How much better of a life would Will Smith of had if he married Regina King instead of Jada? He could of married almost anybody and he picked abusive ass GI Jane?
I had 2 younger brothers and between them and my friends it was sports all day and video games all night during the summer. in Wisconsin Winters we had many days being stuck inside playing games all day though. I played Baseball/Basketball for my High School teams and if I had my way it would have continued though college.
In 1987 my cousin got a Nintentedo and when I played Super Mario Bro. video games were never the same. After that all the Atari/Intellivision/colecovision looked like baby toys. Sounds like you just missed out on the NES/Genesis era which was a great time to be a kid. Cheers!
This and True Romance are 2 perfectly paced films. He was an alltime underrated director!
What is crazy though is if the Patriot Act was around when this movie came out 9/11 most likely never happens. After 9/11 we decided it was worth sacrificing some freedom/privacy for our safety. I personally hate the Patriot Act but I can also acknoledge that it's worth sacrificing some privacy for our safety but how much is too much?? How much is not enough??
I haven't seen this movie since VHS days back in 90's but watched it today free on Youtube. I totally forgot they did the same hilarious Tech mistake as Blade Runner when they take low rez security footage and say "ENHANCE" and suddenly the video magically shows twice as much detail. Only this was even worse because then they were able to take the image and "ROTATE" around the bag with the video disc. Only way they can rotate like that are with those special 3D camera's they use in the NFL games certainly not with big standard 1998 Security Camera footage.
This movie was also an unofficial sequel to the 1974 "The Coversation" with Gene Hackman playing exact same character.
I've had a crush on Regina King since 1991 when I was 14 and saw her in Boyz N the Hood. I'm baffled that any straight man would go out of his way to make a post about how "Ugly" she is? The dude that created this Post is straight homo.
It was a good idea poorly executed. They set up the idea earlier in the series by telling a story of how Genghis Khan instructed everybody to tie twine to every sparrows leg and set fire to it before releasing them into town and the Sparrow flew to it's "safety" only to set an entire village on fire. Kublai copied the sparrow stunt only setting his horses on fire idea from this but to make it believable they should have thrown a blanket or carpet over the horse and set fire to it before sending them stampeding into the Christians Camp. Setting the horse itself on fire wouldn't create a big enough fire or allow the horse to last long enough to do any damage.
I recall thinking having it made as a kid with our technology. My father grew up in the later 50's early 60's in a house that didn't even have a TV Set. They rented one on the Holidays and watched the Honeymooners in Black and White. The First TV my family had when I was a kid was a 17inch Color TV we already owned it when I was born in late 70's. in 1981 my dad bought me a Mattel Intellivision and I thought it was the coolest thing ever invented. In 1983 I got an Atari 2600 for Christmas and I loved both consoles but my favorite games were on the Atari. My dad bought us our first Computer in 1984 the Colecovision ADAM Computer.
Games for all the consoles I had were fun but they were only play for best high score type of games. The First RPG type of game I ever played was Zelda on NES. Getting the maps from Nintendo Power or Zelda was like finding a Pirates Hidden treasure map. Nintendo games are the oldest consoles though that are just as fun as todays games despite the simple graphics. I can pull out NES games and my kids will happily play Tecmo Superbowl with me but I NEVER could get them to play any Intellivision/2600/Colecovision game with me. I didn't have Internet until I was living on my own as a 23 year old man in 2000. I had Roadrunner Internet and an AMD Athlon Computer and played Counterstrike 24/7.
As I get older I barely play videogames anymore now that my reflexes have slowed down. I can't be competitive anymore and if I can't compete for the best I'm not interested in playing. Now I enjoy movies more than games. Kids have it so good today but they are paralyzed by how many games to choose from. When I was a kid we go to Toys R Us on either my or my brothers birthday and pick out an NES game which they had around 50 to choose from and at home we'd have around 30 games in my NES Collection. It made choosing much easier. Anyway here is to good times and Cheers!
I've changed my mind I think John Milius copied the Long Ships. He was famous for being a History Buff. Especially around Vikings Lore. The Long Ships would have been right up his ally as a young man. He copied The Long Ships. George Miller could of copied either one or both.
