Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I agree! It's the only time that's been done with Star Wars. You could edit a lot of that material into a great atmospheric playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike his smaller films, Lynch couldn't oversee every aspect. And yes, then there's Dino, who also can be a pain in the a$$. Dino could be a pain in the a$$, but Lynch dealt mostly with Rafaella. I still maintain that, thanks to some superlative technicians around him (Ringwood, Francis, Splet, Masters, Gibbs) and an outstanding cast, Lynch did a bang-up job!

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Someday I will watch An American Tail without tears streaming down my face when Fievel's family realizes he's alive, and then are reunited with him. Today was not that day. Funny thing is how close he is to them most of the movie. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Dune, but only the first half The first and probably last time I ever use a Laserdisc player. I only watched the first half because the media center in the library closed, but I've already seen Dune so whatever. I really love the aesthetic in this movie. I think it fits very well (unlike the SciFi mini series). The soundtrack is good even though the whole thing is pretty much the same four notes. The Andromeda Strain It was alright, but I hate biology so the film kinda irked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Went and finished Dune. The second half is far worse than the first half. The pacing becomes way too quick. The stuff that made the book what it was is all cut out like the omnipresence of the Bene Gesserit and the fact that nothing was actually supernatural. It's still pretty decent by itself, but it could be so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The sequel is brilliant in its campiness though. With wonderfully rubbish CGI. And Kurt Russel somehow always manages to look cool and badass. Genuine article, that one. Though it lacks Adrienne Barbeau and her impressive cleavage. The best homage to 60's exploitation film making possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Westworld is a recognizable name. It's sold as a remake or reimajining of a movie by a modern classic author. Calling it something else would muddy the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's barely any explanation as to why the machines suddenly start malfunctioning (well, there's some sort of vague explanation, but not much). In itself, that's not a huge problem, but I do wish we had been given more info about the park, the machines... As it is, it feels like you're given the bare minimum in terms of presentation of the universe. Perhaps Crichton also found it underdeveloped and that's why he later rewrote it with dinosaurs.

Yep, very engrossing 70's sci-fi. Alvar, arent you selling the movie short by comparing it too closely to the TV show? Nowadays we live in an age where everything is explained ad nauseum. I call it Nolan's disease. That wasnt so much the case back then. Did Kubrick explain why HAL started to malfuntion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Home Alone. Finally managed to watch this one after five years of peer pressure and it was well worth the wait. Fun movie, if a little sentimental sometimes. And what a lovely score! I must say that, after listening to Zimmer's Batman trilogy, this score was THE perfect 'antidote'. Finally an orchestra that was actually DOING something! The 'Somewhere in my Memory' orchestral versions made me shiver all over. Absolutely stunning. I'm officially in Christmas mode now.

And it's by far Michael Douglas' best performance ever. Perhaps the same goes for Matt Damon, but it's Douglas as Liberace who impresses the most. As I was watching, I kept on asking myself "Who made this?" I am now a Steven Soderbergh fan. You got to see Rob Lowe in this ...
