Nitro Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 An incredible movie. Words can't do it justice, so I won't bother trying. Go see this movie. Bring your mother, father, sisters, brothers, and pets, and go see it. I think everyone should have to watch this movie.
JR2000Z Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 Thats what you said when The Matix came out.
Nitro Posted February 16, 2002 Author Posted February 16, 2002 No it isn't.... Considering I never saw The Matrix in theaters. <small>Damn ass-badgers</small>

Nute Gunray Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 i like to say <i>moulin rouge</i> frankly, I'm getting tired of the WWII Movie thing now. it's all ONE MAN MUST BLAH BLAH BLAH. That's why I hated Enemy at the Gates, despite the fact that it was dueling snipers and could be little more than one man.
BasiliskJC Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 Well I want to go see Black Hawk Down. My friends say that it is a good movie. Did anyone else here see the true story of Black Hawk Down on the History channel?
Nute Gunray Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 um, I saw it on the <i>news</i> when it happened.
Nute Gunray Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 news>documentary I was 11 or 12 at the time and I was watching the news. Somehow that explains a lot.

Admiral Odin Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 Blackhawk Down is a very good movie worth watching.
Nitro Posted March 6, 2002 Author Posted March 6, 2002 So was i am sam. Saw it last night with the gf. I was half expecting a chick flick, but it wasn't... Made me cry, though... Not a lot of movies make me cry... Something has to hit me personally, like in The Perfect Storm at the end when it shows the wall with all the names... Anyone who's spent any length of time on the water in a 30 foot boat what it's like to get caught in a storm. Every sailor's got a gale story. Mine's from sailing from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland in a 33.5 foot sailboat. Got caught in a good old North Atlantic thunderhead gale with 60 knots of wind, gusts to 70-75, rain that soaks you to the bone, and 15-20 foot swells. Coast Guard came in and picked up mom and my sister, cause they were both blowin' chunks like the landlubbers they are and my sister was scared out of her mind, and mom wasn't gonna leave her... Of couse, dad and I were both tossing cookies too, but when you're beating upwind in 60 knots of wind and rain, all you gotta do it turn around and the wind carries it straight back... I don't think I ever actually saw any hit the water. But we rode it out, and hot damn did we ever have a hell of a good time doing it.
BasiliskJC Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 The biggest waves I've ever been on were in Hawaii (not that big) and it was on a 90ft yacht.
Nitro Posted March 9, 2002 Author Posted March 9, 2002 Well, what really mattered about my post was that i am sam was a really good movie. Take your girlfriend, but if you don't have one, then go alone... Reason: 1) Crying at a movie makes you look sweet and caring, so it'll impress your girlfriend, or if she's not there, any cute girls sitting near you, and you don't want a pack of guys around to scare 'em away. 2) You're gonna cry. Guarenteed. I cried, my girl cried, her friend cried, and her friend's boyfriend (an all-state linebacker... well, we call it "provincial all-star" in Canada) cried. Everyone walked out of that theater wiping their eyes. Do you want your dawgs to see you crying like a baby? 3) If you don't cry, you're a cold-hearted bastard, and you should burn in hell. And for the record, it's not a chick flick. That is all.
Nute Gunray Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 early, I encountered a friend of mine and her boyfriend who had just seen this "I am Sam" film. She was still crying and was telling one of my female friends about how sad it was or something and her boyfriend just rolled his eyes. Moulin Rouge was better.
BasiliskJC Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Mabey I should so see that movie. I haven't shed a tear in like over 10 years (not including the time I was hit in the balls playing soccer). And yes I do like touching movies.
Taarkin Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 The only move I have ever cried during was Terminator 2.
Commander 598 Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 The Perfect Storm war historically accurate(If you call 8 years ago history) but it was depressing. It left me wondering why they couldn't "stretch the truth" and say Based on a True Story instead of A true story.
edlib Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 I remember the day "The Perfect Storm" hit here. It wasn't forcast to be that bad, but it ended up doing more damage than the last couple of hurricanes that have hit this area combined.
JR2000Z Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 Originally posted by Commander 598 It left me wondering why they couldn't "stretch the truth" and say Based on a True Story instead of A true story. Why did you want it based on a true story instead of a true story?
Nute Gunray Posted March 11, 2002 Posted March 11, 2002 Because it wasn't a true story. The event took place, but the rest didn't transpire as the movie showed us. Even Tora! Tora! Tora! which is more like a reinactment about Pearl Harbor than a movie, is only "based on a true story."
