It had me at “93 til Infinity” during the opening credits tbh. Saw the trailer and looked funny. I’ll have to watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I Am Mother on Netflix was pretty good except I think it gave away too much information early, specifically saying it was 13000 days since extinction in the first 5 minutes Edited June 10, 2019 by skywindO2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Town Values Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Personally, I loved it for what it was - An an exposé of the deceitful / fraudulent practices of Threanos & the rise & fall of wunderkind Elizabeth Holmes. I've seen some critics complain that it didn't delve deep enough into the psyche / mental state of Holmes. But, it's probably too early to deduce anything substantial without cooperation / detailed information from Elizabeth, her family & friends. (PS - After staring intensely into her wild catlike eyes, I'm convinced she's 100% innocent. I firmly believe she should be given a second chance & be hired by the NFL to revolutionize the league's concussion testing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm trying to figure out how many times I've watched Predator. I've probably seen that movie more than any other movie, and I feel like every time I think about it I could put it in and enjoy it from start to finish. I still remember the first time I ever watched it. My mom and my narc sister were both visiting family out of state, so my dad could get away with letting me watch it. It was probably the first R-rated movie I ever saw, and I was somewhere between 8 and 10 years old. I think I watched it at least 3 times that week. Probably at least once a year since then, so I've probably seen that movie at least 30 times. Still firmly entrenched in my top 5 all-time, and I don't think that's ever going to change. Really makes you think what happened to Hollywood that my top 5 movies were all made within 5 years of me being born or before I was even born. The Thing (1982) Predator (1987) Tombstone (1993) Die Hard (1988) Jurassic Park (1993) Also, since I'm just rambling, I'm really starting to hope that they don't ever reboot The Thing again because they'll probably have a good Thing and a bad Thing. Just like they did with The Predator and Jurassic Park. Thinking back on Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World, they really butchered the velociraptor by making it a pet. I think it worked fine in Jurassic World, but Fallen Kingdom it just really sucked, and then in The Predator, I don't even want to talk about it but I will. The Predator was the worst attempt at a reboot of ANY movie from the 80's with the exception of Ghostbusters. The movie literally: 1. Turned an autistic kid into a "warrior." I put that in quotes because the Predator literally SPOKE and called the snotnosed autistic kid a warrior. 2. They made the Predator speak. 3. They literally - again - called back to the "Get to the Choppa!" line by having somebody yell "Get to the choppers," referring to the motorcycle variety. 4. Added this gem of dialogue, "That's my new suit, bubba. I hope they got it in a 42 long. " 5. And this one, "Know who Whoopi Goldberg is? It's like an alien Whoopi Goldberg. " (Great job belittling an iconic movie creature created by the great Stan Winston). 6. Shane Black literally cast a registered sex offender. Watching Predator last night and seeing Shane Black actually IN Predator made me dislike him even more. What part of anything about the movie you were actually in made you think what you were writing and directing would be good? If you haven't seen The Predator yet and you have any love at all for the original, do not ever watch it. Even if it's free because they can track how many people watch it on Netflix and HBO and such. The only way you should ever watch it is if a copy of it falls off the back of a Best Buy truck. Then you can watch it, but be sure to make plenty of copies and distribute it so that whoever concocted that crap doesn't get any more money for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Just now, Fresh Prince said: It really did suck I feel like I need to start an Internet support group for how badly it sucked. I could literally tear apart every single scene in that movie. I didn't even touch on the most egregious error in thinking on the part of everybody involved in that POS movie... They completely tried to rewrite everything about the original. Nope, the aliens aren't just hunters. They're harvesting human DNA. Let's complete destroy the Predator taking pride in his trophies from the original and polishing Billy's skull to add to his collection of trophies by saying that all along they were just trying to harvest DNA and turn themselves into hybrid creatures. They have to stop this. Somebody has to put laws in place to prevent this from happening again. I'm fortunate because I don't let remakes/reboots ruin the original for me, but there are people out there who cannot disassociate reboots from originals. There are people out there who will look at the original Predator now as an alien harvesting human DNA. It's completely disrespectful to Billy, who knew his fate and decided to go out on his own terms and challenge the ultimate hunter and become a prized possession of that ultimate hunter. They need to learn that lesson because every single time they try to **** with the original, it backfires. There are 10,000 better ways to handle a new Predator movie. 1. Make a prequel with Hopper's men, who were killed shortly before Dutch and company come. Yes, we already know that everybody dies, but you could make it a bittersweet ending with a twist that there had been two Predators, and that Hopper and his men were able to kill one of them. 2. Go the Halloween route and have Dutch prepare for years for a Predator to come back. 3. Just do the same damn thing over again with a different group in a different setting. These reboots have tried remaking, rebooting, sequels and yet nobody has tried an equal. Instead of a sequel or a prequel, make a movie that takes place at the same time as the original. That way you're not changing the ending of the original, you're not changing the beginning of the original. Like... Why do a prequel to The Thing when we know the Norwegian camp gets killed brutally, and we even know how some of them died, when instead you could just have another camp in the Antarctic where another dog runs to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm aware of. Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) produced & directed it. Documentaries praising revolutionary companies isn't typically his subject matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
