I love Event Horizon so much. Went to see it back then in a theatre. I was so fucking stoked.

I guess we can add Sam Neill to the list of actors you inexplicably hate

I goddamn adore Sam Neill you monster!

Wait for real? You also mentioned him being bad in that Jurassic Park scene so I just assumed.

What do you mean by "faux intellectualism?"

Yeah, I like Sam Neill a lot. He can be uneven at times and I think when he whiffs a scene its especially irritating to me because I know he can nail most scenes.

I feel like that movie is trying to come off as this super deep exploration when it's all pretty service stuff. There are no new ideas or new angles on old ideas. Perhaps that's my own bias. Maybe the movie isn't trying to be more than it is but it has always come across to me like it thinks it's really smart.

I don't see it as a super deep exploration of anything. It's definitely a riff on familiar topics, but I think it finds plenty of ways to distinguish itself. There's something really human about searching for answers to a mystery in space and finding Gothic Hell of the most primal, visceral, primitive, old-fashioned kind.

Joey, literally nothing happened in three and a half hours of Contact. And Foster was the worst part of it. At least seeing mconahay as a priest was hilarious

Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute, is Contact really over three hours?!

Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute, is Contact really over three hours?!

I said it was just okay, Ruddo.

We should watch Event Horizon together

Joey is right about event horizon. Boring movie.
