Re: BEETLEJUICE 2 Confirmed By Danny Elfman
No. Just no. I'm sooooo tired of the way "way too late/way after the fact/bring out the fossils" sequelitis. I think I hate this even more than prequelitis and that's saying something. This is at least 20 years too late. With you 100%. What's next? Breakfast Club 40-Year High School Reuni...

Re: Neil Armstrong Movie Airbrushes History
A movie that nobody saw and was very quickly forgotten by those who saw it pretty much. That is one other thing about the current pop culture -- if nobody finds it straightaway, nobody is going to. There isn't even a $5 dump in at Walmart for these to sit in anymore. Unsuccessful movies are basical...

Re: Neil Armstrong Movie Airbrushes History
Instead getting things done like I should be today, I've been perusing old threads.
I had completely forgotten First Man even existed! Yet another example of how forgettable most movies (especially "Oscar bait" flicks) have become in the past 20 years.

Did you all skip the Oscars telecast too?
I didn't see any posts about the winners, so I'm assuming that (like me) no one else bothered this year? I saw only two of the Best Picture nominees ( Barbie and Oppenheimer ), and I didn't think Barbie was the least-bit worthy of a nomination. I haven't even heard of some of the other movies. And T...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Napoleon (6/10) I keep hoping for one final masterpiece from the director of Blade Runner , (or at least one more really outstanding effort on the level of The Duelists , or Alien ). Well, Napoleon isn't that film. The picture for the most part looks terrific, but the script is under par. It might ...

See I think there was totally a point to those gratuitous scenes!
Well...I can't argue with that!

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Oppenheimer (8/10) I wasn't sure I'd like this movie -- I've found Christoper Nolan's films very hit and miss (and his body of work generally overpraised). But with Oppenheimer , Nolan has fashioned an excellent picture that provides insight into a very compelling -- and important -- series of hist...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Highlander: Endgame -- in glorious DVD! (6.5/10) Yeah, I know, "why did you watch this ?" I bought the DVD to send to a friend of mine who loved the Highlander TV series (and also enjoyed the original film), and I figured it's a used disc anyway, why not just "make sure it isn't defe...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
Zimmer has become a parody of himself.
And I see he's dragged out that electric cellist again, who of course got where she is on musical talent -- it had nothing to do with her looks or provocative selfies...

Re: AMADEUS 4K Theatrical Version Finally Ready For Release
YAY!!!!
I absolutely detest the expanded version of this film. Yes, a few scenes are interesting and revealing, but they mostly just slow the film down. There is about half an hour of extra footage in the expanded cut, isn't there?
UHD disc to follow, I assume?

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
That may well be true. I wasn’t saying he isn’t.
What I am getting at is that he should concentrate more on the visual storytelling, instead of talking our ear off with boring, interminable dialog scenes which do nothing to advance the narrative.

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd
^^ Well, in a way, I agree with him -- in a technical sense. Cinema is, after-all, visual storytelling, and the less a movie is reliant on dialog to tell its story, the more purely "cinematic" it is. Of course that doesn't mean "less dialog=better movie" -- A Man For All Seasons ...

Re: HORIZON: Costner's two-part western epic
Shame it's John Debney scoring this but what can you do, pickings are slim. Wish Costner had offered this to Bruce Broughton, or James Newton Howard (who did a killer score to Wyatt Earp ). Still, it ain't a Zimmer Drone. True. But I re-watched The Passion again last year, and I have to say the sco...
