Gosh I don't know: as I say, I was corrected by someone else for using the term for this film; I looked it up and it does seem to be the term for Tron Legacy/Force Awakens sort of things, but I don't know if that's right or not. I just thought it was interesting that there were so many of those things that there's an actual name for them! :)
It hurts my feelings. I know worthless grifters. They don’t deserve to be put in the same bag as this guy.
That's how I received it.
@bondywondy I really liked your post describing Hollywood. You do wonder what will give in budgets. I doubt the front of camera will feel the effect, more likely the behind the scenes folks will either be chopped or reduced in numbers. Thanks for your thoughtful post!
Because he earned it, and deserves to be miserable.
From what I've seen of his stuff, I think it would be hard to say that he doesn't go in for namecalling along with much worse accusations of people, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
I suppose it bothers me more than anything. I don't like to engage in name calling and feel the word would be a better place without it. Call me an idealist.
1.Raiders
2.Crusade
3.Dial
4.Doom
5.What was that other one called? Bah, who cares.
Good to see you my friend. Your feelings almost flawlessly mirror my own.
I don’t need to watch his video to guess that he probably railed on Helena for being a “strong female”, when she was clearly a throwback to the fast talking women of the 30s that had to overcome their own insecurities in order to connect with other human beings. I see online a lot of complaints about her being a Mary Sue, which I find baffling. It’s like they read the scene where she refers to herself as “beautiful, self reliant, resilient” and took it as the movie stating it as a fact, rather than the obvious text that she’s someone that is way in over her head that needs help.
After seeing some of the Critical Drinker types on YouTube before going to the cinema, I was really expecting to hate her character, yet was surprised to discover the character was actually needed, and helped the story, not hinder it. I really cannot see what the fuss was about. If anything she was probably one of the highlights of the film.
Perhaps a rewatch could help with this also. I don't always catch everything the first time, and subtle details have often gone a long way in changing my opinions. When it comes to the other female leads of the series, I think Marion and Elsa are both excellent, but Willie is grating and Spalko is a bit bland. I especially want to like Spalko more than I do, but she just isn't as interesting as she could have been at all.
I have the same ranking now.
I think calling someone a name, while blunt/direct, can be way less offensive than the racist/sexist dog whistles these “critics” spout.
A lot of people said the same about Nomi in NTTD. Don’t you think there’s a lesson there?
I agree the world would be better without those YouTubers like him who go in for that, yes ;)
Eff them. :D
I'm planning to see DoD again next week.
Same. My Dad's birthday is today so we're planning to see a movie together next week. We're either going to DoD or DEAD RECKONING.
You being you, my friend, that’s really good to know ;)
Dial of Destiny was everything I wanted. Just wish Indy had punched a few Nazis including the bug henchman. Still, more emotional and full of character development in compared to MI films. MI films are fun but I’m getting fed up of Cruise now. He’s just grinning all the time and not much else. He’s a decent actor for sure but he rarely stretches himself.
So much passion for the film that it's great to hear the love for the film and those who are liking it but not loving it. I almost feel I need to watch Skull again to remind myself what I liked and didn't like about that movie. After Skull came out I remember telling myself that Crusade was the ending of the character for me. It was a note perfect film and the ride off into the sunset seemed appropriate. I do the same kind of thing for OP and having that has the last Moore Bond film, and SP as the last Craig Bond film.
