I saw the 2016 reboot yesterday and decided it was time to return to the original. Many people have slated the new film - it cant' match the original - it can't work with women - blah blah blah - etc. Guess what, the 1984 movie is not perfect. Its very much of its time, the special effects are variable, it isn't as funny as you remember. Return to the film and you might agree - we remember the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the demon dogs, the library ghost - all with affection. But it is rose-tinted and not as good as remembered. For its time though, it is a good film, but it does not warrant the classic status that the 2016 Ghostbuster haters are making it out to be. There is room in the world for both movies and for the record... I kinda prefer the new film.
Bless Jessica Chastain we don't deserve her
There is no way you feel emphathy for those astronauts because they are dumb as fuuuuuuuuuuuck
It started so good.... and then it got so clichéed and bad :( They could have done it a way too show them as sociopaths (because I suspect they were), and made them slowly have to deal with the consequences. Anyway, I was fine with dealing with the romance part (oh no! i have feelings!) and predictable love story... But was the car crash thing necessary? It seemed sooo contrived. Besides, I feel like he never got enough punishment... Yes he changed but he was still an asshole in the first part of the movie, so pushing the fault over to the sister in the end seemed really cheap! So I really LOVED the first part (manipulation, adressing double standards re. sexism and a lil of the racism that a lot of rich white people have) and then it sorta ended pftttttttttttttt.... They should've played up that "thriller" part, it had potential!
Nice episode, with a strong finale. What i hate is, they've changed the intro... But they kept the scene with those 2 licking each other over an ice cream. It makes me vomit
With everything else that was going on Laurel's dad had Wes killed? Seriously? Isn't that a tad too telenovela?
This episode was really disappointing for me. Not a strong finish. But then again, this whole season was kind of a mess. I guess the writers are running out of ideas of how to keep everyone out of jail when they keep killing more people every season.
this movie made me a lesbian
I'm giving it a 10 because of the beautiful last scene. So elegant and well executed. Though the episode and the second half of the season were all over the place and the characters made no sense and I really didn't like it...I kept watching because it always delivered something no other show on tv has (and Fuller always gives me), and that's the cinematographic quality. And that last scene had it all.
Excuse me sir, sir could you please not eat the artwork?
They actually had Freddie call them murder husbands?! I love this show.
always glad to see hannibal get the shit beat outta him
well im 99.99% sure that Fraink didnt do it, watched this show for far too long to believe anything the characters say or do.
"In all honesty, I prefer long-form television to the movies. It's so much more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home." Wink wink
This was such a good, happy episode. It actually warmed my heart to see the children safe and comfortable, if only for a short while. Stephano was absolutely hilarious with his accent and papers that had Count Olaf's information on the other side.
I like that the opening theme changes a bit as we go from one book to the next.
It's cool that we get to see the children's parents. In the books, we never actually found out if they were alive or not, there were little hints that pointed to the former, but we couldn't be sure. Here, we finally have a confirmation.
Did she just kiss him ? Really ?
Oh wait, not finished here. I'm writing this as its ongoing. SHE SLEPT WITH HIM.
Solid but could have been better. As a massive fan of the original movie I have to say this one did not quite live up to expectations. I am particularly dissapointed in director Antoine Fuqua. This has not been his finest hour. I realize an assembly movie is hard to do because basically 2/3 of the movie consists of the assembly of the team which does not help to drive a plot, but there have been movies where that has been done far better and by less accomplished directors. Avengers did it quite well for example. Here the pacing was off. After establishing the premise in the beginning it loses a lot of steam while collecting the 6 other main characters. That being said the epic gun fight in the end makes up for a lot if not all of it. Still the fact that the movie stumbles in the middle part is somewhat surprising even more so because it was actually done well in 1960. I give it a solid 7/10.
The fanservice came back but I don't even care. Somehow the animation actually conveyed the difference between the two Yuris' performances. That, in itself, is amazing.
The Imitation Game was a fairly typical and good biopic, even if it did stray a lot from the reality of the events. Turing definitely wasn't the lone wolf who single-handedly cracked Enigma he's portrayed as being, and was in fact supported by thousands of people, with many playing integral roles that don't even get mentioned in the movie. Most of the dramatic conflicts in the movie are just completely made up, with the real Turing being well-liked by his colleagues, not being so in the closet, not having issues with his superiors, never being threatened with getting fired, having entirely different bookends to his relationship with his fiancee and a far less "simple" end to his life. In fact, Joan Clarke never experienced such pressure from her parents and women in Bletchley Park outnumbered men four to one, so a major part of her role was practically fiction and just "hurr, women had it so tough back then" which, while it was indeed the case, isn't something that this particular story should be representing.
Of course, this is a dramatic movie so it does make sense to have some artistic liberties taken but at this point the entire movie's "based on a true story" only so far as its plot synopsis is accurate. In adapting it to a movie, there were also a number of unconvincing contrivances and convenient coincidences to move the plot along, with your typical chance happening causing a eureka moment, as well as entirely downplaying his homosexuality, presumably to appeal to a larger (older) audience. Now, excusing all the historical inaccuracies and keeping in mind it is meant to be just a movie, it's still enjoyable. Cumberbatch is fantastic, even though Turing's personality is largely exaggerated, and the rest of the cast are good too, even if the story doesn't care about any of them. Desplat's score's great as usual and there was a surprising number of comedic moments which I wasn't expecting at all from the promotional material. There was too much repetition of aphorisms and wink wink casual mentions of things that had happened earlier in the movie which all seemed pretty forced. If you're okay with biopics completely misrepresenting their historical figures, it's a pretty good movie.
Made me dream, made me wonder, made me think. Great commentary on the path dependency of modern society, making a strong case to escape civilization and live life more freely and adventurous. Also a great reminder that "happiness is only real when shared".
Great episode, things are moving a nice pace. Wish they stop killing off the Direwovles though , that was hard to watch and especially to listen too.
In a show with so many characters, one of the most emotional deaths was the guy with one word of dialogue. That's why Game of Thrones is so great.
Seeing Jon and Sansa reuniting was so satisfying ^_^ Sansa has matured a lot. Brienne actually made it in time for once xD
Loved the ending. Danny with her usual coming out of the fire naked, looking badass xD
You all are complaining about Grey Worm but WHAT ABOUT SER BARRISTAN? HE WAS A NICE MAN, WHYYYYYYY!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!1
WTF???
NO GREY WORM!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
THOSE BASTARDS ARE GONNA GO AFTER KHALEESI.
Jamie and Bronn together are hilarious! His face when he realised how useful his fake hand could be...priceless! Grey Worm noooooo!
Nada tiene ningún valor para un hombre muerto.
I had my hearth on my throat during the whole episode!! AMAZING!
I was spoiled for it a long time ago, but that didn't make that ending any less satisfying. Bwahhahaha.
Omg best ending ever!!! Finally!
