What the best Shakespeare movie adaptation?
>>64639322
the lion king
think about it. it is hamlet without the sex stuff.
>>64639322
Branagh's Much Ado is also really good. The Brando Julius Caesar is pretty great.
If anyone saw it in theatres a few months back, Cumberbatch was in a Hamlet production that was pretty clever.

Now that your "40 Unforgivable Plot Holes in The Force Awakens" have all been thoroughly debunked what will you say about it?
Will you now admit it was the best star wars?
>>64638584
No, because it's not. V will always be considered once of the best films ever made.

even assuming that the plot holes are inconsequential (they aren't), it's still a poorly made movie
pacing is terrible, dialogue is usually okay but sometimes dips into abysmal, action scenes are mind-numbing
THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL BETTER-THAN LIST
>In 2015 more movies were released than ever (an average of a dozen a week). And while many of them offended one’s sense of truth, beauty, and politics, mainstream media (both conservative and liberal) promoted them nonetheless — as if only newness mattered, and not quality.

I really liked the way JJ shot The Force Awakens.
Take Kylo Ren for example. The way he shoots him strutting down hallways. The angle is great and it really differs from the static way George shot his actors in the prequels. George literally just aimed a camera and said "action".
With JJ you get a sense that Kylo is this big presence of evil. The up close shots, the dutch angles during the Poe interrogation that signifies a power struggle, its all really good. Kylo feels magnetic, a person of real power and determination.

Is this a troll?
It's well made on a technical level. That makes it a well polished turd rather than just turd
How do you guys feel about this?
Too bad about the racelift, but nice that they're sticking with the crossdressing man as the character.
Will she play the part as a tranvestite male trying to pass as a woman?
Don't know what this is, don't care.
The First Order is Abrams' and Kasdan's vision of what white people are like when they aren't under the watchful eye of international Jewry.
And I'm not even meme-ing or bullshitting. Kasdan said in an interview that he and JJ asked themselves what it would be like if the Nazis had gone to Argentina and regrouped after WWII.
From birth, Jews are raised with this idea that homogeneous white societies will inevitably result in goose-stepping, ethnic cleansing, and warmongering. And I could understand that outlook if history had begun in 1930....

Mind you, jews make up just 2% of the US population yet control almost all of the media.

Actors you find impossible to like.
>>64637172
I will always respect Patrick Wilson because he got to fondle Kate Winslet's tits in that Little Children movie. She's not the best looking actress and certainly not the skinniest but there's something about her where I just know I would.

Did anyone else feel like JJ wanted a big reaction when Boyega takes his helmet for the first time?
Like
>Woah hes black? I never expected that
And not only that but it's the most congoid black actor they could find with a close up on his vaseline covered face every 10 seconds shouting quips.
What kind of reaction is he trying to spark?
Considering they showed his face in a bunch of trailers and promo material I'm gonna go with no.

Which one's better, Manhunter or Red Dragon?
>Michael Mann vs. Brett Ratner
That's a tough one
>>64636223
The cast of Red Dragon is more talented, but Brett Ratner is a garbage director. Mann's directing and cinematography puts Manhunter far above Red Dragon.
Red Dragon gets more hate than it deserves.
Manhunter is so 80's tho... i love it
Say what you like about grievous, but before his run in with windu, this guy was a god. His fighting style against jedi was to literally attack them so furiously they didnt have time to focus enough to use even basic force powers. He has 23 confirmed jedi kills to his name, but the actually number is thought to be in the hundreds. He took on 2 jedi masters and padewans at once and would have killed them all effortlessly if a load of clones in a gunship hadn't turned up.
People say the movies fucked up Anekin, but this guy is the prequels true victim.
