TF2 Revenge of the Fallen(thread): Bay doing coke off dead h

[Iaculus]

No, honestly I haven't seen the originals. I want to see Foreign Affairs really bad since quite a few people say it's better than The Departed. These are definitely more talked-about and more high profile movies. The very least I can say about them is that they're examples of just really terrific and awesome movies that just happen to be remakes.

Though some of the Departed's additions were fun (Jack Nicholson and the Dropkick Murphys, f'rinstance), I slightly preferred Infernal Affairs. It's a tighter, tidier film, and I liked the fact that [spoiler:2i45xeyv]the Triad mole in the police force lives.[/spoiler:2i45xeyv]

Infernal Affairs.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck I knew Foreign Affairs didn't sound right.

 

[Denbrought]

I love Infernal Affairs, one of my favourite police movies.

 

[Iaculus]

One other selling point of the Departed is that the fact it's in English makes it slightly easier to follow some of the plot components (and it tends to give them a bit more explanation anyway). Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad film - it's just that its parent is better.

My friends had nothing better to do, so i finally saw Trans2... and man, why didn't you guys tell me it was so intentionally retarded (sorry, i couldn't live in a world where that wasn't intentional) that it became a somewhat funny parody of itself... i still feel a bit guilty for supporting this kinda of thing being very successful, but i no longer think it's that much of a waste of movie film.

Also, i see the robot battles being confusing wasn't the cam... good to know.

I refuse to believe this movie was smart enough to parody anything.

It was not a parody of anything.

 

[Frank]

It was too fucking lazy to be a parody of anything.

 

[filmfanatic]

Yeah, I'm going to have to side with Shannow, Charlie and Frankie on this one. Really frickin' goofy? It certainly was. Intentional self-parody? It most certainly was not.

I've been falling into the trap of suspecting that EVERYTHING is intentional self-parody a lot recently. Assuming that "that guy is either a dumbass or a complete genius" or whatever.

It is rarely true.

It parodied itself... and not all parody has to be smart... this was like so pathetic that it becomes funny... as i don't know of any word for that parody will do...

I mean really, if this wasn't intentional then the guys who came up with it would be too stupid to remember to breath...

Tomorrow is the day. Everyone has piqued my morbid curiosity about this movie. I'm sure I'll find that I've seen worse. Maybe I'll have a glass of wine before...

You may want to make that a scotch. Just fair warning.

it is not a parody of itself. and you just agreed with basically everything we have said about the movie so far

Scotch makes me cough.

One glass of wine and I'm pretty drunk. Yeah. Sad.

Buuuut as one who can't find the energy to get outraged at dumb movies being made for money, I'm going to try and have fun and take it with a grain of salt. I'm more concerned about the fellow's brother wanting to talk about it afterwards. It's not that he's dumb. He isn't... just kind of dull at times..

I get the feeling I know what you mean. I have a friend who doesn't quite "get" things quite like the rest of us sometimes.

 

[Cajungal]

He thinks things are interesting when they're not. I know what's a matter of opinion, but damnit, sometimes something is just not interesting!

 

[@Li3n]

What, you missed that the first time around?!


Anyway, it's a comedy... i think we can all agree there...

 

[Krisken]

Does he start off with "Oh, you're going to love this", then go into a very long, meandering story that loses focus at least 3 times and fails to deliver in the end? The bad story teller, I know this specimen well.

If you enjoy big robots killing the fuck out of each other, watch this movie.

 

[Troll]

If you enjoy big robots killing the fuck out of each other, watch this movie.

... and yet too much of the film's action scenes are devoted to the US military killing the fuck out of robots. That kinda defeats the purpose of the source material, IMO.

 

[Le Quack]

US military kills one robot.

 

[ElJuski]

But they try to kill the fuck out of all of them, which really defeats the purpose of robot on robot action to begin with. Not to mention there's hardly any robot on robot action. Not to mention any of the robot on robot action is a jangled mess where you can't tell whose doing what to whom with what.
