  2. Where is the London Has Fallen thread? It's not in the archives. Does such a thing exist?
  3. I think I'm gonna try and steer clear of trailers and promo stuff for this one. I want to go in knowing nothing at all.
  4. No, which is why she's so inquisitive about Caleb. She was designed using Bluebook's knowledge of how humans think, behave and process information - but she does not have access to Bluebook's servers. But why does the fact that she left him mean that she can't be empathetic? The knowledge of right and wrong isn't necessarily inbuilt to us. It's not something we know and feel from birth, and if you grow up outside of any society, raised by a psychopath, then you haven't experienced much empathy and don't know how to empathise. This is why I use the comparison of Ava to a child - a newborn baby does not have any moral sense of justice. If it does something awful, even if seemingly on purpose, they might not realise that they are doing evil. Yet that doesn't mean they will always be like that. I think empathy is learned. If you've never met anyone besides your parents/creator, then you aren't going to be as developed as others. So yes, Ava was doing wrong, yes she was not being "human" - but that doesn't mean she can't grow up. I feel that Ava is very curious, and in the final shot, I believe she was going to discover herself and learn from those who were missing from her life, fit into society. The film draws upon all these topics and questions, like whether empathy is learned or innate, whether we have to be emotional to be human, whether society and contact is what makes us human and without that we are robotic etc., and these are just a few among many, many ideas in the film. I love that you can take so much from it.

  7. Some people like to tell me that it's pointless seeing a drama or an indie film or w/e in a cinema, that cinema should just be for big loud explosions. They are so wrong.
  8. Oh, damn yeah I just remembered, The Hobbit. I saw Battle of the Five Armies three times. And saw Desolation of Smaug, and The Winter Soldier, twice thanks to them being part of a marathon.
  9. I just realised I have 26 blu rays that I've never watched
  10. I understand liking a movie so much that you want to watch it over and over. Only films I've seen twice in cinemas are Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (got a limited time voucher for free popcorn, I couldn't resist), Avatar (it's Avatar) and Home (forced into it). I saw Guardians of the Galaxy three times because it's FUN af. I've never wanted to watch a film over and over and over again in the cinemas, but I am definitely going to be doing that for Star Wars. I imagine it could get close to 20 showings. I'm gonna set aside a couple of days where I just watch it like 6 times straight throughout a cinema's opening times. e.g. 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, midnight.
  11. Phew, I was panicking for a second. I didn't put a Domestic OW gross since the question didn't ask for it.
  12. That's just bizarre, given that it's a big-budget action spectacle... I was thinking 260M but maybe a bit less now that I know it isn't being released in China.

  16. I may have many issues with sexism in movies... but someone enjoying anal sex is not one of them. In what context did he say that though? I don't know why any actor would be telling people about their sexual preferences.
  17. When you talk about the Friday drop, is it from last Friday including previews or not including previews?
  18. Whedon = Jackson? As soon as the film comes out he's hyping up the extended edition blu ray and everything awesome that's going to be on it.
