JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It's only a movie.that's a horrible thing to say. The film, despite what we think about it, created jobs and employment, it put money in peoples pockets and food on the table. For many movies are peoples livelyhood and are not something as casuel or trivial as when people say it's only a movie. Between world wide boxoffice and home media sales it's come close to earning a billion dollars. 1,000,000,000.00. if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Aww, so considerate of you Joey. The crew of Man of Steel and The Hobbit are equally grateful for their livelihoods too and are grateful of your sensitivity and understanding Lee - who could have bought a couple of cheap movies on Amazon today but didn't because he doesn't even like them.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My comment was a response to Alex' post "A trip without merit."Not a commentary on the social or economical importance of blockbuster films.The new generation uses Inception and TDK as a standard to measure all other movies. AlexSo? the one before that held Jurassic Park and ID4 in high esteem. The generation before that loved Top Gun and Flashdance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Still haven't been able to make my mind up which is the worst out of Inception and Prometheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Prometheus is far far worse. Nothing in Inception felt like it's makers were personally insulting me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,362 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Prometheus is more harmless. Fans (if it has any) don't use it as a standard to measure all new films by. More insulting, yes, but far less dangerous. It's not gonna change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That's because Promethues never captured the attention or the imagination of the public.Inception is full of Nolan's indulgences, but it's a far better made film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,362 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 IMO, both are without merit. One of the things about Inception that puzzles me is that it's completely without imagination, which is weird for a movie about dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Does every film need to have merit Alex?Sometime the only reason you need to watch a film is that it entertains you.What is the merit of AvP? A film you have stated you enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,362 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The foam at the mouths of a zillion Nolan apostles (crocs is only one of them) warrants some kind of merit, IMO. It's not too much to ask, I think. Granted, some fans don't treat it as the second coming but many do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 But I don't buy films because of the merits other people describe to them.I bought Inception because when I rented it I enjoyed it, and 7 Euro's seems just right for it.I also bought Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows part 2 for that price btw, though I havent broken the seal so i can return it.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yes, but it's part 2. So basically I payed 7 Euro for half a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,362 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I hope Interstellar will be more about visuals and atmosphere again (the opposite of Inception). It's odd to me that Nolan is such a Kubrick fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 strangly Alex and I see eye to eye on Inception and Prometheus in that both films disappoint.However Prometheus disappointed me more because of it's heritage. I felt invested in it's potential success.both films are very good looking, and both decently acted. However both do not tell good stories, nor are those stories told well.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The Terminator Anthology and the Mad Max Trilogy sets are the Gold Box Deal of the Day on Amazon. $24.99 and $27.99 respectively.

The one I want less is the better deal.it's a good deal for 5 Terminator films, but I'm only interested in 1 & 2.I still haven't bought Terminator 2, which is among my 10 favourite films, in case a new remastered bluray comes up.The previous one wasn't perfect, and the -now expensive- Japanese release was much better.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I love the Mad Max films, so I ordered that set. Haven't seen them nearly as much as Terminator, and those films are still the same crappy transfers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,857 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 and those films are still the same crappy transfers anyway.What do you mean? Terminator has been remastered with supposedly excellent picture! (although no inclusion of the original audio track with the original audio effects).Unless you mean that that box-set includes the old Bluray of the first film.* * *still waiting for a good bargain of the Hitchcock collection. Maybe under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
