Watching Sense8 on Netflix. About 5 episodes in and it's a pretty fascinating story so far, very unique, good acting, and as usual all depends on how it comes together.
First season is excellent!Watching Sense8 on Netflix.
First season is excellent!
2nd is filled with Wachowski Sisters weirdness.
There's also some holiday episode too.
Are you referring to the Batman character or his two Batman movies? Not that I agree with either, but just wondering.Burton’s Batman was the worst of the series.
The penguin one.Are you referring to the Batman character or his two Batman movies? Not that I agree with either, but just wondering.
The movie had no plot. The opening scene didn’t suck because it was a shootout, it sucked because it was a 1980s shootout in what was supposed to be a 1940s movie. Wilie was painfully 80s. The actress explained her role best, “a screaming dumb blonde.” Her character never developed. Having Jones as James Bond in the opening was stupid. The movie would have been improved by opening with the plane crash and skipping everything that came before because it was pointless. I’m glad you recognize the lameness of the raft scene but none of the other scenes were much better. The “save us white man!” crap in India was anachronistic even by 80s standards. The script writers seemed to think that having Harrison Ford run around with a hat and a whip for two hours would carry the movie. In reality, it was tedious and stupid. The sidekick was okay. He was the only character in the movie who wasn’t annoying.i had to recover because i was reeling from the awfulness of @IronWing 's post.
The short truth is that Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom is an awesome film.
It can be debated that Temple has faults and that it certainly isn't as good as Raiders, but it's still a terrific film of its own.
First off, it has several memorable scenes;
1. the joke on Indy NOT having his gun when the bad guy with the sword shows up
2. indy grabbing onto the ropes and using black magic to burn the stones out of Mola Ram's hand.
This is an important character development which i need to spell out fordumbassespeople with short attention spans like you; in Raiders after the school meeting, in Indiana's apartment, he tells Marcus that he does not believe in superstition, while in Temple he is willing to believe in a desperate attempt to save the situation.
3. the lunch scene
4. the bugs scene
5. the fucking amazing mines set
You may or may not like the parachuting-on-a-dinghy scene, or the .. idk, minecart chase? which for a 1984 film is pretty damn decent, and maybe the introductory restaurant shootout isn't great, but the rest is pretty good, being both funny - where Short Round is an appropriate sidekick as "being annoying" is what sidekick kids do - and also pretty damn dark, again for a 1984 film, not very common to show people eating bugs or monkey brains.
Yeah i mean, if you want to stoop so low as to accuse Temple of not having the artistry of Raiders, which is one of the greatest films ever made, then maybe you just don't like any film outside of the IMDb's Top 100. It's a fun action comedy that's in your face a lot more, but it's not too different in approach than, say, Burton's Batman.
Solid 7.5/10
Crap. May as well catch Cage's bits on Youtube at some point then. Why waste time watching a lame movie for the best parts? Sucks that the director/producer couldn't tell that more screen time for Cage meant better movie.Loved Cage's Dracula, not so much everything else.
No, Signs is total trash.
Aliens travel light years to a world that is 75% covered in something that will burn them. Yeah okay.
"Swing away Jimmy!"
So fucking stupid...
Stephen King probably doesn't want to be associated with him because he generally makes garbage movies.
ReallyBurton’s Batman was the worst of the series.
That's why ignored him and just enjoyed everything else about the movie. 6/10 for me.I suppose he was supposed to be some sort of space James Bond, but lacked literally every aspect of a compelling person?
You didn't get the same backlash about the comics / books / manga "being better" because Valerian is from 50 years ago and the people from that age don't really spend time whining on the internet, but i was a fan of the comics and Valerian was absolutely superb.Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) - 4/10
Eh.. it was sci-fi. I enjoyed (both) openings of the movie (I'm a sucker for Bowie's Space Oddity.)
But after that.. ugh. I mean, it had .. characters. And dialogue. And Cara Delevingne is cute. Beyond that.. I don't know what the point of the movie was supposed to be. It wasn't comedy, it wasn't action, it wasn't romantic, it wasn't poignant. The main character was.. unengaging? I suppose he was supposed to be some sort of space James Bond, but lacked literally every aspect of a compelling person?
It's the 3rd best out of the current 4. It's a distant to Raiders and Last Crusade, but any Indy is great.Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - in all the years that this movie has been out, no one thought to mention just how awful it is. The plot, the acting, the stunts are unbelievably bad. 0/10
it's interesting the had guest cameos from Voyager but none from DS9.Picard S03 10/10
I thought this was pretty much perfect. I loved the fact that they trickled in some of the old cast. I thought that was handled wonderfully. The ways in which the characters aged and evolved felt genuine and authentic. The resolution couldn't have been more satisfying. The plot was fairly complex but handled very adroitly. This is a series I'll definitely be watching again.
I hadn't realized just how much it affected me. Back in the 90's, I'd go out on my bike and come home to watch TNG. Didn't really think much of it. With this series, the characters feel almost real. I don't think they could have ended the Picard/TNG era very much better.
