US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has come out and blamed the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, ZOA, etc) for ruining her political career. While in congress she refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, McKinney said “war was declared” on her by the Jewish lobby. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Pro Zionist Israeli interests.”
of course there's a difference between favorite and best, you knob. For instance my favorite football team is the Buccaneers, but lord knows that team isn't anywhere close to best lol
There is difference between both, i can love a movie and see it has mistakes and its not perfect, and in the other hand i can dislike a movie and considerer it a masterpiece.
Yes,MRCAB--I'm with you 100% on that--anytime someone says that their favorite film is The Godfather,85% of the time they really mean GFII,even if they disagree with you,and most of the time they won't.BTW,M. Night really sucks--how can he still get these big budgets after so many absolute failures?by virtue of Sixth Sense and Signs?Or is it this sort of "we've got this Goldblum-ish looking Indian kid with watered down Hitchcockian suspensibilities whom Spielberg completely misjudged,
Night-We all love you! I say this with the utmost sincerity-PLEASE,PLEASE...STOP MAKING MOVIES!-Just Stop it okay?!?! It's alright if you film stuff, or even if you want to write scripts as well? Just don't try to combine the two and, then try to sell them anymore? That's all we ask? It only makes us bitter towards you and very, very SAD! We don't know what happened to you as a a director, but it's not good? Just stop buddy, STOP! Your loving Fans!
M. Night got it wrong from the top...naming your favorite movie is the only question you can answer because that's something that acknowledges the fact that its calling for a personal opinion from the individual, which you can easily offer.
naming the best movie is impossible...no one film can be called 'The Best'...no matter how many polls you conduct, no matter any of it, that question cannot be universally answered.
You know, the only reason why people harp on this guy so much is because he's actually a really good director. If he wasn't, then no one would care. True, he's had a few stinkers - but so has Spielberg. At least he attempts to make movies that don't treat the audience seriously. I mean, he's not as bad as Michael Bay.
Apocalypse Now is definitely the greatest American picture ever made. And guess what, it's by the same director as The Godfather trilogy. Frances Ford Coppola was the best. Hands down.
I don't think I could pick a favourite, so much depends on my mood, but I love 'Life is Beautiful', 'Harold and Maude', 'Mary and Max', 'Fargo', 'The Godfather 2' and 'The Shawshank Redemption'.
@RHCPfan458 The Godfather is not my favorite movie. But saying it's overrated is an asshole statement. Perfect acting, directing, etc., etc. Go learn some shit and then come see me.
@CertifiedGooner729 Learn "some shit"? I know alot about movies and i know a heck of a lot about tv and I'm sure I know alot more than you and in my OPINION it is over rated!
@RHCPfan458 You know a lot more about movies than me. That's a real educated assumption you've just made. Yes. That's your OPINION. You have the right to have that opinion. BUT 90% of the public (and even those who've never seen GD and like to lie and say they've seen it) would call bullshit on your opinion. This is the Internet, my friend. You can't cop out and use the "opinion" card. Especially not in a video with AFI in the title!
@CertifiedGooner729 Yes yes and you made a very educated assuption about me needing to go "learn some shit". And yes i'd say about 80% would disagree but that doesn't mean they're right, and it doesn't mean I'm right.
Oh and i can't use the "opinion card" on the internet? Where did this rule appear out of cause I've never heard such BS. I can have my own opinion in an interview on AFI, in a book where my thoughts are published or a magazine or a website or even a youtube comment section.
@RHCPfan458 You're a smarter guy than I imagined. You figured out my comment was BS (...a joke). The Godfather is not an overrated movie. It's a flawless movie. How can it be overrated if it's flawless? At least give me a reason why this movie shouldn't be a 10/10. You can't just state it's overrated and not illustrate your point.That's not how film criticism works.
@CertifiedGooner729 I don't remember signing up for the role of a film critic, I'm just saying its over-rated and I don't have to, nor do I feel like, giving reasons for my statement.
@CertifiedGooner729 Lol what?! So..... I guess you've given up on continuing to argue with me because a) You couldn't be bothered arguing with an idiot like me. b)You have better things to do than discuss The Godfather in a youtube comments section. Or c) I'm such a stubborn asshole you know you won't be able to reason with me.
Pick any of the above excuses that most youtube commenters use when they say something unrelated and deragatory i.e "Close your mouth before I take a dump in there"....
