Ugh. I'm not even on the chart anymore.

"While I admit that I am more nitpicky about sword-fighting in movies because of it, you said yourself that once it was pointed out to you, you noticed the same thing. I am just familiar enough with the subject to notice it without the slow-mo."

Agreed. Of course, anyone wishing to disprove evolution ought to consider looking in Oklahoma...

Maybe it's just because I have a background in sword fighting and fencing

I know! Stupid, right? Hugo Weaving brought nothing to the role.

I suppose we're just of two minds on the subject. For me, I saw a starship take off at the end of the movie; and while I've never actually seen a starship, I understand the concept. I am well versed in fictional faster-than-light space travel. I understand the fictional technologies of warp drives and hyperspace.

But the aliens and the flying saucer WERE ancient, and were buried. That's well within the purview of an archaeologist of the early 20th century.

Transformers failed on a couple of levels. The first was the fact that Bay concentrated most of his character development on the human characters, rather than on the transformers. For instance, the enmity and bitter rivalry between Prime and Megatron is never really explored. He made the right move getting Peter

World War Z (the book) would have been better served as a miniseries- perhaps on one of the premium networks where they can create the story unhindered by censorship issues. You could make each chapter into a standalone episode. If it was successful, you could expand the story into new seasons by telling the stories

I understand how one could accept the alien thing as being an homage to the scifi classics of the 50s, much as the earlier Indys were homages to the adventure serials of the 30s and 40s. I personally didn't care for it myself, especially when you consider that they were the Roswell aliens, which is soooo overdone.

Yeah, except for that time in Raiders when he was in the biplane and had to hold on to it...

I had a lot of problems with Indy 4. The first is the fact that they went all sci-fi. Indy's adventures delve into the supernatural, not sci fi. And the aliens! Good Lord, they used Roswell aliens- the single most overused scifi cliche of over the last two decades. That's what they waited almost 20 years for?

Now playing

I disagree. The first time I saw Phantom Menace, I didn't pick up on any of that. The only way it looks like they aren't trying to hit each other is when you look at it in slow motion like this nitpicky asshole:

There's no way a stormtrooper has that kind of accuracy.

You'd think that since it's been in public domain for years, someone would have made the attempt. They've remade other classics from the era; The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, etc. They ought to do it- it

The sad part is, this is the house it looks out on to:

There's a bathroom. Well, it's more like a toilet in a closet, but you can take a leak if you need to.
