KOTLP-

i went out and rented "dark city" becuase you listed it as a favorite and i also saw shaniac listed it as one of his 100 favs. now i dont know you well, but shaniac appears to be a pretty smart dude, but i hear he smokes a lot of grass. i suppose thats why he listed that wretched piece of crap on any list other than "i would suck a c0ck before i watched these movies again......."

whats your excuse?

heh, well, it may not be up as solid as 2 fast 2 furious, but I liked it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, I don't even know for sure if you were joking when you listed your 5, or when you said the only good film on someone else's list was boondock saints (when it was obv by far the worst of the 5). I hope so. Some people in OOT are sarcastic so much of the time it's hard to tell when they are being serious. Anyway, if you honestly just watched and didn't enjoy Dark City (and I'm not just feeding a troll here), you probably just don't like that type of sci-fi/noir. It's generally highly regarded among sci-fi fans. The IMDB rating is at 7.6 after 8 years. It also did well with the critics. Here are a couple reviews:
