Seriously, that was my second Nolan movie and I had never seen a concept in a movie taken so literally and executed so perfectly.<br />Alright it's like 1230 over here and I just had a Godfather day so I'm going to bed but I'm really happy that I've met someone else who actually had the balls to do this.<br />All of my friends thought I was insane when I did it XDAndrew_Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165794902360747065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412112983823984878.post-23788887863482557362010-08-21T21:51:36.008-07:002010-08-21T21:51:36.008-07:00http://twitter.com/bradsand250

They are so... goddamn amazing.<br />Ikiru is my favorite, but Rashomon comes at a close second, after Rahomon is one that's not on the 250 but well worth checking out. It's called Throne of Blood... and it's his version of Macbeth... It pretty much defines what the word "epic" means.Andrew_Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165794902360747065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412112983823984878.post-81369130064274662282010-08-21T21:35:47.521-07:002010-08-21T21:35:47.521-07:00You don't follow me on Twitter apparently.

Have you seen any of them yet?<br />Kurisowa is probably my favorite director (yet none of his movies are in my top 3...)Andrew_Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165794902360747065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412112983823984878.post-23507605090172230702010-08-21T21:29:24.520-07:002010-08-21T21:29:24.520-07:00I'm a huge Inglourious Basterds fan but not a ...I'm a huge Inglourious Basterds fan but not a huge QT fan in general. I don't hate Pulp Fiction quite like you do, but I do think it's pretty wildly overrated. I basically never watch it by choice.Brad Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187660922956962905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412112983823984878.post-16201595267649219882010-08-21T21:26:50.942-07:002010-08-21T21:26:50.942-07:00I prefer On the Waterfront but Bridge to the River...I prefer On the Waterfront but Bridge to the River Kwai is a fantastic movie.<br />I think it's more of a deserving top spot than, say, Pulp Fiction or Seven Samurai.<br />I love Tarantino and ADORE Kurisowa but I don't find either of those films to be their absolute best (that belongs to Ikiru and the Kill Bills respectively)<br />Btw, I know I joined a little late but you haven't done Pulp Fiction yet and let me tell you. I hate that movie.<br />I've sat through it four times and I still don't understand why people think it's so good. I gave it a 6/10. I love the writing/ dialogue but it has NO STORY. When you connect all the disjointed pieces together it feels more like a "day in the life of" piece than a Tarantino epic.<br />Sorry for ranting about PF but I recently watched it a fourth time and I'm so sick of it.<br />Bridge is a great movie. I get goosebumps everytime I see that humongous train wreck at the end (btw there are no special effects, that train wreck/ explosion actually occurred on set... like they set it up and just filmed... craziness...)Andrew_Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165794902360747065noreply@blogger.com
