A24 4,346 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 When Hur watches his mother and sister living amongst the lepers ... the music, Heston's face in great pain, the dramatics, .... it went on forever! The race is still good though ... At least the film has a scene like the race scene. Spartacus only has the "I am Spartacus" scene as a highlight.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Then you're probably looking forward to the remake of Ben-Hur due out later this month, which from the trailer is nothing but the race and sea battles and Romans fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,346 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I doubt that the CGI race scene will be more spectacular. Anyway, I will never know since I have zero interest to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult Still not as funny as the first two movies, but there's still plenty of belly laughs. The beginning is shaky, but the climax at the Academy Awards ceremony makes it worth it. I mean, Leslie Nielson fighting Raquel Welch for the Best Picture envelope and Pia Zadora with a tuba on her head. Still funnier than the shit parodies that came out several years ago.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wonder what the blue screen was supposed to fill in though. Not a starfield I think. Because the exterior of the Collector seems to be fully enclosed. Did they run out of time to such an extent they could not have filled it in with a grey background?

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I watched The Little Prince, which premiered today on Netflix (forgoing a theatrical release). It was a pleasant, well-animated and well-scored film with a nice (albeit familiar) message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 3 hours ago, Stefancos said: Same here. Ditto. It never takes me out of the film, not like the gas cylinder in Gladiator. But I might need to rewatch it. We finished TNG months ago, watched Generations months ago. I recently remember Ben Sisko's dad referencing the Borg scare in Homefront and Paradise Lost, but that's an codger remembering the incursion after Wolf 359. Point is, I could take a break for that movie, then watch Insurrection, and see how I feel about the collector's blue windows again. Possibly in Season 5 once the DS9 crew gets the First Contact uniforms. Indeed: The placement of Star Trek: First Contact is somewhat conjectural, based upon trying to reconcile a stardate that would place it towards the very end of the year (right around DS9: "Children of Time") with a passing reference to the events of the movie in DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow". As there was no reference to the Klingon-Federation conflict of the 2370s, best estimates would place First Contact after the cease fire enacted in "Apocalypse Rising" but before the reinstatement of the Khitomer Accords in "By Inferno's Light" and also prior to the events of "Soldiers of the Empire", as Worf can be seen in First Contact to still be wearing the House of Mogh emblem on his sash and not theHouse of Martok's.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Star Trek: Nemesis It's a stinker, yes. I think what save it for me are the space battle and Jerry Goldsmith score. Plus, Star Trek. For what it's worth, while the dune buggy chase gets a ton of flack, that scene would be right at home in the new movies, which everyone loves.

All in all, his best work might just turn out to be the 2012 Olympics. His best film? Easy. "Shallow Grave", but "Born Slippy" fits "Trainspotting" like nothing I've ever heard! Sublime!
