I'm giving this thread a good bump up it deserves.
Even though I slightly liked DC properties more than Marvel properties. The rivalry can become ridiculously over the top a lot from both fans. There seems to be a bit of pros and cons to both sides in their achievements. For instance imo, DC excels more in animation, Marvel more in movies at the moment, and both mostly did fine in live action TV shows.
Yeah, I feel another director is probably best suited to helm this universe more properly. I only ever like 300 (and to certain extent, Watchmen and MoS) of the Snyder action movies. But a lot of them just ended up with polarizing results. WB should've saw this one coming based on Snyder's track record and the unanimous reactions that came from MoS.
Despite some uneven and questionable moments, this movie was kind of alright and fun for me in the end. I liked Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman the best in the movie. Still cautiously optimistic to see their standalone movies and Wonder Woman 2.
Yeah, no kidding..
Most of the Star Wars prequels
TMNT 3
Allegiant (Divergent Series)
Spider-Man 3
Grease 2
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men: The Last Stand
Shrek the 3rd (and maybe Shrek 4 too)
Cars 2
I caught Assassin's Creed on HBO the other day. Never played the games, but I found it somewhat mediocre at best.
It's a shame. I get that trolls and flame wars are part of the reasons for their decision. Still.
At least IGN still have their forums. Buzzfeed just have a comment section per every article (or 'article').
But Pets is in the past. I don't know why you kept bring that movie up now like it's still relevant.
Shouldn't you be more disheartened with the performance of Justice League though? That one didn't exactly stand a strong chance against Thor: Ragnarok like you thought it would. Let alone against Coco. Even Wonder didn't break much of a sweat when that broke even. Yeeeeah... WB, their Snyder reliance, and their overblown budget on reshoots... what can you do? It's all really up to international numbers to possibly save JL now, in a most ironical sense yet.
Ferdinand and Jumanji will have another Disney beast to battle like all the other December releases...[spoiler]STAR WARS[/spoiler].
Since about the end of the prequel trilogy perhaps?
Yep! By December 8. It's also have already been true for a while in Mexico. But would this also really be taking place elsewhere too?
I liked The Book of Life. But Coco seems almost entirely different from its premise asides the singing, guitar playing, the music ban, Mexican culture, and the Día de Muertos setting.
Though Día de los Muertos movies in the US aren't really as common as you may think, let alone as commercialized. This is also why the Mexican community initially refused to let Disney/Pixar trademark the title of the movie as such.
Good God! You're still alive?!
Seriously....Quit giving Disney fans, DC fans, and box office buffs a bad name in the boards already!
Ah, yes. That's also true.
Just a lot of Golden Age films, some past award contenders, and some foreign features in general. I don't always have the free time to watch the movies that even piqued my interest.
Of your list I did however saw 12 Angry Men, Scarface, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, District 9, My Week with Marilyn, and Django Unchained.
Both, from what I understood at the moment. I rarely touched the site since the boards closed down in February. Trying to plug in more social media and whatever 'live shows' they want to sponsor or monetize.
real lift
The "stranger danger" phenomenon actually has its roots in the 80s, supposedly since when individuals like Adam Wash got kidnapped and murdered. That brought nationwide attention and led to all sorts of PSAs that even became embedded into children's entertainment until around the late-90s. Up until around the early 80s, kids really do seem to roam a lot freely and child safety concerns didn't become much of a huge cautionary tale like how it notably did for today. On a somewhat related note, the UK also has this phenomenon started for them in the 60s too.
I also remember hearing about how "controversy" the earliest seasons of Sesame Street are from the 70s, when DVD releases were made exclusively for the nostalgic fans, partially for that reason. For example, the pilot episode in 1969 literally had a little girl in the neighborhood walking home from school with a teacher she just met. Something that obviously wouldn't fly as being socially acceptable today in the age of stranger danger. It's really amazing how even earlier seasons of Sesame Streets may reflect something about the changing times and attitudes of our society.
Fair answer from both paragraphs.
I say the 80s and the 90s seem like the best time to be a kid/teen. Even the early 00s to some extent too. The decades that actually celebrates youth the most. Somewhat a biased answer coming from me since I am a kid and teen of the 90s and 00s. I supposed the 50s, 60s and maybe 70s were a little simpler too.
Same. I thought this movie was worth the watch in the end and I'm already familiar with the original story. Haven't seen the other adaptations though. Maybe I'll find the time to seek those out another time?
