Re: The Matrix was the last great science-fiction film? What an idiot. Camilla Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 06:21:07 PM
I came across this article in the Guardian, and I thought others might want to read it. It is a semi-rant on Hollywood going safe by making any number of identical movies.


Ignoring wonderful and original science-fiction films like Moon and District 9 from just this year. Furthermore, I would argue that Wall-E is science-fiction too. This author makes me angry.

Top class mob film? Something like the wonderful The Departed from 2006?

Man, this critic is myopic.


I think he may have been exaggerating to make a point.

I am so sick of procedurals, medical dramas/comedies, and lawyer shows. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:46:29 AM 474 Views
Everything is derivative. Some just do it with more style. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:43:23 AM 467 Views

He is the worst kind of critic. The one who has a good point, but then The Shrike - 04/11/2009 06:24:56 PM 452 Views

On a related note, it feels like everyone has the dancing banana in their sig. *NM* rAndy aL - 05/11/2009 11:43:51 PM 258 Views
I apologize for exposing Wotmania to the dancing banana. And by apologize, I mean laugh loudly. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:40:08 AM 227 Views
