I JUST finished watching Serenity. Will have to give Prospect a chance. Also, yeah, I think I'm overdue for Ex Machina :)
That sounds very interesting. I enjoy sci-fi that doesn't rely on action as well. What you described reminds me of Moon. I'll keep my eyes open, or perhaps see if they have the seasons online somewhere.
Thanks to everyone for the great lists!
I've been on the fence about this one. I'm just going to pull the trigger and add it to the list. Thanks for the recommendation!
Ready Player One was pretty good. I think it's one of those movies that will get better with each repeated viewing, as it didn't really hit "home" with me upon first viewing. But it was a gorgeous looking film and will watch again :)
You bring up good counter-points, Malkovich. But it's just hearsay regarding where they met within the lore of Indiana Jones. Point being, whether legal or not, Marion's character says she was "...just a child" and that Indie "...should have known better...". I concede that my talking points are hearsay as well regarding Spielberg being an alleged pedo, but my original point was that I know a lot of people who refuse to watch his movies because of the allegations.
As far as George Lucas, I WISH and HOPE he one day goes back to his American Graffiti roots and releases something in the same vein.
Well said, actionkamen. Good post. Great food for thought.
I agree, actionkamen. I was referring to technology taking over, not suicide. I should have clarified. Sorry about that.
Dude, thanks for the sources!!
Yeah, as someone whose dealing with PTSD, what those soldiers are going through always pulls at my heart. Fcking terrible.
Sans evidence, you say. Would you like me to cite sources about actors and actresses coming forward about being victims of child sexual abuse within Hollywood? I don't want to straw-man or put words into your mouth (and forgive me if I have), but are you saying that this isn't an issue, or doesn't happen? OR, are you just saying that Spielberg isn't a pedo? Just want to clarify.
Also, the link claims that they originally intended for Marian/Marion to be twelve, as opposed to fifteen. That's not a huge difference, Malkovich. Statutory rape is still rape.
"It is the first time in American history that life expectancy has gone down... (And in fact, three years in a row)."
Really? That's interesting. Definitely something worth looking into. That's crazy if true.
"I've probably mentioned it many times, but I think its from a lack of soul nutrition. Technology is replacing humanity."
Agreed. This new iGen are losing the skills of coping and emotional management. Not to mention the lack of critical thinking. But again, this could be anecdotal and/or me ranting about the kids on my lawn.
Malkovich, you used to be so level headed. What have these boards done to you?
In this scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwpLFHNgyiA), the lady is 24 years old (according to the script). So, you're wrong.
It's very sad that you see child-abuse whistleblowing as a "fad" and/or a conspiracy. Nonetheless, these (alleged) pedos DO make awesome mediocre movies.
Hahaha!!
Being that there's many accounts of former child actors and actresses coming forward of alleged sexual abuse, the former. Moreover, in Indiana Jones (I forget which one) there's a scene where Indie admits to having sex with a 14 year old. Also, a Spielberg film.
Gattaca. My new/old favorite movie at the moment.
I think they're the standard of modern filmmaking. By "standard", I mean mediocre. "Ready Player One" was a nice movie, but lacked heart. Scorsese films have the best lighting, but his movies are choppy. I haven't seen the departed, but Goodfellas, Casino, Bringing out The Dead, etc...all have choppy editing.
I don't hate them, their movies just aren't my taste. But I know plenty of people who 'hate' their films. Mostly do to Spielberg being a pedo, allegedly.
It's sunny :)
Cruise. No Indie music, but it's actual 80's freestyle and some retrowave influences.
No offense taken. It was a couple months back where you replied to one of my threads and made many great talking points regarding PC culture and how Trump isn't the answer. At any rate, I appreciate the response.
dteam! Nice to see you on here again :) Seeing as this is a post about a news personality, I want to ask you which outlets do you use to get your news/current events? It seems like a lot of the main outlets lean too far to one side or the other. I've been trying to find reporting, not activism. Reading Salon, then Daily Wire, then HuffPo, then Brietbart can be extremely damaging to one's psyche.