Furiosa kind of took these 2 scenes and merged them into one. They took the Warrior Sacrifice from The Long Ships and the jump down from high elevation from Conan.
I'd argue that Furiosa was closer to The Long Ships though because it was making the exact same point. He was so strong because he had all these warriors willing to die for me at me mearly asking them to without question. Also he made someone else choose what warrior to sacrifice. In Conan he was using it to prove he was godlike and his people will sacrifice themselves. Not quite the same having a young women sacrifice herself as one of your trained warriors. George Miller certainly stole the jump from hi place sacrifice from Conan though.
If you haven't seen it "Little Shop of Horrors" was amazing too. I saw it in the theater when it came out then we bought it on VHS when it came out. It had amazing Music the voice of the plant was the dude from The Four Tops. Frank Oz directed it so the special effects were mind blowing as well.
Olivia Newton John was a stunner your high AF if you don't think she's gorgeous
She was 34 years old in Grease not that she was smoking hot as a younger women. Ironically in 1973 in "The Girl Most Likely too..." she plays another teenager who is supposed to be the ugliest girl in school who makes embarressing attempts to get a date with a boy and makes huge disaster after disaster to get a man.
I just read your argument and you were way off base. Danny attempted to join a sports team even though he hated sports all because he wanted to impress the girl he loved. He failed spectacularly and the mere attempt to do it for her won her over. The movie isn't exactly Romeo & Juliet just a simple musical around a 50's high school love story. It had pretty bad but endearing acting. It had a 34 year old women attempting to pass as a High School Senior. Most importantly it had Olivia Newton John and John Travolta in their prime with catchy songs and good dancing.
I just watched it tonight for first time in forever and first time in HD. Stockard Channing who played Rizzo leader of the Pink Ladies was 34 years old and in HD it's obviously a women in her 30's pretending to be a high school chic is hilarious.
It's OK, it's not bad or good but we're only 2 episodes in so far. I'm interested enough to watch the 3rd Episode when it drops on Tuesday. So many parrots infested with brainworms lurk on this website it's insane. You'd think this show was the worst thing ever created based on what they are saying so my guess is many haven't even seen it. I like the idea of a set of identical twins being seperated at a young age with one being adopted by an evil force and the other a good force. The acting is very good some of the special effects are a little off but still good if measured by non Star Wars shows. it's cetainly not the creation of the devil like so many people on here are crying about. They seriously need to touch grass.
The movie has many stupid flaws but I still enjoyed it. It's current 7.9 on IMDB is extremely overrated though. Here just a couple things I didn't like I have many other complaints but these come immediately to mind.
1. It's absurd that the survivor mechanic from Oda Island would still try blaming Shikashima for not shooting Godzilla with the Zero fighters 20mm cannon to "Save" the other machanics by shooting it. Godzilla by then took out Battleships.
2. It was absolutely insane that the United States Military wouldn't fight Godzilla. Supposedly because of Soviet Tensions. In '47 the USA was the only country to own Nukes it had zero reason to be worried about any other nation. This was lazy script writing to keep the USA out of the Gozilla movies. I understand it's a Japanese story and movie they aren't going to make the film have the USA as it's Knight in shining armor. However realistically the USA would be more worried about Godzilla than the Soviets in 1947.
3. The Mechanic installing an ejection seat in just a day is impossible and shoehorned in the script for a takeout death.
Movie theaters are dying and seeing incredible movies on jumbo screen will likely become a thing of the past soon. I rarely go the the theaters. Last movie I saw before Furiosa was Oppenheimer. it takes a special movie to want to pony up to go see it in the theater. I saw Fury Road twice in the theater I loved it soo much. Once in 3D and once in standard. Furiosa deserves to be seen in theaters it's a special experiance.
The movie isn't "woke" it's fucking amazing. Go see it in theaters while you still can.
The movie has a ton of amazing practical effects and great CGI mixed with some sketchy CGI. Whoever made the trailer should never work on trailers again fuck it they should be fired. They crammed mostly bad CGI effects in the trailer instead of the incredible practical effects. It's not a fair representation of the movie and certainly contributed to the under performance of it.
