Case in point, I raved about Drive to my male collegues, they saw it and they were like "neah, nothing special"- and it's weird, since both of them like to watch movies and usually have good taste! I took some of them to see Hunger Games, same reaction! I think I learned my lesson :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-8644462324964026602012-04-05T15:03:22.526+12:002012-04-05T15:03:22.526+12:00I thought it was awesome!

No one takes me seriously. EVER. Just because I don't think movies like Just Go with It or Zookeeper are the best movies ever made.<br /><br />Wait, Satantango is seven hours? I had it in my head that it was four hours...strange. I might give it a go if it ever comes back into print here. I know how you feel, though. That's why I don't recommend movies.Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-18579598821958757802012-04-05T14:55:21.573+12:002012-04-05T14:55:21.573+12:00Haha, my friends have the 'lol, nerd' reac...Haha, my friends have the 'lol, nerd' reaction when I say that I like Star Trek.

I could never work at a DVD store if I had to take that shit all the time.<br /><br />A movie I love but can't recommend to others? Well, there's Lars von Trier's THE IDIOTS, which I think is fantastic but others just find pointless and offensive. I also have stopped trying to recommend SATANTANGO because people are so ignorant; once they hear that it's seven hours they refuse to even give it the tiniest of chances. Another one is JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES, a rare French movie from 1975 about a housewife whose meticulous routine causes her to suffer a mental breakdown. The film is so incredibly subtle in the breakdown that most people don't even realize she's having a breakdown until the last 30 minutes, and the film is 200 minutes long. But it does deliver a hell of a punch in the final five minutes, though few people make it that far. I love all those movies and occasionally I do recommend them but often it's pointless because I rarely have people telling me they loved them, and the ones that do say that saw the film before me.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-66980642229942929792012-04-03T19:23:25.763+12:002012-04-03T19:23:25.763+12:00Well, I cannot recommended Star Trek films to anyo...Well, I cannot recommended Star Trek films to anyone, because most of my friends still have the 'lol, nerd' reaction :P Dot and the Kangaroo is probably another...The Tree of Life, uhhmmmm.....I also really quite enjoy, despite it's fault, the Australian film adaptation of Macbeth. No one else I know likes it, so I don't recommended. Plus, I know it has bad points, they just don't bother me :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.com
