My god, how could you stand to watch them? The first Taken is one of the 10 most boring movies I've ever watched (obviously it's also amazingly stupid but I understand that is not relevant to enjoying it). Do they get any better?

Do they get any better?That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

7 is just Abrams making his version of A New Hope. 8 is...ummm...well the answer to that depends on whether it connects with you or not ;^)
Maybe one day if I get super bored I will watch that trilogy again. Maybe it will click more. (it sometimes happens) As it is it annoys me that Di$ney killed Star Wars for me.
And I never saw Taken 3 but 1 was good. 2 was a train wreck but fun at least...
I like Lost in Translation, I would never put it in my top 10 or even 20 though. Bill Murray is A+ though and Coppola directs the hell out of it."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

VII was OK, it was good to see the old gang back and I liked the interaction of the new trio of characters. Plot was a bit of a rehash but hey they need time to get going.
VIII was OK too. The casino planet was total prequel-level crap and drops the movie down a whole letter grade. The rest though I liked somewhat, though it did take a different feel from the previous movies.
IX was just bad. I mean, they just completely threw in stuff completely unrelated to the previous two. While I didn't think VII and VIII were as good as the original trilogy, I was at least interested to see where they were going when I was watching. IX I just wanted to end. It felt bad to be that checked-out of a SW movie.

Agreed, particularly the bolded sentence. IX could've been salvaged with a more interesting climax/conclusion, but they got lazy and farted it out for easy money.

I enjoyed taken, 2 and 3 were decent OnDemand rainy afternoon movies.
I liked lost in translation but totally agree. It's going to be one of those movies where it's top 5, an excellent movie, or it totally sucks. I don't think I've seen anyone who thought it was ok or even above average. You hate it, you love it, or it was life changingly good. :-)Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
