Nominations thread - July '07

[Joad]

I second V for Vendetta. That was an awesome movie.

[Obdurate]

It was, and it actually leaves ROOM TO DISCUSS SOMETHING.
I don't know why the hell people are saying Transformers. Unless they decided to make Transformers an art film with a crazy amount of symbolism and a crazy plot. But Bay made it, so I highly doubt that.

[Wolf]

I'm gonna third-end V for Vendetta. Haven't seen it but I will. I'm not gonna spend $7 just to see Transformers.

[Justin.Robar]

I'm tilting this away from Transformers -- not saying it's not good, but it leaves NOTHING to talk about. "Wow, Michael Bay didn't totally **** this up! Cool guys, see ya next month."

I'm adding endorsements for:
V For Vendetta
Fight Club
Gummo

And adding my own options:
Rocky Balboa
Casino Royale (I think there's more to talk about in that movie than might appear on the outside)
Clerks 2

CURRENT TALLY

V For Vendetta - I I I I
Transformers - I I I
Gummo - I I
Fight Club - I I
Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix - I
Evan Almighty - I
Taxi Driver - I
Dark City - I
Rocky Balboa - I
Casino Royale - I
Clerks 2 - I

[Obdurate]

Thanks Jro. It's completely true what you said about Transformers. Here's another example of what we could talk about:
OH MAN, WHAT KINDA CAR WAS THAT?
Deep.

I think Fight Club and Gummo are the best choices so far but I'll gladly take V for Vendetta.

Ninja edit: I'll throw in a chip for Rocky Balboa as well but you saw that coming! I also think you may be right about Casino Royale, but I don't know. I suppose that's what a club is for though, re-watching and trying to pick things up.

Can't say I agree with Clerks 2 except for that it's hilarious.

Casino Royale - I (1/2)
Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix - I
Evan Almighty - I

EDIT: AJ's not going to be very happy with us, nobody read his sticky, haha. It apparently has to be a movie that is currently in theatres or is opening soon?

[AJ]

Thanks for the tally. Yeah, currently it is. I think it might be changed to in theaters or on DVDs, though.

[Joad]

Personally, i don't think it should be restricted to movies in theater, but if it must...

Okay, i can't believe i forgot about Rocky Balboa. That one was the best one outta all of em. Greatness. I second that over anything.

[AJ]

OK. rules changed. But some of you are nominating/seconding too many movies. You're only supposed to do 2.

[Joad]

So, we can nominate and second up to 2 movies, and it doesn't matter whether its in the movie theaters or not?

If so, then I stand with my previous endorsements, Rocky Balboa and V for Vendetta.
