Really, Tom? I had, like, no idea. Thanks for reminding me, almighty thread monitor.

Seriously, what's wrong with a Schmoe challenging another? I just want Unicron to defend his/her opinion. Surely this may create a more contructive thread than merely listing one's faves.

[FeverDog420]

Good to see so many votes for Almost Famous!

[Tom Samborski]

Unicron just simply stated that his favorite films from 1997/1998 were The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Armageddon. It's really hard to say you liked a movie everyone hated on boards like these. If I hated those movies (I'm not going to say if I liked them or not), I wouldn't critique what he said.

BTW, I wasn't being a "thread monitor", I was just defending Unicron.

[FeverDog420]

Well, obviously, but I'd just like to know what he/she sees in such timid, uninspired Hollywood claptrap. Is that too much to ask?

[Tom Samborski]

He just said those were his favorite films. You may not like them, but he did, and I have nothing against him liking those films. I'll let Unicron have his say on this.
