's just not that into you is in a list of about 4-5 films that I've been made watch, and felt the need to bleach my eyes after watching. PS I Love You is another. Antichrist too. The fuck man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 i cant say for certain, but if we're listing some rom-coms you were forced to see, i dare you to beat Simply Irresistible. i was a better man before watching that...City of Angels, Serendipity, What Women Want, The Family Man...i watched a lot of these for her, but none nearly that awful. i dont even remember Untamed Heart, likely a coping mechanism.

the division of joy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I've generally* had the good sense with the opposite gender and rom coms to say "Fuck you, there's no amount of ass you can give me that'll get me to watch this" so I've not watched anything you've mentioned there apart from a few minutes of serendipity while bored in work one day. *not always..

Thelogan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 There was this classic moment at work a couple of years back, right when P.S. I Love You was about to come out. There was this couple and the woman said something like "Oh, lets get P.S. I Love You" and the guy just looked at her, deadly serious, and said "Bitch, I will punch you right in your fucking eye" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HypnotizinChikns Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Toy Story 3 as well, totally fun, and there were moments where i laughed out loud. Like all of the other Toy Story movies; fun for kids and kids at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I Love You is another. Antichrist too. The fuck man? after hearing so much about antichrist, i am kind of scared to watch it. no one has really said anything good about it. bleaching eyes does not sound like something i'd enjoy.

I find this offensive and am considering putting you on my ignore list along with R2S and D8. If you don't give a shit or this is what you are going for, by all means continue.
