You were the the one who declared my preference for Dunkirk indicated I like my movies to have loud noises and then declared I must be a Marvel fan with the obvious intent of denigrating my taste in films. So please don't suddenly claim you were restricting your concern to only three films.
And again its a matter of taste. As I mentioned, I thought Inception was was pretentious. I though Nolan's Batman films were competent at best, but overall forced. That's my opinion and you don't need to share it.
However, I hardly find it it mind boggling that I preferred Dunkirk, which I thought was done with style and covered a seldom mentioned incident of early World War II over an film I found pretentious and three I found competent, but forced.
Ah, typical. I found Nolan's Batman forced. Inception I found opaque and pretentious.
Yes, I am a Marvel fan. I'm also a fan of such things as Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Gaslight, Clue, Princess Bride, The Universal Monster films, Star Trek, Star Wars, Gone with the Wind, and many others. I'm not married to just one type of film.
Now, the fact you like Batman and Inception is perfectly fine. De Gustibus non disputandem est. Your preferences aren't wrong. Neither are mine. We all like different things.
But is shows arrogance to believe that other people's likes and dislikes are incorrect because they disagree with yours.
I agree. I'm not a Seth McFarlane fan, but this was very enjoyable.
>>>And isn't that word pronounced as if it had the word "coffin" in it??
Tim's pronounciation was odd. <<<<
Not precisely. Dictionary.com and Websters list the pronunciation as
kuh-KOF-uh-nee and ka-ˈkä-fə--fə-nē respectivelynē respectively, though Websters also note an acceptable alternate is ka-ka-fə--fə-nē
The "coffin" sound is there but the stresses are a bit different in the first listings. The Websters alternate is then a it different.
Yes, this time it looks like some elements in the government (including the new president) are choosing to impact the asteroid at a point where the debris will impact on Russia and China. This is almost as much as a cliche as other things we've seen. Unfortunate. We'll have to see.
That really doesn't make sense. Marty was the youngest sibling. If Dave looked like Marty, there might be suspicions, depending on when George and Lorraine were married and how long after Dave was born. But two children later? It would likely never cross their minds.
I disagree. Peter spent a considerable time in high school at the beginning of his series. His being considerably younger than most of the Avengers is pretty inherent to the character.
You may prefer an older Spider-Man. That's your prerogative. But his being in high school certainly doesn't make it impossible to make an interesting move.
My wife, my two brothers and I all enjoyed it immensely. We all have different tastes, but we all liked it. It has a lot of CGI, and that condemns it for many people. But given the imagery needed for this story, it was well used.
It is different than mainstream space opera. And I think it was marketed poorly.
Pretty much irrelevant. We are talking Hela and Loki, not Cate Blanchett and Tom Hiddleston. The latter are playing the former, but they are not the former.
I get tired with folks obsessing over relative age of actors and thinking characters must be identical to the actors portraying them.
I confess, I cannot see how you could have interpreted the movie that way and why you think its depressing.
You realize that people have different opinions and likes. In a case of men's attraction to women, a woman immensely attractive (hot) to one guy can leave another guy cold. You're opinion regarding Leigh vs. Roseanne is irrelevant. As is mine.
They did not decide to annihilate China and Russia. Orbital mechanics decided that. We don't know what area of the globe would be devastated if the asteroid was hit at the second rendezvous point. It might be the same location, but likely is another.
Note that they are trying to get control back so they can use the second point, regardless of which area of the world gets hit.
No, because he's human. He wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to a teenage boy who had been isolated for years. And this was not a violation of the Prime Directive. Charlie was human, from a Federation family. If helping him is a violation of the Prime Directive, then rescuing any ship wrecked individual is also a violation. As well as defending, say, Vulcan from an attack, or the Andorian home world from a rogue comet.
Since we've already seen that twice before, why do we need to do it again? I do admit I wish they had made a reference to Uncle Ben, but that's a minor critique. At this point we don't need to see his origin again.
This is not the comics universe. This is a related, but different universe. Things will be different.
Yes, I'm enjoying it very much. I'm seeing a few differences from the book, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. (Nor is it necessarily a good thing. It depends on the need for a film medium.)
No, I don't think so. I loved it and I do not like Nolan. I found Inception and the Batman trilogy competent at best. His name was not an attraction to me.
My wife, brothers and I saw it on Saturday. We were very pleased. The tone is different from most space opera, which may explain why many don't like it. (As well as, in my opinion, poor marketing). I agree that the pleasure room sequence could have been removed or at least abbreviated. Bubble was interesting, but she/he came and went so quickly she seems a bit superfluous.
So I suppose you intend to boycott clothing, cars, planes, trains and food. Because people have died producing all of those. If the death occurred because of negligence or intentional use of unsafe methods, then the studio should pay the cost; legally or financially. If it was simply an accident, those things happen. And will always happen. It is impossible to accident-proof anything.
I don't recall the details from the book. However, you are making the error of assuming that an non-Terran species is biologically the same as Terran ones. For all we know, the queen's are born holding their entire fertilized eggs. Or not. We don't know.
I see this a lot. People will criticize that a non-human acts like a human when they are not. But then they turn around and criticize the biology for not following biological science, that is Terran biology.
Why? While unusual, there would be nothing to keep Pa Peabody from having an 11 year old son. Or, at the same time having a 30-some year old daughter. Men do not, generally, lose fertility as they age. (Fertility does, of course, decrease. But unless disease or injury intervenes, it is not lost.)
