No, not really. It's pretty much one way.
And I'd put a pack of Orca's over one shark.
But didn't we have a thread about that already?

..... If everyone had your taste in movies we would all be drooling mindless masses. People actually like to think when they go into a movie you know.
It is people like you that is the reason the American movie business is the way it is. People go see the next crap film to have their brain leak out their ears making companies a lot of money so they can continue to be nothing more than films for insulation on a comatose audience.
Your point?

He was on screen for 15 minutes dude. His performance was so chilling in just 15 minutes that he was remembered more than anybody else in the film. Do you know how to pay attention?

Entertainment should be good. Not garbage. I never bought into this poor reasoning. People that watch a film just to be entertained usually miss out big time. They fail to comprehend complex plots, the fail to follow stories anything more complex than mindless action and explosions, they definitely don't know what good acting is, and they can't see the underneath. I say this from experience because most of my family is the same way. And it is depressing.
Good taste is important in entertainment. Whether it is movies, books, games, or what ever. If you don't have it, then all you do is join the masses watching American Idol and other stupid reality t.v. shows or flock with the other sheep to go see Mummy 3.
And what do you mean "started out that way"? That isn't exactly true. Most of the best movies ever released came from the 30s and 40s.

You fail. You fail miserably. You fail because you don't have a clue what you are talking about. You need so much more than that to be a good actor. That is like saying anybody could have done what Heath Ledger did as The Joker in TDK or anybody could have been Hannible Lector as well as Anthony Hopkins. You seriously need to think more before you post.
It should be impossible to get any Academy Award for acting when you are on screen for less than a half hour maybe?

There has NOT been one scary film released in the 90s I am afraid. What? Sixth Sense? Please. Hostel? Saw? Don't make me laugh. Those films are nothing but mindless gore fests with no actual fright factor and is just a bunch of blood thrown on screen. The Ring is probably the scariest film released in the last 20 years.
Also, all those films you named are a lot scarier and have more soul than the ones I named.

Except action movies can actually be entertaining and good at the same time. The first Die Hard and Lethal Weapon films for example. Or the Indiana Jones Trilogy (yeah, I don't count the new one.) But films that don't TRY like The Mummy or Starship Troopers, or anything by Michael Bay are just there ripping off everything else to draw in audiences. And the audiences are sheep that don't seem to know any better that these movies are nothing but shams to scam them out of their money.

Are you serious? Did Titanic, Braveheart, Silence of the Lambs, Lord of the Rings, Shindler's List, Gladiator, Forrest Gump all drop from your mind? Hell, those are just the WINNERS and not the popular nominated films and those are just the ones from the 90s on. All of which were box offices and critical successes.
It may have been that way the last couple years, but that is because people have been flocking to films that definitley don't deserve an Academy Award. Unless you think a film like Spider-Man 3 or Transformers deserves a Best Picture nomination when they most certainly DON'T compared to No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood.
Sorry, most of Stephen King films miss the mark. Carrie and Pet Sematary are still his best books turned into movies. Hell, I am not even a fan of his books personally. Also, checking RT, you are definitley in the minority in that opinion.

Oh, and no. Blood and people getting cut up is not scary. It is just gross. I may not be a huge fan of Stephen King, but I DO like his essay book Danse Macbre. He points out the gross out factor is teh worst and lowest for of horror. Which I have to agree with.

To your nearest video store. Go get 2001 A Space Odyssey or Bladerunner or Bridge on the River Kwai or Ben Hur. Get some appreciation for some classics learn the difference between a good movie and a bad movie, then come back to me.

Re: Wizard magazine's top 100 greatest villains ever list.
I have to agree with AH here Orga. Most of those movies, aren't that scary. At all.
Back then, to the audiences of the day, sure they could have been. But now, the we are much more hardend (which isn't the word I want, but I can't think of the right one). It takes more to scare us then it did back in the day (I mean, the original black and white Universal Dracula movie? Scared people back in the day. Does jack squat now).

