As a teenager, I would often sleep really late on Saturday mornings, and my Dad would usually have some sort of yard work for me, usually mowing the lawn, so he was always somewhat impatient for me to finally get out of bed. Sometimes, because my father was also a Dune fan, I would shout down from my room, "FATHER!!!…
:) Yeah! I was actually kind of surprised to read that you've had people try to convince you that Lynch's Dune sucks, because all of my geek friends, most of whom have also read the novels, totally love it just as much as me. We quote it to each other almost as frequently as Star Wars...
My main complaints about the SyFy version (I spelled it "Sci Fi" earlier, because back then they still spelled it that way, lol) are the following:
For what it's worth, I love the Lynch Dune as well! (And I've read all the original novels three times.) While I fully admit it takes some huge liberties with the source material, and strays pretty far from the book's plot at times, it's still a phenomenal movie in and of itself. It seriously angers me when people say…
"What I do have, however, is ten years of film festival programming experience and final approval of genre films." Suuuuuuuuurrrrrrrre. I totally believe you, and it never crossed my mind that you were lying to make yourself look special. LOL (See how easy it is to simply dismiss an anonymous stranger's claims…
My friend Stormi helped create this!! It's just a few blocks from my apartment, and it's AWESOME!!
Yeah, because those guys are so scientific and aren't completely invalidated by a tremendous amount of confirmation bias. :)
I also tried to find the clip where he brings the grail out to his dying father, who takes a gulp of the water, just before Indy pours the remainder on the wound. But I couldn't find the clip on YouTube. But I can assure you, they both drink.
Hmmmm, that's interesting considering that I have had films accepted to numerous festivals. And I'm not sure what logic a person would use to conclude that because a person has a differing opinion about TWOK, that somehow they'd be unpleasant to "deal with" at a film festival. Oh wait, you're an insufferable twit, that…
Oh!!!! I never caught that rule. Touché. Then airplane raft I say, airplane raft... :)
Toto scored Dune. Vangelis scored Bladerunner.
I loved Crystal Skulls. It beats the hell out of Temple of Doom. You know what's hilarious? The fact that so many haters who fall over themselves to bash Crystal Skulls usually cite the same couple items: nuking the fridge, and aliens. They have problems with those things, but somehow jumping out of an airplane in a…
It must be so exhausting going through every single day just seeking out things to get all angry about. Nobody who's as psychologically well-adjusted as you claim to be would pen such an epic tome as the one I just skimmed over before getting bored by the same old "indignant über-nerd" tropes. Who would have expected…
I was not insulting you, I was insulting something you did. There's a big difference; sorry you got a bunch of sand in your vag about it.
In-universe explanation: In Ep. 2, we see the massive droid factories on Geonosis, and it's clear why the battle droids' heads are the way they are: they're clearly based on the geonosians. The geonosians had a large role in their development.
I never began a comment with the phrase, "Studies show that..." then conveniently failed to cite the study... "LOL" indeed.
Citations? No? I didn't think so...
So what? You asked a question, I answered it easily, with extra credit, which you conveniently failed to address...
