I haven’t seen Inherent Vice, but the unreliable narrator does work well when it is USED well and I think that is the problem. There are times when the concept is used simply because the story wasn’t all that great or the writer wrote himself into a corner and it was an easy way out. Memento is an excellent movie and…

You piques my curiosity, where can I find info on the original take for Passengers? I admit I liked it in an odd way as some of it was too CGI heavy, but the cast was enjoyable and I have rewatched it occasionally. It would have been interesting to see Chris Pratt as the bad guy, even though he still kind of was for…

I’ve had Valerian on my shelf for about two years and every time I reach for it, something stops me. I love Besson’s movies. Leon ( NOT the US The Professional) and The Fifth Element are two of my favorites ( I liked Lucy a lot, but the ending was a little off compared to the other 95% of the movie.) I was so looking…

I think Don Bluth was the animated representation of Orson Welles. Near genius but a complicated person and often their own worst enemies. In a perfect world, both should have been given the money to do what they wanted and we would have had some amazing movies in the end.

I’ve seen Mulholland Dr. and it is one f’’ed up movie. I cannot imagine how it could have been a TV series as was originally intended. What about Lost Highway?

No one wants to gamble on originality any more.

Now I need to see it. This is what a movie should be.

Many do not realize that most novelizations of major movies are based on the shooting script so sequences you read in them were either never shot or deleted in the final cut.( The longer Waterworld IS so much better. Glad they finally released it on Blu Ray.) A few examples of other novelizations that some believe…

The Twitter trolls are getting lazy. They saw the old photo hooded person and figured KKK. Even Wikipedia is correct enough to find the basic facts before releasing a story.

I think a lot of people need to apologize about Mother’s Day and it has nothing to do about race.

I truly think though that without the Wii U, we would not have the switch. There is a direct connection that I doubt the one would not have been made without the other. My son has had one for a few years and positively loves it. He has taught himself how to code by modifying levels an a few of his Mario games by…

Aren’t some of these too old to bring to trial or was the law updated at some point?

It depends. In the US It’s life of the author plus 70 years. (Somewhat insane in my view.) In the UK anything not published as of a 1989 law are protected until 2039. The Beatles released some unreleased 1963 era tracks in 2013 exclusively on iTunes for a brief time so that they would receive the full 70 years…

Many people of that generation did not watch old movies, let alone black and white old movies. Colorization was thankfully a brief attempt to get older films back in the mainstream, but as my high school English teacher replied to someone in class when asked why they simply could not translate Shakespeare to modern…

Flop now is a subjective term. Both Waterworld and Hudson Hawk were considered flops yet both made money. Waterworld made nearly $265 million at the box office alone. Hudson Hawk took a little longer but by the mid 90's everyone eligible for profit percentage was getting checks. Pacific Rim and Indiana Jones and the…

Maybe DePalma would have done it better. Nearly his entire career has been considered against Hitchcock so it would have been interesting to see how they would have done against each other with the same story.

Cats!!!??? Were drugs and/or alcohol involved in that choice?

The biggest issue with modern cruise ships it simply that they are TOO big. It was one thing when you have a ship with a maximum passenger capacity of around of around 1,300. It was a job, but the ship could be cleaned and prepped for the next sailing within 8 hours or so. Modern ships are now carrying over 2-6,000…

The stage is flat as glass. LA streets, far from it.
