    I just don't get it, t. I've tried this film numerous times and I just don't see the appeal.
    Really? I think it's one of the top 10 movies ever made.

    Network - 10/10

    Arthur Jensen: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

    You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West.

    There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars.

    Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

    You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy.

    There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

    What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale.

    The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality.

    One vast and e enical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

    Howard Beale: Why me?

    Arthur Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.

    Howard Beale: I have seen the face of God.

    Arthur Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.

    12 Years a Slave - 8/10. Solid movie elevated by the performances of their leads (Ejiofor, Nyongo, and Fass). Being named Best Picture, I was expecting a little more but still a solid film overall.

    non-stop

    solid movie without any shenanigans from side characters that make it hard to watch like liams previous movies, no catch phrases also, but a solid movie from start to finish, ending might be rush due to budget, but solid non the less..

    good part when the pilot tries to descend when he calls the plane a wanker...

    Take Shelter- Great movie, tbh, one of the best movies I've seen the past few years..

    Michael Shannon's performance was outstanding, that really knows how to play depressing roles in every show/movie he's in, tbh..

    Hunger games 2: 7/10

    Better production value, Woody is great as usual.

    Seeing someone that just passed away in a movie is always weird, but Hoffman was a huge addition in acting. The only thing was that he seemed like too much of a slob to be part of that society. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it made the ending a bit more predictable. Twilight should have taken notice of how to do a sappy love triangle.

    Elysium: 5/10

    had great potential, just turned out average.

    Frozen: 9/10

    Holy . When I first saw this advertised last year, I thought Disney had just thrown something together for the holiday season for a last-minute cash-grab.

    Nope. Another great from Big D. Wow.

    Oh yeah.....the Lego Movie.

    I don't get the hype here either. I chuckled a few times, but no laugh out loud or any other wow moments.

    5/10

    What a piece of story. Some of the volcano scenes look good, but what a waste of time.
    And who forced Jack Bauer to be in it? Somebody must have thrown a load of $$$ at Sutherland.

    Call Me -the rise and Fall of Heide Fleiss played by Meadow Soprano.
    Made for TV movie 2004.

    Entertaining. The one q going in was how did they keep her quiet?
    Essentially death threat that she took and apparantly still takes seriously.
    Cause it's entirely believable she has info on the *highest* levels of the political and bidness/social community.

    It was boring considering how interesting the subject matter is.

    watched CA2 last night and I'm confused why people like it so much. I mean it's understandable to love certain actors/actresses (like Goddess) but the movie as a whole sucked major asses. CA acted like a pussy refusing to fight that Bucky near the end of the film, and it broke Franklin's heart to see Goddess being shot and wounded

    's probably even worse than the prior episode CA1 tbh. When you were watching the film you'd keep wondering why IM or Hulk or Thor didn't step in to rescue the SHIELD, it is apparent the winter soldier would get immediately KO'ed by any one of IM, Hulk or Thor tbh.

    It was like playing the trio of Joseph, Patty Mills and Matt Bonner on the court with Manu/Tony/Duncan sitting on the bench, tbh.

    I admit it could have been better.
