i felt the same way

his taking to the gopro cameras so much was a little contrived, but i get how it works as a plot device

also lol @ china cooperating with the us on something like that

guess it's an intentionally optimistic version of the future though

did you see gravity? it's the complete opposite, where the peril feels very real the entire time

no, I really should see that

I like sandra bullock too, she's very watchable

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 05:32:45 pm

she was really good in demolition man

that's a good film actually, doesn't get enough credit, I think people just see snipes and stallone and prejudge it but it's a cleverer script than your average dumb 90s action film

:( I wanna see a good movie. This year has been a dud for movies (and games). I hope they didn't ruin star wars. I really need that movie to be good.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Fury Road came out this year so it was actually the best year for movies.

Also Star Wars will be awful cause JJ Abrams and also Star Wars.

i have no interest in the new star wars movie ... i've never really liked star wars though so that's probably why

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 08:24:34 pm

i wouldn't say I have no interest but I'm not going to go out of my way to see it

same situation as halo 5 in fact

i think star wars is one of those generational things again, you had to be an 80s kid to really get into it because there just wasn't anything else like it

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 08:26:41 pm

of course george lucas did a lot of urinating onto it later on which doesn't help

BioSpark

is it really an 80s thing? seems like people my age are going apeshit for some reason

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 08:48:54 pm

i dunno it just seems like it would have the most impact on the people who saw it when it came out, I mean a lot of the appeal was in the special effects and stuff, it was also a science fiction action film at a time when nobody was making films like that but its success meant that suddenly everyone was doing it (its success was the reason we started getting star trek films)

but those sorts of films are more common now

maybe I'm wrong

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 08:53:20 pm

i suppose the prequels opened it up to a new generation of fans, although why anyone would particularly get into those films is beyond me

BioSpark

2015-10-22 08:54:24 pm

yeah i dunno. they're the same people who went crazy for the dark knight movies, which i don't care for

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 08:55:46 pm

no I think I like the 1989 batman movie the best

BioSpark

2015-10-22 08:56:31 pm

i think people nowadays confuse big budgets with quality

or high production value, rather
