Hello Paul
The 90s were a strange time to be alive.
ignoring Jew Jew's current products, I actually really enjoyed this
The Mission Impossible series have improved a lot since he came on as producer.
>>64221938
I really liked TFA despite what the contrarians say.
I also liked ROTS, despite what die hard prequel haters say.
Come at me.
>>64221957
Ghost Protocol is one of my favorite action films of the last few years.
>>64221938
Yes, I enjoyed Super 8 aswell. The kid that always wanted to blow shit up was awesome.
Huh, I never thought about it this way. Looks like you guys were right!

Hello 4chan
Not bad. Very accurate. Summed it up perfectly.

Really?
Can I offer a dissenting opinion on Star Wars?
There seems to be a profound need everywhere to admire Star Wars, and a resentment of any response other than loving affection. Star Wars, written and directed by George Lucas, is engaging, brilliantly designed, acted with real charm, full of verve and visual ingenuity. It's also totally unoriginal, feebly plotted, instantly forgettable and an acoustic nightmare - the electronic sound-wall wrapped around the audience is so over-amplified that every footfall sounds like Krakatoa.
In that case, why all the fuss? And what does the amazing success of Star Wars indicate, for good or ill, about the future of s-f cinema? Although slightly biased, I firmly believe that science fiction is the true literature of the twentieth century, and probably the last literary form to exist before the death of the written word and the domination of the visual image. S-f has been one of the few forms of modern fiction explicitly concerned with change - social, technological and environmental - and certainly the only fiction to invent society's myths, dreams and utopias. Why, then, has it translated so uneasily into the cinema? Unlike the western, which long ago took over the literary form and now exists in its own right, the s-f film has never really been more than an offshoot of its literary precursor, which to date has provided all the ideas, themes and inventiveness. S-f cinema has been notoriously prone to cycles of exploitation and neglect, unsatisfactory mergings with horror films, thrillers, environmental and disaster movies.
>>64221729
The most popular form of s-f - space fiction - has been the least successful of all cinematically, until 2001 and Star Wars, for the obvious reason that the special effects available were hopelessly inadequate. Surprisingly, s-f is one of the most literary forms of all fiction, and the best s-f films - Them!, Dr Cyclops, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Alphaville, Last Year in Marienbad (not a capricious choice, its themes are time, space and identity, s-f's triple pillars), Dr Strangelove, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Barbarella and Solaris - and the brave failures such as The Thing, Seconds and The Man who Fell to Earth - have all made use of comparatively modest special effects and relied on strongly imaginative ideas, and on ingenuity, wit and fantasy.
With Star Wars the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way, towards huge but empty spectacles where special effects - like the brilliantly designed space vehicles and their interiors in both Star Wars and 2001 - preside over derivative ideas and unoriginal plots, as in some massively financed stage musical where the sets and costumes are lavish but there are no tunes. I can't help feeling that in both these films the spectacular sets are the real subject matter, and that original and imaginative ideas - until now science fiction's chief claim to fame - are regarded by their makers as secondary, unimportant and even, possibly, distracting.
Star Wars in particular seems designed to appeal to that huge untapped audience of people who have never read or been particularly interested in s-f but have absorbed its superficial ideas - space ships, ray guns, blue corridors, the future as anything with a fin on it - from comic strips, TV shows like Star Trek and Thunderbirds, and the iconography of mass merchandising.

he visual ideas in Star Wars are ingenious and entertaining.Ironically it's only now that the technology of the cinema is sufficiently advanced to represent an advanced technology in decline. I liked the super-technologies already beginning to rust around the edges, the pirate starship like an old tramp steamer, the dented robots with IQs higher than Einstein's which resembled beat-up De Sotos in Athens or Havana with half a million miles on the clock. I liked the way large sections of the action were seen through computerized head-up displays which provided information about closing speeds and impact velocities that makes everyone in the audience feel like a Phantom Pilot on a Hanoi bombing run.
In passing, the reference to Vietnam isn't undeserved - the slaughter in Star Wars, quite apart from the destruction of an entire planet, is unrelieved for two hours, and at times stacks the corpses halfway up the screen. Losing track of this huge bodycount, I thought at first that the film might be some weird, unintentional parable of the US involvement with Vietnam, with the plucky hero from the backward planet and his scratch force of reject robots and gook-like extraterrestrials fighting bravely against the evil and all-destructive super-technology of the Galactic Empire.

