    Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

    (surprisingly happy with the voting results on this one)

    Unpopular opinion - I hated Braveheart. I throughly enjoyed it when one of my history profs shat all over it in a lecture, gleefully pointing out all the historical inaccuracies.

    Same as splitskin for me. I liked it when it was new. Then one day I realized I couldn't stand Mel Gibson, his posing and preening, and his WAY over the top need to drag dramatic scenes out with repetitive and unnecessary slow motion.
    I’m not full hate on Mel either. Brace heart and The Patriot (even moreso) just don’t hold up.
    Apocalypto is really good. Thought he was really good in Dragged Across Concrete, despite the movie needing some editing.
    I couldn't get through Dragged

    It looked like a wheelhouse movie too

    No blame from me. It, uh, really drags in places. The performances were the best part, Mel in particular. Check out Zahler’s first two movies if you haven’t already. Apparently he’s branded as a “conservative” filmmaker, which I don’t get at all, don’t see any agenda in his stuff. Bone Tomahawk, holy shit.

    Casino had a lot of historical accuracy disguised as fictional drama like all good mob movies

    Kids today may not realize that Vegas was a mob town as shown in the movie and the events made Vegas a corporate America town as the mob was moved out and prosecuted nationwide

    Allegedly

    Dude really did survive a car bomb too

    The only thing I don't like and really hate is Sharon Stone and how fucking stupid DeNiro was over her pussy

    Hits too close to home I guess. Men are idiots

    I don't know mi amigo. I'd do a lot of stupid shit for this pussy.


    My god yes.


    Not many hotter scenes that that tube top tennis workout/sweat/fight/makeout scene
