In “The Blues Brothers”, replace the “Rawhide” performance in the roadhouse with “Jedi Rocks.”
Replace “Anything Goes” from “Temple of Doom” with “Jedi Rocks.”
And replace Kate Capshaw with Sy Snoodles throughout the entirety of the movie.
In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indy chases off small group of bad guy swordsmen, then realizes that he has run into a much larger group and flees in terror, just like this change:
Oh, wait! 😉
I wonder if there are any good Republicans or good Republican ideas.
Might be some good ideas here. The revelation that Leia is Luke’s sister got a chuckle out of me.
Might be worthwhile for a ridiculous edit 😃
Remember Warbler, everyone must die. But you and I believe that we will all live again. Let that give you peace. Hope you find some of that peace this Father’s Day.
The only surprise about that ban is that it took so long.
I lived in Canada for two years and the “eh” has worked its way deep into my vocabulary. It’s a bit annoying.
F you, eh!
^The above post is an absolute embarrassment! You used the wrong ‘its’!
Is talking to yourself really considered good news?
I do work with the mentally ill…just trying to fit in.
I’ve tried to like Batman Returns because I enjoy Batman '89 so much, but no matter which way I look at it, I can’t stomach it. Most offending is the horrid portrayal of Penguin. If people are going to get hung up on the accuracy of character portrayals, how can anyone find the transformation of that villain from the “Gentleman of Crime” to the disgusting DeVito representation as acceptable is beyond me. People get hung up on the realism of the Nolan trilogy whenever anything unrealistic happens, but Returns even violates the Burton suspension of disbelief on multiple occasions. Last time I watched it, I was determined to enjoy it. And I didn’t.
I agree
Soundtrack is great, though. Danny Elfman is my favorite movie composer, even above John Williams.
*rips up darth-ender’s Star Wars fan membership card and throws him out of the forum*
There is no better movie composer than John Williams.
In terms of technical skill, there is no doubt that John Williams is better. But Elfman has a way of evoking such powerful emotions, I can not help but love his work more.
Don’t get me wrong, I love John Williams. I just love Danny Elfman more.
Ok.
Keep in mind I don’t read comic books and don’t care about superheroes. I just like Burton’s two Batman films on their own merits.
What merit(s) do you think Batman Returns has?
Most of them?
The characters are great, even The Penguin. The movie looks great. The score is great (one of the few I still listen to).
It’s not a perfect movie by any stretch but I really enjoy it.
How can I take your opinions on the Batman movies seriously when you’re…you?
Sorry, I don’t watch youtube video reviews.
What he posted isn’t even an actual review, it’s just CinemaSins. They list various nitpick problems for humorous effect, though they frequently list actual problems when the film is poorly made enough, like TDKR. I don’t think their videos on either Batman or Returns list any serious issues, probably because they’re both good movies.
How can I take your opinions on the Batman movies seriously when you hate Toy Story 2? 😉
I love that you work in mental health, Bingowings. We may not have always seen eye to eye on everything, but I think you and I are kindred spirits in some ways. I’ve had some good news in the same arena.
I was recently promoted to be the
interimdirector of the behavioral health department of my hospital! 😃
I must say, I find it hard to believe that you hate public speaking. You are a master of the written word. I suspect your spoken prose is equally well crafted.
I approve. I think it would be a fun thread, though I suspect we’ll exhaust all interesting options fairly quickly.
If people are going to get hung up on the accuracy of character portrayals
I don’t.
I’ll murder you momentarily…
Why do exemplary people matter, then? Don’t they matter just as little as everyone else?
With enough time we can have the technology to bend the laws of reality to our whim. If humanity were more ‘focused’ this would come to fruition in less time. Could be thousands of years, could be millions. That part is pointless to speculate.
Grasping at straws, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Maybe she helped or encouraged someone else at a key moment in their life. Maybe she saved an abandoned cat. Even a small contribution is valuable.
As it pertains to the lives of everyday people? Yes it is. As it pertains to the Universe? Absolutely not.
Tell me, who has ever lived on this planet that has ever contributed anything to the Universe?
Unless we are being monitored by some other intelligent life in the Cosmos (or they stumbled onto something of our in space) and that effect ripples until an event of great importance happens we haven’t…ergo all of our lives are meaningless.
Everything will one day come to an end: humanity, the earth, the planets and stars…all will become lifeless until another Big Bang cycle hopefully produces another set of miniscule planets that manage to develop life. You realize that no human has ever done more than influence other humans who live on this planet. It is that influence that has given humanity meaning. If we are an influence for good, then our lives have been worthwhile. If you cannot believe that, then humanity is nothing more than a biological blip in a virtually 100% lifeless, meaningless universe.
Exactly. You seem repulsed at the idea.
I’m repulsed by the idea that, no matter your views on the afterlife, your view of the here-and-now includes so little compassion as to feel no remorse at wishing someone who repulses you dead. Such a negative outlook on your fellow humans is really far more damning than publicly drinking from ketchup bottles.
sandwiches
spread
I see what you did there.
Yes, I’m quite the ham.
Until Vulcans land on earth, become enamored with sandwiches, and thus begins the spread of of such an important discovery to the rest of the universe, my claim still stands.
Who are you to say this hasn’t already happened?
I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you…
Which wouldn’t matter much because you’ve contributed nothing to humanity beyond two ridiculous edits of already ridiculous movies… 😉
The Universe is severely overrated.
And Earth is underrated?
People are often more than the sum total of the things they have accomplished in their lives.
That doesn’t mean anything if they can’t manifest that into the world in some tangible way.
Does that mean that people who are unable to ‘manifest’ that ‘something’ are not qualified to live?
I do not think they should have their lives taken from them but they are unworthy of the life they have been given. I’m haunted at the thought of the thousands of people that could have shaped humanity in inconceivable ways had they been born and billions that actually existed and either squandered their talents to settle for the mundane or were destined for mediocrity due to shitty genes and toxic temperaments/mindsets they couldn’t shake off.
Should the handicapped be exterminated?
If I were in charge I would leave that up to the parents.
The elderly?
No, but I think the elderly people who didn’t save up enough funds to be self-sufficient when they retired should receive no assistance from the Government. You literally have decades to prepare for it and there are many better ways that money can be spent. When I think about this dilemma a kid with cancer trumps the elderly in the end. I can see how you could disagree with me though.
I also don’t believe in food stamps in general.
This way of thinking can be dangerous and living in Eastern Europe, I am reminded of a time when a lot of people thought that way. You are certainly entitled to your opinions but I would submit that human life has value even if said human is unable to leave their mark on the world in any significant way.
I hope my previous statement negates that comparison in your mind.
You’re less than a stone’s throw from those to whom he compared you.
