Yea it’s crazy when you think about it. A movie back then made about the Civil War was similar to a movie today made in 2022 about the 1950’s. Still within the memory of the oldest people. Even in the 1930’s people were making movies harkening back to earlier days. Their version of nostalgia?
Of course it’s a different looking dress. But somewhere in there is still the original dress that Ella’s mother wore. I think that is what the important thing was. Taking a part of her mother with her, rather than setting aside her mothers dress and wearing something that wasn’t her mother’s.
Im more concerned about the story. How do u create an engaging story that doesn’t take away from the aesthetic that is Mario? It’s animated, so that’s a plus. I can’t imagine them screwing this up as bad as the 80s Super Mario movie.
There is no trailer so it’s hard to say. Right now, we have popular IP’s of Sonic and Pikachu to go off of. If it’s a good movie, it will be a box office success, like the previous two films mentioned.
I feel like we are not seeing the same cultural changes between decades the same way we did from decades of the previous century. The 70’s, 80’s and maybe even the 90’s feel distinct, unlike the 00’s and 10’s, which feel like they all run together and feel aesthetically similar.
It’s relevant but not so popular anymore. It harkens back to the 60’s and early 70’s; an era that is earlier that most adults today lived through. You would had to have been from the Baby Boomer generation to have lived through this in any meaningful capacity, and the youngest of those people are in their late 50’s or early 60’s as of the time of this post in 2022.
I was 6 when this show was on. It looked so boring to me so I never even tried to watch it. Now, as an adult, it’s a gold mine of funny punchlines and situations. Your dad probably worried too much. What 6 year old in 1987 would be fascinated by Golden Girls over Sesame Street?
The episode where Blanche dreams that her husband wasn’t actually dead. Blanche is trying to decide whether to let him back in his life and doesn’t want to talk to him. Blanche consults with Rose and Rose says that she should definitely at least talk to him because she wishes she had a chance to speak to her deceased husband for the last time.
And also the episode where Dorothy is addicted to gambling and Rose willfully let Dorothy rip her off of her $100 in her account. I felt so awful for Rose.
Yea this was an interesting take on the series. Pretty cool.
Seems like her sub par singing is a recurring theme in these threads.
Completely agree. Caspians accent was a huge part of his identity. What a terrible decision.
Not in this version. It’s been 12 years since Dawn Treader. The actor for Eustace has aged out. Walden no longer has the rights. Netflix purchased them for $100 million in 2019 or so but has just been sitting on them for a while with no news. I wonder if the rights expire if Netflix doesn’t use them. Netflix needs to compete against the upcoming Amazon Lord of the Rings or HBO Max’s House of Dragon.
In anticipation for JW: Dominion, I started watching the previous JP movies, including this one. I watched this for the first time since it came out in theaters. At the time, I recalled it being all action. But there was more story to it this time then I remember. I liked it more than Lost World. Not a bad film. I liked it.
The end of the film hinted at a JP 4 that I guess never really materialized.
No it’s not a sports movie. Although Lucas does use the football team as a vehicle for gaining Maggie’s acceptable. But he doesn’t do that until more than halfway through the movie. Lucas is actually in band!
I think Lucas was acting like a kid lol I suppose all of us did one of these sorry acts at one point in our childhood. But all of them rolled together in a matter of days? Yea. Kind of jerky and manipulative.
I was thrown off by the transformation not being the pinnacle of the film, rather it being at the beginning to set up the film.
I guess I’m an idiot. I liked it quite a bit.
It was a critically acclaimed film, which drew in adult and mature audiences. Plus it was an emotional drama that drew in younger females because of teen heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. Good films in general are going to draw in audiences, especially when it was state of the art film in special effects also.
And also, the 1990’s were just a different era. You didn’t have people using smartphones to keep them entertained. Even internet was rare in 1997, and what internet did exist was a primitive version of what exists right now using slow dialup connections that were common at the time. Technologically impossible for any reasonable streaming services, which didn’t exist at the time anyway. Video on Demand wasn’t a thing either. Basically, the closest thing to On Demand was going to the nearest Blockbuster and renting a movie. And with theatrical windows being much longer back then, if a movie was going well at the box office, then theaters weren’t going to pull it. So you’re only option was to go to the theater to watch it. There wasn’t these short 1-3 month theatrical windows you see now where a movie gets a Blu Ray release right after. Titanic was in theaters for close or a year. Add to the fact that teen girls made it a “thing” to see among themselves who could “watch Titanic the most” and you have yourself a box office cash cow.
Well it’s not going to be in pristine shape after getting thrown into the ocean. I’m sure steerage ppl couldn’t afford a tux in the first place.
Who cares? If someone uses the word “woke” in their vocabulary, then I feel sorry for them. They must have a very bitter life.
