Mobile phones never working when you need them most...in fact mobile phones have become a real ball-ache for storytelling as they constantly need to be taken into account in scenarios since they've pervaded society so deeply.
IF they remake Heat you know it's going to be something like Regina King/Jennifer Lawrence.
I'd agree about Heat, it is a real "men" film, and yet it also takes the time to spend quite a bit of its runtime dealing with the women in these mens lives, and the impact their "work" has on the family unit. Now that's how you make a "men" film with broader appeal.
Road to Perdition (was expecting Goodfellas II for some reason!) It was 6 years before I watched it again, and it's now a fave of mine. Lovely cinematography.
Blade Runner (I was about 14 and just didn't get it)
Sums it up nicely, and can unfortunately be applied to so many franchises (or simple sequels for that matter).
Because their dominant raison d'etre (as with nearly all sequels) is to generate cash. Everything else, including artistic merit & integrity, comes secondary.
That's a real Sophie's Choice! Fallout 3 & 4, New Vegas (despite the damn bugs & crashes), Oblivion and Skyrim are the only games I've played in the last 10 years. Fallout 4 was disappointing but still play Skyrim, on a new modded run-through.
I would really put Fallout 3 and Skyrim on a pedestal though, the immersion factor (which is THE important factor for me) is just perfect, so much so that one can (almost!) ignore the ridiculous technicial faults.
Double bill of The Aristocats and Now You See Him, Now You Don't...must have been around '74.
Yes, she's real.
Mickey even suggests "throwing her into the mix".
2010-2019 without a doubt!
Never been such dull, uninspired, monotonous, derivative period (in my lifetime anyway). It's been like a decade of McDonalds production-line crap with VERY few fillet steaks to tuck in to.
I thought I was just falling out of love with films...but I'm now convinced it's not me, it's them.
