    Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

    I watched the Star Wars teaser...meh. It looks interesting and rather generic. I will still see it though

        NO.
        Don't you know there are no original ideas in Hollywood anymore.
        Everything has to be either a sequel or a reboot.

            About the Miracle On The Hudson. You could tell they were not trying to Hollywoodize this thing, and they did a good job of it. Very solid movie, highly recommend.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              The acting was outstanding. JFC. Top notch. The presentation of the story, however, was rather choppy. I think the flow really needed improvement. I don't mind dry movies, but this was one that should not have been shown in such a manner.

                I've been pretty sick the last three days. When I wasn't sleeping, I caught a few movies.

                The Deerhunter - that was one big fat meh. I don't get how this is so highly rated. The first hour was wholly useless.
                Any Given Sunday - Awful. No redeeming qualities.
                Michael Clayton - pretty good
                War Dogs - surprisingly good and interesting
                Catch me if you can - also good
                Insomnia - Creepy but boring

                  The first hour is brilliant. Once they leave for Nam it's meh.

                    I was so bored with the movie I almost turned it off after the first hour. The acting was terrible. The story was useless.

                    Sinclair's The Jungle did that scene much better in book form. Spend a short time at the wedding, tell the story, move on. They drew that scene out for 45 minutes, spent 15 on the hunt, then sent you to Vietnam. The only useful scene was, "F_ck it."

                        The wedding is the story. It's not a war movie or a political movie or an adventure movie, it's a period piece about those people back in that little sh-t PA town (disclaimer: exactly the same as the little sh-t PA town my mother's side is from). It's basically a story about Trump voters 40 years ahead of its time.

                        Meryl Streep sucks, but everything else in the first hour of that film is perfect.

                          I thought Streep was the only decent performance aside from DeNiro.

                            Well it would appear we are two different people. (I've never cared for DeNiro very much in that movie either.)

                              I think that was the precise moment the movie lost me. I could get by the annoying and inappropriate cuts to b-roll during every speech in the movie*. I could get by the horrible stereotypes. But by that point, it was obvious there was no plot. No acting. And it was just an awful movie.

                              * - it reminded me of an Ebert line about Battlefield Earth. "The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."

                                Any Given Sunday was awful...it took every stupid cliche, chewed them up, spit them out, then re-ate them crapped them out and ate the crap.
