He is too old. Period.
But the real star wars is LeeD vs Sureshs.
Darth Poobah vs LeeD BaselineWalker.
Thanks for recommendation. Will get it asap.
Not yet,took quite a while to find a decent stream of it. I have now so I'll see it tomorrow.
I know Poobs seems beyond any measurement of time but our ageless wonder claims he just secured his AARP card this past summer, making him a very young teen when the original was released.Aren't you too old for Star Wars?
really?
There are some images from films that just stay with you. I will always remember the little girl Manon's face full of tears near the end when she realizes everything that has happened
I am, too.I know that I'll watch whatever else the series produces. Prometheus had an intriguing idea, but the plot was such a disappointment. And it had bad science on top of that. Not that I expect Hollywood to do anything else, but some of the details were particularly annoying. Like the biologist arguing that Shaw and Holloway were discounting "three centuries of Darwinism" rather than framing his argument in the context of the considerably older material record. Although I can see why that distinction was probably very deliberately done, since the backstory that Ridley Scott had in mind would be impossible to reconcile with the fossil record and such. Still, the fact that his plot and overall narrative hinged on specialists botching their own specialities was irritating.
Thank you for the review of The Martian, btw. I had been wanting to see that one, so it's good to hear someone's perspective on what did and did not work.
Same here. The disinterestedness displayed at crucial moments bothered me the most, I think. They made me miss Hudson's meltdowns!
Yes,just like how I ignore the positive reviews for Hollywood blockbusters and don't watch them...Ignore them and give it a try
Just saw Manon des Sources, too. Enjoyed both the movies.
Well I don't know,I guess I was just surprised with the twists at the end since up until then it all unfolded very slowly and naturally. I did still enjoy the film though and it helped that the girl playing Manon was easy on the eyes. BTW,there was an earlier version of the film,directed by the writer of the original novel: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044883/?ref_=fn_al_ch_1a
Star Wars - The Force Awakens - 6/10
Too derivative from A New Hope, there wasn't anything original in the film. Seemed like JJ Abrams was scared to put anything new in the film so he just made a rehash of a New Hope with different characters and settings. But it's better than TPM and AOTC by a longshot, similar level to ROTS.I didn't like how the main protagonist was able to learn the force within a few minutes when she had no prior training whatsoever, she's too much of a know it all when she's supposed to be a newb. Finn shouldn't have been able to duel against Kylo at all, he's not even force sensitive.
Han's death wasn't portrayed well either, there was no buildup or the required drama for it. These are the major issues I had with the film but other than that, it was decent.
Edit - dunno why my post keeps splitting the paragraphs into two spoilers
Sisters ?? that is Girl movie. Star Wars could be the best movie ever made. that is what I heard.
Might not be for you then
I would guess that most people say the sequel is better though (The Road Warrior) Probably more action in the 2nd, but I love both of the first two films. The opening car chase to Mad Max is one of my favorites.
Anyone expect this one will win an AA?
what is AA ? Do you think Star Wars will Win the BEst movie ever in history of movies in Oscars ?
Has any SW won best picture?
No,the first one was the only one to be nominated for best picture as far as I know,and it was beaten by Woody Allen's Annie Hall
Guess the Force was with Alvy Singer.
is that about Europa, one of the moons on Jupiter ?
Yes, as you can see from the post you quoted, there was a Hologram on the planet Europa, and some Jewish person wrote an autobiography of how he escaped it. Needless to say, there is time travel and black holes involved and only someone like you will grok the movie.
