Fair enough, I only saw it once years ago.
1. An annotated bible. I’m not religious but the bible shaped a lot of Western culture. The annotated edition will put things in context.
2. Complete Shakespeare with annotations for understanding language and techniques used.
3. Ovid’s Metamorphosis. Like the other two, this is a very dense book with a lot of Western culture. It will also provide a contrast to the religion of the bible.
Science books are a good idea but the Eloi don’t seem particularly interested in these things. The time traveller is already an inventor so he can probably pass a long a lot of these things himself. Medical books can be dangerous to use with zero medical knowledge, unless it is something like first aid which I’m assuming the time traveller would know (or whatever was the equivalent in his time period).
They were entertaining, yes, but he completely misses what Jar Jar was doing and why Jar Jar continued to show up in the second and third movies despite being unpopular and why Jar Jar was “the key to all of this”. Same for The Phantom Edit guy. They think they know Star Wars better than Lucas even could. There’s so many subtle details in TPM once you know how to look for them, not just Jar Jar but film lore, and I don’t understand why these so-called critics didn’t pick up on any of it despite poring over the films for hours.
Exactly. She's had all her awful fillers dissolved and had a facelift.
Remember when photographers deliberately lying on pavements and aiming their camaers upwards to upskirt women was seen as fine?
Did it? He was always Japanese-American, that's why he doesn't use a katana in The Naked Time. Takei wanted to show his American side. Unless it was a Japanese-American colony somehow?
Yes! He is easily the best thing about the film. I love how he is cat like, focused, seductive.
Are there any other films with him in which he has the same vibe?
The doll from Rugrats was white…
I think he's going to fudge it again somehow when his next film is forgettable or he will be too obsessed with getting if perfect that he’ll never do it.
DiCaprio is like Brad Pitt in that they seem to have amazing agents who get them the best scripts while their acting is mediocre.
Tarantino copies the best bits from a bunch of other directors but it gets a bit samey after a while.
DiCaprio is more overrated as he never had a trademark style.
It's so dumb. He's obsessed with the idea of ten great films (ten by fudging the numbers) and hasn't realised that different films appeal to different people and opinions on films change over time. He's in a position where he can make whatever he wants and it will get funded and people will watch it. He should be beyond caring about awards or box office or what people think. He can do passion projects like this, films that push boundaries, experimental films, anything. Instead he seems to be fixated on having a perfect legacy to the point of ruining his legacy because it's become all a bit too safe.
I used to hate Clara as well for splitting up Doc and Marty and so preventing them from having more adventures. Now I realise they had to end the trilogy somehow. I just wish they could have written Clara better. She’s set up as a great match for Doc but spends the whole time needing rescued by him (runway horses, telescope broken, train rescue) or pining after him (dance, saying goodbye, on train). There’s not a single scene where she can just be her own person. The closest is when she’s explaining the stars to Doc and discussing Jules Verne.
I don’t think a love story is a bad idea. They needed something to end the trilogy, might as well be that.
She just looks stumpy and badly proportioned and no neck. Having a surname that sounds like poo doesn’t help either.
He has an incredibly good PR team that has built up a (actual) nice guy image around him. He picks his roles very carefully and always plays nice guys. Being able to maintain that for decades is his real acting.
Me. Part II used to be my favourite because the start showed the future but now it just looks a bit cringe. The movie is all over the place. The alternate 1985 is interesting but then it rehashes bits from I. Part I is objectively the best movie but I’ve seen it so many times that I avoid it now. That leaves Part III. It has a slower pace, more character driven.
Exactly. Angelina Jolie is the same. I'm sure Brad must have one hell of an agent as he gets offered a lot of interesting scripts despite being a terrible actor. At least George can act.
She has a new show coming out and has to say something controversial for attention.
It's when your becca gets worn out and needs rebeccaing. You go to the rebecca hall and they can fix it for you.
And yet you still can't provide proof the world loves him.
