De Niro is just as guilty of the self-parodying routine

A bit more, I would say. I agree with all the rest, good points.

Bleh, The Big Lebowski is one of the most overrated films ever made. Its college douchebag hype-level is almost on par with The Boondock Saints.

I saw Black Swan. I almost ended up like the character in that movie going fucking insane. Good thing angels hang out at mental health facilities!

I also don't understand the love for this movie. I can't stand the way Bridges talks, can barely understand him. I've tried watching it several times and always fall asleep due to boredom or shut it off.

The Big Lebowski is overrated, Burn After Reading is utter shite, and True Grit is fucking boring. fuck the Coen brothers.

(i will watch Fargo at some point, though)

just saw A Separation at the open-air cinema in the really cool park literally 2 minutes from where i live (Lisbon is awesome, you guys), enjoyed it, but drama is definitely not for me.

Oh come on, The Big Lebowski is a ton of fun and certainly one of my favorite comedies. I love quotable movies and this has to be one of the most quotable movies of all time.

This. And I like Bridges and Fargo is awesome.

Hype doesn't necessarily equal a bad film. I still like the Coens, and BL, a lot.

Arnold is a curious guy. He has shown us what dedication and perseverance can do in creating a career but he's also a gleaming example of what not to do in your personal life. He's gone as far as he can go as an actor.

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows

fun, but at some points it came off like they were talking just to show off how fucking British they all were.

dunno. it's an impression i get in any movie where americans are playing brits. it's like everything is supposed to sound wittier or funnier if spoken in a british accent.

catching Amélie tomorrow in the open-air cinema. friday and saturday it's The Departed and Rango. might see Rango again if i can get someone to go with me, but don't think it'll happen.

Just came home from seeing 'The Amazing Spider-Man' which was much better than the first 3 movies. It's visually stunning as they've perfected Spiderman's movements and webbing. Great fun!

I had many friends highly recommend 'The Big Lebowski' to me for years. They couldn't believe that I had not watched it so I finally did and much like you guys, I didn't get the big deal being made about it. I found the dialogue funny but overall I found it to be a boring film.
