Been meaning to ask you this for a while: District 9 is higher in your chart and I believe you insulted Avatar so why is Avatar your icon?
johnmason on 11/12/2010 Reply · Like · (0 likes)
Ha! Fair question! I joined Flickchart well before Avatar came out, and I was quite excited for it. I've never seen fit to change the icon, as I quite like it, so it remains. Also, I've never intended to "insult" Avatar, as I do like the movie. I hope to get the "Ultimate Edition" DVD for Christmas... (But yes, District 9 is better!)

Hey man. I think you're understanding of movies is fantastic. Do you have interest in it as a business?

Sorry, I obviously don't check my account page as often as I should! As a business in what way...?

I think you have a very strong top ten, great taste, i like all of them. Memento was spoiled for me, so my first viewing didn't have as much impact as it should have. People on the internet and friends just love to jump to the spoilers.

Hey there, thanks for the friend add. Watch Let the Right One In!! =)

I just factored that from your favourite films that one would be your fave from your top 100 unseen list. ;) Take care bud.

Awesome charts. Since we have a pretty similar taste i will pay attention to some unwatched masterpieces that you rated high and i didn't watched.

Just out of curiosity, I counted how many movies we both share in our top 100: 34, with 4 in our top 20. I think we have similar taste in movies, overall.

Oh, definitely. Except for your love for Tarantino, you're practically a Mini-Me. :D

Ah, yes, I know. Actually, I kind of miss the eye already. But, I figured it was time to try something new. This actually matches my username: This is Sean Connery as John Mason in The Rock.

Your comment on the match-up between Gladiator vs 300 made me laugh :)

I've enjoyed reading your comments on the Aliens franchise. It's nice to hear from someone else who watched the fantastic documentary on the Alien3 DVD!

Thank you! Yes, I remember I lost interest a bit when it got to the Alien Resurrection doc, but the first three held my interest just as much or more than the movies themselves. That set's got the best extra features I've seen outside of Lord of the Rings.

It's great to see someone with TDK, BttF, and Aliens in the same top 10 list. I always enjoy reading your comments and it brought me relief to see that I wasn't the only one that thought that There Will Be Blood was too long a movie. It seems like we have some similar tastes as well. That's always a good sign.

Thanks for the compliments. Not sure I can go with you on choosing The Avengers over TDK, though! ;)

WOW! Someone else with Apollo 13 at No. 1. Not to mention very similar top 20s. Awesome, love the comments by the way. :)
Apollo 13 is awesome. One of my favorite theater memories.

Sorry, 10th, but still in the top 10 :)

Can I recommend "The Right Stuff" by Philip Kaufmann (1983). It's very similar to Apollo 13, based on the book by Tom Wolfe, but focuses on the broad history of the rise of NASA and the early exploration of space whilst also looking into the aviation achievements which made it possible. If you love Apollo 13, you'll love this one. My number 2, in fact it's a very close run thing between them.

I appreciate the recommendation. The Right Stuff is SOMEWHERE on my "Gee, I'd really like to watch that sometime" list...

I have no idea. I had to go in and unfriend like half of them because they apparently have hidden themselves under a rock for the last year.

I too reckon Heat is one of the forgotten gems of its time. Easily one of the most underrated films ever. Everything about it is so epic.

Your number 1 is my number 2. Fellowship is a perfect film from top to bottom in my eyes.

Just wondering what you thought of The Next Three Days? I was pleasantly surprised myself.

How do you decide what movies to watch? or are you like me and are up to watching almost anything? lol

Hah! It seems like we are the only two people on this site who really, REALLY enjoy Tomorrow Never Dies. I'm curious though; why do you like it so much?
MysticSpoon on Feb 21 Reply · Like · (0 likes)
You still have to see Diamonds are Forever? So you saved the worst for last? ;) In all seriousness though, that one was really bad. It's incredibly campy and silly. It feels more like an unfunny, poorly acted parody than a true James Bond movie. Who knows, maybe you'll (really) like it, but be warned :P . Teri Hatcher is actually the biggest problem I have with Tomorrow Never Dies. She's pretty annoying and pointless. But luckily she doesn't get a lot of screentime and I do like the concept a lot. What happened to all those Bondgirls? What happened to Honey Rider, Pussy Galore, Solitaire, etc. ? Having a Bondgirl (albeit one we haven't seen before) "return" to Bond is pretty interesting. Just like a Bondgirl who can kick some ass like Michelle Yeoh's character. And I agree with you on the villain; Jonathan Pryce was so hammy, I loved every second of it. "There's no news...like BAD news". Add an exciting car chase, a fun henchman, great action and an interesting plot, and you have an awesome James Bond movie.

Man, I love your top 10...God, I need to see Heat and Apollo 13! Btw, you are a Star Trek fan, am I right? You excited for Star Trek: Into Darkness?
