What's the most contrarian movie-related opinion you have, /tv/?I think that the Star Wars prequels are better than the OT
I fucking hate American Beauty
>>64364870
Capeshit craze is the best thing that could've happened to the summer blockbusters.
>>64364944
This desu
Barry Lyndon is best Kubrick film
>>64364870
Those are not prequels, anon. A prequel would happen before episodes 1, 2, and 3.
>>64365067
Hi there, reddit!
>>64364870
I actually liked Battlefield Earth.
>>64365067
This isn't contrarian. Basically everyone in the patrician scene would agree with this statement.
I hold Stanley Kubrick and Michael Bay in the same creative and artistic category.
Hint: both are absolute hacks
Cuckoldry is a thinking man's fetish
Almost everything that I think is contrarian because I dismiss and challenge any accepted ideas of truth.
I think people that post this image in 3x3 threads have no one that loves them.
Tarkovsky's films are pleb tier masturbation
Sucker Punch is Snyders best work, and a slightly mis-executed near-masterpiece
>>64364870
>TFA was a solid 5/10
>I loved The Counselor
>Spring Breakers is a masterpiece
>To the Wonder didn't deserve it so bad
>Scrubs was shit
>It's Always Sunny has been shit since season 7
>Game of Thrones isn't that great
>Breaking Bad is not the greatest show of all time
etc etc. Am I wrong?
>>64364870
Uwe Boll is the greatest director who ever lived. He has provided more to film theory than every other director combined. Simply epic.
Almost Famous is a mediocre movie. It's like Crowe watched Boogie Nights and Dazed and Confused and thought he could make something just as good.
>>64364870
Jurassic Park is fuckin gay.
The Phantom Menace was the best of the Prequels
i really liked chappie
>>64365340
Forgot to say that Jurassic World is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
I don't hold contrarian opinions. Any opinion I hold that is contrary to popular opinion is genuine and not intentionally-polemic.
>>64365289
You're wrong because TFA is a 4/10 at best
>>64364870
Godzilla 1998 was better than Godzilla 2014
>>64365196
Bay is in no way, shape or form a hack. He's a competent director and is good at what he does.
>>64365067
Barry Lyndon sucks
hitler did nothing wrong
I actually like Man of Steel. It's not perfect but it's better than a lot of capeshit we get.
Personally I'd rather welcome some capeshit that actually tries to be morally ambiguous than the morally black and white, turn-your-brain-off shit.
>>64365358
I don't know if this is contrarian
It was the only prequel shot on film and Lucas hadn't fully lost it.
>>64365381
I alternate between 4 and 5. It was the most bland, uninspired offering I've ever seen. I was there at midnight and was solely disappointed. I can't even discuss it with mates because it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
PTA is boring as fuck, except for TWBB.
My favorite season of any TV show
>>64365289
Took me a LONG time to come around to The Counselor, but I'm so glad I did
>You are the world you have created, and if you cease to exist, this world that you have created will also cease to exist
Would have liked it more if it were someone beside Scott directing, though.
Die Hard 4 was pretty alright
>>64365396
Liking something is not an opinion.
>>64365196
What is your criteria for whether or not an artist is a hack? Fidelity to a single truth event?
If you took out Full Metal Jacket and some of his other early movies like Lolita he would be a very solid director with nothing but masterpieces like 2001, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, and his best, Eyes Wide Shut.
Forrest Gump is trash
>>64364870
Film is an inferior story telling medium and is only popular because of pretty pictures.
>>64365281
Have you never seen The Mirror? I can't believe someone can be this pleb.
>>64365454
Loved the Counselor and really loved s2 of TD.
>I don't know Counselor, I don't know
It's like a play. So underrated
this is a good thread
>>64365516
inferior to television, amirite?
>>64365490
YOU'RE TRASH
>>64365372
this is the most contrarian post in the entire thread
>>64364944
>>64365065
Confirmed for being too young to remember the 90's.
Evil Dead 2 is far outshined by The Evil Dead. TED is funnier, comfier, and is just all round a better film.
Ash is also more badass than he is in ED2.
>>64365478
>and his best, Eyes Wide Shut.
