Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

That's a whole 'nother rabbit hole. There are original drafts of Avatar that are actually fucking dark and pretty damn serious. They can be found. Some interesting ideas in them that the official movie would've greatly benefited from. It was about on par with Terminator 2 in terms of overall tone, but I don't think it would've gone over as well.
Dammit. That's an Avatar I'd want to watch.
To put that in a slightly less confusing way, I don't think people thought Moon was good for the same reasons they thought Source Code was good, so if you don't like Moon as much as other people I'm not sure this has anything to do with how much you'd like Source Code.
It was just fun. As opposed to Clash, which left me just irritated.
And Zeus and Hades teaming up, just tearing shit apart. Yes.

Same here. It's why I'm such a Nolan fanboy.

Are any of the sequels worth watching? I can't imagine they'd be as much fun without Kevin Bacon...
Then I learned he actually didn't give a shit about anything in life and was actually incapable of being committed to things, and also hated the concept of learning.
We don't talk much these days.
You are, in fact, absolutely correct.
At best, they're just friends.
Yeah I got the impression that they'd met a few times but hadn't dated or anything yet.
- Die in a huge explosion
- Live as a vegetable in an experiment
- Steal a guy's body and awkwardly live out his life
Which do you choose? It's creepy, but I have this thing in me that makes me want to not die, so I'd probably pick Option #3, just as he did.
I see Scarlett and I'm all :winky: and then I watch the clip and I'm all D:
Everything about that scene was awful. Not even cheesy awful. The Dialogue sucked, and the choreography was just as bad. But her boobs jiggle, sooo......
It was very...TVish. That clip would not have looked out of place on Buffy or Firefly.
I'd have to go for #3 too.
Speaking of Moon, what are people's general opinions? I really liked it, but I don't know if it was because it referenced a lot of earlier scifi films or not. It did make me realize how much of it was a "standing on the shoulders of giants" thing, though, even as I watched it.
Like the
Moon was amazing and I think it was amazing complete apart from its context within a larger genre, but that doesn't matter: even if it were a good movie only because of references, it would still be a good movie. Art doesn't exist in a vacuum. It speaks to us in different ways, and if one way it speaks to us is by joining a conversation and elaborating on what has been said, then so be it.
What I liked about Moon was the soundtrack, the amazing visual effects and design, the stupendous acting, and
and personally the whole
thing I could take or leave: it's not like the movie hung the entire plot on that or tried to mislead us about it or dropped a bunch of hints or anything.
Well
I hope you get that I wasn't putting the film down.
I was just speaking to how it presupposes some genre conventions instead of integrating them more fully.
I think Jones felt it necessary to do that, though, because the film had become very much about that, even if by proxy. Like the robot quandary, it's another one of those things that, like "The Company" in Alien, is now ingrained in our scifi consciousness.
After so many films in which future companies are either incompetent or outright malevolent in nature, I think he felt it's an issue that needs to be addressed if you bring up the idea of a corporation with murky motives.
Enjoy it. I haven't seen an action movie that well paced for a very long time.
You know that if an action movie has a villain named Mad Dog, that he will be super awesome (c.f. Hard Boiled).
In theory, sure. But he's already past that point and it's safe to assume it's going to happen.
He probably doesn't even know where he lives!
Actually, make that strongly recommended. Worth a full price ticket - no matinee price required to feel good about cost vs. return.

Yep. I mean, it gets all soap opera, but you could just go, "Sorry, but I'm different person now. We would be living a lie if we stayed together."
Then you'd get on your motorcycle and spend the rest of the season in the wilderness living in a cabin you built with your hands until trouble back in town forces your inevitable return.
I was thinking more romantic comedy. You know, with him meeting his own parents - either pair.
Fairly good, with some very funny moments. Its a movie about Moon Nazis, if you expect more I think there is something wrong with you. Special Effects where good for a movie with its budget.
However... in the previews there was a trailer for Battleship and I got to say... No, just no.
Its not going to be more fun then Iron Sky and despite having a special effects budget three times the size of Iron Sky it doesn't look as good. I have already seen one movie with invasions from space and big explosions, why pay to see another. I am not going to spend money to see a Michael Bay knockoff when I have sworn of the man himself.
There wasn't. The original games were battles between navy fleets (and submarines), that's why adding aliens to the film is so ridiculous. Okay, more ridiculous then it already is.
Right. Is there even some sort of tie-in anymore? Or is it just the name and a freed-up "IP" with Hasbro?
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
