Jerusalem posted:He "can't" read it because he finds it incredible dense/boring/impenetrable and doesn't have the patience to work his way through it like Somerset does. He's a reckless guy who rushes into things, as is demonstrated many times in the movie such as the scene where he kicks the door in despite Somerset's warnings and then they have to pay a homeless person to lie about informing them to come in because she saw the killer. And he later gets a "Cliff's Notes" version of the reading material to better understand it. He has no problem reading that.

KozmoNaut posted:No, that was because you're a bad dad and made your poor daughter watch the SW prequels. She hates the original Star Wars movies because the actors look weird and the special effects suck. I can't argue with her on those points. The prequels have cute boys with long hair and you can't see the wires (matte boxes) around all the spaceships. As much as I hated the prequels, Lucas was right in that they were made for kids. A lot of kids probably care about episode 7 only because they saw episodes 1-3.

They look absolutely amazing, and include only the good parts from the special and HD editions, namely the cleaned-up original effects.

I saw the original trilogy during the 20th anniversary re-release (when I was 10), and I was smitten.  I saw the prequels as a child and knew they were terrible even then.

My wife hates Bradd Pitt (for some reason), but loves Gwyneth Paltrow (for some reason). She also doesn't have the patience for slow-burning suspense movies. So I was incredible suprised when she actually agreed to watch Se7ev, a movie the knew literally nothing about. She fussed and complained for the first half of the movie. When my favorite actor showed up two thirds of the way through, she rolled her eyes, but K-Space worked his magic and she was intently silent for the rest of the movie, up until the climax. When Brad Pitt got to third base she was absolutely devastated. Sobbing. It was fantastic. I don't get to pick movies anymore.

It backfired when he was handed the script to Babel and found himself unable to learn his lines. He then learned braille within a two month period and he has been receiving scripts in braille ever since.

Attack the Block: I don't remember the character's name but one of the kids costumed to pay homage to Boba Fett. He wears a helmet for most of the movie and keeps fireworks in his backpack sticking out like Fett's jetpack. I didn't catch it until a friend pointed it out. He also dies like Jango (decapitation), but I think that's coincidental.

Re-watching Predator, and goddamn this movie is so much better than it ever should have been. We all know Aliens is a Viet Nam flick, but Predator is the Apocalypse Now of sci-fi Nam flicks. The first act introduces a squad of Rambo-style mercenaries, each chewing enough scenery, cracking enough one-liners and mowing down enough Russians to justify their own Viet Nam revisionist 80's action movie. Second act kicks off. The overconfident, highly equipped American badasses are fresh from their victory against the bad guys' army -- that we never did find out exactly why they're the bad guys, except for some vague mention that they're communists, an American helicopter was shot down and the CIA wanted them gone. Even the hoorah patriotic soldiers begin questioning why they were sent. They are then picked off one by one by an unseen, faceless foe they can't understand and is literally only described as "The Jungle." Even with all the guns and biceps in the world, the Third act, a lone Schwarzenegger goes full Col Kurtz, regresses to a base tribal warrior and uses the Predator's own tactics against it. Contrast the famous scene of the squad mowing down the jungle against the Predator wildly firing into the trees after Schwarzenegger covers himself in mud and ambushes it with spears. Finally, he finally comes face to face with the enemy he finally sees and asks "What the hell are you?" The Predator doesn't give him any answers whatsoever, but simply repeats the question back because at this point, Schwarzenegger has become that character and is now hunting the alien. God I loving love Predator. Wild T has a new favorite as of 16:55 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Starship Troopers is also an incredible parody of the War on Terror that somehow came out four years before 9/11. It lines up almost perfectly with the jingoism in the US.

Well actually, the book was sincere, the movie was a parody. In the case of the movie though, what I said applies.
