Unlike 99% of the audience, I was pleasantly surprised by The Phantom Menace. Of course, unlike 99% of the audience, I went in with virtually no expectations. While I had enjoyed New Hope, Empire and the first half of Jedi, I never fell into rabid fandom. And I assumed Lucas would be rusty since he hadn’t even…
I somehow blocked this movie’s existence from my memory.
“like the first Street Fighter film”
The logic behind that makes sense. Neither of us being psychologists, I guess we can't really assert how solid it is, but better to be safe than sorry. I understand the rationale better now. Thank you for that. Wait... Did something positive just happen in an Internet comments section? The end of the world must be…
How is specifying hanging any more of a trigger than just saying suicide, though? Not being snarky, I genuinely want to understand this better. I suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts and have no issue with hearing how he died. But I’ve been in therapy for 15 years, so I’m probably less at risk than many others…
“ don’t write the cause of death when covering suicides. It’s not particularly pertinent to the story”
John Cho. He's in it for like a minute. I didn't know that until I read "Best. Movie. Year. Ever."
Roger Ebert held up that scene as an example of how ridiculous the MPAA is. "You can have someone drinking shit but you can't have them saying 'shit.'"
I remember an interview with Gene Simmons where he blamed KISS fans for not coming out to see the film. Like he legitimately thought the KISS brand alone should've made it a box office success.
When it came out, a classmate of mine had an interesting observation. By throwing that dick flash at the end, Fincher was saying we're the children in the theater from earlier in the film that don't really understand what we're seeing.
I took a "Music In Film" class, and the professor pointed out that the piano score is completely in sync with Tom Cruise's footsteps, which is pretty insane and totally the type of thing Kubrick would do.
Also being forced to watch your wife make out with another guy over and over. While I'm sure anyone married to an actor/actress gets used to seeing their spouse make out with someone else on the screen, I imagine it must be a very different beast if you have to watch it in person for what was probably a hundred takes…
I guess I've just always been (and still am) a sucker for physical media. There's something about flipping through a CD booklet that can't be replicated through mp3s. Plus I could play CDs in my car and Discman, so anything I wanted to listen to often, I was going to buy.
I’ve always thought the lost CD sales due to Napster was a bit overstated. I realize this is anecdotal, but the music industry lost little to no money from me and my friends using Napster. The stuff we downloaded tended to fall into one of three categories: 1.) Stuff we would still go out and buy anyway, 2.) Stuff we…
Plus it has the pod race.
That scene is funnier if you saw the odd feud that had exploded on the message board of his website (I was a regular poster there back then). Smith had bashed Magnolia on his website, then suddenly all these new users kept popping up, vehemently defending the film and insulting every aspect of Smith. Then the worst of…
Remember Undertow? That was a badass album. Yeah, I wish they'd make another album like Undertow.
Who do they think they are? Guns N Roses?
They can call it Marvel+, to keep the whole + theme going.
