LOST
Time

I didn't see the US version of LOM, I heard it was quite bad though.

A2A was not a perfect show but the last season and particularly the ending were very good.

 

The final episode answered to all questions regarding Sam and Alex and the twist about Gene was really interresting.

The door of the bar being the door to heaven was a nice touch and Nelson being somekind of St Peter corresponded to the character.

Besides I'm glad the writers choose not to have a happy ending.

The "deleted" scene is hilarious I'm wondering when it was shot.

Season 6 was really disappointing, the answers seemed rushed, the main actors looked bored besides they had 3 seasons to solve all the mysteries and they did the opposite by asking more questions in season 4 and 5.

The writers should have taken example from the UK shows Life on Mars an Ashes to Ashes, probably the best shows I have ever seen

They have a similar ending but unlike Lost they knew when to stop before it got repetitive or impossible to solve

Yes but still they'll re-release the Phantom Menace in 3D next year and they have to the sell the bluray box-sets too.

Beside they're harsh comments toward LucasFilm in the article for instance

The cartoon is better than the three prequel movies. I watch it because its the only good thing LucasFilm have done with Star Wars for many many years.”

Thanks you Frink and Bingo for the welcome.

I found this article published a few month ago :

9 actors who saved otherwise mediocre movies :

http://guyism.com/lifestyle/actors-who-saved-bad-movies.htm

 2 Harrison Ford - Star Wars

I am going to catch hell for this one, but search your feelings, you know it to be true. Without Ford’s iconic performance as Han Solo, Star Wars is just the hokey story of a whining farm boy who catches the eye of a weird old wizard and then flies around space accompanied by a pair of gay robots and an overgrown dog man. Or, to put it another way, if you take Harrison Ford as Han Solo out of Star Wars and its sequels, you know what you get? The Phantom Menace. That’s right. Ford managed to drag the original Star Wars films over the line that separates cheesy from awesome with his ultra-charismatic and cool performance as Han Solo. It wasn’t George Lucas who did it. Hell no. Let’s not forget that Lucas scripted Han to boringly respond “I love you too” after Leia told him she loved him just before he was frozen in carbonite and it was Ford who ad-libbed the line “I know.” That is the scene which sums up Han’s whole character and it was because of Harrison Ford, not George Lucas. He made Star Wars what it is today. You can have all the special effects you want and you can spend a billion dollars creating a whole universe that looks amazing, but if you don’t have the right attitude and you don’t have something that makes it all feel genuine and real, then you don’t have anything. Thankfully for George Lucas, he had Harrison Ford and he should get on his hands and knees and thank the maker every day that he did, because in the end, Harrison Ford is what made Star Wars go.

 

I don't agree at all with his opinion, of course without Ford the movies wouldn't have been the same he brought a new dimension to the character and made him likable but the first 2 films would still be good. It's not like the other actors weren't good or the plot was boring.

In his article he also mentions Johnny Deep for the POTC. I agree with him, Deep reminds me of an old French actor that you might have seen in the Fantomas movies, Louis de Funes.

They both played in many terrible movies among pretty bad actors but their acting performance are close to genius and save the whole thing.

Episode I: The Ridiculous Menace (FULL MOVIE IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM, SEE FIRST POST)
Time

I have a suggestion that makes no sense.

Approximately at 1:25 the queen says "I will not watch my people suffer and die while we debate this in a committee"

I was thinking, what are midichlorians ? we could hear Leia screaming "I'm not a committee"

My humble contribution, anyway I can't wait to see the final cut the videos you posted are hilarious.

Amy Winehouse Found DEAD
Time

Her death is a big loss for the music because she was very talented and different from the other popstars who mostly make dance stuff but she doesn't deserve to be part of the 27 club.

I mean she only did an OK first record and one fantastic album but her latest live performances sucked.

I hope I won't sound selfish but her death affected me more than the famine in Africa or the massacre in Norway because just like twooffour explained her music touched me at some point of my life, she gave me emotions whereas I don't know anything at the victims of the terrorist.

To be clear I'm not saying that what happens in Norway or in Africa isn't important.

Hello everyone I read the forum for a while now but I decided to register today.

I just found this interview of Noel Gallagher (Oasis) where he talks about his favorites movies. Here's his opinion about Star Wars and the special editions.

"Not the silly edition with the f**king dinosaurs in it, the original. I was ten when this came out, and I still believe that galaxy is going on somewhere, a long, long time ago and far, far away. And even now it looks state of the art. You know it's a big guy from Cornwall in a furry gorilla suit, but it doesn't really matter. It deals with the most basic premise of good vs evil and someone got to rescue the girl, but you've got to admire someone with the vision to invent an entire language. It blew my mind, and I can't wait for it to blow my son's mind. Then I'll be able to say to him "wait until you find out who his Luke Skywalker's Dad is". That will bend his head. Fuck Blade Runner. Blade Runner is Radiohead. Star Wars is Oasis."

As always this guy is very honest and I'm glad that musicians comments about this issue.
