I have still yet to see a handful of the original nominations, but I just watched my last from those that made it past our first round: "Live Die Repeat," "Edge of Tomorrow," that you know, whatever...

Amazing - all three Star Wars OT movies taken down in one fell swoop.

Well maybe I shouldn't chime in, but since I already did, I will say I respect the idea put that way. I still don't understand how it's supposed to help overly heated debate, but I don't know what...

Let's do detective next and class up this joint a bit. Save your war day film festival and try to get 007 outvoted from all the walls of mystery movies.

But don't put off Lolita. What, Mattrick?...

You realize he's not really going anywhere, right? He always does this. "Pretend I'm not here!" It's apparently part of some strange persecution complex. You're supposed to forget you heard...

Well, I don't know if direct satire is necessarily better. That's partly an indirect way of saying that the movie comes right out and beats you over the head with it in case you are to dense to...

Hm, the new Robocop is better than expected. The sci-fi is much more sophisticated. The interior conflict is less direct than in the original, the social satire is more direct. Interesting.

Yeah - I do love film, but fall tv will appear soon.

Here people have been remarking on your statements that you'd never seen Star Wars, never seen BTTF, & so on, but I let that all pass 'cause I've known others who just didn't watch much sci-fi. Now,...

Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir. I was just recently reminded how some stories are built around personal change, thought you might like the example. But despite appreciating that fine little...

Great ending, isn't it? Good endings are rare and wonderful. Never needed sequels.

Well, not only does the first film brilliantly lampoon the media with its interspersed faux broadcast clips AND aptly target social problems by dramatizing privatization of public services in...

Audio commentaries are sometimes a pretty nice advantage of DVD rental over a standard download or streaming service. The track I heard on this copy of Knowing is particularly unusual - the director...

I felt the same. Exactly why I didn't watch it before now.

Well, I like Knowing far more than I thought I would.
It's more like Dark City than National Treasure, really.
Listening to the commentary track, the director continually refers to the whisperers...

I love satire. The violence of Dredd is akin to that in Unforgiven. Regarded independently, the film is still not as good as Robocop. But Judge Dredd (1995) is not even as good as Robocop 2. One...

Not altogether the best adaptation.

What did you think of it?[/QUOTE]Very good. It blends a lot of elements, most of them quite successfully.

Oh, I'm not surprised to hear he's done nothing better. I'm curious anyway. And I don't really expect to like Knowing more than when I've avoided watching it in the past. I just decided to see.

I watched Gravity.

I also rented Knowing. Even though that's not nominated, I'm curious about Alex Proyas after seeing Dark City.
