It’s going to be awkward if the general manager doesn’t understand he’s in a training class and starts yelling about rape at the top of his lungs.
Funny how Dan Akroyd and Robert Downey Jr also wore “blackface,” but made it actually funny and not just cliche. Fallon was just doing a lame Chris Rock impersonation.
Memento is his only good movie, fight me
Imo the main problem with Alien3 is that no one wanted to make it. At least not the producers at Brandywine nor Sigourney Weaver. But Fox really needed a sequel. Giler and Hill had a good original treatment idea, but they got the wrong scriptwriters for it, and Ridley Scott wasn’t available to direct. Renny Harlin’s idea of exploring the Alien home world was interesting but would be too costly to make in the 80s.
Then Sigourney Weaver got too heavily involved and demanded all these stipulations for the movie to have no guns, Ripley to have sex with an alien, and Ripley to die. The studio went with 1 and 3 and the movie sucked royally because of it.
Alien3 is a decent movie on its own, but as an Alien sequel it is no where near up to par.
<blockquote>In my book, any adaptation within the creative arts should never attempt to outright mimic.</blockquote>
Kind of a ridiculous ultimatum. Plenty of good movies are faithful to their source material. Rosemary's Baby for one.
<blockquote>It's clear that you vacant imbecile has nothing else to do, but at least waste our time on something that actually makes sense a little bit? Okay? Until then, you are not worth an extra minute of my time. A word of advice: if you keep being this dumb when you become an adult one day, you will fail in life.</blockquote>
If I wanted to take life advice from a moron who can't even pay attention to a blockbuster movie, then I would be an impossibly stupid idiot like you. Fuck off with your bullshit.
<blockquote>LOL, you are really squirming to make your dumb dumb points across. I am 100% right. You have totally lost this dude.</blockquote>
Lmao, stop projecting. You're trying to argue a non-point that is 100% false. It's utterly pathetic because you can't handle being wrong.
<blockquote>Because he wants to be on that boat.</blockquote>
Stop dodging the issue. You just said he could have made a hand-off at the visitor centre. I clearly explained why that wasn't possible, and if he could then he wouldn't be heading to the boat anyway. Way to defeat your own point.
<blockquote>Because the guy on the boat is arranging Nedry's way out the island.</blockquote>
Wtf does this even mean? "Arranging Nedry's way out the island"? If all Nedry had to do was get on the boat, why would the Biosyn guy even be there? The answer is that Nedry was making a hand-off to the guy on the boat. The dialogue I quoted proves my point. Get it through your thick skull you ingrate.
<blockquote>How?</blockquote>
Because they literally agreed half up front and the rest upon delivery of the embryos? What reason would Biosyn have to withhold the money from Nedry and piss him off? You're not very accomplished at critical thinking are you?
<blockquote>How? You are just making stuff up at this point.</blockquote>
It's literally in the dialogue you stupid peasant. Did you even watch the scene? To quote: <b>Don't get cheap on me Dodgeson, that was Hammond's mistake.</b> End quote. It was obviously a thinly veiled threat. How much more evidence do you need you stupid cunt?
<blockquote>You obviously can't realize that if a giant corporation can't find someone who robbed them of billions of dollars worth of their research, someone who may have indirectly caused a few deaths will definitely not be found.</blockquote>
Who said anything about being found? You ever figure that Nedry simply isn't a psychopath who wanted to leave the fences off and have everyone on the island being brutally killed? Also would you rather be the subject of a corporate manhunt for theft or a nationwide manhunt for murder? Think about it numbnuts.
<blockquote>He wasn't planning on staying AT ALL.</blockquote>
Again, where's your proof you stupid imbecile?
<blockquote>Thinking that would be a plausible explanation requires them to be utter imbeciles.</blockquote>
What explanation? All they knew was that Nedry went to get a soda from the vending machine.
<blockquote>He needs that guy on the boat, because he is leaving before he was supposed to leave.</blockquote>
Again, what the F-CK are you babbling about? "needs the guy because he is leaving before he was supposed to leave?" This is literally a non-sequitur that doesn't address my point at all. Are you just now realizing how you've argued yourself into a corner and can't get out. Again, explain your point: if Nedry is leaving on the boat, then <i>Why does the Biosyn guy have to be there at all?</i> That's CHECK and MATE you little bitch.
<blockquote>He needs 18 mins to steal the embryos and make it to the docks. Not to steal the embryos, make his way to the docks in a tropical storm, rush back to the visitors center, change his clothes with identical dry/clean ones, and be back on his seat to finish his "shift".</blockquote>
Holy f-ck, you're still obsessed with being wrong. The reason the boat was leaving early was because of the tropical storm. Nedry did NOT plan the white rabbit virus in advance of the storm, because no one knew it was going to hit. He had programmed an 18 minute window because that was the least amount of time before Hammond would get suspicious about his absence. Also I already said <i>The book explained that Nedry was heading back to the control room</i>. The white rabbit virus was designed to cover its tracks once the correct commands were given. Why would Nedry bother programming such a thing if he wasn't going to return to the control room? CHeck and MATE again bitch.
<blockquote>If he could be on the boat tomorrow morning, why is he rushing today?</blockquote>
Because he's making a handoff to Dodgeson's man, you colossal lemming.
<blockquote>It means it's irrelevant what the book says. Jesus.</blockquote>
Oh yes, it's "irrelevant" even though his plan is EXACTLY the same in the book, and there's no evidence Nedry was leaving the island that night. Stop talking out your ass you stupid butthurt troll.
I would say he is overrated, but mostly due to his 2000s and 2010s output, which is mostly mediocre, over praised fluff.
However his 90s work, from Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown, are worthy of cementing his status. Maybe Reservoir Dogs less so because it’s basically a remake of “City of Fire” with Chow Yun Fat, but otherwise he really was at the top of his game in that decade.
the teal and orange colour grading made my eyes hurt
They all decided to have a threesome with Jason Lee
You’re right, it was much worse
Interesting. To me the Mornay revenge sequence was one of the most memorable parts of the film. It’s nightmarish and got a good sense of tension. One of the more creative death scenes. The escape is kind of implausible (but not impossible), but that’s sort of missing the point.
I don’t think I could find a scene of a man getting his twig and berries shorn off, or his intestines pulled out like rope to be all that dull either. Lol!
The tv series looks horrible/low budget
I read a disturbing interpretation of that scene... the way Miller looks at the pile of sandwiches with red meat, reminds him of the exploded, fleshy bodies on Omaha beach. And the black coffee is like blood. Never saw the scene the same way again!
The film is pretty much pure Hollywood fantasy that gets all the historical details wrong, but that said.... it’s still an incredible, epic, entertaining, and (most importantly of all) an emotionally moving powerhouse drama about personal and spiritual liberation from oppressive tyranny. It also happens to have incredible photography, editing, and staging. Mel Gibson knocked it out the f-cking park with this one.
Goes to show that a movie does not need to be 100% accurate to achieve its goal of imparting the audience with an important message or emotion.
Don’t you mean 23 years younger?
What a weird analogy....
Lol what a joke
Come in (with the milk)
