If I could, I would inflict physical pain on Ridley Scott for his disregard of historical facts.

It's no worse than his reverse D Day landing in Robin Hood. Or are you one of those guys who is furious about France being depicted as a racist backwater shithole?

I was speaking about all his 'historical' films. Kingdom of Heaven is not the most egregious example.

The book is really good and it takes about the same length of time to read as the movie does to watch...... Plus you don't have to sit through 30 minutes of sting mugging at the camera and punching walls to a new wave retro "cool" soundtrack

Hey dumbass, if the movie was made in the 80s it's not "new wave retro cool" music, it's just "cool".

I'd say alot of the details, especially as regards costumes, are really good. It gets a lot of the historical characters really wrong though. Especially Sibylla, and Reynaud de Châtillon and Guy de Lusignan being Templars is just weird (though atleast Reynaud is characterized pretty well).

I really want a kind of trashy series about Outremer court politics, that whole place was just scheming queen mothers and newly arrived Frankish playboys looking to inherit some titles with their dicks (seems a feature of the crusader states were people dying off like flies and not producing heirs, so the whole place was crawling with juicy widows).

You know it's a poo poo design when they are trying to use the "keep it in shadows so it's not so noticable" trick on the loving concept art.

Really the worst thing about the movie is Orlando Bloom. Now I just went on making fun of people getting hung up on historical facts, but if Bloom had been playing the actual Balian of Ibelin he would have been way more interesting, because that guy was dope as hell in reality.

You do know that that's actually Dan O'Bannon's original concept art, right? And Scott rejected it. I mean, sure, Ridley Scott sucks and blade Runner and Alien are great because of the other people who worked on them. But that specific instance you note is actually the opposite of what you're trying to say

I haven't seen it but I imagine one could put "...rear end in a top hat" with Darth Vader's witty lines to make it funnier

"If this is a consular ship, then where is the ambassador...rear end in a top hat."
"Apology accepted...rear end in a top hat."
"We would be honored if you would join us...rear end in a top hat."

The problem with that design is that it doesnt really evoke anything. The xenomorph is all slick and smooth and black and phallic. It had no eyes but still had a weirdly human-like face and mouth. It had this weird exoskeleton so it was kinda insect-like but also like an actual human skeleton too. Everything about it tapped into our psychology. But this thing in the picture is just some four-legged green thing with weird claw arms. Its weird looking and might be an okay alien in Mos Eisley Catina but it doesnt evoke anything scary or sexual or off-putting or anything like that.

Also, how were they planning on filming that? Its all well and good to draw a picture but how would it look on screen?

I rolled my eyes. It was nowhere near as cool as people seemed to think it was and by that point I just wanted the movie to be over.

The only character I enjoyed watching in that movie was Krennic, poor striving bastard.

If Rouge One kept the goofiness that is ~Star Wars~ then that Vader scene could have been ok. But it was surrounded by Ultra Hardcore Take Us Serious stuff so when when Vader shows up in his literal lava palace and makes a bad pun and force chokes that dude it's laffo as heck.
The movie has already been forgotten though so whatever.

The problem with Blade Runner is it's called Blade Runner, so you expect it to be this cool fast paced action movie featuring a guy like... running... and trying to escape some evil future space bad guy and kicking rear end with a space sword. instead it's Harrison Ford sitting around a lot and occasionally shooting people in the back and getting his rear end kicked. They should've called it Butt Sitter maybe.

Rogue One was so loving boring on absolutely every level that it boggles my mind when anyone says they enjoyed it.

The single interesting concept in the film, the Jedi temple, gets blown up before we get to see it.
