I hate to say it, but I mean that objectively.
I clicked on the actors and the guy who plays Paul literally made me recoil. He looks inbred and retarded. His head looks "bent" and swollen as if he didn't develop correctly. I literally mean that was my reaction.
And, he looks "sleepy" and low energy.
The girl from Spiderman looks like an Australian Aborigine. She is not remotely pretty. She has a wooden quality like someone wants her to be in movies and she doesn't get it. Kristen Stewart like presence.
I was in love with Sean Young for YEARS after seeing the original. She was like perfect looking.
Anyway, I would love for this to be a good movie but actors in adventure movies have to show the drama and tension of being in terrible situations. We have seen how bad this is with all the Stars offshoots.
I disagree.
Sherlock was good and that's because of him.
I haven't seen this but I always assume he will be witty.
This thread triggered me to watch the 1978 Superman last night.
It has a lot of value to me as it's the only movie my mom was ever excited to see. She never went to the movies, I love movies, and she really wanted to go. I will never forget being there with her.
Anyway, Christopher Reeve, he certain had a great face for Superman! Also, he had the pleasant quality too. It was crazy watching the guy.
Oh I agree that movies try to make him like Jesus, but they are wrong about what he is supposed to be.
You don't like or understand Superman if you don't mine the spying, etc.
It's not nitpicking. It has to do with a kind of plothole where a character does something out of character. But with Superman it was much worse than that.
It would be as if they wanted to show Superman as a "funny guy" and had him make a racist joke. He would never ever do that and if you don't know why, you don't understand the character.
I have been reading about Scientology since 1985.
There is nothing that bad in the doctrine.
Christianity says that you can't think bad thoughts about anyone and you certainly can't kill anyone. However, many countries created their own brand of Christianity and turned it into a war religion in the middle ages, etc. That's not Christianity but rather the invention of weirdos.
Scientology has has some situations where weirdos get weird and do weirdness. Also, one can quit and go move somewhere else. They don't launch death squads of have jhads.
Currently, we have two very active religions from the mideast that are hate groups and kill people. A couple years ago in Afghanistan there was a religious group living on a mountain. They believe that Satan is a good guy! They believe that he asked god to forgive him and he did. Now it's Satan's job to do good deeds on Earth. Muslims saw them as infidels. So, the went and killed all the men, raped all the women, then sold them as sex slaves. That was like three years ago I think.
Scientology is nothing.
Also, for whatever bizarro reason, the same people who go after Scientology do not go after these big mass murdering religions and I do not get it.
It would fail badly.
Most children can't act in these kind of roles because they have no life experience, they have never been horribly sad, angry, or in a very bad situation.
So, you get the Star Wars thing where Anakin is supposed to be a young Hitler. The actor has no idea what it feels like to be young Hitler and then sounds wooden.
I hate when they change stories but in this case you must unless you have some kid who is an insightful genius.
I was going to post her, but had no idea where to begin spelling her name.
It's a deadly showbiz name unless you are SUPER famous and people MUST learn your name.
If you want crazy, you should read the books, not just an overview written by someone else, of mideast religions. They have a LOT of very weird things going on. In one, women must shave their head, due to vanity, but it's okay to wear a wig that looks just like real hair!!
What?!
I have read Scientology because I'm fascinated by religion and psychology. They are the same thing. Types of people make up types of religions.
Anyway, Scientology is a semi-ripoff of a psychotherapy called Gestalt Therapy. The idea there is you become "authentic" when you stop lying overtly and to yourself. In Scientology they call that being Clear and have methods of doing it. The spaceman stuff is just nonsense but it's no more weird than any other religion I know of. And, Scientology isn't about prejudice, maybe a little, or about killing people and raping them because they aren't in your religion.
It's pretty harmless.
I rewatched it and it is generally okay.
However, Superman isn't Jesus.
If you read his history it's easy to see. He is a response, just before WWII to Nietzsche's "Ubermensch" (Superior man) an idea the Nazis adopted. A Superior Man is one who is ruthless and takes what he wants and has no pity for weak people.
The creators were jews and in that set of ideas a "Mensch" is a great guy who helps in a communist fashion his community.
