"May I go to the bathroom?..." Awesome look of happiness. "Thank you..."
[doublepost=1501978411][/doublepost]Harry Potter is Igor. Professor X is Dr Frankensteeeein. Very fresh take on a classic.
I'll always miss Terry Garr and "Hearts and kidneys" being "tinker toys!"

Nearly every film I watch is a foreign film. Mostly made in Hollywood. 😉

Been revisiting Alien: Covenant, the film is growing on me as a standalone, remains to be beautifully shot. I still don't care for the demytefying of the Alien, guess I just compartmentalise the films 1 -3, then 4 being almost a comedy, Prometheus & Covenant are inexorably intertwined, with the former being the deeper more interesting arc.
I do feel Scott crumpled, Alien survival horror, better to go back to the grass roots and come up with a solid film based on Alien Isolation. Alien Covenant as has been discussed certainly doesn't build fear or tension to any real extent. Thinking of the original masterpiece or Alien 3 next, after Covenant as the film tries to cover both the first and second films extensively, yet fall to pull off each's individual success.
Maybe Alien 3, I know it has it's faults, equally the reconstructed version interests, could have been so much more had Fox Exec's not been such idiots...

I _just_ rewatched the first movie too, it popped up on Netflix (figuring that's where you saw it too), and while I have it on other sources, I was like, yeah, I can toss this on in the background 🙂
Still a fantastic, seminal film that established so many techniques for future movies - and it holds up really well too (from a technical perspective). The other movies have incredible moments mixed up with convoluted, drawn out meta-physical babbling, but I generally enjoy them for what they are. I always say, I feel like there's a really effective, 2-2.5 hour one movie sequel hidden in Reloaded and Revolutions.

I actually own all three Matrix movies (+ AniMatrix) on DVD (how quaint!). My kids have seen the recent future dystopian movies movies (Allegiant, Hunger Games, etc.) and I wanted them to see how it really should be done. The special events and CGI have stood the test of time, and although it does get complicated, I love the complexity and thought provoking plot so rare in typical Hollywood action popcorn movies.

It's strange.... I find myself watching this behind-the-scenes documentary over and over. I think its the cinematography, the score, the "characters", the settings.
And every time I watch it, I wish that someone would have made something like it about Steve Jobs (ie "in his own words"), instead of the endless cash-ins.

I consider the three movies in order, 1) best, 2) good, 3) have to watch to see the end. 😉

I would agree with that. Just finished Revolutions to complete the trilogy. Might watch Animatrix again - seen it several times. A must watch for serious Matrix fans but probably overkill for the more casual viewer.

This is on my "to watch" list. I also enjoy watching "behind the scenes" features and am a huge Miyazaki fan. Looking forward to this.
Another rom-com from this pair, along with Sandler's usual gang. It was what I expected, although some of the pratfalls for Barrymore seemed forced, and my wife and I kept wondering where Rob Schneider was. It had some over the top ridiculous moments, particularly with Terry Crews. I asked my wife how they talked him into it, and she reminded me he's been the president (Idiocracy). We don't think he took to much convincing.
Overall, I enjoyed it, being smack in the middle of the target audience.

I liked it quite a bit - this coming from a huge fan of the original anime that I own on multiple formats along with several of the later DV sequels, the soundtrack by Kenji Kawai - and someone who just generally loves cyberpunk type material (Neuromancer, Snow Crash, other anime in the genre like Battle Angel, etc)
