Watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Yesterday...

[Lukus Alderman]

...with the wife.

What an awful movie. Aside from the blatant racism featuring Mickey Rooney playing the oriental landlord, there wasn't much to like about the movie. Yes, Hepburn was very pretty, but she was basically as thick as a toothpick and had the voice of a 65 year old lady with emphysema.

Now on to the plot of the movie: two prostitutes, one male and one female, basically fall in love while living next to each other in an apartment building. Of course, the woman is hesitant to leave the comfort of her gold digger lifestyle, but relents at the end of the movie. Did I miss something? There wasn't much else aside from the painful last scene where the two main characters kiss in a badly set rainstorm in a New York alleyway while looking for a cat the crazy Hepburn threw out of the cab.

The movie wasn't even good.

Should've watched "Ten Things I Hate About You".

I think I remember the film, and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it.

lukus, don't give up your day job. you're never gonna make it as either a music or movie critic, and your barbecue skills are still questionable.

then there's the chili with black beans issue.

but keep trying. eventually we'll find something you're good at. maybe power shopping for condoms at the walmart or something.

Man, that was a body slam

 

[streettopeschel]

Lukus, just because a movie isn't animated doesn't necessarily make it bad.

 

[Juan]

I totally dig Audrey Hepburn

 

[POCKEY]

Uhhh......

I give up. You're hopeless.

I guess you would use them things for water balloons.......when you set in the balcony at the movies in the 50's watching Payton Place.

What did you think of Titanic? It's my favorite movie! So romantic!

 

[streettopeschel]

Well not that Lukas has threatened weekly

Reviews i suggest we help. Here's one...

High maintenance b**ch who repeatedly marries for money, fake southern accent and blatant racial stereotyping.

Boom...Gone With the Wind is done.

Titanic gets such a bad rap because it was so overplayed with the Celine Deon song that was shoved down America's throat for months on end until everyone got sick of it. The movie was a good story with very good acting by most of the actors. Put me in the camp that thinks DiCaprio is a great actor. Winslet was also very good in the movie. Overall, a solid love story.

The only thing that didn't make sense was Billy Zane being in the movie. Really? Billy Zane? We're talking Billy Zane here.

Good movie that I'd never watch again in a million years just because of the song.

That movie was too long and slow. I knew it'd be boring so I didn't watch it.

The song is one of my favorites!
