>Fight Club ---
I thought it was interesting, funny, and aesthetically compelling. I think that its content makes it the #1 favorite film of all time for asshole 16-26 year old men. Whether or not they understand the satire.
>Donnie Darko ---
Never seen it, I'm guessing I wouldn't like it.
>Pulp Fiction ---
Fun movie.
>Star Wars episodes I - III ---
I watched one when it came out. It was horrifically bad. Then I watched two with my little brothers. More of the same. I may watch three on video.
>Crash --- >War of the Worlds ---
Didn't see either of these.
>Napoleon Dynamite ---
Obviously, it's a Wes Anderson knockoff. It's all very derivative. But I thought it was an impressive achievement, and it was charming and funny, if slight. So I guess I'm in the middle, between the dumbells who think it's some great secret discovery they made, and the people who hate those people and the film by extension.
>Lord of the Rings trilogy ---
A lot of fun. Possibly too much. I thought some of the hobbit effects weren't as effective as they were supposed to be, it was disconcerting to me.
>Sin City ---
I walked out, I thought the film was inane and leaden. Aesthetically interesting.
>Matrix series ---
I watched about half of the first one on video and got bored. I watched the second one in the theater (snuck in), and it was horrifically bad.
>Memento ---
Fun, but co-opted by those same guys that used to love The Usual Suspects.
>City of God ---
Never saw it. Lately I've been avoiding any film that could be described as "harrowing"
>Lost in Translation ---
A very funny film about people overcoming alienation. Not racist, very good.
>Scarface ---
I've never seen it, but I'm reasonably confident it's retarded. Another film for people with more teenage hormones than taste.
>Training Day ---
I really liked it, though I thought it fell apart a bit at the end. Denzel's performance was about as good a showing as a movie star could ever make. He's really amazing at what he does.
>Family Guy ---
Lowest common denominator BS.
>Simpsons ---
One of the greatest television shows ever. I haven't watched regularly in nearly 10 years, but I don't really mind that they're still making episodes. Obviously, the quality isn't what it could be, but it's still better than According to Jim.
>Aqua Teen Hunger Force ---
Pretty funny for 10 minutes.
>Arrested Development ---
A brilliant show, though I wish it were more character-driven and a bit less precious. Sometimes the cast is wasted. The cast, btw... best since Cheers. What a fucking brilliant cast.
>Lost ---
Never seen it.
>The Office, American and British ---
Both are fantastic. The British send-off special was some of the best TV I've ever seen. The US version might be the funniest show on TV right now.
>CSI (original and spinoffs) --- >Sopranos --- >Wonderfalls ---
I saw the Sopranos once or twice, but otherwise, I've never seen these.
>Freaks and Geeks ---
A really great little show. Wish it had succeeded. Probably not as good as it's rep would suggest, but really great nonetheless.
>Undeclared ---
As above, although the cast is a little weaker.
>Marvel vs DC ---
When I was 12, and it was still appropriate to have this argument, I chose Marvel, usually.
>Batman and prep time ---
Iron Man. That MF'er is ALWAYS prepared.
>Harry Potter (books and/or movies) ---
Fuck that.
>George W. Bush (just curious) ---
I voted for Sharpton, so you can imagine what my politics are.