>>64365528
>Have you never seen the most narcissistic masturbatory film ever made and passed off as profound art?
I've seen all his flicks.
The Evil Dead is better than Evil Dead 2 (and AoD)
>>64364944
it's a fun movie but it's not an award worthy art film
Donnie Darko, Rocky, and Dr. Strangelove are the three most overrated movies of all time.
None of them are shit, but none are above a 6/10.
Prometheus was actually entertaining
Disney should have kept John Carter and make more of those instead of buying Star Wars.
>>64364870
I enjoy Highlander 2.
Saving Private Ryan simply insists upon itself
>>64365571
My nigger.
>>64365603
why?
no one would watch them anyway
He needs to make more movies
>>64365516
So what? Film is best when it's something like Tarkovsky and aims for visual poetry instead of linear narratives. But even from the point of view of the masses film was the go-to choice for experiencing story telling, at least until television.
Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best movie. Death Proof is a close second.
Bottle Rocket is Wes Anderson's best movie.
Any remake is better than the original.
>>64365622
what the hell does that even mean
>>64365590
Rocky gets a pretty big pass for nailing that down on such an obviously small budget. It's pretty great for what it is.
>>64365700
He should play Jesus in a remake of Passion of the Christ looking like he did in Con-Air.
>>64365361
Me too. I think Sweety Man deserves an Oscar for it.
>>64365727
>Any remake is better than the original.
What
I still think a high framerate is good for movies
>>64365727
but Jackie Brown really is the best tarantino film.
LOST is the greatest television show of all time
Marvel ruined capeshit and DC can't get it back because they ruined it so bad.
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are awful.
I unironically enjoy Michael Bay films and saw every transformers in theatres multiple times. That said Bad Boys 2 is his best movie.
All of Tarantino's movies are boring garbage except Kill Bill Vol 1
>>64365775
Me too. The backlash is so obviously "I'M NOT USED TO THIS STOP" and it's pathetic.
>>64365784
>DC can't get it back
DC can't get it back because they are bogged down with trying to be real.
I enjoyed the movie Doom.
>>64365571
Evil Dead 2 is actually shit compared to the first, though. Preferring the remake/sequel to the first is like saying Return of the Living Dead 2 is better than the first.
>>64365580
This isn't contrarian you stupid retard this is fact
>>64365848
It's pretty funny.
Why don't you idiots understand that contrarian means having the opposite opinion just for the sake of it and not just having an unpopular opinion?
>>64365727
Jackie Brown is absolutely his best film. He peaked after JB though. Hasn't made anything good since.
Daniel Craig is worst Bond
>>64365879
Because fuck you.
>>64365700
>Cameron_poe.jpg
Literally fuck off
>>64365803
b-but that is his worst movie
>>64365839
Nah fuck that, i don't want to see stupid wink wink nudge nudge shit in my dudes in capes beating each other up movies. Shit is serious fucking business.
>>64365573
Duh
>>64365575
Can you stop memeing for one second? Ok, so you disagree with autobiographical film, and dislike free-flowing narrative, wow. In any case, it was well received when it came out so apparently people did not think it was so masturbatory, but intimate.
The best Batman movie is the one from 1966
>>64365784
Bad Boys 2 is his best film though, and I enjoyed the first and third Transformers;
>>64365973
It's also the best cape movie in general, I might add.
Godard's best works are in his late career.
>>64365922
>Shit is serious fucking business.
>Serious as removing fantasy elements because muh imagination is too brittle
>serious as guys wearing pajamas punching each other is serious
reservoir dogs and pulp fiction are shit films
anything made by the cohen brothers is either overrated or plain dumb
>>64365958
>In any case, it was well received when it came out
Only by the Soviets who liked how he stroked their warm memories of being displaced from their homes and being forced to live in the rural countryside during the war. For the rest of the discerning non-Soviet audience, it was self-congratulatory wank.
If you use the word "contrarian," you're literally an idiot. It's an invented concept by fools with reddit sensibilities who are too fragile to deal with criticism of mediocre media that has widespread appeal.
It's a troubling manifestation of millennials' mental weakness. The only people who would entertain any "argument" involving the concept of being "contrarian" are too lazy and stupid to confront criticism substantively.
