Caligula is basically a pornographic film with decapitations. Malcolm McDowell feeds some guys dick and balls to a dog. It's a good movie to watch with your mom.
I originally thought he was referencing the historical figure Caligula. The Emperor of Rome who was fucked in the head and would literally watch the city burn as he played music. Then he said the actors name and I remembered he only gets outside information from movies 40 years ago.
Theory now is that Caligula deliberately flaunted his power in order to consolidate it during a weak time. Makes sense when you consider he appointed a horse to the senate, basically saying "your jobs can be done by a horse".
He didn't actually appoint the horse though, he made that comment and that's where the legend comes from. Then he brought back treason trials and was killed off.
Ronnie B was in one day when Jimmy was going on about Crash. Ron has talked about how terrible it was in the past. He kinda played along and while laughing said something like "Jesus, apparently I have to go home and watch Crash again." It's a pile of shit
I really enjoyed that one. The cinematography was great. I think you kind of know how the plot is going to go pretty quickly, but those kid actors are beyond great.
And it almost makes me not just think Stringer Bell when I see that guy now.
I thought it was pretty good as far as music biopics go (although not Oscar worthy), however they really glossed over that Dr. Dre/Eazy-E feud. It made Opie and Ant's feud look cordial in comparision.
It was a decent movie, but no Oscar contender. The first hour or so was fun, but then it lost its way. There was no need for all the Death Row shit. It was only necessary to explain how ugly it got between them until Easy died. But he was dead before Tupac got on Death Row, so there was no reason to squeeze him in there. The Death Row stuff is so insane it deserves its own epic movie. Just seemed like they didn't know what to do with the last hour.
It was just a standard movie, people were talking about it like it was some groundbreaking black cinema classic but it had the exact same pacing and flow of every other music biography movie. Every movie about a band or musician is exactly the fucking same, just in this one the guys had a problem with authority no wait sorry that's also every single other one too (flipped the script there.)
I'm pretty sure he never once said the movie should win for best picture. It was part of that 'no black actors nominated for any of the 40 acting noms over the past 2 years' thing, which I thought was whiny and entitled.
Atleast they didn't try to paint Jerry Heller and Eazy E as bad guys, they were more forgiving to Heller than I had expected. They actually portrayed him as a human being.
The final scene in that movie is probably the worst one I've seen since Jason Takes Manhattan. Dre quits Death Row & Suge lets him out of his contract. Before Dre leaves Suge & random black guy number 147 in the cast ask what Dre will call his new label. Dre looks into the camera and says, "...Aftermath." UGGGGGGHHHHHH. Douche.
Agreed. I love a lot of those older movies, but literally thousands of great movies from indie to big budget have been out since then. They live one of the two biggest cultural capitals of the US and somehow have zero taste in music, movies, and pretty much everything else.
Jimmy is a real panderer's panderer. Probably heard some disgruntled nignog like Kanye West griping about how it should have won an Oscar and just ran with that idea to be an ideal SJW. I went from really liking Jimmy to almost despising him. He's a real fuckin' weasel lately.
I recognise this is anti jimmy circle jerk thread but I actually think he has pretty decent taste in film from what I've heard. He lavished praise on a somewhat obscure New Zealand movie called Once Were Warriors which was fantastic, one of the best in the year it was released
It's an okay movie, but not that good. It got a lot of attention because it was an indy made by native Moaris, about native Moaris. I'm shocked Jimmy would see it at all - or appreciate it.
Best of that year? It was up against little movies like Forrest Gump, The Lion King, The Shawshank Redemption, Speed, and Pulp Fiction. It didn't get a single nomination.
It's not a bad film - it's a bit depressing, and it's interesting if you want to learn about how the natives live in that part of the world. I rank it with Romper Stomper, a good one with a young Russell Crowe about white supremicists in Australia - good indie movie, but not great.
Social commentary movies are always more thematically interesting than generic character journey narratives like Lion King and Forrest Gump. Obviously I'm not going to say that Once Were Warriors > Pulp Fiction since the latter pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the film medium. Just describing any of Once Were Warriors as "okay" indicates to me at least that all of that social commentary might have washed over you.
Obviously a foreign film is never going to have a big showing at the Academy Awards but Temuera Morrison gave a tremendous performance and other technical elements like cinematography were quite good for its budget. It came decades before Precious which did okay at the awards but did a similar kind of narrative better
It was okay. They glossed over the story big time, and there was a lot of serious whitewashing going on. The actors did a good job, but not Oscar level - they may get that good later on.
About the Oscars though, I finally watched "Bridge of Spies"..it was so boring. & that guy who won the Oscar didn't do anything special. Easy E was better than "Bridge of Spies" guy. Absolutely

You mean the guy referencing Caligula in 2016 doesn't have a firm grasp on modern cinema?

Jim Norton's shit brain thinks the movie is edgy so he references it a lot.

They were already sued by Heller, what else could they expect? He's a jew, if you didn't realize.
3 Slateski 2016-07-26
Of all the things Suge might do to one, being sued is probably the least worrying..

1 SkepticSloth 2016-07-26
It's an okay movie, but not that good. It got a lot of attention because it was an indy made by native Moaris, about native Moaris. I'm shocked Jimmy would see it at all - or appreciate it.

It's not a bad film - it's a bit depressing, and it's interesting if you want to learn about how the natives live in that part of the world. I rank it with Romper Stomper, a good one with a young Russell Crowe about white supremicists in Australia - good indie movie, but not great.
Oh, and the main guy was Jengo Fett.
1 sumant28 2016-07-26
Social commentary movies are always more thematically interesting than generic character journey narratives like Lion King and Forrest Gump. Obviously I'm not going to say that Once Were Warriors > Pulp Fiction since the latter pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the film medium. Just describing any of Once Were Warriors as "okay" indicates to me at least that all of that social commentary might have washed over you.
Obviously a foreign film is never going to have a big showing at the Academy Awards but Temuera Morrison gave a tremendous performance and other technical elements like cinematography were quite good for its budget. It came decades before Precious which did okay at the awards but did a similar kind of narrative better
