Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Yep, that's why Episode 7 is on track to rake in $1b just in the US alone, with people going to see it multiple times. Oh, and it looks like it's going to destroy the attendance record of Crocodile Dundee here, which was the most attended film in Australia. It'd be like if the Beatles were suddenly resurrected and said 'Let's put out some new albums'.

If you don't like it, cool. You're part of the 5% who don't.

But there's more people now than when crocodile Dundee was out mate

You can't deny that this movie is popular because it's star wars. If it wasn't, it would just be another run of the mill big budget Sci-Fi. It's really not as if it's anything close to a masterpiece.

What was the last movie Hollywood movie that was a masterpiece?

 

[charcolechaddy]

Spacebong, Hydromedusa, Crypt, Mammoth if you want some dirty punk, doom/blues, crusty stuff.
Truth Corroded, Alkira, Couldran Black Ram if you want some Metal.
The Grenadeirs are pretty cool with the three piece punk thing. The Mark Of Cain are the seminal post punk/hard rock band from Adelaide & have been around for ever. Some of these will be on spotify/iTunes but you may need to go on bandcamp or YouTube for the others.
These are some of what I'm exposed to, being into punk & metal. Happy listening.

loving the bennies at themment

Define "Hollywood".

 

[charcolechaddy]

did anyone get the vibe that star wars was the first one re made with a slightly different twist and actors?

 

[Dylan8]

Lol I saw it the day after release.

ah yeah

We were talking about it. I forgot.

On it's merits people would still go see it because it's just a fun movie. And the critics disagree with you.

That's like saying "It's expensive because it's a Faberge egg".

It's true, but it misses the point.

 

[I Dont Care]

I've been tempted, but i'll just wait till it hits bargain basement, not that desperate to play it.

I feel the same way

Yes, but what good is a Faberge if you have a hankering for egg and bacon?

Define "Hollywood".

Movie funded by one of the major studios I guess.

 

[chiwigi]

Why would saying it's shit be misogynistic? A poor remake is a poor remake.

You know what else is going to be shit? Batman vs Superman - and that has *shock horror* the two biggest male superheroes of all time in it.

Don't even go there!
The intro of wonder woman has caused much consternation.

Critics are affected the same way, so I doubt this has any infuence in arguing against my point. It gets a high rating because it's star wars. Seriously.

Don't get me wrong, good movie but not anything out of the box.

Cowboys vs. Aliens.

7.5/10 based on the feel who watches probably one movie a year scale.

See, I would say that it gets judged more harshly because it's Star Wars and everyone instantly compares it to those that have come before it. But believe me I get where you're coming from.

 

[Dylan8]

Thing is you can't look at it and say "this movie is only good because it's Star Wars" because you can't seperate the "not a masterpiece" and "Star Wars" parts. It's a pointless argument. It's all part of one package that makes it good or bad.

Fargo ends and Inspectator Montalbano starts with back to back nightly episodes. SBS continuing to deliver in the off season. I would swap places with Montalbano. Live right on the beach, balcony to have a coffee or a meal looks out at the ocean, always eating fresh seafood at Enzo's right on the beach, cracks the tough cases and the great looking women always crack onto him.
