Lars Trier is not so much a filmmaker as he is a post-modern media prankster/performance artist.

He has nothing to say except, "HAHA!! Tricked you into watching my film!"

he's certianly become more and more gimmicky but his earlier work (An Element of Crim, Zentropa/Europa, Breaking the Waves) is first class filmmaking.

Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist.  Throw some ground balls.  More democratic.

Correct!

I guess my opinion is not as unpopular as I thought. Never mind.

I find David Lynch to be a pretentious, self-indulgent hack who doesn't even understand the motifs or "metaphors" behind his own movies.  I've seen nearly his entire catalog (sans shorts) and I still can't stand anything the man churns out.  :(

I think Russell Crowe is a fantastic actor.

I like a lot of really cheesy end-of-the-world flicks (Armageddon, Dante's Peak, etc.)  I even enjoyed The Day After Tomorrow and The Core to some extent, despite all their ludicrous scientific plot holes.  Damnable, I know.

I enjoy it too... it's got hilarious moments...

I think Sly was extremely underrated in that film.  "Sorry pop, I tried"

I accept Armageddon is a bad film.  But I can't help it.  I love it.....