That is usually the case. But I would still say 'Alien' or 'The Exorsist' is scarier than the crap we get now. They don't even go for the scare factor any more.
I have to admit though, besides 'The Thing' (which no matter how many times I see it, still get scared out of my mind) it is hard for me to find many films that actually frighten me any more. Maybe horror is just a dead art now...

I just like GOOD action films with heart to them. As for Godzilla films, if you actually followed what I usually say, my favorites are usually the least action packed films. Which is why Gojira, Godzilla 1985, Mothra vs. Godzilla, and GMK are my favorites while I consider Space Godzilla, Megalon, GFW, and Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla are some of my least favorites and which I consider to be garbage for the most part.

Blade Runner- Seen it, had aweful pacing but was watchable otherwise

Boo. Bladerunner's pacing had no such problem.

River Kwai- Never heard of it

Boo. It is one of the best war films ever made.

Ben Hur- The length alone makes me question

Well... it IS really long... which does hurt it... but it is still fantastic in every way.

Exorsist, possibly. But Alien? Sorry, but I don't think that is scary at all any more.
The Thing, is pretty good.
It isn't that Horror is dead, its that we aren't scared.
Think about it. We have seen more actual "horror" than any group ever before us, thanks to the media and internet. If you pay attention to "local" news on TV, you can see upwards of 100 murders before you are a teenager. If you pay attention to naitonal news, we (our age) have seen the original Gulf War, all the bombings in the 90's, 9/11, and the subsequint action in Afgahnistan and Iraq.
I mean, seriously. If you (universal you) watched 9/11 when it happened, what on a screen, that we know is fake, could really scare us?
Numbed. Numbed is a much better word.
Then , the internet, where you can see pretty much anything. All the blood and guts you get in "scary" movies, excpet that they are real.
You can read about the exploits of the worlds worst. Murderers, rapists, cannibals, torture, anything. What possible fiction could we find that can be more horrifying than reality?

Actually, I still find the chest bursting scene to be creepy... and Ash... Ash was freaking insane... But yeah, other than that, I agree.

Go worship Star Trek someplace else. 
But yeah, the book is better, but the movie came first (well, at the same time.) And I still prefer the film over the book in this case. Which is a rarity in itself.

I'm pretty sure most of those films weren't made in the last 7 years, so they can count as old.

Pretty sure stuff like The Faculty, Screamers, Metamorphasis: Alien Factor, Garuda, Ice Crawlers, Eye of the Beast, Shapeshifter, Rock Monster, AI Assault, Supergator, AVP: Requiem, The Car, Ghosts of Mars, Night Breed, etc. all make better films then some people going to Jupiter, take pictures, and as they're coming back have to deactivate HAL 9000.

It is official. You are an idiot with the brain compacity of a ten year old. I am sorry, normally I don't say things like that, but it is warranted here. For one thing that is NOT what happens in 2001 at all. Second, that list... makes me want to puke.

Because I'm not the guy that just listen to critics without question and just accept something. Yes, the pacing was aweful, but it wasn't as bad as movies like Shark Swarm.

This just goes to show you have no capacity to think. If you watched the film, they didn't KNOW that there were giant walking mushrooms. And they DID try to escape.

How are they trashy? It's on a low budget, so what? And Sci Fi films do put effort into their films, otherwise they'd be delayed and never see the light of day.

AVP:R had a PredAlien that was RAPING AND IMPREGNATING PREGNANT WOMEN and then KILLING NEWBORN BABIES. The director of that film isn't just a bad director, he's a SICK, PERVERTED MONSTER.

Because you've gradually been showing less and less intelligence as this topic has gone on. Frankly, I don't want to carry it on either (and this is only my first post). You obviously have neither taste nor common sense and CANNOT be reasoned with. Good day, sir.

As much as I like AVP:R, yes Hunsock, that scene was unnecessary and disturbing. However, why bring down an entire film for that one scene?
