Still if you enjoy it give it a shot,even if it is only on the internet.
There are people out there who started doing things online as a hobby but after a few years managed to make a living at it.
I say start a blog site or something and give it your best shot.
I have yet to see a movie in IMAX since there are no theaters in my area but having seen it in 3D I have to say I assume it would look very impressive in that format.
That is odd,most people I know like Worf and hate this episode.
I think the biggest problem this episode has is that it is another Holideck breakdown episode and it takes almost 20 minutes for the holideck to breakdown. Look we know from the first time it is mentioned in the episode that it is going to break down and I don't think anyone cares why it breaks down so we really don't need twenty minutes of set up for the break down. This is one of those episodes that I guess isn't bad but because it is so slow paced and we know where it is going it puts me to sleep every time I try to watch it.

You know a few days ago I was talking to someone about the fact that one of the things I miss about films from the 30s and 40s was that they wouldn't waste time. I liked how films like Stagecoach would just drop you into the world of the movie and trust you to figure out what was going on,they would set up characters and situations with a little as one line of dialog or a look and go from there and yet it would set up so well you would follow every bit and still care about the character. I miss that style of film making because you could get a lot more story told in a lot shorter of a time. Of course for that to work the film goer has to keep their attention fixed on the screen the whole time so in this age of cellphones and stuff it's no wonder that style of film making is dead,still I miss it. Well This movie is a return to that style. To be clear this is the first film in the MCU were I know nothing about the characters or the comic it is based on and yet I never once felt lost. This movie is the best paced film I have seen in years and it doesn't come at the expense of the characters and every scene feels like it serves a purpose in telling a story. It's the first film I have seen in a long time where I felt every second of screen time was needed. As I said it reminds me of Stagecoach one of the best paced movies of all time. Also like the work of John Ford it takes time from it's well paced story to have a sense of wonder about it's setting and let you soak in just how aw inspiring it is.
It is also the first movie of the MCU that I would recommend to people who are sick of comic book movies because it is not a superhero movie in any way. It's a fast paced,fun,bright Sci-Fi adventure. It has a sense of pure fun and excitement that was missing in the latest entries in both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. In fact it does a better job taking it's hero from being s selfish jerk who only cares about number one to being a hero who i believe can inspire people then either of the last two Star Trek movies. You know if WB were still going to make a Mass Effect movie I would want the writer/director of this film behind it because I think he could do something with the concept and it wouldn't feel like it drags. This film brings a rag tag team together quickly and gives all of the characters a moment so that towards the end I had a tear in my eye,and it does it in two hours. The action scenes are fun and creative and flow naturally from one to another and are there to help tell the story and don't feel like they hang around too long. The movie is expertly crafted from start to finish and if you like Sci-Fi or Star Wars then I can't think of a reason you wouldn't enjoy this film. It's the only film in the MCU that I would recommend to people who don't like superhero movies. Marvel took a big gamble with this film and it paid off big time,this is the best film in the MCU if you ask me.

I enjoyed your pretentious reviews. Don't stop. I think it's fun. We're all aspiring for something greater. No harm in getting some practice :)
Yeah well said. You can't get better at something without doing it badly.
To really get good you have to dare to be stupid,that means you can't be afraid of looking foolish.
I for example make riffed videos on Youtube and write fanfiction that mostly sucks and I know it makes me look silly and most people don't care for it but I don't care because I am also getting practice and feedback on these things so little by little I am getting better.
I think internet critic SF Debris put it best when he said "The first thing you do in any creative field is going to suck" but that is no reason to stop doing it.
I have found your reviews interesting and I think they are getting better so please don't give up.
I'd give him a duck's bill for a mouth.
never being able to find work and dying alone in a ditch somewhere.
Well my method is simple but also complex at the same time. I use Fraps or some other program to capture what my computer is doing as a video file and then use another program to convert the video file to an MP3.
There has to be a better way to do it but that is how i do it.
Wow!
You just made my day!:)
And every web critic out there keeps talking about how awful they are. They are often mentioned in the same breath as Batman and Robin and the Transformers movies. My close friends all like them but Darth Ender's post was the first time I had seen anything positive about them online and it seems most people cite them as proof that Peter Jackson is a no talent hack who got lucky with the Lord of the Rings films. So yeah I would say they are under rated.
Yes!
I am not alone!
I have enjoyed them both. They don't follow the books but then again most of Hitchcock's work didn't either and for me they work as films. I am not sure watching the Dwarve get captured and saved by Gandalf for the whole story would have worked in a film any way. I enjoy the cast and the energy and I think Howard Shore did an even better job with the scores to these movies then he did with the Lord of the Rings.
I know I am about to get jumped on by tons of people saying how wrong I am but I don't care,I have enjoyed these movies and I am not ashamed to say so.
Okay I just finished watching A Fistful of Datas and is it just me or is Worf the Worst.Father.Ever.
Now his son has hardly spent any time with him since he saw his mother's bloody corps a couple years ago and it's clear he is desperate for any kind of attention from his father. Yet Worf has to be ordered by Picard to spend any time with him and when he does he seems to react to Alexander with a mixture of contempt and barely concealed rage and then he refuses to enter into the spirit of the program and does his best to make his son feel foolish for watching it. He makes it pretty clear he would rather be anywhere else then spending time with him. He acts like he is Picard with Weasly but the big difference is that Alexander is much younger,his son,and has had a tramatic life. I have to say in this episode and the one Alexander comes on board where Worf also refuses to spend time with him unless ordered by Picard Worf comes off as the most uncaring father you could have. The only thing he has really done is force the kid to look at his mother's freshly murdered corps,is it any wonder this kid had issues when he turned up on DS9.
What was wrong with Worf in these episode,they really don't paint him in a good light.
I have to wonder why the writers added Alexander to the cast any way. I mean where they trying to give us a reason to hate worf?
The first one is good. The second one is pretty bad. The third one is okay.
Oh Return to Oz is a pretty good movie in it's own right but a lot of people seem to hate it for some reason.
yeah everything except my socks and I know one of you stole them!
Stupid sock thieves.
It looks like an effect from a classic Doctor Who.
I thought 2010 was pretty good. It wasn't the same type of movie as 2001 but taken on it's own it was pretty good.
Has anyone seen my socks?
NNNNOOOOOOO!
Now how am I going to over pay for a box of someone's garbage??!
