No i don't do those things
I just couldn't take the monster seriously and the movie wasn't interesting anymore. It picked up again when we got to follow the old guy's shopping and visits and the whole revelation, but by then the movie was alrrady ending.
Yes. She isn't really my responsibility and given the profession i'm in i'm already exposed as it is. Why would i put my life at risk or compromise my anonymity for some random civilian? He literally ended up dead because of it.
It was exciting to find out just what kind of situation she had gotten herself into, the sense that "something is off" yet nothing obvious has happened. I loved how she was laying in bed at night and the door just opened!
The dungeon exploration was exciting aswell - until it turned out to be guarded by a grey, dark-dwelling monster. By the time she was trying to feed the captives it had gotten completely goofy and all the horror elements had fizzled out.
I finished the movie as a mere formality of watching through what i'd already started.
Nothing confirms that there needed to be a breaking point. And it still doesn't really explain what she would've done if she caught him...
Why is it plausible to have her come back? She's a murder survivor and decades have gone by. Now there's a new copycat killer on the loose and for some reason she has to return. Who does that anyway? She's not a reporter of any kind nor part of a federal agency or a local policeforce.
Aside from being a popular character why the hell would she get involved as a <i>person</i>?
I don't think it's neccessarily chronoligical based on that reason alone. He could still be different characters and find his clothes in only one of the movies. The fact remains that neither the adventures nor any of the characters he meet are set up in a way that there is continuity/history in regards to Blondie.
My take on it is that the clothes and mannerisms are the same because it's iconic and not to because it's the same guy. It's just a re-used personality.
Yes but that's my point. Since Eastwood meets different characters it would make sense that he's a different character aswell. It would've been cheap otherwise, the idea that a plot has recycled actors just come back with a new name.
When those 2 were different characters it automatically differentiated Eastwood aswell. It concluded that he's living different lives meeting different people. His lifestyle is different in all the movies.
But the most important factor i would say is what the actual script says. If it doesn't conclude continuity between Blondie 1, 2 & 3 then the assumption should be that there is none. There's nothing intertwining the adventures neither by Blondie nor anyone else around him.
No because in Taxi Driver he's atleast shown to be institutionalized and later alive. It would be ambiguous at best.
Here you have 2 different Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volontè characters meeting Blondie, therefor it would only make sense that he too is a different person in each one of them. The fact that he dresses the same does feel unneccessary but it could've just been considered iconic and stayed at that, it doesn't have to be reason for a whole continuity in every aspect.
They are not the same person even though they share the same name and actor.
He got sacked for his views fortunately and did not win out on what America's policy would be.
The führer was perfectly fine for the Russians... until the day when he wasn't anymore. They were happy to panhandle Eastern Europe with him and Poland in particular. They still delude themselves that they beat fascism when really they colluded with it, and perpetuated it in their own right through the Soviet country.
Is Putler going to win the so-called elections once again?😂💩
Russia is the enemy at everyone else's doorstep - not the other way around.
The only actual attacks have happened on Ukraine, Chechnya, Georgia and Moldova - not on Russia.
Now that Sweden and Finland have joined NATO and Ukraine has de-russified politically, culturally and in every other way Russia's status as a 3rd rate country is sealed for good. With an aging population and hundreds of thousands of dead & fleeing young men there will be no recovery. Now there is also an actual dictatorship in place to speed up the decline.
A better world is taking shape without this imperialist crap country oppressing and poisoning everything around it.
I'd rather have seen a drama surrounding Jessie, Gabe and Tucker about what happened that day. Traumatic memories and strained relationships. Maybe a dose of not having seen each other in a long time aswell thrown into it and the impact it has wheen Tucker and Gabe meet once again.
Kind of like i wanted in the Creed movies aswell. I was interested in the aging Rocky's life he didn't have to be boxing over and over.
It's not an authentic black character is what i meant. Therefor it is better that a black man does it.
Butch is being a douchebag not an actual disabled character so ofcourse it's not an authentic portrayal. You're conflating things.
Sean Penn played a character that was actually supposed to be retarded - THEN you could argue whether it was believable or not.
You need to figure out what the purpose of a character is because you're all over the place.
Bruce Willis didn't make fun of handicapped people. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't a cyborg either. Shocking i know, the notion that movies aren't autobiographies.
Blackface is unauthentic first of all. I value good acting, just as an actor can be bad by moving or talking in a non cinvincing manner so too can he look wrong. But yes if it could pulled off successfully i don't have a problem with it. It's the circumstances around it that were problematic not the art in and of itself.
I am not talking about paychecks. You bring "unethical" behavior, yet nobody is claiming that the character is a role model. Just as there are unethical people in real life. A movie gives us the opportunity to experience that without having people beaten, robbed, kiled in real life.
Again why do you watch movies?
That's kind of the whole point of movies, to portray behaviors and lives that aren't your own. It's literally fucking called ACTING and clarified in the job's very title. Why do you even watch movies to begin with?
Trump loves war, undermining his own country when Russia spies on it and even praising Russia for doing it because he's a fucking dummy. Wants to dissolve NATO even though it's the cheapest investment for a military/political structure that a dollar could buy.
Everything is wrong. Everything.
Not because he is Jewish it would seem but the political stance he took. With those comes backlash from whoever has the opposite view. I'm not saying there isn't actual anti-semitism there most definitely is. But the isn't what your title implies.
