In the book there were three wardens. They combined them in the movie into one warden, which worked well in cinema.
I agree - this felt like a Disney movie from yesteryear. Back then I prejudged every Disney movie as good, and I was rarely let down. I remember the days when I looked forward to every Disney/Pixar movie. Those days are long gone. Now I seem to prejudge every Disney movie as potential propaganda instead of entertainment, right or wrong.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Wild Robot.
Fair share. Sigh. They could tax them at 100% and it would only run the government for two months. And then they'd all be gone after that.
I'd love to know what she bought and when she bought it. Was she giving lip service when she supported mandatory buyback? Or did she have a come to Jesus moment in the last few years and now she supports gun ownership?
The note was clearly the "if you're reading this I must be dead" note. He was too fragile to attempt a note asking for help. And pulling it out as he died seemed to imply it was his last communication.
Yeah, the last couple scene wasn't great. I didn't like how the knife salesman handled it. He didn't need to jump out and confront them. I thought he should have waited to see if they leave, or see if there was an opportunity for himself to sneak off (like if they found the phone in the motel).
I agree. It's one thing if the entire movie is Twin Peaks / Mulholland Drive. But it wasn't. The first 95% of the movie was pretty standard plot line stuff. The entire style changed at the end with Giganta showing up. I'm suddenly trying to place symbolism and... ahem... giant metaphors. Very odd.
But aside from that I liked it. It wasn't overly woke. Usually lesbian heroes seem to be Mary Sues who can do no wrong. I liked the steroid angle and the effect it had on the relationship.
I liked the epic fail on assuming the exploding car would burn out overnight. But this movie didn't really pick a lane and stay in it. It went Lord of the Rings meets Pulp Fiction meets Marvel at the end.
You have to think of it as entirely software. And this software has been hacked. The agents are the anti-virus software. It seems simple to me.
Ishido ends up captured and buried up to his head. He lasts three days before dying. Yeah, I wish they would have not yada yada'd past that. He was the villain the whole ten episodes.
How did this guy not go to jail?! Did he not defraud any of those minors (not that all the kids were minors...) with the loans he had them take out just to pay his program?
My theory: whatever you experienced first is better. I liked every book I read better than the movie until I read Bourne Identity. What a slog of a book! The movie was way shorter. But my brother told me I was crazy. He read the book before seeing the movie.
Same with songs. Van Halen's You Really Got Me - I heard that first and fell in love with it. Then I heard the Kinks original. I thought it was lame.
+1 - The Shining is the only one I agree with, just because the movie is so much scarier. The book is a better plotline arguably. The Dead Zone, Mist, and Stand By Me weren't even close as far as the detail goes in my opinion. And Misery... SO toned down. Breaking his legs with a hammer? Please. In the book she sawed them off and cauterized them with a torch. Annie was a savage in the book. And what she did to the cop...
And The Running Man - it was more like Harrison Ford's The Fugitive than the Arnie Swarzenegger clown show. That has to be the all time worst King adaption. Absolutely nothing like the book. Lawnmower Man is right on its heels.
Did you happen to catch the dialogue with the priest? It was the one where he confessed to having homosexual thoughts. Don't worry, it seems the whole internet missed that part too.
I think it was pretty clear through his confession to the priest that he was having sexual urges towards Padraic. This wasn't acceptable in the community, so he ghosted him in a most violent fashion.
Unfortunately you can't expel someone for being suspicious or potentially a future criminal. And very few, relatively, parents are available or prepared for home schooling. This problem is far more complex.
All you need is the giant number and the crypto is yours. That's why they're so guarded.
Nope. The first one was a Pocahontas ripoff. This one is more like... The Patriot or some other movie where the hero tries to be peaceful but ends up leading a war effort.
Agreed. The surprise factor was right up there with The Matrix for me. (Don't read that wrong please- this movie is not on par with The Matrix in my opinion, they just both supremely surprised me.)
I went with a work group for free, which was the only reason I attended. It was late after a long day, and I didn't really enjoy the first hour and even started to fall asleep. But after it turned into Water Mode, I was hooked. Very well executed. I liked it far better than the first Avatar.
I was getting werewolf signs early on. Shot of the full moon, murders without eating the bodies, and a wolf that didn't die from a regular bullet. And finally, a skinned body that didn't die.
By the end I still wasn't sure - it seemed the killer was leaving bodies out similar to the yuppies leaving out trash for the bears, thus giving an alpha wolf a taste for human flesh.
The father knew he would be faced with moving to the city if he didn't get rid of the threat - whatever that threat really was. This movie broke almost all of the rules by letting the dog die, silently letting the father die, and likely the daughter die. While I like easy enjoyment of cookie cutter Marvel films, I also like to be surprised.
I was hoping for some kind of twist where the wolf was protecting them from the killer. I'd like to hear the director's vision - I'm thinking we missed some of their points, and it wasn't our fault. They could have done a much better job putting this together. But I still enjoyed it largely.
I don’t know… the daughter’s consistency was there in my opinion. She froze up on her way through the forest when she became scared. Seeing her Mother attacked was beyond frightening. Not many can perform well under pressure. Martial artists who train for decades lose street fights when the pressure is not what they’re used to. What did Iron Mike say? Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth. Something like that.
The optimist in me wanted to see the girl give an Arnold line and blow the side of his head off with the shotgun from over the fireplace. But the realist in me reluctantly appreciated that the child was helpless in this situation.
Easy to miss - he was wearing a prosthetic face, wig, beard... But yes, a killer performance.
