I mean, I didn’t lose respect for Jeff Bridges when he starred in the remake of True Grit, because it was superior to the original film adaptation (and really anything else starring John Wayne, for that matter).

The implied insult of John Wayne sucked your credibility straight out of you in my opinion.

Agreed.
I do prefer the Bridges TG to the Wayne TG, but neither is as good as The Quite Man or a good handful of other films with John Wayne in.
And I’m gonna go ahead and guess that Dek hasn’t watched enough John Wayne films to be able to make that statement anyway.
But that’s alright. he’s only young.

Very cool! I kinda prefer that one light to not be working though. Fits the Falcon.

Hey just wondering if there’s any reason to fix the light that’s out in the original.
Continuity?

I know it’s a small thing, so I hate to keep posting about it, but I’m just very curious about why that was changed.

The Big Lebowski (1998): 9/10

Really great. I loved the direction, the acting, the story and the characters.

One of my favorite movies. Gets better every time ya watch it.

Also, Yeah, Evil Dead 2 and Shaun of the Dead are also great. More of my favorites.
I don’t care much for Army of Darkness (loved it when I was a teenager, but find it painful now), but Evil Dead is one of my favorite horror films (one of my absolute favorite films flat-out) and Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorite horror comedies.

I haven’t seen the first Evil Dead yet, it’s just the one that appealed the least to me. I’ll probably get around to watching it soon. Also, why do you find Army of Darkness painful?

The comedy is stupid. The jokes are lame. The one liners wore out their welcome 15 years ago. It’s also pretty boring.
Evil Dead 2 remains funny and exciting. It’s not at childish as AOD.
And the original Evil Dead is a different beast altogether.

I think Blade Runner is properly regarded. It’s got a complex and adult script, odd and compelling characters (nobody is really likeable as such but they are interesting). The acting is top drawer throughout and then comes the environment which is astonishing.

I agree, except for the acting being tops. Larry (Darryl and Darryl’s brother) has such poor line delivery that it makes me cringe every time. Almost every line he speaks.

What is wrong with... <strong>Attack of the Clones</strong>? - a general discussion thread

Why are so many new members acting like they’ve been here for years and own the place?
And why do they act like members who have been here for years haven’t?

I have recently talked to Jay and apparently he thinks that bullying and offensive insults are okay. So sad to say it seems like Frinks is gonna stay on here(sigh)

But I do imagine that we will see R2-D2 having the stolen plans uploaded to his memory.

In fact this is what Leia does in the opening scene of ANH. Leia has the plan when the movie begins, she uploads them into R2 after having recording her message to Ben.

Handsome

Jokes aside, I do think we’ll see the plans handed off to Leia at the end. We won’t see her, but the audience will know who it is.
