The Gnat Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Watched Return of the Jedi last night, I don't think I had ever seen the George Lucas redone version of that. While I haven't had much of an issue with Lucas messing around with the others, there were just a few times where you could tell he made the change and it was bad. The movie is still enjoyable, but there are some scenes, especially the music at Jabba's palace and Hayden Christenson that are just bad.

George lucas to movies is like what Steve Jobs was to the tech industry. He understands the big picture and what people will love as a whole. But he sucks at the details and needs someone else in charge to make that dream a reality. One was a tech visionary who sucked at tech. The other was a movie visionary who sucked at movies.

I would pay $150 for a boxed set of those three movies (on DVD even, not bluray) that weren't altered. But alas, they don't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I just saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it was pretty "meh" as expected. The first half is good, but the second half, without going into spoilers, is rather dull. Also didn't gravitate towards any of the new characters in the film. Currently watching Super 8 on FX. It's been years since I last watched this, forgot how good it was. One takeaway from this movie is that J.J. Abrahams makes some damn good sci-fi/monster/found footage films.

I hope the sequel is as good. https://screenrant.com/cloverfield-sequel-confirmed/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just watched Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies. Two of the most underrated animated movies in the west. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the best "war" movies I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "No....nnnnnnooooooooooooooo!" they added to Vader when he betrayed Darth Sidious was absolutely horrendous and borderline ruins what used to be an amazing cinematic climax.

seminoles1 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Watched Drinking Buddies last night. It was not what I expected, but in a good way. A lot more depth and emotional uncertainty than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Sicario: Day of the Soldado Rating: 8/10 Some I think may not agree but this was a very worthy successor to the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
