MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

VI annoys me because they built another effing Death Star. It's like Lucas didn't have an original bone left in his body.

That was my biggest complaint about VII as well. "Another super weapon with a fatal flaw? Ahahaha, the bad guys NEVER do that."

Or, that's just what the Empire does. Once you have a weapon that destroys Worlds the only thing that surpasses that is a bigger weapon that destroys Worlds.

Starkiller Base destroyed five planets at once, and the star of the system in which the planet/base was located. Comparing them to non super weapons, they went from Star Destroyer to a fleet of Super Star Destroyers.

Why bother with the planets? Take out the star and that's it for everything in the system.

You know the more I read about the Empire the more I suspect they don't think things through...

Well, sure, everything would eventually die, but it'd take a day or two, but they wanted the senators dead on Hosnian Prime right f--king now, just like some goalies want to be traded!

I'm thinking the change in gravitational forces would rip the planets apart almost immediately. Now hang up.

Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead

Story of the National Lampoon mag/business. I had no idea it got as big as it was. SNL pretty much killed it, as SNL took all of its talent, with a nod to Hollywood also. Very informative, as to how it impacted comedy overall.

Sarajevo:

Guy is charged with finding the culprits behind Ferdinand's assassination. Obviously, it gets a bit thorny. Well done, I thought, despite the cliched political/monetary power struggle themes. Seemed a little hurried at the end, and the love story, well, that's a movie for you.
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Me thinks people on Twitter are reading too much into it, but I kind of hope I'm wrong here.

Star Wars Eps. VII and VIII, when you include their subtitles, they form a sentence, or perhaps two-thirds of a sentence.

The Force Awakens... The Last Jedi... His Long Nap. (Stealing that last bit from someone else.)

:D

The Force Awakens ... The Last Jedi ... Until She has Children ..... Then we have X, XI, and XII

The Beaver:

Well, that was a :censored: up movie. Drama is heavy, it's very well-acted. Mel Gibson is a super-depressed suicidal executive who decides to use a beaver hand puppet to speak for him. Things go well, until everything collapses. Jodie Foster co-stars, and one of JLaw's early roles as a nice bonus.

If you're into weird, this is a movie for you.
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Remember......Jedi is singular AND plural........

Yeah, yeah, yeah... this is known. I just expect the SW story group to follow certain story progressions - the passing from old to new, setting the supreme struggle in the middle act before final perseverance, and things like that.

Jason Bourne.

It's Michael Bay Light. Meh. Had its moments, but overall, the bad outweighed the good.
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Jason Bourne was a huge letdown for me as someone that immensely enjoyed the first three.

Doctor Strange. Very meh. I thought the character development of the Dr. was completely cliched and the initial sequence of him being shown alternate dimensions would fit in better on Nickelodian. I also hate, hate, the use of "shape-shifting" buildings, streets, etc. I nearly fell asleep twice. 2/5
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

I think Bourne would have worked better 5 years ago as a direct sequel to Bourne Ultimatum. (even though it was essentially the same movie) The stupid fake Bourne film a couple years back should have never been made and in this one it just felt forced.
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

I know Kep is always posting "Nuke the South", and along that line there is an excellent documentary out right now called Command and Control, about the time in 1980 where we very nearly did just that. I saw the movie last night on PBS. Not sure if it was released in the theaters or not, but I recommend it.

I vaguely recall a similar incident to this, when someone in the military accidentally dropped a nuclear bomb with an unarmed warhead on one of the Carolinas. It's a foggy memory, so something's probably wrong in that one sentence o' mine.

My guess is there is nothing wrong with your memory. That was one of the scary things about the movie. They talked about how many "accidents" there actually are with nuclear weapons and how basically we have been extremely lucky to have not already blown ourselves up.
