Always a classic movie.

So was Forget Paris - although I think I lean slightly towards WHMS.

I hope for your sake you were being as ironic as me?

Billy Crystal has never made a good movie

Aww, c'mon. He's adorable in a completely and utterly cheesy way. Nobody has ever taken him seriously (I hope) but that doesn't make him bad.

And he WAS spectacular in The Princess Bride - although his role was rather small.

[Ozle]

Meh, about as good as andre the giant.

He was his generations hugh grant, but without the looks.

Now see, Hugh Grant? Can't stand him.

Don't really like the new generation of Franco/Hathaway either though.

What can I say? They just don't make 'em like they used to! Give me Laurel and Hardy any day.

[Ozle]

Ugh, slapstick

[Galzria]

Honestly though, I'll sit down and watch almost anything from 1905 - 1940 in a heartbeat. Very little that I don't just absolutely love from those years - and that spans all genres of movies.

By the 50's to 60's I start to get a little more selective in my tastes. While there are certainly good movies from the 70's, it just wasn't my era. 80's (when I was born) movies are as varied as they are today, but there was a lot that I enjoy from there. Early 90's were good too. By the time you reach the last 18ish years there hasn't been what I've felt are spectacular story telling movies.

Great actors are secondary to me, and I think the industry cares too much about the cinematic spectacular these days. A good, solid, well told story is just so much harder to find (not impossible. They DO still make good films, but story as an art in movies seems to be slipping).

Obviously that's all VERY generic and unfair to break up or categorize movies by year of release, but it's -generally- how I feel. (That is, "year" is never a determining factor in my choice to watch a movie or feel any level of enjoyment towards it.)

[Galzria]

Haven't been as many* spectacular story telling movies. There have been some. Usually one a year. Two on a good year.

[jotheonah]

When Harry Met Sally is a fantastic movie.

No rom com of the last 20 years can touch Nora Ephron's 90s stuff.

Yeah, but there is always the bias that people prefer movies more from the decades they were born in...

Born in the 80s think that movies from the 80s and music from the 80s are trash.

Somebody missed the cheap joke about Galz's age....

[jotheonah]

It's pretty obvious what it means, but I kind of want "Stop. Halt. Desist." on here.

Never mind, I was ninja'd ages ago and forgot about it.

[sudgy]

Shouldn't you get rid of the "This forum has never seen scum Morgrim."?

[mail-mi]

"Boxed Lunch" box lynch, meaning a lynch for the player BoxOfDOG. Comes from an autocorrect error in NewMafiaIII.

[ashersky]

Time to add "AtE" to the lingo.

Coined by Eevee, means "Appeal to Emotion" and is applied to a specific type of defense.

It's on the commonly used abbreviations that's linked on many mafia games. http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Commonly_Used_Abbreviations

Huh.  Oh well, Eevee attribution retracted.  We can still add it to this page.

Seriously??  You guys have been typing that out for over a year but abbreviate EVERYTHING else??  That cracks me up a little bit.

What does /tag mean in signup threads? Context seems to imply it's different from /in? Or is it just some sort of running joke?
