Stupid argument is stupid.

People WANT to like the DC movies, but they keep making mediocre-at-best movies. The first two Nolan Batman movies are pretty much universally adored. Then came The Dark Knight Rises...

Then Man of Steel...

Then BvS:Yawn of Justice...

Marvel has a proven track record and while not all of them…

OK, so I’m not saying I think this is gonna be a bad movie (I really don’t), but basically this exact thing, the early release, hugely positive response thing... The same thing happened with BvS.

“Look at the amount of revenue taken in by the industry in the 80’s compared to today as one metric.”

1) if you’ve got more credible sources, I’ll be happy to read them

I wouldn’t mind a remastered version either, as long as they included the original as well.

I could live with a Remastered Edition, like what they did with Star Trek TOS. That was pretty much perfect, imo.

If seeing the 1984 film was his first memory as a human being, we probably should not expect him to have detailed firsthand memories of the video game culture of the time. Better fact-checking would be in order, though.

Among all my friends, if someone ever exasperatedly asks “What do we do now?” all we have to do is mime the little monocle flip, and everyone knows exactly what’s being referenced.

The Last Starfighter has my favorite character ever in it. Flippy Monocule Guy.

Narratively, the idea of a video game being a secret recruiting tool for a huge military operation is something that seems way more appropriate now, 30 years later, than it did in 1984. At that time, video games were popular but were a few years from really exploding in a mainstream way.

Finn kills a lot of his friends - As Finn and Poe escape the Finalizer, Finn blasts lots of other Stormtroopers away. Aren’t those his friends?

That’s why I refer to them by they’re other name, “wheelie boards.”

THEY DON’T EVEN HOVER

I’m in the same boat. Wife gone for the night, friends all out of town, nothing to do.

But it is a great theme and has the beautiful understated visuals that while a little dated are still wonderful. As the title is Favorite opening credits rather than most original or greatest music, I’m keeping it in there.

Should Jaws really be there? I mean sure it went over budget, but “disastrously” implies that it was ultimately a failure.

Not only did it boost ratings but also got a very good spin-off all of its own.

I was a young adult in the '60s; I was there. We stopped because it was never about exploring the moon; it was only ever about beating the Russians. At anything. They kept telling everyone that communism was better than capitalism, then doing amazing things like Sputnik and Gagarin's epic flight. The space race was…

But we know why! Patrick Dempsey's father cooked the books to convince NASA it was too expensive to go back and as he was the only accountant they had, they believed him, all to push the Decepticons' evil plan 40 years later!
