Nope, I did not watch the 100th anniversary special (wouldn't that be 100 episode special?). Initially, I thought I was a fan until I purchased the first few seasons. After a binge, I found myself getting bored and annoyed by the characters, references, and lack of story. It's a personal taste thing. This is why I give him credit for his talent. He is a talented guy who created a show people love. I'm just not one of them. I ended up watching Ted upon the recommendation of my soldiers. Unfortunately, I found the movie to be unlikeable. I enjoyed the Flash Gordon Reference though.
As for Adam Sandler, I like parts of his movies, but they are never as much fun as Happy Gilmore or the Wedding Singer.
I love the fact that they actually shoot through walls.
I just realized something stupid. In Hellboy 2, that too was voice work. My bad. So... I can't say much about his performance.
I can only say that for Hellboy 2. His accent was awful in that. Outside of that, I've only seen his voice work and a few hosting events.
I'm only a couple years younger than he his.
I saw the same thing with Pulp Fiction. I enjoyed it.
Fair enough. Have fun.
The First black panther trailer looked bad, but the second looked really good. You may be right about it making more than the Justice League film. But, until the numbers come out, all predictions are fallible.
I am no fan of George or his politics, but there are a lot of allegations without any evidence to back them up. Until there is evidence or a confession, he's innocent until proven guilty.
I didn't read the book so I'm a little biased towards the movie. I think the bottle scene was set up and executed very well in the film. My wife and I were sure it would lead to a confrontation like what the book apparently has. Perhaps they went the movie direction to keep the film light or reduce the reel time. Personally, I like the bottle throw. It's a redeeming quality for a character who doesn't have a lot going for him.
It's fun, the effects were good, and it was on TV a lot when I was growing up. The only issue I have is that Peter doesn't spend most of the movie with the rest of the ghostbusters. He's rekindling his relationship with Dana while the rest of the guys are looking for the slime river.
The train scene was my favorite.
It's good to see that someone is going to the theater. This year has been awful for attendance.
I understand your point. It's appropriate. I wonder, though, if the reason for a movie like Transformers to have such a high return is due to it's demographic target. A 7 year old can watch transformers and follow along. Their parents are more likely to take kids to a movie that's not rated R. Transformers, in this situation is positioned to make more money than Blade Runner. What surprises me the most is the sheer lack of interest in Blade Runner. Many claim it's the run time. I wonder if it has more to do with the fact that we're seeing so many remakes, sequels, prequels, retellings, continuations and "verses" being thrown on the screen. Both ate probably a part of the truth.
Thanks for the link
The Omen and Poltergeist had similar issues. Hapenstance or not, it's always interesting to listen to the cast and crew talk about their experiences.
They need a like button for this one.
That's fair. I kind of see Fr. Dyer in the same light. He seemed a little too Goofy at first, but he seemed to care more after giving the last rights. I'm reason the book now (Halloween season) and I'm impressed with how much detail they've gotten correct in the film. Good discussion.
That was a good one. You got me laughing.
I don't think I fully agree with you on reason of emotion for belief. It's true that some have that element of belief, but the logical assumption of believing in something creating the University is just as absurd as the belief that existence just happened. Also, it's equally as emotional to turn away from a belief because of another's behaviour. Most Atheists I know don't hate the idea of God so much as they dislike those who believe. Thats not everyone who doesn't believe, but a good portion do. Who could blame them when what they see is hipocritical to the beliefs the others claim. As for you statement of comparison, that didn't come until later and it was used to avoid the actual topic of discussion, "hope" personified in the film. Do you see "hope" personified in the film? There's no sky fairy in that question.
I don't think you're wrong from evolutionary point of view. It especially makes sense if you look at it from a "nothing out there" point of view.
The reason I brought "Sky Fairy" up is because it's used to degrade someone's belief as though it is not important. The reality is, it's so important that people talk about the existence of God regardless of what they do or do not believe. Some view that belief as dangerous and child like. Other's see it as truth. In the end, it reveals that human thought is diverse and interesting.