If it bothers you that much that people criticize mediocre mass-marketed work designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, like Star Wars, Breaking Bad, pop music, etc., you should find a safe bubble and stay there. Or kill yourself.
>>64366026
Yes goddamnit what is so hard to comprehend about that I don't want stupid fucking one-liners and bullshit. Just the inner psychology of a dude in pajamas beating up other dudes in pajamas.
>>64366058
Orson Welles used it all the time. Described himself as one.
If a movie doesn't get shown at all major theatres then it is shit and not worth watching
>>64366013
now, THAT's contrarian
he basically went loco in the mid eighties (Adieu au Language being an exception)
>>64366058
>>64366110
BTFO
>inb4 Welles was a hack
>>64365289
>TFA was a solid 5/10
Yeah, ok.
>Spring Breakers is a masterpiece
No, it is not.
>to the wonder didn't deserve it so bad.
Agreed.
>Scrubs was shit
It was bad over all, but it had it's moments. The episodes with JUST is GOAT
>it's always sunny has been shit since season 7
That's simply not true, it's still amazing.
>Game of thrones isn't that great
S1-3 was, s4 was ok and s5 was atrocious
>Breaking Bad is not the gratest show of all time.
True, bot those who say it's shit is absolutely insane, it's 8/10
My contrarian opinion: The Godfather is not by any means the greatest movie of all time, it's good but nothing special. Also, you people like Malick way to much.
Revenge of the Sith is a great movie
I absolutely hated Tree of Life. I don't mean didn't enjoy, I mean physically angry that this film was so pretentiously dogshit. Worst Oscar showcase I ever went to just because of that film.
>>64364870
matrix is shit and i hated the fucking early 00s with all the fucking greasy hair, stupid glasses and stupid fucking boots, they basically created fedoracore alongisde fincher. Fuck Wachowski's they are fucking hacks and they keep getting exposed as the hacks they are.
>>64366154
Hail Mary and Histoire(s) du Cinema are masterpieces.
Howard the Duck: eh, it's ok.
>>64366131
holy fucking shit anon
The last great year for American film across the board was 1999
>>64366360
No way 2007 bro
>>64366110
I think he was being meta. That was his contrarian opinion.
![MV5BMjA0MjIyOTI3MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODM5NTY5MQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/6lBOkY7.jpg "MV5BMjA0MjIyOTI3MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODM5NTY5MQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_[1].jpg")
Pic related is pure garbage. A literal example of pretentiousness.
>>64364870
STAR WARS IS SHIT
IT SHOULD BE BANNED ALREADY
REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>64366110
Being contrarian means taking the opposite side for the purpose of discussion. And opinion can't be "contrarian" u dummy.
>>64366519
That's playing devil's advocate. Being contrarian is just liking things because people don't like it. Or hating things because people do. AKA classic /tv/
Badlands is pretty shit
>>64365081
lol wut
>>64366474
Hello, Reddit!
the coen brothers are overrated
>>64366519
If there are people who would defend the notion that you know what you are talking about then they are certainly being contrarian.
I look forward to Marvel's capeshit more than most films, because I know that they will at worst be average, which is not something I can say for trash like the Revenant, American Hustle, etc
>>64364870
I think that almost all movies are shit, especially "artsy" ones
>>64365289
>Scrubs was shit
besides the last season and some of 8 it is one of the best network comedies since the turn of the century
>It's Always Sunny has been shit since season 7
most recent season may have been the best of the series top to bottom
besides that u are spot on tho 8.5/10 would fuck
ebert was an anti-art garbage man who just about never had anything interesting to add to the conversation. imdb drones will bring up his handful of dvd commentaries which he stumbles through with some basic filmmaking info and trivia pilfered from the first biography he found on amazon, things anybody with an interest in cinema for a year or two could chime in with, and ebert plied his shitty trade for like 50 years. disgraceful.
>>64366389
07 is a good year, I'll give you that. But no year since has topped Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Election, American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, Toy Story 2, The Matrix, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, Office Space, South Park: BL&U, Lock/Stock, Ghost World, The Straight Story, The Blair Witch Project, The Green Mile, Any Given Sunday, Bringing Out The Dead etc. I don't even like all of those movies but that's like a once in a generation year.
