I feel some are looking at this point at face value, which on the surface is a bit basic, and yes cannot be overlooked. If you think of this from a psychological point of view, the mere thought of a older woman being one with a younger version of herself was reason enough for her to go along with it.
Keep in mind the type of woman she is as well, she grew up and spent most of her life with a ritzy "forever young" mentality, think of the many women in Hollywood that get plastic surgery, they do this to look, or even feel younger. I get the points you're trying to make, but even if, I can still see a woman of Demi's kind in the movie going along with something like this.
Later on in the film, your points were met when she started screwing with the younger version of herself when she realized there's no going back, so it's not like these topics were ignored.
Probably a unpopular opinion​, but I thought part 2 was pretty good, despite it's (failed) attempt at making it a kids movie.
No denying that part 3 and everything thereafter was a massive shit show. Verhoeven wasn't apart of anything after the first part, which made things pretty predictable in how the universe turned out.
Will be missed.. one of the greats and forever remembered. RIP
I still consider it one of my favorite sci-fi flicks, it's one of my annual watches. I personally wouldn't change anything about it and think it's aged pretty well. I'd still recommend it to others, have, and they liked it as well.
Don't bother watching a documentary on OJ unless it's the OJ: Made in America series. There's so much that occurred during that whole ordeal, and Made in America covers all of it, and is probably one of the best documentaries ever.
There are in fact heavy racial themes with the OJ story, for obvious reasons if you knew what happened.
I actually never proclaimed anywhere that I liked the movie or not. I don't need to like a movie to know whether or not you're wrong about something. Since you did manage to insinuate such a thing, seemingly because I came across your misleading insinuation about "The Thing (1982)" being a reboot/remake/whatever of "The Thing from Another World (1951)", and this misleading incorrect statement of such happened to be on "The Thing (1982)'" board in particular.. on top of being wrong and a troll, you're also now prejudice and short sighted.
Good job.
Ok. You're wrong. But apparently you like being wrong. Or you're just a troll, none the less I'm not biting but I'm sure someone else will.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about since "The Thing (1982)" isn't a remake, or reboot, sequel, or anything of "The Thing from Another World (1951)", but rather a adaptation of the "Who goes there?" novella. They are literally two entirely different movies that happen to share a couple of the ideas from the novella.
Edit: and by a couple I literally mean 1) Cold place, and 2) Alien.
Pretty sure that wasn't what they were trying to point out in the movie. They were pointing out that she remembered his helmet because it was left in her residence, not whoever the guy was. I don't recall them explaining anywhere in the movie that they shared consciousness. The way I took it is they shared each other's heights throughout the week in the form of dream sequences. If they did in some way share the entire week I don't think either of them remembered fully what the other did throughout the week. This seems evident when Elizabeth wakes up and sees the new billboard with Sue on it, and her reaction to that, seemingly as if she was just realizing that Sue had been somewhere and was doing other things without her.
I agree with pretty much everything you've said, I don't understand the hate this movie gets, it's a worthy reboot and hope another gets developed.
I think in part some of what you're asking is due to the fact that primarily the show was put on the air for monetary purposes. If they didn't add things like cars or at least some other realistic factor into the show that relates to other people in the real world it wouldn't make any money, nobody would watch it and the show would eventually die because it's basically too boring.
Apologies, but I'm assuming the Sirius thing you're mentioning has to do with a scene in the movie which I can't seem to remember at the moment.
I agree with parts about what you're trying to say.. the problem is Furiosa is actually not that bad of a movie. I wouldn't be able to explain why the movie tanked so hard at the box office, only speculate that it was just bad timing. Gotta remember that the box office isn't the whole picture for movie lovers, some do terrible at the box office and later become cult classics. Just look at how bad John Carpenter's The Thing did at the box office, and how now basically it's being held as one of the best sci-fi horrors ever made.
Do I think this is the best Mad Max movie ever made? No, but it's definitely worth a watch and it exceeded my expectations. I don't think Furiosa was made to replace Mad Max, it was made to expand the Mad Max universe.
Agreed, and me neither. I don't think I've ever seen him with that long of a beard. I didn't think his character was going to show up until later on in the movie. Guess I just couldn't picture him dressed up as a Messiah.
He died in 2018

I get where you're coming from.. it could seem like Sosa is waging war on the US, and well, the US would win and might seem like Sosa has gotten either desperate or wreakless. But I think it's worth pointing out that Sosas' empire is depicted in the movie as one of the most powerful organized crime empires in the world, they are professionals.
Regardless of the circumstances, the chances the US would be able to link the explosion back to Sosa I think in the long run would be pretty slim. Plus, if memory serves me right there were multiple different families being investigated by the whistleblower, that would make things even more unlikely for it to be linked back to a single person.
12 monkeys was released in the mid-90s, so you must be thinking of Fight Club.
I'd have to agree.. I'm a bit bummed because I was sort of looking forward to it, but yeah let me just say it fell below expectations for me. I think the AI plot was a big mistake. Let's hope the next one makes up for it and these two aren't the last ones.
We talking about movies never I'd watch again all the way through? I can only think of a few really, otherwise I'd still watch most, either all the way through or small parts here and there, even if I hated them. But for ones I think should never have existed and would probably never watch all the way through unless I totally hated the person sitting next to me:
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Porky's (1981)
Psycho (1998)
Runner ups:
The Man from Earth (2007)
Midsommar (2019)
Death race 2050 (2017)
I was going to share my hatred for Cannibal Holocaust as well, because the film makers and cast are all cock sucking pieces of shit and unfortunately all their deaths were fake. You beat me to it.
