For GA, it is too cerebral. For Trekkies it is Monster Truck Night.

 

I dunno, I think you're selling the GA fairly short here. What exactly is more cerebral than, say, IM3 or FF6 or any number of other recent blockbusters?

[kitik]

Grr.

 

sorry, for some reason, I just can't resist

 

I'm not sure why...

[Lordmandeep]

Local theater has 8 showings for ST tonight and 10 for IM3 ..

 

Strange 

 

Its 13 vs 16 on Sat as well...

Top movies ever:

 

1. Said it already.

2. A true story where EVERYONE knows the ending.

3. Aliens vs. Gods Vs. Superheros

4. A crazed clown face man tries to kill a man that dresses like a bat.

*Going down*

9. A kids movie about a creepy alien that could kill them if they don't watch out (Okay that it the plot to the sequel)

Okay here:

There is a movie about a man who falls in love with a alien and turns into one.Its called Avatar. On paper that plot sounds like it flop

 

Yea, but a GA associates ship/vessel with Authority.

ST is scifi. And to GA, Scifi alien is evil. ST feels too liberal

for some folks

The 2 movies share more than just that:

 

 

ALL SORTS OF SPOILERS

 

 

 

Hey zack, what do you say to editing the spoilers out of your post there?

[Impact]

Considering that sci-fis are usually not that mainstream it is a good number.

Shrek 2?

2010s is like the 2000s so far: The decade of-superhero films, remakes and sequels

 

the 90s-action film

80s-adventure films

70s-disaster films (and some really odd and messed up and bad films)

60s-Sci-Fi's though that is also the 50s to a point, comedies were quite big then but they always have been. As well as musicals

50s-Sci fis and westerns I will say

40s-Film noir/crime

30s-horror and monster films were big.

20s-Silent films

Hey zack, what do you say to editing the spoilers out of your post there?

 

 It's okay, I took care of it.

Shrek 2?

ET :PWhich if you think about it I can see why it did well. That point there were not a lot of kids films and when they were they were one of 2 things:Really creepy and not for kids (Something wicked this way comes)

Or really cheesey (Gus-a film about a donkey playing football which was a major hit apparently due to the lack of kid films)

Let's face it, we're stuck with remakes and sequels for at least another 20 years.

Yeah they always been around-but now there are more and more....

BRING ON THE ARTIST 2!!!!!

Yea, but the Blue Aliens are not smart enough to command  a ship.

GA has fear of aliens sharing power with humans. 

That's why SW will always be the more popular. It is simple division

of types. Even the Good Alien which is getting a token appearance is never

the one who saves the day alongside the hero #1. Maybe SW7 will change that.

 

AVATAR is different. You get to see the human hero saves the alien race but

not the other way around. We, humans, get to pat ourselves in the back for

saving a backward alien race. In ST, an alien stand tall alongside the human,

equal in intellect. There are black, Oriental, Russian sharing command over the ship. Trek is

a liberal fantasy.

It's okay, I took care of it.

So I definitely lost our bet right?

 You're not suggesting that somehow those people aren't capable of command, I hope?

[Godzilla]

Not until I get my next round of Big Momma love.

it's all about franchises these days

 

sequels guarantee money, and recognizable titles sell tickets

[Dementeleus]

So I definitely lost our bet right?

 

Looking pretty likely...
