I don't get the continued references to a "chronological" cut of The New World. The theatrical cut is chronological, as is the extended cut. It doesn't jump forward and backward in time. It starts with the arrival of John Smith in North America and ends with Pocahontas' visit to England...

Yeah, I guess my credibility is shot with fans of crying, pillow fighting hobbits, Keanu-Christ-Duh-Buddha, and tap dancing Spidey. Wait, what is the definition of credibility again? Anyway, I still love AWE. Best trilogy ender in a long while, despite its flaws. I'm looking forward to...

Holadem, you being the "rare" exception is precisely why I tend to pay close attention to your opinion. After reading your previous post, I was tempted to go back and give DMC another try. I think I will go ahead and do that now. Heck, maybe AWE will make me appreciate it more! By the way, I...

My take, for those who don't read the review thread (in my opinion, the film to beat for the summer): In short, my wife and I both loved it. I was pleasantly surprised because I despised DMC with a passion. It was a supreme let down for me after the joyous surprise of Curse of the Black...

In short, my wife and I both loved it. I was pleasantly surprised because I despised DMC with a passion. It was a supreme let down for me after the joyous surprise of Curse of the Black Pearl, so I went into AWE with extremely low expectations. Even given that fact, though, I was inordinately...

Then I'm really glad that Lucas canned Darabont's script. Temple of Doom, despite its obvious flaws, is far superior to The Last Crusade. Give me adventure Indy over comedy/ spoof / daddy issues Indy any day. As for AOTC, I haven't watched it in a long time. I loved it when it came out, but its...

I'm counting down the days until I can see this film. It looks amazing from the trailer and I love all the positive press it's getting of late. I just have to hold on a little bit longer! :)

I just have to say that I loved the stairwell fight. One of many highlights in what may well end up as my favorite Bond film (at least of the ones that do not star Connery). :emoji_thumbsup:

Well, I'll allow the dictionary to describe Pressfield for me (from Merriam-Webster): Hack : a person who works solely for mercenary reasons : HIRELING b : a writer who works on order; also : a writer who aims solely for commercial success cliche: 1 : a trite phrase or expression...

This is pretty much my most anticipated film of the season. It looks to be a singular artistic vision, regardless of its ultimate quality.

Herodotus is a little dry, but he certainly serves better than Pressfield. Pressfield is a hack. He has made quite a little niche market for himself by churning out cliche-ridden and clumsy fictionalized accounts of classic history. He does so on a regular and reliable basis with increasingly...

Seretur, that was an excellent post. You've enriched my Star Wars experience. :)

Not to be too contrary, but this trailer makes the film look like trash. It caters to nothing more than an adolescent fixation on violence and sex and is edited in typical MTV style replete with nonsensical screaming. The Spartans deserve better. By the way, Pressfield is a hack. While...

The PT enhanced the OT for me in some respects, but it also detracted in others. I love the resonance I feel now for Obi-Wan and his past when I watch the OT. I love the fact that I can feel the influence of Qui-Gon and his philosophy in the OT. I love the way I can feel Anakin's quick anger and...

It is in the novelization. I remember reading it as a kid and being disappointed that it didn't appear in the film. :)

I need a medium. ;)

As Clinton said, watching the OUT version of Star Wars on dvd was heaven. Sure, the video/sound isn't reference quality, but it is certainly the best it's ever been (and perhaps will ever be) for these classic unaltered films. Five minutes in, and all thoughts of anamorphic vs. non-anamorphic...

Love the new trailer. I'm betting that Gibson did a great job with this one. I'm looking forward to the chance to find out!

I was FINALLY able to catch this movie recently. Mann is one of my favorite filmmakers and he did not disappoint. This wasn't his best work by any means, but it certainly maintains the level of quality I've come to expect of his films. The cinematography was top notch, the action was superb, and...

Personally, I'm getting tired of the way the press seems more and more incapable of separating the artist from the art. Apocalypto is a film that I am eagerly anticipating, despite my dislike of Mel Gibson's recent drunken behavior. Mel Gibson is, in my opinion, a great filmmaker with a clear...

This is a great film that only gets better in retrospect. Hugo Weaving did a tremendous job as V and the managed to credibly blend action and ideas. I'm looking forward to having the time to sit and watch this one again!

Isn't this entire discussion pointless? GL will do what he desires. Either buy or don't buy. Whining endlessly about betrayal, etc. won't change anything. The facts are simple. This is what Lucasfilm is offering you. Nothing will change that. GL does not care what you have to say, online or...

This news couldn't have come at a better time. This could potentially be the greatest dvd release ever! 2007 can't get here soon enough...

One of my favorite films of all time. Along with the Star Wars OOT and the extended Kingdom of Heaven, this is the release I am most anticipating this year.

Wow! The original OT on dvd?? Hell has frozen over?? AWESOME!! This came totally out of the blue for me this morning. It was like reading that Santa Claus has been proven to exist. :)

I'm looking forward to this. I wonder why its future is so unclear? Most of the other films that were in theaters at the same time have been released, or are right on the horizon...

I own the soundtrack as well, and I Will Find You is track 16. In fact, Amazon has the track listing for the currently available cd here. Check track 16: The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack

David, I think you underestimate a lot of forum members here. I know that many of us can understand why you feel the way you do. I just hope you can take a breath, step back for a moment and understand that if somebody uses the term "natural" in quotation marks, they are doing nothing more than...

David, Overreact much? While sensitive to your concerns, I'm starting to think you protest too much to be taken seriously. Remember, there is such a thing as historical accuracy. I find it ridiculous to try to impose 21st century PC langauage/attitudes on a depiction of 17th century...

Thi, Yes, my third (and probably final) theatrical viewing. Sadly, the film has left cinemas in my area as of today. :frowning: Chuck, that was an excellent post. You are exactly right to single out Malick's attempt at non-subjective narrative. In fact, that is something I wrote about The...
