It almost makes you think maybe society was a lot more fun and permissive and cool back then.
No, scratch that, they were old and stupid.
My Fair Lady (1964): “Damn, damn, damn damn!!” Rated G
Double post, sorry.
Movie ratings were different back then though. Even Jaws was a PG.
Rocky (1976). Features intense makeout scene. PG.
Logan’s Run (1976). Features open female nudity and overt creepiness. PG.
Temple of Doom (1984). Features a guy’s heart being ripped out of his chest. PG.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Harmless action movie. PG-13.
“Only a Sith deals in absolutes”
^ Funny because that is an absolute statement.
That’s right up there with, “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”
Did you just call me Solo?
Serious or not, I don’t get that line. His name IS Solo.
It’s essentially, “Who told you you were cool enough to use my cool abbreviated name.”
It also ignores the fact that Disney threw out all of Lucas’s ideas for the sequel trilogy without a care and he was so unhappy with the results that he whined about selling Star Wars to “white slavers.”
I used to think Lucas was a comedian and did the whole stubborn bit because it was hilarious “They’re my movies and I can do what I want with them.” “Nobody likes me.” Wearing the plaid shirt. Would be hysterical if that actually were the case. Unfortunately evidence is mounting that he is serious and the SEs and the prequels were not deliberately bad.
One of my favorite things…
when you mention Star Wars to any middle aged woman the only thing they can think about is “Harrison Ford.” That is their entire film analysis: “Harrison Ford.”
Guess he was considered pretty hot stuff back then😉
And the song itself is 1000000000x better. That may have something to do with the fact that it was ACTUALLY COMPOSED BY JOHN WILLIAMS. The fact that Jedi Rocks was not should by itself be enough to keep it from qualifying it as Star Wars music.
I don’t think Lapti Nek is so bad at all. It’s John Williams writing 80s music. I think it’s hilarious and appropriate for Jabba’s palace.
I’ve never seen the third one. Is it legitimately as bad as people make it sound, or is it just that it would have been better to leave it alone?
The director’s daughter was a really terrible actor in 3. That alone was enough to take me out of the film completely.
Revenge of the Sith-years since I saw this. I guess it’s OK in places.
Just can’t help remembering how astonished I was back in 2005 on opening night about how fake all the spaceships looked at the beginning. It was a cartoon.
I’ve only seen The Godfather once and never seen 2 at all. I don’t have a good excuse.
Beautiful movie. Like the first, feels like you ought to be able to hang it up on a wall in a frame. Looks gorgeous, gorgeous soundtrack, and very interesting Robert DeNiro character. Classic.

Big fan of Jedi Rocks, I see.
Nah, not a fan of it at all. It is just that the original scene is about as embarrassing as the new one. So I don’t care which one I have to endure.
I disagree in this case. Yeah, Lapti Nek is cheesy, but in a sleazy 80’s way that’s easy to forgive, and fits in well with the atmosphere of Jabba’s palace. Jedi Rocks is cheesy in an uncomfortable 90’s way. I feel embarrassed every time I see it.
In addition to adding a sleazy atmosphere, which you noted, Lapti Nek was written by John Williams. The new one was not if I recall correctly. Also Lapti Nek is consistent with the 80s, and like it or not, ROTJ is an 80s film.
Get it now (just saw the thread)
He furiously did the music’s taxes over that piece of footage.
FTFY
You’ll have to add me to the missed joke thread in off-topic. Don’t get it!

My first reaction was, in addition to the obvious (complete butchery of a classic), what disrespect to John Williams. He wrote the music without that line in mind. He climaxed the music over that piece of footage. They just ruined his entire musical sequence by dubbing “Noooooo” over it.
It showed a basic lack of understanding with regards to filmmaking.

Back to the Future-A. Amazing how cool the 80s were compared to now. Also amazing how even though the entire movie takes place in the 50s, it feels like an 80s movie purely due to the coolness radiated by one Michael J. Fox. Very good movie, looking at the second one tonight.

I have been mentally ill before. It was about 3 years ago. I thought the new Pope was Jesus. Pretty debilitating and took me a long time to recover (i.e. escape mental illness), but fairly harmless.
Never once did I have suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts=direct intervention needed. Black and white.

Or because you were a film genius as a teenager and you thought turning really bad source material into a really good proof of concept was a great way to hone your skill.
I think last time you were posting strangely and being an ass you were off your meds. I hope everything is okay. Apologies if I’m thinking of someone else.

It’s better, I think, for myself at least, not to feeling any emotion than feel what I had have been nearly a month now.I did mention needing a drink earlier in my post, but I could never become an alcoholic because alcohol quite honestly makes me emotional and I should probably stay away from anything that does this.
Besides, I would be looking for something to suppress what I’m feeling, not bring them center stage.
I think women who have feelings are hot

Everything has to get remade nowadays.
Well if it’s been done before it’s worth doing it worse
