We can get a full tv series based on this story, yet can't get Half-Life 3?

How does this all tie in to the poster of the minotaur?

Is that the one where they decided to turn the SR-71, the serendipitous meeting of the best of human ingenuity with the best of 20th century engineering style, into a cranky old bearded robot who walked with a cane?

They're both awful narrative/artistic messes, but I still have to give Armageddon the edge in shittiness because it's one of the few Bay films that also LOOKS terrible. No matter how bad his movies are (and oh, brother…) they are usually at least visually striking. Even the two Transformer movies I've seen at least…

I'm not a fan of "Deep Impact" overall, but next to Armageddon, it's a lost Kubrick masterpiece. The characters are well-established (though mostly kinda dull,) the various narratives are paced well with each other, and pretty much everything that happens in space is excellent (especially, of course, that conversation…

I'll go to bat for Who Am I, as well. It's second-tier Chan, but the story is solid enough, Chan's charm carries plenty of weight, and that fight scene is tons of fun ("kick guy" felt derivative of "Drunken Master II," but by the time Chan worked his way over to the parallel I-beams, all was forgiven.)

Keep in mind that Armageddon was Bay's first movie after The Rock. Now try to imagine my nauseating levels of disappointment while watching that POS opening weekend in 1998. It had no narrative drive, no functioning plot beyond ("stop asteroid") and it just would not end.

Like Kirkman's zombie series, it starts with about three really good years, then settles into a repeating cycle of themes/events ad nauseum.

It had to have been a HUGE influence on PT Anderson for "The Master." Upon reflection, it almost seems like all that Scientology hoodoo was getting in the way of what Anderson really wanted to explore.

I imagine the nuclear bombs were given only minor discussion because the series wasn't about WWII, it was about those five filmmakers and their work & experiences in WWII. If one or more of them had filmed footage of the lead-up, execution, or aftermath of those two attacks, I have no doubt they would have gotten more…

You'd better be going somewhere with this, counselor.

As I got older, I came to assume that both Jack and Larry hooked up with Lana from time to time.

Also: holy shit, Monique Gabrielle.

One of my favorite A-Team moments was when they team shoots down a helicopter, and the bad guy's henchmen stumble out of the wreckage as if they'd simply fallen off their bikes.

Genuinely apples and oranges.

Noel hits on something crucial here: Three's Company was basically a kids' show. Sure, adults watched it too, but they enjoyed its proudly immature sensibilities. Three's Company was basically what kids of the 70s and 80s imagined sex was like, the same way The A-Team was what we imagined being in the army was like.

He was a solid actor of a different time, when screen presence and oration were given more weight than something like method actors' ability to "disappear" into a character. The 60s were a tipping point for these contrasts, with people like Heston and Shatner on one side, and Brando and John Cassavetes on the other.…

It's a distinctly, aggressively modern sound for a character whose entire being is tied to an old-world, lost-in-time theme. She may as well pause before each fight to put on a pair of Ray Bans and say, "let's do this."

It's 12 seconds of sped-up dirge with a hint of metal that has nothing to do with the characters classical origins or the film's early-20th century settings. Naturally, fools are eating it up across the internet.

Agreed. Reviews of Batman/Superman after the initial test screenings were overwhelmingly good, then the second wave of critic/press screenings happened and its score plummeted.
