Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Tarantino uses his characters and their dialogue to build his suspense, rather than using a traditional plot device or the environment. He sits them down at a table and has them talk for like 20 minutes, and I'll be on the edge of my seat. That takes tremendous talent.It takes more talent to have them sit there for 20 minutes and not talk.Well I never said he was Leone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 all the talent in the world wouldn't make a 20 minute scene of people sitting around, talking or not, interesting.Joe, imagining 20 minutes of poker on espn during their times of desperation.

BTW, a little reminder, the teaser trailer of Supes will be shown together with the new Batman (in IMAX theaters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite my dislike of abrams, he will put on a spectacular display.

Brónach 1,302 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Because it was made with a purpose. It wasn't made to look sleek on screen too you all impressionable young people.You know. Apparently, if you create a warp bubble, what you do is accumulating energy on the front, without a limit, that just grows and grows as you go, and is released at the end of the trip. Another way of planet destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we had the (astonishing) amount of necessary energy for it we would have no idea how to use it to fold space in such a manner. I look at it mainly as a source of speculation for time travel. Space travel I find easier to cover in other simpler ways. Reading about warp bubbles can make one go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey, I'm only as good as my sources. The Yahoo article I read at the time that I posted -- not the Christian Science Monitor article that I actually linked -- gave the name of Daniel O'Herlihy as the actor behind the character who Laurie would be playing, and then made some comparison of the original old man being Irish, and the new one being English.I am trying to find the article and cannot, possibly because "facts" have come out. The article really specify who he will be playing, just "the villainous CEO of Omni Corp." Dick Jones was the VP of OCP, and definitely the villain, while "the old man" was OCP Chairman, not evil, just an enabler of evil until the end when he allowed Dick Jones to be killed.It's possible the characters will be combined. We just don't know.I have corrected the logical rebus of my original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how Maleficent plans to tell any different of a story.Did Snow White need another updated "cool" version? Does Superman need yet another reboot?Modern Hollywood mantra: When in doubt or lost for new ideas, you can always rip off or recycle old ones. Just find that new angle. It works for children's stories, preferably those with Disney animations already done based on them.And yes sometimes new spin on an old well known tale might be interesting but it seems the tinsel town is producing nothing but these days.
