Why, what did I miss? Or does Lola simply inherit respect simply by not being mainstream? Should I have admonished myself for not liking it and found something good? Nah! It's pretentious crap that barely had enough good ideas to fill one 20 minutes segment, never mind three.
Have you even seen Sherlock Holmes? I wouldn't have thought it was your cup of tea from any angle, but there's incalculably more talent involved and I enjoyed it, even if the net result was a bit dumb. Key difference is, one film was trying to be clever and shot itself in the foot. And it wasn't Holmes.
Actually, yes, non-mainstream movies do get a little more respect from me by default. That's not to say they can't be crap, too. But at least you made me want to rewatch it. My L entry for the DCO marathon is still free.
Actually, no. But I have it on my wishlist and expect something entertaining on the level of the "Iron Man" movie. I even remember posting about it in the "Must-see Movies" thread after reading an early review.
...when followed by a four(*snicker*)-star review of "Sherlock Holmes".
Oh Jon...you called Magneto Morpheus..think it was in your 3rd paragraph.
Oops..I forgot to go back and double check.Nope...his name is Eric Lehnsherr.Though I'm thinking there is a comic book character called Morpheus...can't remember for sure though.
From memory, I think I was one of the only people who like X Men 1 better than X Men 2. However I haven't watched the second in a very long time, so my memory of it is very hazy.
Well, here is a list of Morpheus' appearances[[url].
Jon, I was under the impression the main reference of the number 2046 is the year; I thought the film took playce in that year or references at the least...? (2046 being the last year before Hong Kong finally looses it special status and gets 100% Chinese control.)
I'd have another look, Sophie. X-Men is great, but it has Toad in it and Storm delivers one of the worst lines of dialogue I have ever heard! As a whole, I do really like it and it's the film that started the recent surge in superhero flicks, but X-Men 2 is just magnificent.
