Go back to your Michael Bay movies. I'll go enjoy something like TKAM or, more likely tonight or very soon, a second viewing of probably my favorite movie ever, Good Will Hunting.

That's what I was thinking.

Lots of great black and white movies out there,

12 Angry Men
Schindler's List
Following
The original Miracle on 34th Street
It's a Wonderful Life
And Citizen Kane. Considered by most to be one of the greatest films of all time.

Movie's should be judged on story, character, acting, direction and cinematography among other things.

Not to say action movies should be frowned upon. Yeah, the Transformers movies aren't good, but fun action movies like Back to the Future are always great.

Just watch it again and keep an open mind, Liam.

Anthony, I doubt Dickey will go to the Redsox now, and it is rumored that the Sox aren't going after Hamilton anymore,

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated. :mrgreen:

It's been a good birthday so far, much better than last year, to say the least. Not looking forward to going back to normal tomorrow though.

I just don't find them exciting because since it is black and white, it was made a while ago, and that makes the acting not as good as today. Just saying.

That is completely fallacious logic. If you were to say that there's a load more competition, so only the best of the best get the parts, then I could agree, but simply saying it was decades ago = worse acting is absolutely untrue.

The huge difference between movies then and today is one thing: emphasis on dialogue (okay, two if you count the pacing). Then, movies were much, MUCH more focused on the dialogue, etc, and overall were far slower-paced than today's movies. Present-day movies have camera changes every, what, 4 seconds on average? It's more action-y, more fast-paced, more ADD, because that's what has grown to accommodate the viewers best is this constant change in camera angles, scenes, etc, and less focus on the conversations, etc. themselves. You don't as see much conversation in, say, Dark Knight Rises or even something like Little Miss Sunshine, as you would in something from 5 decades ago like To Kill A Mockingbird.

"Just saying."

They should remake it with the great actors we have today. Kristen Stewert and Keanu Reeves would make it great. And Tommy Wiseau as Attcius Finch is a must.

Please someone know who Tommy Wiseau is. :P
