diaskeaus endorses

If you're at all curious about why my scores at so low, I have another list you might be interested in. I started updating it about the end of March, and so far have tallied over a hundred shows.
You're in Venezuela, learning Spanish?
At first I thought, "Oh, Jeez, did they really have to?..." but looking at it a second time, I can see why. In the first film, we never actually saw *it* happen, the transformation. We only saw a broken world. In this film, we get to be in on the chaos. Should be interesting. I hope they don't make it too video-game-ish.
What did you like so much about Dreamgirls?
Just saw it for the second time tonight, and I think I need to agree with you guys. I'm curious though - do you think the idea for Money Penny came from the woman he fell for? (as in, they set it up for future bonds) or was it just a clever entendre...
What I mean is practically, how do you actually fit all of those in any particular day? I am a student, but still because of life generally only have time for a maximum of two, unless I'm on vacation, so I'm curious to know how you get so many in. One day, you watched 18 hours of movies, which leaves you with... 6 hours to sleep, or eat, or whatever (albeit those seem to be extreme days).
You've probably already answered this in a previous comment on another list, but.... how in the world do you watch so many movies?
I had a discussion with a friend who said something similar to your reaction. He said that he felt the film was trying to be both mainstream and indy at the same time, as if the big-time special effects and cinematography was trying to bring out this epic story, while the story itself was incredibly simple without much character conflict, more of an art film that had a very narrow focus and tried to be more baroque than actually character-driven.
I absolutely agree with you. I'm a little sorry I never finished it. The controls were a little fast, but at the time when it was made, it would have been high class if it had only been advertised more. It had a lot of elements that were quite new and untested outside of Halo and Half Life, when it first came out.
I hope HBO doesn't cut off A Song of Ice and Fire as quickly as they cut out Carnivale.
The top fight scene was from Troy?
Yeah, someone needs to redo the list without the YouTube bias.
It's an extremely deep film, that touches on a lot of subjects without subjecting the audience to a plethora of necessary extremity, while maintaining a very simple story that operates on a subtle heroic level.
I think the question is, why didn't you think much of it when you first saw it?
Excellent suggestion, and I joined. Thanks!
WB suggested I joined this. So here's mine. Looks fun!
Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies. I especially liked the weirdly not-centered music.
