Jack Aubrey Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Is it wrong of me to be deliriously happy that The Expendables beat the dog snot out of Eat Pray love at the box office? I didn't sleep much last night so I'm a little punchy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it depends! Are you a fan of action-packed, blow-em-up movies, or do you just hate romantic comedies? Do you have something against Julia Roberts? Your psychoanalysis has begun....

It's not wrong at all. Just that pretentious title "Eat Pray Love" demands that you opt for a movie where shit gets blown up real good. And that goes for movies with titles like these, too: "The Secret Life Of Bees" "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" Blech.

Boots Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 No. I haven't seen either one. But if I had the choice, The Expendables would be the one. The mere sight of Julia Roberts sitting on a bench & eating yogurt or whatever is so pathetic and compeletely stupid. Like get a life and a job, loser (her character, that is).

Pause Rewind Replay Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 You'd have to pay me to see either of them. One is pretentious navel-gazing drivel, the other lowest-common-denominator idiocy interrupted by random explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it is, though, is a damn entertaining action movie with a good story, a tight plot, and some cool effects and awesome fight scenes. Maybe if you pulled that elitist stick out of your behind you'd realize that. In other words, if people are having a good time in what is obviously meant as a lighthearted thread, you do us no favors by showing up and pissing all over everything. Thanks and have a nice day.

One is pretentious navel-gazing drivel, the other lowest-common-denominator idiocy interrupted by random explosions. So what genre of movies do you like? IMO, there are good movies in every genre. I don't care for "chick flicks" at all but every once in a while I'll see one with my wife and like it. I thought that "Sleepless in Seattle" was pretty good. If it wasn't for her I would never see any of them. I think that some of the best movies now are animated and my kids are getting too old so I don't see them anymore. If you like action movies, the Expendables is very entertaining. I haven't seen that other movie about eating so I can't comment on it. I won't say that it's horrible because I can't but I will say that the preview makes me want to run and hide if my wife ever wanted to see it.

Sleepless in Seattle was good because, well, Tom Hanks was in it. Most of the time, Tom can make up for a multitude of other cinematic sins.
