I've always thought that 12 Monkeys was pretty internally logical and consistent movie with respect to it's time travel. I was going to include Slaughterhouse Five, but upon reflection it doesn't seem to me to involve time travel so much as someone living their life out of order.
I have to say I was pretty unimpressed with the show. It seemed to have a hard time moving forward, repeating itseelf time and again. I dunno, it just seemed awfully dumbed down, even for me (not a physicist by any stretch)
Not so much frightening, but it always sends a shiver down my spine, from Leon Norman Stansfield: Bring me everyone. Benny: What do you mean "everyone"? Norman Stansfield: EVERYONE!
The movie reminded of Aeon Flux especially the scene with everyone lying around dead or dying in the restaurant. Seemed to me the movie was just a live actioon anime, entertaining, but not that special.
I finally got to see this movie and I think it was oversold, but it is still a quality film. I don't want to re-hash arguments that are now over a week old, but I do have a question. The cinematography is excellent for the most part, yet there is a lot of what i would call "flaring" of the...
You know that if they weren't releasing the TV shows there would be a whole separate group wondering where those were. Studios clearly are allocating there dollars and other resources to those projects they consider most economical. I love classic movies but I don't for a second believe they are...
OK, now that LOTR:FOTR has been released, what announced title are you most looking forward to?
For me it is Ken Burns' Civil War, followed by Glengarry Glen Ross
I pretty much agree, except I don't think it is fair to criticize people for not doing their "research". They are buying a DVD, not a car or a house. They get their Sunday supplement and see that Best Buy has Lord of the Rings this week, $15.99. Hey, I think I'll get that. I know a lot of people...
Tim, Great article. I had just watched EOS, again, and I had this nagging feeling that there was something about it that seemed, well, at the time weird, but I think now I would say dreamlike. A great movie.
You realize that some of you folks sound INSANE!:D
Now what is this $10 rebate for after 8/6 deal? I was planning on just waiting for the 4-disc version, but if there is some sort of rebate I might pick up the 2-disc version.
Anyway, why aren't we talking about the real important release on...
I lost count of how many times I did it, something like ten times. Didn't miss a single question, although I did guess on the one about the Naturalization form. I got 5/9 in the Canada quiz.
Overall, i enjoyed the movie, I laughed a lot, and that is all I wanted out of it, even if a lot of it was re-treading old material. I thought the subtitles jokes, where you couldn't read part of the subtitle, was one of the more original ideas of AP3. Was I the only one who thought that in...
Basically, if iti s a multi-disc set but you can buy the discs separately (i.e. Monty Python's Flying Circus) then I count the individual discs. If they cannot be purchased separately (i.e. X-Files) then it is one disc.
While I enjoyed this movie, it wasn't great. Just an entertaining diversion. But only one male? From an evolutionary standpoint this is a sure way NOT to ensure the survival of your species.
EricW,
Re: Luke Wilson coming last. Isn't his scene on the boat the first one right after? That is probably why he comes last, to make the transition the WA wanted.
Just re-reading this thread brought another issue to my mind. The opening shows the Pre-crime unit just barely preventing a murder...and I mean just barely. I would presume that there have been other close calls, yet since there have been no murders in however long, can we also presume they have...
To flat out say one performance is better than another is simply wrong, in my opinion, when you are comparing different roles. Washington and Crowe both gave excellent noteworthy performances for very different roles in very different movies, I tihnk it is comparing the proverbial apples to oranges.