@CertifiedGooner729 Ran out of space and didn't have time to continue writing but here it goes and you kind of proved my point by answering A and C.
............"Before I take a dump in there", and don't want to admit that they just couldn't think of anything to say back so they trash talk instead!
The Godfather. Yeah, I'm against killing puppies, too.
Safe, middle-of-the-road choice by the most over rated big-budget director ever. His first movie had one decent idea, then he's made nothing but pretentious boring crap ever since.
He is absolutely right, if you're sayin' The Best Movie Of All Time! its definitely The Godfather.. but if it was your Fav, then pick anyting you like :)
Shyamalan has his own style and vision .. just because his other movies aren't as famous as 6th sense doesn't mean they're bad.
Village for example to me, was an allegory of a society ruled with fear. It wasn't about the "twist".
True enough, his story structure often includes a twist, but the worth of a movie isn't always in the plot structure, or the plot outcome for that matter. It can be in the style, message, the ideas.
Ever wonder why every M. Night Shayamlan film always advertise it " From the Director of The Sixth Sense "? Becuase that's the only good film he's ever made. He's a one hit wonder, he's only riding off that one film.
Dump on Shyamalan all you want (and he deserves it most of the time), but I thought that was a great response. I feel the same way when someone asks me what my favorite movie is, because it's hard to separate best movie from your favorite. Coincidentally, Raiders is also in my top 5 favorite movies.
I'm surprised he didn't name one of his own movies as his favourite. arrogant asshole, but I do like at least 4 of his films before lady in the water.
i like his judgement on what "favorite movie" means. im surprised a director with such passion and knowledge has made so many mistakes. but i do like some of his movies. go ahead, hate me. call me an idiot with no sense and that i suck justin bieber's dick or something but i enjoy some of his films. except "the last airbender." that is not his material.
@slowmovement Not in our lifetime. One movie was comic-book-character idiocy, another was that ludicrous The Village. He has been able to make movies based on the success of his I SEE DEAD PEOPLE. He will be remembered for finding other ways of putting stupid ideas on film. Why did I see them? I certainly didn't pay and now when I see his name connected to a movie I will just stay away unless I'm invited to a beer party where they show The Village and Plan 9 From Outer Space for laughs.
Love M. Night's work. The movies I like best from him are ones critics panned! In my opinion, the critics are just jealous, uncreative hacks who are too used to cheap Hollywood entertainment and cannot appreciate the original and imaginative depictions of beauty, goodness, and truth his films capture. I love that he is willing to go against Hollywood norms and expectations to see his vision through.
@EphesianRose You might have nailed exactly the point. Shymalan as a person and creative figure seems to be especially provocative to medicore mainstream thinking of so many critics and filmgoers.
@EphesianRose I agree with you 100 %. I love his work, he is one of my favorite directors ever, and I don't care what anyone says, I really enjoyed The Last Airbender.
@MRCAB Really. I kind of have to disagree on that. I mean don't get me wrong I loved Godfather part II but better than Part I. Nah I really don't think so.
BTW Godfather is not my favorite film of all time but its definately one of my favorites. I really don't have an all time favorite I love lots of different films.
@SillySmacked pfff, that is EXACTLY the attitude that is ruining Hollywood. People like you that accept half-assed jobs and bullshit works. This is why of ALL the movies this year only a fraction were watchable...as the price of a movie ticket SOARS. Good, now in my area I'm paying 11 bucks for a fucking regular ticket to see bullshit movies like Terminator Salvation (crap) and airbenders (beyond shit). Keep up the great attitude you are helping greatly
@Foomypoo Hollywood can't be ruined. It was built by a variety of people who cared for seperate groups of interest; comedy, horror, action/adventure, thriller, ect. Anyone will pay for high price tickets to see what appeals to them and calls to their imagination really. For example, theatre is still alive (broadway) because of the living performance that makes actors great at their craft and the shows are classics that cannot be perfectly redone. Movies this year are no different then others.
@Foomypoo Movies this year are no different then years before. Technology is more advanced but the craft of film making is still the same. Inception might be the new Matrix, Salt might be the new Bourne, or even Despicable Me is the new Ice Age. They appeal to the same audience so the same audience will go. The Last Airbender appeared to children and children who watched the show will enjoy the movie because its accurate and family friendly. Thats the reason M. Night made it, his kids loved it.
