scarletspeed7 02/26/18 3:01:12 PM #332:	Xeybozn posted... The "All Star" scene from Shrek Rating: 30/100 Did you know that one of the least-inspired ways to open a movie is to show a character's daily routine? It doesn't create a bond between character and viewer. Everyone wakes up in the morning. Everyone showers, eats, etc. It's padding. When I started working on my TV show that I've been writing, I intentionally considered putting a "Wake Up In the Morning" opening into the first episode just because it's so trite and terrible. Ultimately, I decided against it. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:896808559] in Name Somet...

If it makes you feel better I agree with you on that movie. It was "fine" but not anything I have any particular enthusiasm for. Solid 60/100 movie. In my case I attribute it to not having seen the movie when it was remotely current, as evidenced by having first seen it in 2007. How about uhhh Collateral (2004) --- No problem!

Of course I could rave about how the methodical pace of Hans Landa's character makes him a delightful villain, or why the variations on how to motion the number three make this film so great, but I want to focus on something no one ever mentions: the comedic timing of B.J. Novak. The one Basterd to survive, Novak's character has like two lines in the whole movie, and yet Tarantino went out and co-opted a great dry comedian to nail those lines. And the result is that the last scene is able to turn something gruesome into something hilarious. And so much of this movie plays up a strange perverse lightness in the face of truly dark and terrible scenes. It's a damn good movie. --- No problem!
