I saw a BLACK Morgan Freeman playing a traditionally WHITE GERMAN Herr Drosselmeyer, and thought "Screw this! I'm not watching another politically correct film that shoehorns black people into roles they were never meant to play! Screw them all!"
It gets even better! (Note the sarcasm). The story is terrible! It's one big fat, empty cliche with very little in the way of ballet dancing, no romance, a villain you could see a mile away, and a story lesson people have heard way too many times to really get anything out of it. The only thing going for this empty shell of a film is the costumes, and even those aren't as spectacular as some fantasy movies I've seen. The star is pretty, but very forgettable.
Thanks, but no thanks.
We call it an entry room or entry hall. Vestibule sounds like a room you'd find in an ancient Medieval church.
I still thought it was funny how the police in Chicago nicknamed her "Hyper" when doing the useless transfer back and forth thing.
I was aware, but anything after "Home Alone 2" was dog crap. I know, because I made the mistake of watching the 3rd one and wished I hadn't. It's safe to assume that any that come after that dumpster fire will be equally as bad and forgettable.
I see the best part of you ran down your mother's leg. See ya.
Okay, I see what you mean. My family's never been into watching mainstream tv, so we didn't know about stuff like that.
We don't baptize babies, but we do baptize children that are old enough to understand the meaning behind it. Unlike Catholics, we Protestants don't believe being immersed in water or having it sprinkled on your head is a prerequisite to going to heaven. We also don't believe in Purgatory. All it is, is a public declaration of your faith in God and the sacrifice His son Jesus Christ made to save us.
The most we do for babies is bless them (in the Lutheran church they do a blessing ceremony and draw a cross in oil on the baby's forehead), and hold Baby Dedications several times a year, and you can include toddlers and older children for that sort of thing. It's pretty much a public vow or promise by the parents to raise their children to know God.
What if you're poor?
No, a wet Canis Familiaris smells like a wet dog, not a Homo Sapien of Nordic ancestry with little melanin in their skin. Try to get your species straight.
Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
Christian, but just for clarification purposes, my family and I are non-denominational Protestants :). We currently attend a Community church.
We have been known to adopt Baptist or Lutheran churches, depending on where we live (we've moved a lot). We're actually comfortable with Baptist churches (after living in the South for a few years), because the only difference between them and community/Bible churches is that they baptize someone every Sunday service, instead of every 6 months like a community church would.
What if their signal light is broken? They can't help it then.
People who mistake me for a "he" online, despite my very feminine usernames.
Like humans. Next stupid question?
I had more issues with her clothes. She looked like she was dressing like a 1950s granny with pants. Couldn't stand those blouses and cardigans, save for her holiday outfit in the last part of the movie. And that hat she wore outdoors wasn't all that great either.
I can't say much for the supermarket uniform because it was the 80s, and a lot of uniforms people wore for various jobs looked really crappy, depending on what business it was. Heck, we have some uniforms today in the 2010s that look really dorky.
I'm a SHE, stupid!
I actually didn't know about the Google Assistant commercial. I don't trust devices like Alexa or the others. They reek of Big Brother.
The robbing thing I can definitely agree with. Just because it's the 2010s does not mean cat burglars have quit trying to rob houses, particularly the houses of rich people.
I haven't put any stock into Rotten Tomatoes' ratings since they blocked all negative comments about "The Black Panther." You can't trust a site that can't take even a little criticism for any films or tv shows.
It's bait, don't take it, people.
I call it "Loserfield." It definitely goes under the "lame horror flick with the barfy camera" umbrella that the Blair Witch Project films go under. Maybe we could include "Three Kings" while we're at it. I can't actually watch films like this, not just for the violence and bad story-telling, but because of motion-sickness issues.
There is a reason why, when disaster or monster films are made the traditional way, you see parts of the story from multiple perspectives. One thing viewers don't realize is, often various people involved in the story are not actually seeing everything, and civilians on the ground and caught in the crossfire, are often left as confused and scared as the guy carrying the camera in the film mentioned above. We look at multiple perspectives in films like the '97 "Godzilla," or "Independence Day," so we as the audience know everything that's going on. The film above was severely lacking in that area, in addition to forcing the audience to piece together what was happening, which is not much fun for most people when you're given so little to go on beyond flashes of images from a panicked guy carrying a camera around.
