...No, I'm not a hipster. That would put me into a subculture, and that's just too mainstream for me. ;p

Although one of my favorite places in the world is hipster central. Really, the whole neighborhood is. Ha.

lol yeah, next he will say that Raging Bull is crap and overrated as well.

I finally got around to seeing The Expendables and I really enjoy all the little insider jokes being tossed around. It was good for some mindless action fun.

Maybe crap was a bit harsh but I did not particularly enjoy it.

Perhaps there is some important aspect of "great" film that I'm under- or mis-appreciating because I did not like "Mulholland Drive" and that was also, apparently, amazing.

that's a bit more understandable. You could say that you didn't like/enjoy it but to chalk it up as crap is a bit much.

I agree with you on Mulholland Drive after it was finished and I was like? that's it? why? what's the point? another example of visual masturbation from a pretentious director.

Just saw ''The Social Network'' yesterday, I thought it was quite good. I didn't have much expectations but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I thought it came of as believable and touching. A great performance by Jesse Eisenberg (lead role).

I can understand how, when I initially phrased my opinion of the film, it sounded as though I was acting as some sort of great authority on film quality. But I think a lot of people fail to realize (stuntcough) that it IS simply my opinion, and I'm perfectly aware of the fact that I'm NOT a film connoisseur and that I don't watch a lot of film and that my opinions hold very little, if any, weight to anyone but myself.

I used to think Taxi Driver was a bit **** as well, very overrated until I got older (I watched it for the first time when I was about 13). I watched it recently and loved it, the way its filmed is so gorgeous.

Genius comedy starring Jim Carrey as a gay con-artist who falls in love with a prison inmate. A very funny and entertaining film.
