I thought Minority Report was a failure as a film. The character in the book realises that because he has access to the reports as they come out, his knowledge of each one in relation to him changes the next one and creates the illusion of an error. Someone was exploiting that flaw to try and take down the system.

I've heard of people who saw That 70's Show first change their opinion of Kurtwood Smith's character being all talk and no action to Clarence being in witnesses protection and just being able to pull himself back from the brink just before straight up murdering someone.

Cordelia: "This is great. There's an unkillable demon in town, Angel's joined his team, the Slayer is a basket case… I'd say we've hit bottom."

That post wasn't really intended for you. (Plus I did actually read it when I was 14. for whatever that's worth.)

I was … actually still able to read that without translation software. Thank you (I will hit the books once again, one day.)

Ronin, the film which kills Sean Bean …. 's lines as he said Robert DeNiro stole as many of his as he could get his hands on. Maybe that's why the entire arc of Sean Bean's character in the movie is such a question mark as a result.

That was a bit different with Robocop 3. The company went bankrupt, it was stuck in a vault somewhere for some time, someone bought the assets (presumably for knockdown prices) and whatever release was just trying to recoup anything they could on their investment.

“Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.”

I figured there was a widening gap in my ever decaying Japanese education that I was going to be poleaxed with and there you have it.

To be fair to them, maybe they used the quote from the movie with attribution to also review it. Maybe I'm remembering it all wrong. It's from more than two decades since I read something on a movie I never saw, so the buck stops with me.

I'm not seeing how you get "Jagaimo" out of what I wrote there (that's stretching more than Mr Fantastic …)

The movie was all right but the book which I read first, between the text and my imagination was downright haunting.

4. Character may not have actually been on Mars and instead had been seeing what he expected to see on Mars and that includes the atmospheric effects on an unprotected human body (cue *Twilight Zone music*)

I love how this comment section is also turning into a discussion of Paul Verhoeven. How many directors are there where we can name so many of his films (US made and other) without having to look them up?

FLESH AND BLOOD

Bruce Willis was excellent in The Sixth Sense and especially Twelve Monkeys. I wish he'd done more roles like that.

… but do go to the Red Dawn review of the original here and see how

Your reply worked better when it just said "Yes" IMO.

… has just been revoked!

A film critic here at the time (Australia) described it as like masturbating with a cheese grater. Painful but slightly humourous.