Whatever the truth, it's strange that the film gets a U certificate - two hours of Star Wars must be one of the most efficient means of weaning your pre-teen child from any fear of, or sensitivity towards, the deaths of others.
All the same, as a technological pantomime Star Wars makes a certain amount of sense. There's the good fairy, Alec Guinness, with his laser-wand and a smooth line in morally uplifting chat; the pantomime dame/wicked witch, the Dark Lord Darth Vader, with black Nazi helmet, leather face-mask and computerized surgical truss; the principle boy, the apparently masculine robot R2D2 who in fact conceals a coded holographic image of Princess Leia, which he now and then projects like a Palladium **** Whittington flashing her thighs.
However, George Lucas has gone badly astray with his supporting cast - what looks like an attempted tour de force, the parade of extraterrestrials in the frontier-planet saloon, comes on hilariously like the Muppet Show, with shaggy monsters growling and rolling their eyeballs. I almost expected Kermit and Miss Piggy to swoop in and introduce Bruce Forsyth.
What is missing in all this is any hard imaginative core. Star Wars is the first totally unserious s-f film. Even a bad episode of Star Trek or Dr Who has the grain of an original idea, and the vast interplanetary and technological perspectives of 2001 were at least put to the service of a steadily expanding cosmic vision. The most one can hope, I think, is that the technical expertise now exists to make a really great s-f film. Star Wars, in this sense, is a huge test-card, a demonstration film of s-f movie possibilities.
Why is this aloud?

What went wrong?
there was a pic of like the writer and it said "me and the writers of dexter" and it was all chicks, this was during the last season i think.
i can't find it.

Should timothy olyphant be the best choice?
>meme cowboy wannabe to play Roland
No thanks
I think he would be perfect for the role
Only if Walton Goggins gets cast in it too
Just finished the Dollars trilogy, which one was your favorite one?
For me it was The Good, The Bad And The Ugly>For A Few Dollars More > A Fistful of Dollars.
I guess they all have their strengths and weaknesses though depending on what you care about most, this could be in any order I suppose. I liked the relationship between Tuco and Blondie the most, and the ending was the best one.
>inb4 some OUATITW fag
>>64221213
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly>For A Few Dollars More
Fistful is fucking trash and not anywhere near the same caliber
>>64221273
I thought Clint's character was at his best in that movie.
I fucking hated this shit. Zero emotion, the entire plot is LITERALLY filler. It was garbage.
In order to accentuate my point, imagine if Jurassic Park was filmed like The Martian was.
>instead of the characters reacting to being trapped with rampaging dinosaurs, they merely make small quirky jokes about it, not all too worried about it
>during the scene with the electric fence, the audience sees that if the boy doesn't get off the fence, he'll be electrocuted. However, the fence gets turned on while he's still on it, but nothing happens. This is not acknowledged for the rest of the film and is brushed off
>after surviving the literal nightmare that they all went through, they all just look back at it as a joke, with no emotional/moral/ideological changes occurring in any of them
>the whole movie, instead of acknowledging the intensely terrifying aspect of being trapped and killed by dinosaurs, they merely talked about how SCIENTIFIC ALL OF IT IS
>>64221168
You know it was based on a true story, right?
Why don't you take your reddit tier opinion back to reddit?

I think it's safe to say that it's only a matter of time until there's a bi or gay James Bond. He'll possibly also be black or latino sooner or later as well.
The new black Moneypenny is all for a gay James Bond: http://www.eonline.com/news/361425/daniel-craig-gay-james-bond-never-going-to-happen
Can we stop this forced diversity bullshit before we destroy every movie franchise?
>>64220691
Fuck off shitwad, it's time for a trans Bond.
>>64220691
He won't be black. Sjws can try as hard as they want, the fact remains British people call the shots for the production and bond is a white af name. Latino in the Spanish sense (like Oscar Isaac) is the closest you'll get
>>64220735
>expecting an audience to accept a degenerate with mental disorders
There are actually people who think this would work.
>>64220747
America makes all the movies now. None of them are based on books. It's all about money with little to no sophisticated plot. And even if it were somehow left up to anyone in Britain, they're so PC that they'd make him a Muslim.
