I saw the imdb page about that new Bad Lieutenant film the other day. I thought it might've been good. Then I watched that trailer.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can't think of a movie I'd rate 100%

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The Princess Bride and The Muppet Movie for me.
Ooh, and Lilo & Stitch.

Well, it may be entertaining, at least. I'd rather have Nicolas Cage going OTT than have him play restrained, and he certainly looks to be going OTT under Werner's direction.
Still - a bad idea. Too bad Abel seems to have burned any bridges he had at this point. He can't get a movie released straight to DVD in this country, it seems.

I gotta give Princess Bride 99%. Buttercup has a really flat delivery on a couple lines, there's one edit I don't like and there's also a pretty big plot hole.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, the RT rating is not representative of the technical and artistic perfection of the movie, though.

I would give all three of those movies four stars. But 100% to me means absolute perfection. I understand how the tomato meter works.

I can't think of a single 100% movie. Even movies I love above all others, I can't think of something that's wrong with them.
Granted, in some cases, they may be the technology or the cultural standards of the time. But still - there IS no 100%.
Yes, that is a challenge. Let's get some talk going here!!!

I know. Even as I sit here saying there are no 100% movies I am racking my brains trying to think of one.
