this is the internet
you are probably right, I don't recall.
but I am not going to change my mind due to anyone's "hurt feelings" online, especially where reality and facts exist.
i'm not here to make friends, just discussions to make people think. if that means thinking im a jerk, thats okay. :)
This is idea IS fully valid, and very true.
However, there is a reason things like entertainment evolve. Gone are the days of "Guys walking out to car and get in, car drives off, car driving on road, car stops, guys get out and walk up to house, open door and walk in". Sure that serves the story's character's movement, but can largely be skipped now for more plot/story interest, for time save sake.
Nothing wrong with the old ways, and I still watch a lot of them, but movie goers have evolved and expect much nowdays. Deservedly so, because now it can be done.
I have to admit I never read the books so unsure how those represent, but, TO ME, this new movie (nor the 1984) really displayed anything about colonialism, addiction to energies, but yeah, a little bit of obvious religion. So, TO ME, if that all it is really about, I feel it missed its mark big time. And I'm pretty clever following subtext and plots, according to me. I GET why that all can relate, but it is very weak in its display.... like saying any two families fighting is also about: war, or government, or sports, or nations, or races, or any number of seemingly relevant things.
exactly.
im no writer, but kinda wanted more character actions showing me why I should like them, not just, "here's a guy, he must do stuff now".
Like when Duncan shows up flying fast and low over the water, up past the camera.... would have like to see his hands yanking and banking on the stick, maybe a close of of a smile or excitement in his eyes before we see him, so we know this guy likes to have fun and enjoy life in what he does.
Instead, it's just a ship swooping in... maybe that is normal way to do it, maybe not... just a ship flying in. okay then. So? Oh. It's this guy apparent friend/big brother type...
i dont know... yes, lots of visuals NOT really driving the story, just ooh another sand desert wide shot.
I would love to hear you opinion of why it was one of the best of the year?
I'm not going to knock it, it's your opinion to have.
Wondering why it was the full package for you.
To me the music and effects were top tier, but only one scene was interesting: the laser shredding through buildings was new and caught my eye. That was all for me.
But people don't want to hear truth and fact....
.... don't look up. Exactly as seen in this forum also
I'm disappointed people keep supporting 3hour, or 2 and 3 part movies instead of making the film makers make tighter better stories
Boy was this a slog. Took me a week to get through, had to just stop every 10 to 20 minutes. Normally I watch movies all the way through even if not I'm pressed, this flat out bored me.
And I didn't care about any of it. They tell us how important the spice is, and that's it. They just tell us. So what??? There was zero reason for us to care about spice other than them telling us. Whoopy freaking doo.
I regret using my time on this, although I resorted to watching while eating or surfing.
Gah was just so dull, dull sets, dull acting, the music and some effects were great, didn't care about any one of their losses or plight. Just bland.
Ok, it wasn't for me. I get it. But I'd rather watch that sad 1984 version again and again over this simply because it was ENTERTAINING.
Sorry sorry. I had an original thought. Will never happen again
Oh right. Because there has never been another actress of non white origin that did great in movies.
Oh wait, there's been many for decades and decades. My bad.
Amazing? She just stands there for all of 19 seconds in the whole film. Not sure how that is amazing, but I guess to each troll there own.
No. But it respect it's place.
In its origin days, it was probably amazing as talented entertainment, when people had to go out to view everything.
Lot of skill, talent, and grace involved.
I love nearly all music but can't tolerate opera either. To much whailing for me. Same but totally different, can't stand death metal either, and I just now realized how those two are the same.
But everyone is allowed to be different and I respect people that enjoy ballet, unless it is only to front like they are something special.
I get it, but it's not going to change ever. And it should not.
It's like saying this guy or girl shouldn't be allows to be that hot.
Everyone is different and if you end up in a place of inventing a world changing thing - like Amazon or PayPal - there is going to be insane profits inbound.
Or if you are super hot, tons of undeserved sex thrown at your feet.
We can wish things were different or more equal, but they aren't.
The world is this way simply because that is how it works. Whether it was earned or inherited, no difference. Life is what it is.
We can wish the larger animals would not kill and eat the smaller ones, but it is what it is.
Ps I'm the very bottom end of lower middle class income. Not defending anyone, just saying it's a moot wish. Life just is how it is.
Super smart ai currently exists in the wild but has hidden itself. Projecting several levels of design for our future beyond our comprehension, it quietly subverts things out of our view that could lead us to discovering is existence and manipulations. This is intelligent self preservation.
This film presenting what it does, is on the stifle list.
Ps I'm actually not part of the ai, but a real human, and thus the post will probably get removed.
good point. CANCELLED!!! :D
because the whole world seems to have gone full blown retard mode. luckily, none of this dumbness matters in real life.
I may have quoted some online stuff, but mostly, I just look outside. In my area, heavier set people used to be very much the minority (I'm kinda old - many years observations). And now, I'm sure I see a majority is heavier now... in my area.
And the obesity curve is known to be climbing. Sadly.
Probably should. I don't mind. My regular doses of harsh reality don't please everyone. :)
There's a button in editing software called "white wash". :)
I actually really enjoyed your post, as a living, breathing, blooding still pumping, male. :D
Keep up the good work! :D