@SillySmacked Hmmm im sorry if i misunderstood your comment but...are you trying to deffend "the last airbender" by saying that is for kids, because if thats the case, well it doesn't work, you cant make a crappy kid movie and say "well its just for kids" because it doesnt change the fact that the movie is crap,come on just because is for kids that doesnt mean that should be bad or for dumb kids, just look at toy story, dumbo, the lion king pd:sorry for my english :P
@SillySmacked Anything can be ruined kid don't fool yourself. Go back to school and learn some fuckign history before you talk shit you know nothign about. And yes, ppl will pay to see GOOD shit like Broadway. Don't compare modern and classic theatre o Broadway to the shit Hollywood produces. Inception new matrix? Salt Bourne??!!? Jesus is that how shit keeps going from morons that compare old to knew? M Night hasn't really made anything dude. HE is one of the LEAST liked directors.
@SillySmacked Oh and not THAT many kids liked the movie, including my nephew who thought it was shit. So good job, the youngest of young, i.e the beyond immature children, liked a movie. The same kids that liked that movie would have enjoyed an hour long fart joke movie so don't kid yourself. And Terminator BLEW. Bale was such a shitty actor; from the man who did such a great job at Batman, his acting stunk. All the actors, minus kyle, sucked big time. None fit their roles and the storyline blew
@Foomypoo The kids I know liked it. And if you think the storyline blew then you think all the Terminators blew because all of them are based on the same God Damn thing with the same God Damn plot! So if you don't like Terminator's plot, why'd you watch it? If you didn't like the idea of Common and Bale fighting a war against machines with Worthington why'd you watch it? Bale's character had been hardened from being hunted all his life, it was a great job on his part.
@SillySmacked Uhh yea the basic plot of Terminator, that requires GOOD acting and good writing. The acting stunk, and the new plot was poorly done. I wouldnt expect much from you, for you are no robo. I speak in John Connor Claps *clap clap...clap...clap clap....* He sends messages to me in forms of clap communicaitons via the future. He claims that Bale was not an appropriate choice for the newest movie. Wait..wait...*clap clap...clap...clap clap* Oh he also says, you are a faggot. Enjoy.
I'm not a filmaker. I'm sure is not easy to create,write, & direct a movie, as this guy did for all of his. A lot people have criticisim about him not making decent films since the Sixth Sense. I still support him. I've seen all his films. Can't wait to see "devil".
@legorocks3 : Agree. I will always watch a first run M. Night movie. I think he is a very talented & underrated filmmaker. He needs to stay away, tho, from children's fantasy stories (Like LITW), IMHO, tho I adored 'Unbreakable'. Too many judge his later works by Sixth Sense, which I don't get. Sixth Sense was good but one can see why it had so much mass appeal. A film like Unbreakable was not so popular culture-oriented, but was still a fine film, tho the ending could've been less hasty.
man fuck shamamamalan he had one good movie and that was the 6th sense,. he just tried to capitalize using the same formula on other movies but failed.
m. night is an idiot. favorite = what you think is the best. godfather might be brilliant technically but that doesn't means it's the greatest movie ever necessarily. subjectivity GODDAMIT!
Hack director. The Sixth Sense was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The "dead people" looked like they were put together by kids in a sixth grade classroom, complete with Heinz ketchup on them. Who gives him money to make these films?
The "Trip" is you see all these so -called superstars and then you see them in movies from 20 or 30 years ago [Clint eastwood "Revenge of the creature"] and you realize they all been "honing their craft" for half their lives! We just figured out how good they are!
To me, Raiders was also a perfect film. They took their concept and executed it perfectly. There are a number of perfect films. The Godfather, if it stands above the others, stands above them for different reasons. The story, the acting, the immensely quotable dialogue, the cinematography. But even then, there has to be some favoritism. You can't just objectively say "this movie is the best."
@VJWU I think all of M. Night's movies are awesome. They are all original stories with crazy twists. Most movies that come out now a days have already "been done" in a sense. M. Night has a refreshing view.
I read it in 1993. And, no, it is not superior, whatsoever. As I say, it reads like the work of a hack screenplay writer, which is essentially what Crichton always was. It tries to persuade the reader that the key overriding theme is chaos theory, but this is meretricious bunk. The park does not break down due to the laws of complexity theory; it breaks down because a fat guy turns the fences off. Junk science/maths for the masses.
Raiders. Niiiiiiiice