Alfred Adler was a popular psychologist at the time and believed good mental health came from using your "powers" to help other people. In turn, people would help you and you'd feel part of a community. Meanwhile, a crazy person was self-focused, selfish, and used their powers to help themselves. That causes others to turn against you and makes life miserable.
Nearly all the classic Superman villains are like that. Lex could be great but he's so focused on being great that he ruins it.
Anyway, Superman is about a regular nice guy and what a nice person would do if he could. Superman is like the main character from It's a Wonderful Life.
Also, I saw this film on opening night and the crowd was shocked by it and hated it.
I'll never forget when Superman uses his x-ray vision to spy on Lois in her house. The crowd gasped! And then when the kid turns out to be Superman's child and he does NOTHING to get his family together and flies away to do his thing like some ghetto dude, the crowd was dead silent and mumbling.
That stuff screwed up the movie. Lex and all that were very good although it was boring to have him back again.
I want to know how it is possible for every TV, movie, and book to be "woke".
It is impossible to get creative people on the exact same page, so how is it being done?
I will not be paying for movies like this anymore. If I want to see them I will download them.
However, I will probably not want to see it so that won't even happen.
They need to stop.
The message from the first was similar.
What was surprising about it was that the villain wasn't a villain he was a person that wanted to live and was bitter that he was going to die. Instead of acting in a sinister manner in the end he did something good because he didn't want anyone else to die before their time.
You do not see that in movies especially back when Blade Runner came out. It was really something special.
For 2049 we already knew that replicants are the same as humans.
I was just thinking this the other night!
In the original comics, Lois was a smart women, but she had bad taste. She liked "bad boys" thugs, and flashy people. That is why she liked Superman, but not Clark.
The deal with Clark is that he sees the good in her, but won't feed into the shallow stuff by presenting himself to her as Superman. He is waiting for her to like Clark.
She would have been great as a smart woman of quality that has a casual nasty side.
I have always wanted to do it!
When I'm in professional mode, I'm very objective and ethical in my judgments.
But for real, I vowed to always work with poor people and so I tend to be treatment oriented when it comes to drugs, theft, and stuff like that. I did work in the prison system for ten years and tend to be hard on sex offenses, rape, murder, and assaulting innocent people. Also, when it comes to economic stuff, I'm for the little guy, so I do have my biases.
Wow, 2049 was not a very good movie.
I looked great and I enjoyed the main character a lot, but it had ZERO message whereas the first one had an unforgettable message.
It's mostly because I can more easily see lies than others. More importantly, a psych person may be very compassionate toward people.
In psych there's no such thing as "free will" which invalidates the way law approaches cases.
This stuff is brilliant observation.
I noticed it in the 90s.
I used to be a huge reader and started to notice that science fiction and fantasy novels were moving away from having a strong male lead. Soon, I stopped reading because so many books had female lead characters, but were written by men. I though the characters terrible for that reason, they were men in thought and action, but with a female name. That then started happening in many movies back then. It was the tiny "kickass" female being up giant guys, etc and that became obnoxious quickly.
What I want to know is, how is all of the stuff you noticed so sweeping?
I am a creative person, I paint, I have written several novels, and there is no way I'm going to accidentally create the same types of situations that everyone else has. That does not happen with creative people. It does happen if you're a writer and you are issues assignments.
For instance, some writers work for companies and they are "employees" and the publisher will say "vampires are hot and you MUST write as vampire novel" and that's not art exactly. Meanwhile, some authors are creative and will dream up their own original story.
As I mentioned, I find it amazing that nearly ALL movies, TV, and books that are fun and creative have gone this feminist route. Creatively, it is impossible.
I got banned recently for saying who I think it is, but I think there's a conspiracy to weaken the public by the people who control the media. OR, it's something like the CIA. They have bankrolled movies in the past and so why not? But, I can't think of a government motive unless again, it's to take the fight out of males through confusion and pressure from women.
What is your thought on why this is so wide spread?
I work in psychology and never ever get picked. It makes for a frustrating day.
I'm too old to care about it much anymore. I stick to taking care of my immediate world.
