It's certainly been discussed a lot in the WW comic fandom in the past, and Greg Rucka (the current writer) has confirmed it.
Why do you hate Sansa more than Ramsay, Joffrey, Cersei, and the White Walkers?
LOL, I know what you mean. (Then I lived there and, ugh...the food was fine for a month, but after years...ugh.)
By "one of the worst comic book movies ever made," where would you rank it relative to Affleck's Daredevil, R.I.P.D., Jonah Hex, Howard the Duck, Barb Wire, any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theatrical movie, The Phantom, the 1990 Captain America, Ghost Rider, and the most recent Fantastic Four? I know this is often a matter of personal taste, but all of those seemed much worse to me.
I know this may seem like splitting hairs, but as there are people in this forum saying they're enjoying Bill's character and were not fond of Clara, then...then it doesn't track that nobody feels that way. It may old true for lots of people, but to say nobody feels that way is an inaccurate overgeneralization. It can be what you feel, and certainly what you feel others should think, but it isn't true for everyone. It's ok.
"...from the Amazon." As in the Amazon River, the Amazonian river basin? South America?
As opposed to *being* an Amazon from the Mediterranean and Greece, which is just a hop-skip from Israel?
I haven't gotten any warning messages, but thank you for letting me know. I admit, I don't tend to really engage in active debate, but if it happens, I'll have some background at least. Thank you.
I like that idea--I enjoyed the movie overall, but I would have enjoyed a twist as well. Not every movie needs a big twist/reveal, but spy movies are very well suited for that kind of thing.
"Oh, a baby!!!" LOL. It was a nice, light touch. And it touched me to that Steve sacrificed himself.
I don't mean that it was necessarily Oscar worthy, but I thought it had a kind of Greek tragedy quality to it as everything kept getting more and more complicated, spiraling downhill. That can lead to some over the top moments, but overall I enjoyed it, and not just for the scenery.
I admit that I can have a low bar when it comes to sci-fi because I'm just grateful to see a genre I love up on the big screen. With that in mind, I don't remember a ton about T3 except for the psychiatrist's cameo...and the ending. I really remember the ending, and thinking that it was both smart and sobering.
Interesting question -- maybe it was protective instinct (although unnecessary) or perhaps she didn't truly know the extent of Diana's divine nature?
Me, too, although we watched it as it aired, so we didn't get the binge effect so much. It was a ragingly cool and original show with vivid characters.
One thing to bear in mind is that when a certain film performs well, that money isn't entirely poured back into its own sequel. The studio overall benefits, and that can roll on to other projects, including ones that could be regarded as more experimental, art house, and serious. Studios like winning awards also, but something has to pay the bills. :-)
I enjoyed the film a lot, and it stayed with me much more than I expected. I think it was (spoilers) the scene at the end as Black Phillip revealed himself that really got me the most. When he asked if she would like a pretty dress and the taste of butter, it hit me very hard how if a person is deprived of what may seem like simple luxuries, it can lead them to feel deprived; and that deprivation can lead them to make choices that ultimately lead to a much bigger problem. I know, that's presuming that signing your name in Satan's book is a big problem, but let's say that it is. :-)
It's also interesting to think about how the family was weaker and more vulnerable to the systematic attack. They were isolated because of the father's pride and insistence on his interpretation of their beliefs. As a result, they had fewer resources, had to struggle to make ends meet, and the son didn't have a healthy way to grow into his sexuality. It's been a while since I watched, but I believe he was stealing glances at his sister, and even the mother was suspicious. It's easy to fall victim to suspicion and guilt when you're isolated and under stress.
And, y'know, your goat is really Satan in disguise, lol.
Setting legality aside, yes -- this, exactly.
Thank you for your replies. Ironically, I somehow "ignored" someone in the mix (possibly by accident) because I can't see the replies. I can on my phone though! Sigh. Hoisted by my own petard.
I'm glad you brought this up because I have a question about the ignore function. I've done it with a few users who seemed to be posting in a trolling way (nothing I wanted to read in any event). But when I put them on ignore, it did more than remove their posts -- it seemed to remove an entire subsection of a thread (anything following the original post) if they were participating within it.
I may not be describing that accurately, but now I'll go to a post which is, for example, about a current scii-fi film, and it only shows the original post, although it says there are 12 or more replies. I have trouble imagining I'd ignored every single other person who replied to the post.
Is there a different way I should be utilizing Ignore or is this just kinda how it is for now? (Thank you.)
It's based on a book, so possibly some people have info that comes from reading the source material.
As much as I've enjoyed Ridley's movies overall in the past, I don't think Prometheus and Covenant are among his better work at all. I believe I've read that the NB project is pretty dead in the water, but you never know. I'll probably always check out something Ridley's done, but he's not winning me over at the moment with a storyline (visuals are very appealing though to me).
