I hope it bombs regardless because I don`t want KK to be in a hit. She cna win Oscar if she wants cause that would be 2 Star Wars actresses winning Best Actress vs only one LOTR who won only BSA.
-
Youtube link? I`m not going over to Paralel Universe to suffer all the Jaw gushing.
-
As stilted as KK`s acting. Look like a parody.
-
I used to obsess about it and than I stop liking it. I was bored. No clue what happened. Wrong crowd I saw it with the last time?

You are world`s greatest wonder!
-
The existance of this thread is the world`s 8th wonder but trailer tops it as 9th.

Katniss power will not be stolen by a caricature or anyone else for the matter. There.

Brave looks generic but there wouldn`t be hype if the main character wasn`t a girl. Which is why it`s getting meh reviews. They thought that having a girl in a movie was enough while forgetting to write an interesting story.
-
Awesome! I don`t want Brave to outgross THG. If THG couldn`t set OS boxoffice on fire, so shouldn`t TB. Katniss is the archer of the decade not Merida.
-
true but my point is that they deliberately made all suitors look like ugly morons which delutes the message.
-
-
But both is the problem because their incompetence, uglines and stupidity are so visible they take away from the main reason and deliberately so. As if someone thought that girls wouldn`t buy into the character if she didn`t fall in love with a handsome suitor. Anyway you slice it, they had an idea but didn`t dare go all the way.
-
And her dream is to shoot arrows into the sunset and let her hair fly in the wind. OK. Now, get this stupid part. Merida wants to win her own hand at the archery tournament. Fine and dandy. But! Why her suitors are all idiots? Why not give her some competition that is handsome and comptenet in the art of archery without pursuing romance? Let her win because she isn`t interested in being married in general cause she doesn`t see any appeal in her mother`s and other married women`s life, instead of making it look like it`s because all potential hubbies are morons.
-
The difference between Katniss and Merida is that Katniss doesn`t think archery makes her a cut above everyone else while Merida does in fact point that out as why she is superior to her mother and other women. With Katniss, it`s organic, something she needs, not something that is a bragging asset.

Eh, Disney brand will never make a movie about modern women, ever. Doesn`t matter if they call themselves Pixar or Disney ot Touchstone or whatever. Understand that. Take POTC for example. They were bragging about Elizabeth being a modern girl stuck in 18th century but all her "moderness" was really about marrying a guy she picks. She spent 3 fuckin movies chasing after him and her only ambition was to be married. How fuckin not modern. Yeah, she even abandoned career and friends to faithfully wait for him for decades in recluse raising their son. All that for a deadbeat dad. Absolute nadir of traditional woman-in-the-kitchen sterotype packaged in warrior princess gift wrap. Bottom line is that wielding a weapon does not a modern women make nor it speaks about woman`s empowerment. However, Hollywood found this as a sly way of imposing regressive shit by diverting attention to "look, girl is having fun like Rambo" so that the same old conservative crap being served is overlooked.

Celebrity jokes (Epic movie type of movies milked those dry)Fart,burp,shit jokes - not funnyDwarf tossing jokes - never been funny never will beRum jokes - overstayed their welcome in the second POTC movie

In the movie, triplet bros totally stole the thunder.

At least Buffy`s pwoers are explained. in every generation one is born. That`s better than propehcy that No-Man will defeat the Witch King by shieking into his face.
-
Or perhaps a movie really doesn`t appel to their tastes? I doubt it that someone would trahs a movie he/she really likes just because few others did. More likely, they didn`t like it to begin with and other negative reviews consinced them that a movie doesn`t deserve even a half-hearted pass.
-
That` just a small part of what the movie is. Big chunk is about mother-daughter bonding. But they advertised it as chick besting men flick. Classic bait and switch.
-
Gangs of New York. Always catch it on cable. Fun flick. Didn`t like it at the cinema but definitely grew on me on TV.
-
I got that vibe too and I hate it because it makes her such a Mary Sue. Oh, look, even emotionless android falls in love with her! :rolleyes: Except we don`t know why for she`s so fuckin stupid.

Characters in movies who you wished did not die (Put spoiler tags!)
fishstick replied to Impact's topic in The Speakeasy
Lucian and Viktor in UW. Former was super cool and actually the coolest character and far sexier that that boring piece of shit Michael, and the latter is the best villain of the series. Yeha, yeah, I know, No Sourfaced Beckinsale Ass in PVC = No UW but fuck that boring shit. No wonder Sheen`s career is in better place now, he was fantastic in those movies. Lucian and Viktor should have lived and sequels would have been better for it. BTW, RotL >>>>>>>>> Selene-led UW. Great sizzling romance (unlike chemistry-free Selene and Michael), emotional story, badass as hell leading man. If you get past unpolished script and cheap SFX, it`s the most compelling of the 4. -
Cameronesque exploration of cool chicks lead to 4 marriages dissolved for adultery.
