ecstasy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's perfectly directed. And Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ those visuals. That's what I meant. The change of scenes was going through a doorway. And that train! Not something you see in film. Very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 You don't have time to watch one movie? Well, I watched Maleficent today. Tomorrow I need to focus on studying and projects. Monday I have classes and E3 starts (btw, never saw you on PSN again, did you stopped playing?) and I want to see the conferences of the big 4. Tuesday I need to end this thing I am working on right now, plus more E3. Maybe on the weekend I will have some free time to see SMB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 That's what I meant. The change of scenes was going through a doorway. And that train! Not something you see in film. Very unique. It's just beautiful. Tons of neat little things going on throughout, like how some of the scenes almost looked like dance numbers. Looks great on Blu-Ray, btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Speaking of books that make you cry, did you guys hear about Pearls Before Swine?If you haven't heard the news, start back with the strip for June 2, and then read forward through the week:http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2014/06/02Trust me, it's worth it.Yup, I read Pastis's blog yesterday. The second strip makes the revelation kind of obvious, but then again I own the entire C&H collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well, that was Rambo. Nasty, exploitative shlock with a bunch of people getting their heads blown up. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I wonder if Oblivion's blehness hurt EoT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Surprised she didn't get an Oscar for that movie. But I guess some other actress was better in some other movie at the time. I was not there for Keira playing the lead role when it was announced. But I have to say she brought the goods. I thought everyone did a great job with the exception of ATJ. He was totally miscast imo. He seemed so lightweight compared to others who played the role before him like Sean Bean and kevin McKidd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Rambo was passing last Friday on University's TV at the Students Association. Watching a part of it made hair grow in my chest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthie Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 In terms of emotional resonance, I think the scene with the 2 Xaviers beats this one. Anyone over 40 knows what it's like to have that heart to hear with yourself, and those under 40 got a sobering preview of what that conversation is like. Still, Cap2 >>>>>>>>>>>DOFP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingo Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, she was good but that movie put me to sleep. Didn't like Matthew McFayden. I thought he was great in the movie. Usually these types of movies are not my thing. But Pride and Prejudice was definitely something. I read the book but that bored me. The movie was better.

Fancyarcher Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I wonder if Oblivion's blehness hurt EoT. Oblivion was kinda cool, although I thought the interesting concept wasn't all that well thought out. Edited June 7, 2014 by Fancyarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 anna karenina pretty but a bore. it's hard to get what's great about the novel down in one movie though. i appreciated the effort. The mini-series did a great job with Kevin McKidd as Bronsky. Yeah, she was good but that movie put me to sleep. Didn't like Matthew McFayden. Haha Don't know why he looked like a farmer instead of the landed gentry as he should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Haha Don't know why he looked like a farmer instead of the landed gentry as he should have. He just didn't have the charisma the role required. I never got what was so damn special about Mr. Darcy. Matthew MacFayden was very good in AK, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Oblivion was incredibly pretty, but had way too many derivative elements. I still liked it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. I teared up at both but the 2 Xaviers was mind blowing. Cap2 most emotional scene was Peggy in the nursing home. That got me every time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
