It's called an EXAMPLE, Jake. Obviously, "Psycho" was nominated in 4 categories (though it wasn't nominated for best film, which it shoulda),
but the point is, "The Shining" is a classic.
If I said "Goodfellas" was better than "Pulp Fiction", would you deny that?
The Steve Francis-Kobe Bryant comparisson was just embarassing on your behalf...
Kobe doesn't hate the Lakers, he LOVES the Lakers, he hates incompetent fucks who are two-sided, sorta' like you.

QuoteIt's called an EXAMPLE, Jake. Obviously, "Psycho" was nominated in 4 categories (though it wasn't nominated for best film, which it shoulda), no you got your info wrong,lolyou clearly said "WHAT DONT YOU GET ABOUT HORROR FILMS NOT BEING RESPECTED, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE DAYS?! Jeez, man... "Psycho" never got nominated"lol funny man too funny.
Quotebut the point is, "The Shining" is a classic. no duh it is, we're not arguing thatthe point of the thread was the move the shining had better actors (i proved that wrong) , better writing (i proved that wrong) and better directing ( just so this doesn't drag on i'll give both equal credit)
QuoteIf I said "Goodfellas" was better than "Pulp Fiction", would you deny that? it wouldn't be an argument because the two films are on the same playing field. i'd probably agree goodfellas was better because in a way it is. it paved the way for pulp fiction.
QuoteThe Steve Francis-Kobe Bryant comparisson was just embarassing on your behalf...how so ? kubricks screenplay/writing of this film was about as strong as steve francis' scoring. Tarintinos screenplay/writing is about as strong as kobe's QuoteKobe doesn't hate the Lakers, he LOVES the Lakers, he hates incompetent fucks who are two-sided, sorta' like you. lol if i was on the lakers i wouldn't asked to be traded. that's for sure. i must worship the lakers then if kobe loves them.
""Psycho" never got nominated, what a horrible film! Alfred Hitchcock is a joke!"...I was obviously being sarcastic. And no "Psycho" WASNT nominated for best film, so it's not "TOO FUNNY"...obviously it was nominated for other things, but that whole sentence was just an EXAMPLE.
That's where you become a stubborn, close-minded dickhead. In my VALID opinion, "The Shining" had the better writing and directing.
See, you're a fucking hypocrite. You say "Goodfellas" is better, yet it got the lower ratings and some bad reviews just like "The Shining" did. A prime example of why you're a dickhead, Jake.
Your examples suck ass, get Kobe off your mind.
Oh, wait...I actually think "Pulp Fiction" is a better movie now, Jacob...NOTYou're a joke, man. But what should I expect from someone who compares movies to basketball players... When it comes to movies, it's a matter of taste and preference, as opposed to basketball players, cuz then we're simply speaking about who gets it done. Get help, Jake.
lol if basketball players are judged by who gets it done then Lebron>kobe, steve nash>kobe carlos boozer>kobe, baron davis>kobe ect. ect. ect.
