ydoaPs Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 use the search function and look for posts by Sayo about the matrix movies
Bettina Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 SciFi....Battlestar Galactica, and Stargate SG1 to name my top two favorites. Bettina
Hellbender Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 use the search function and look for posts by Sayo about the matrix movies Okay, here are some quotes I found that reflect my opinions quite well: Put it this way: if I'd started the thread, it would be called "your least hated and reviled Matrix instalment". As for philosophy and religion, yes - I agree they were "thrown in". With reckless abandon and a complete disregard for the individual or historical significances. How is "Matrix" art? Yes, I agree that there is philosophy in the Matrix. But two things:(1) While a lot of it is open to personal interpretation, eventually all philosophy has to hit common axioms that by definition cannot be arbitrarily discarded wherever convenient. (2) What gets on people's tits is that it's cut and pasted from other sources, and completely unoriginal, while lauded about as being fresh and ground-breaking (which it clearly is not).
-Demosthenes- Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 No one has said comedy yet? I like to laugh
5614 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 There's been comedy mentioned in post #8, #14 & #20.... so that's not quite technically correct!
AI_Interface Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 My favourite genre is sci-fi because you can have funny sci-fi, dramatic sci-fi, romantic (unfortunatly) sci-fi. Add that to space battles and some really intriguing premises (except in star trek and babylon 5) and you've got a well rounded genre.
The Thing Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 SciFi, Thriller and Action movies. Some of the best ones I've seen are Aliens, War of the Worlds (althought the ending was a bit to abrupt), and a lot of Arnold Schwazzeneger's old movies like True Lies. Oh yea, I seem to like Cillian Murphy's movies a lot, including Batman Begins, Red Eye and 28 days later.
SorceressPol Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I'm all over the board when it comes to movies. I love romance, sci-fi, horror, musicals, old disney, fantasy, action adventure, and anime.
tash =) Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Sci-Fi / Romantic Comedy, but NOT the two combined in one movie
T-Nemesis Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Psychological and Horror for me. If they are combined it's even better Like SAW, a horror film with some good twists and it plays with your mind.
Dudde Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I would come closest to SorceressPol in my tastes, except it's a little broader than that. I don't really like movies at all, when I watch it's either because a) it's a damned good movie (usually comedy, anime or really scary stuff, but scary) or b) I have good company, which is most of the time, although I'm getting to like more and more movies as time goes by
