It's absolutely fucking hilarious how you're on this message board sticking out your chest about filmmaking. I'm sure Joe Kosinski has you on speed dial for when he makes his soundtrack decisions. No? Oh that's right, you're actually just a pretentious prick. Only a pretentious prick is going to watch Top Gun to listen to some songs...WTF? Seriously, who goes "Im going to watch Top Gun because... 80s music!" And then you're going to get all uppity about you filmmaking knowledge? Youre a fucking clown!!
Why are YOU on this page when you should be jerking it next to your Bon Jovi blow up doll, or at least go wax about on the TG page, not here. I can tell you're a crusty old fart just by the way you type HAHAHAHA
So I have to be a fan of 80s music to be on this board? Wtf is that dumb shit youre saying? LOL. Im here for the movie, you're the one bitching "dont bother unless" you dumdum! Hahahaha!
It's okay, you don't need to play dumb. Your favorite scene in cinematic history is the volleyball scene, you get so excited for that scene. It's ok to admit that. Mix in some Kenny Loggins and I'm sure you explode with excitement. There's no shame in it.
Just because you're stuck in the 80s doesn't mean the rest of the world has to be. And I have a good clue...about what you're actually doing during the volleyball scene....playing with your boys. HAHAHAHAHA
Cool bro, story
Cool story bro.
My point still stands. You literally said "Don't bother" because of your nostalgia over these songs (And by all accounts, they are indeed cheesy 80s songs). If you dig that stuff, more power to you. Stay home from this one and jam out to your TG cassette all you like. But to suggest that's a make or break is laughable.
"Many great"
They played the same Kenny Loggins song like three different times throughout the movie. And a rendition of Take My Breath Away 3-4 different times throughout.
I think TG soundtrack replicated itself enough already
If you're out because of some cheesy 80s era songs, be my guest. I for one am in it for some updated fighter jet actions scenes and the continuance of Mavericks story. The tech has updated, the jets have updated, warfare has updated, film shooting capabilities have updated... So will some of the music.
She wasn't making money off mortgages.
The stripper was basically saying how easy it was for her to buy property, and how she got them at such low rates and how the mortgage brokers or bankers or anybody really didn't question or discourage her buying properties. Then Mark tried to explain that her teaser rates are going to go up 200% eventually and she won't be able to refinance, as she was under the impression it was going to be easy to do so. Then she dropped the bomb to Mark that its just not one place she bought... it was several.
That was kind of the straw that broke the camels back in Mark's mind and convinced him that she (and many many other American's) were eventually going to go under.
To the judge, the only person who would openly scrutinize or criticize any details of the stubs would be Pitt himself...and he got the chance to examine them. We know that Pitt is the mastermind, but obviously the court does not. So from the court's point of view, the defense presents the witness, who presents the prosecution with the tickets. The prosecution examines the tickets and pretty much concedes. No need to enter into evidence if the prosecution has already just surrendered the details of the tickets. Furthermore, I've gathered that through King Benny and the network of friends on the inside, the tickets were indeed legit (correct date and event) and they managed to obtain them and hand them off to DeNiro.
Why do you find and hire a safe cracker expert.... When the supposed owner of the combination safe is the one who hired you???
Agreed, this movie treated the audience like idiots.
Simplified version:
Big Company Man: "We should do this thing that is ridiculously and obviously bad! How liberating!"
People in movie: "Yeah!! Let's do this ridiculously obvious bad thing!"
Herione: "Uh Oh, ridiculously obvious bad thing is bad."
People in movie: "Oh yeah, this is terrible!"
Big Company Man: "Oh, we're fucked."
Yeah, OK.
"Numbers don't lie"
...except for when you decide it doesn't matter?
...only applies to films within a franchise?
Your arbitrary box office rules are, well, arbitrary.
Box office is a measurement of money. People who bought a ticket. People who spent money based on hype, trailer, actors, etc. It is not a reliable measuring stick of quality, story, acting, or artistic merit.
You can easily make the same correlation that people didn't spend money on Covenant because Prometheus was such shitshow letdown.
Transformers is better than Shawshank because...numbers?
Geff, step back, take a breath, and realize you just wrote a college thesis based on a commenter's grammar on a movie discussion website. Either take the time to write a response to the actual subject at hand or go get your autism diagnosed.
