What was the last movie you've seen?

[Luke]

Will Luke live his dream of becoming the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

I'm making progress, but my biggest hurdle to jump is finding an African American cousin who is named after a cheap cigarette. Wherefore out thou Carlton?

That Friends intro made me sad...

Any one else feels past times were betters times? Things just seem so much calmer, peaceful, and people were nicer. I am not sure if its just with me, but I have asked many people of different ages and they kind of all agree that life from pre-2003 or so was better. Its not about quality of life or money, its something else I can't put my finger on it...

maybe today the world is just too commercial...

Technology is possibly turning people into apathetic arseholes. Now that's an idea for an app: How to be nice to others.

[catnip]

I think, with any technological advancement (or many advancements in general), there's gonna be growing pains. I think that one of the major problems with the internet is, while it "brings people together" in a globalization stance (good), it also separates us physically from others that we would normally have to see in-person. I think this has a not-so-fantastic effect on our daily lives and interactions.

That said, I think we'll get through it. I think our society is on an upswing (especially if we can get my fellow Vermonter BERNIE SANDERS in office, woot woot), and hey, I'd much rather live in a time with internet and portals of instant communication in my pocket, than an age with... beepers. *shudder*

I do miss Friends, though.

Huh?

Weird.

Can't believe the first F4 "reboot' is almost a decade old.

Well the Raimi Spider-Man films were okay, besides 3 and the Webb reboot is pretty awful.

The original Fantastic Four movies are terrible so maybe the inverse will be true here? Or maybe it'll still be terrible.

Fantastic Four largely depends on its over-the-top villains to be interesting and the old ones failed on that count spectacularly.

Don't go making Dr. Doom into an evil businessman with random metal powers, he's a crazed dictator who is a mad scientist that went to college with Reed, misses his gypsy sorceress mommy and is also a wizard.

Don't go making Galactus into a cloud/swarm of intergalactic cockroaches, he's a giant in a funny hat with god-like power.

It's silly! It's supposed to be silly. The movie is going to be silly no matter what you do so just embrace the silliness full-on, Hollywood.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET is entertaining, but I've seen it all before. By that I mean, I have both seen the same movie before, and I've also seen GOODFELLAS which is basically the same, but better movie.

Martin wrote the same paint by numbers formula, added tons of pussy (lots of full frontal of women, but not a single penis is shown) and Jonah Hill as Joe Pesci.

How this movie was up for any Oscar goes to show that the Oscars are bullshit. That VW commercial inspired by Darth Vader is bounds better as far as crafting goes.

Now had I never seen one of Marty's movies I would be a tad impressed (would still have plenty to say how too damned long the movie is) but it is nothing new, nothing surprising, nothing that would ever want me to recommend it to anyone.

**spoilers**

I thought it was new, I never saw a story about a guy deceiving people into buying penny stocks (its also a true story), living a crazy life, doing drugs, making to the top in like 3 years. If we assume that any movie about a regular guy making it rich then falling is the same movie, we can say about that for every movie that has a hero that is trying to fight a super villain and winning, a cop that catches the murderer, A guy that tries to win a girl's heart and does, America winning the war, scam artist that rob a big company/organization and get away with it... You get the idea.

If you meant that they are using the same formula, that is true in most movies too. I don't see how Slum Dog Millionaire, Hurt Locker, or Argo were any better. I agree , Oscars are bullshit.

I know in some high-level writing classes you hear about "The (x) number of plotlines in the world" with X being anywhere from like 12 to like 3. Just all about how much you distill down any given story.