I certainly didn't pay and now when I see his name connected to a movie I will just stay away unless I'm invited to a beer party where they show The Village and Plan 9 From Outer Space for laughs.

Love M. Night's work. The movies I like best from him are ones critics panned! In my opinion, the critics are just jealous, uncreative hacks who are too used to cheap Hollywood entertainment and cannot appreciate the original and imaginative depictions of beauty, goodness, and truth his films capture. I love that he is willing to go against Hollywood norms and expectations to see his vision through.

@EphesianRose You might have nailed exactly the point. Shymalan as a person and creative figure seems to be especially provocative to medicore mainstream thinking of so many critics and filmgoers.
slowmovement 1 year ago
@EphesianRose I agree with you 100 %. I love his work, he is one of my favorite directors ever, and I don't care what anyone says, I really enjoyed The Last Airbender.

@MRCAB Really. I kind of have to disagree on that. I mean don't get me wrong I loved Godfather part II but better than Part I. Nah I really don't think so.
BTW Godfather is not my favorite film of all time but its definately one of my favorites. I really don't have an all time favorite I love lots of different films.

The Godfather is the favorite film for people with no imagination. There were other movies made besides the Godfather and Citizen Kane.

SillySmacked 1 year ago
@SillySmacked pfff, that is EXACTLY the attitude that is ruining Hollywood. People like you that accept half-assed jobs and bullshit works. This is why of ALL the movies this year only a fraction were watchable...as the price of a movie ticket SOARS. Good, now in my area I'm paying 11 bucks for a fucking regular ticket to see bullshit movies like Terminator Salvation (crap) and airbenders (beyond shit). Keep up the great attitude you are helping greatly
Foomypoo 1 year ago
@Foomypoo Hollywood can't be ruined. It was built by a variety of people who cared for seperate groups of interest; comedy, horror, action/adventure, thriller, ect. Anyone will pay for high price tickets to see what appeals to them and calls to their imagination really. For example, theatre is still alive (broadway) because of the living performance that makes actors great at their craft and the shows are classics that cannot be perfectly redone. Movies this year are no different then others.
SillySmacked 1 year ago
@Foomypoo Movies this year are no different then years before. Technology is more advanced but the craft of film making is still the same. Inception might be the new Matrix, Salt might be the new Bourne, or even Despicable Me is the new Ice Age. They appeal to the same audience so the same audience will go. The Last Airbender appeared to children and children who watched the show will enjoy the movie because its accurate and family friendly. Thats the reason M. Night made it, his kids loved it.
SillySmacked 1 year ago
@SillySmacked Hmmm im sorry if i misunderstood your comment but...are you trying to deffend "the last airbender" by saying that is for kids, because if thats the case, well it doesn't work, you cant make a crappy kid movie and say "well its just for kids" because it doesnt change the fact that the movie is crap,come on just because is for kids that doesnt mean that should be bad or for dumb kids, just look at toy story, dumbo, the lion king pd:sorry for my english :P

Jesus is that how shit keeps going from morons that compare old to knew? M Night hasn't really made anything dude. HE is one of the LEAST liked directors.
Foomypoo 1 year ago
@SillySmacked Oh and not THAT many kids liked the movie, including my nephew who thought it was shit. So good job, the youngest of young, i.e the beyond immature children, liked a movie. The same kids that liked that movie would have enjoyed an hour long fart joke movie so don't kid yourself. And Terminator BLEW. Bale was such a shitty actor; from the man who did such a great job at Batman, his acting stunk. All the actors, minus kyle, sucked big time. None fit their roles and the storyline blew
Foomypoo 1 year ago
@Foomypoo The kids I know liked it. And if you think the storyline blew then you think all the Terminators blew because all of them are based on the same God Damn thing with the same God Damn plot! So if you don't like Terminator's plot, why'd you watch it? If you didn't like the idea of Common and Bale fighting a war against machines with Worthington why'd you watch it? Bale's character had been hardened from being hunted all his life, it was a great job on his part.
SillySmacked 1 year ago
@SillySmacked Uhh yea the basic plot of Terminator, that requires GOOD acting and good writing. The acting stunk, and the new plot was poorly done. I wouldnt expect much from you, for you are no robo. I speak in John Connor Claps *clap clap...clap...clap clap....* He sends messages to me in forms of clap communicaitons via the future. He claims that Bale was not an appropriate choice for the newest movie. Wait..wait...*clap clap...clap...clap clap* Oh he also says, you are a faggot. Enjoy.

@legorocks3 : Agree. I will always watch a first run M. Night movie. I think he is a very talented & underrated filmmaker. He needs to stay away, tho, from children's fantasy stories (Like LITW), IMHO, tho I adored 'Unbreakable'. Too many judge his later works by Sixth Sense, which I don't get. Sixth Sense was good but one can see why it had so much mass appeal. A film like Unbreakable was not so popular culture-oriented, but was still a fine film, tho the ending could've been less hasty.

To me, Raiders was also a perfect film. They took their concept and executed it perfectly. There are a number of perfect films. The Godfather, if it stands above the others, stands above them for different reasons. The story, the acting, the immensely quotable dialogue, the cinematography. But even then, there has to be some favoritism. You can't just objectively say "this movie is the best."

Jurassic Park is another case of the movie being better than the book. Interestingly, another Spielberg movie.
Crichton was a guy with good ideas but his books read like sloppy, bloated screenplays rather than true novels.
KaitainCPS 2 years ago
Obviously you have never, ever read Chricton's 'Jurassic Park'. The book is superior to the film in every, single, fathomable, possible way.
KillSwitch2 2 years ago
I read it in 1993. And, no, it is not superior, whatsoever. As I say, it reads like the work of a hack screenplay writer, which is essentially what Crichton always was. It tries to persuade the reader that the key overriding theme is chaos theory, but this is meretricious bunk. The park does not break down due to the laws of complexity theory; it breaks down because a fat guy turns the fences off. Junk science/maths for the masses.
A pretentious book, laughably bad in places.
