The bar scene, where the music is so loud they have to use subtitles, is also great. And also for the twin peaks displayed during it.
Middle section slows things down waaaay too much, but the beginning section is amazing, and the energy picks back up towards the end. And then they kill the regained good will with the monkey driving the car scenes over the end credits. What the fuck?
Fuck yeah. Rob Roy is criminally underseen. Jessica Lange wading into the ocean and screaming at the man not to tell her husband she's just been raped made my girlfriend at the time burst into tears. And that made the sword fight at the end so much better. I love Tim Roth's little look as Liam Neeson grabs the sword…
The movie won me over with just that scene. I wanted to see the Owl Ship done right, and dammit, they did. If the rewritten ending hadn't been so tacked on, I think the film might have worked.
I actually think that, all the physics aside, once the chase sequence begins in the back third of The Black Hole, which also means the rolling asteroid bit, the film's pacing picks up a lot of steam, and the weird production design actually makes it interesting to watch. But the dialogue and characters are pretty bad,…
No, the War Chief is not The Master. Absolutely not. That out of the way, this story is one of the greats, and just when it starts to drag a bit, Philip Madoc shows up in Ep. 6 and blows everyone off the screen, with one of the best performances in the show's history.
Damn. Danger Mouse was amazing at times.
Spoiler alert on one of these, the other's already been discussed here:
Yeah, The future-retro look is really cool, and it gets rid of the "oooh, that doesn't look good" distracting moments from the story. And they kept the look for the new series Dalek ships.
War Machines. That's the one you should watch. As pointed out above, it's one of the more important stories just in terms of approach, and is the first serial (besides the first story and the end of The Chase), that takes place in the-then current time period.
Obviously, that's difficult because most of the non-original crew stories were scrapped. 'The Ark" is pretty good — with limitations, but most of The Tenth Planet is available, along with a pretty good reconstruction of the missing final episode. The three surviving episodes of The Dalek Master Plan are all really…
Aside from the actual creation of the Daleks, Terry Nation was shit. Almost *all* his stories are exactly the same, they have very little creativity and lots of logic loopholes that even the strongest of his scripts — Genesis of the Daleks — can't quite overcome. I'm surprised you don't mention the best part of the…
Yeah, but that last season of B7 is horrible — except for the last episode. Before that, it had some great moments and a nice pace to it, but that last season was thrown together and crap, for the most part.
Oh, they hyped the hell out of this one. Everyone knew they were coming. They even had a cartoon strip story to set it up.
Nothing new to say: brilliant, underrated, moving, beautiful, intelligent, quirky, surreal…Amazing how my life became so much better the first time I picked up Gotta Let This Hen Out! and then bought everything I could get my hands on by him. God Bless The Man.
I was waiting for someone to quote Preacher.
My God, yes. I can't imagine any college/alternative rock fan *not* having a crush on her.
Now welcome folks, and I'm sure you'd like to know
We're at the start of one big circus show
There are acts that are cool and acts that will amaze…
Yeah, that's a really good one.