>>64366722
kill yourself
>>64366756
Well, what movies do you think aren't shit?
Fight club is tryhard edgy teenage garbage and so was the book. Its depth was surface level at best and was just an excuse for Tim Burton to show through Fincher what a true cuck he is with then wife.
Marvel/Disney movies are more creative than most others
>>64366912
Ghost World is actually from 2001 m8
>>64366912
>lock/stock
>american
>>64364870
Dragonball: Evolution is objectively better than the anime series.
>>64366912
You are probably right. But how is that contrarian? I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find people who disagree with you but look where we are.
>>64364870
TFA is worse than the prequels purely due to the fact that there was no new world-building.
I just love world-building senpai.
All TV series are fucking awful grade B movies with plots that extend too long for $$$$.
>>64364944
same
>>64366974
Shit meant Ghost Dog. I was just typing off a list.
The Last Stand was the best X-Men film
Any Top 10 film list with a Kubrick film besides Barry Lyndon is a joke
>>64366940
I like Wall-E for example
Martin Scorsese has no good movies.
Entourage season two is the pinnacle of television
>>64365461
I agree, Long and Willis had a good rapport, and Olyphant was a good untraditional villain. I like that it wasn't some conflict McClaine got swepped up in, rather a national conflict everyone got involved in. The action was a bit much, but destroying the helicopter with the police cruiser was fun nonetheless.
Whiplash was not as good as everyone told me it was.
>>64367023
It's probably not. It just feels like that was the last year of movies before everything from Hollywood was like a franchise or a video game or mostly expressly for teenage boys. Just feels like the business changed more after the turn of the century.
>>64367042
If the world-building made the slightest bit of sense I wouldn't mind a two hour long movie wasting a few minutes of screen time for it.
>THIS HERE IS A PLANET OF BUG ALIENS WHO BUILD DEATH STARS.
>>64366989
Couldn't care less about either of those for sure. Just saying that's a big year.
>>64365848
I thought everyone who isn't a "gamer" did? It's a pretty funny, dumb popcorn flick.
>>64366058
If I criticize Malick movies by saying they're vague artsy bullshit, will you call me reddit? You've already used that word once, so I'm sure you're not above using it once again. You try to sound smart and put yourself above everyone else by saying that their criticism is a product of "millenial stupidity", yet you use these sort of meaningless buzzwords yourself so you can elevate yourself above them. You're an idiot, and you should kill yourself.
>>64367151
Not even Taxi Driver?
>>64365361
If you were really contrarian you'd prefer Elysium
>>64367820
Yes, you would be reddit if you said something like that. You're not actually developing an argument against Malick's films, you're sidestepping them. It's your dream to be able to discuss and criticize Malick without ever having to actually talk about any of his films or even prove that you watched and paid attention to them.
I think The Martian was fucking boring and ran for twice the length it needed to.
It's a well made movie but I couldn't wait for it to be over, plus the Reddit "le science" lines were draining my soul.
>>64365775
This. I'm a 60fps video game fag and anything that's sub 60 just looks bad to me, even film and television.
Once you go 60 you never go back.
Howl's Moving Castle is Miyazaki's worst film and it's so mediocre.
Spirited Away gets way too much love and people overrate it to hell.
Princess Mononoke is the best Studio Ghibli film.
The Matrix is mediocre as fuck and all its pseudo intellectual themes were pretty much all stolen from anime.
>>64370196
>were pretty much all stolen from anime
which means it was stolen from American movies.
>>64365727
You lost me with the word "any"
Blanket statements like that are the kinda thing you can only stick to if you choose to believe them on principle.
Cinema should have stopped with La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière à Lyon, everything past it has been absolute trash.
>>64365589
Along with the fact there were just a lot of movies that were better than it in 1999, feels like the Oscar choice people only settled on really.
>>64365361
I did as well, reminded me a lot of Short Circuit in a good way, used to watch that movie all the time when I was younger.
I fucking hate Brendan Fraser and anything he's associated with.
The Dream Child is the best of the NoES series
