Jaws (1975)
JAWS is better than YOU!
Anyone complaining about a mechanical shark is an idiot and represents everything wrong with the present movie going public who need everything to seem realistic...THE SHARK WAS REAL! It was something that actors could interact with, do you think all this new CGI crap doesn't look like a cartoon? I don't care how realistic the new KING KONG looks he isn't a real thing!
And you know, you are supposed to take a leap of faith with movies and bring you own mind into it, not have the movie do everything for you and further more THE SHARK IS SCARY and it STILL WORKS because the first hour and a half allows your mind to build it up into the most frightening thing you can imagine to the point where it isn't just a shark anymore and when you finally see the thing you fear it IS freaky...it is less a shark than it is a monster and fear incarnate...Frankenstein doesn't really look like a corpse but it works...so does Jaws and the reason it works is because the actors believe in it and make it real! Quint! Come on, the Indianapolis speech?!!!, brilliant!!! The movie is epic, a trilogy in one film, THE ATTACKS,THE 4th of July and THE HUNT! AAAAH, how can I live in a world of such mind numbing stupidity where people dismiss JAWS because they are lazy and cynical film viewers! You can't have an opinion on Jaws, you either love it or you are WRONG...sorry, THE END!
Last Days (2005)
useless
This is a useless film disguised as art. This isn't art, just because it is boring doesn't mean it is brave. I don't care if it didn't follow Hollywood conventions, either did Eraserhead or Begotten, the only difference being that those films actually have a purpose and a right to exist for they are stimulating to the eye and the mind. Nothing is said in Last Days,nothing is done, it is useless. Let us say you put Last Days in a vault and this said vault re-emerges some billion years later when the memory of Kurt Cobain is long gone, do you think any form of intelligent life is going to give a damn about a movie featuring some bumbling waste named Blake? (the answer is no, just in case you thought I left that question open for you own interpretation)
