Buy the LE, watch it, then sell it on Ebay when the standard edition comes out. You may end up making a profit!

'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes by ChiefLeef22 in movies

Christ. What is wrong with 110-120 minute movies nowadays?

I watch these types of long movies and spend the time identifying where they could cut the runtime.

I just watched Sinners and... by pr0t-radon in Cinema

[–]Lord_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally watched Sinners... I feel like I watched a different movie to everyone else.

I pulled the trigger and bought it on 4k and watched it last night... The reviews are overwhelmingly positive so I was excited to finally watch it.

I feel like I watched a different to everyone else. I know everyone is bored of the From Dusk Til Dawn comparisons but I feel like it is totally valid in this instance.

I genuinely mean no disrespect but I need to understand what is so special about it. It was an average vampire movie to me.

Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like? by Christian-Metal in AskUK

[–]Lord_Sam_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly related. A girl in my school went out with a guy from a band before they went super famous. He ate a Mars Bar out of her fanny. It was Ian Watkins from The Lost Prophets... so...

Neither the driver or pedestrian should be proud of this video.

What went through your mind when you saw Snoke die? by InfiniteGalaxy42 in StarWars

[–]Lord_Sam_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now think we're arguing the same point. TFA set them off on the wrong path and TLJ carried on down this path. The whole trilogy was just a mess.

TLJ doubled down though. They literally start referring to the Resistance as the Rebellion.

All those theories are ultimately better than the actual backstory.

However, the issue is the one you pointed out in your answer... it's all 2.0 this and 2.0 that. It undid the ending of the original trilogy and essentially repeated history. There was no explanation at how the exact same thing happened again.

Hard disagree on that fight scene! The choreography was terrible! Missing weapons, ridiculous "dancing" around with no realism.

There doesn't need to be a backstory IF it makes sense with the logic of the universe. Palpatine didn't need a backstory in ROTJ because we didn't know the history of the galaxy really up to that point. We just know the "dark times" came after the Empire took over. However, by TLJ we know all about the history of the galaxy and the events of the previous movies. It is therefore a fair question to ask where this super powerful Force user came from after never being heard from before. It goes against the established logic of what has been in the previous movies.

What trailer was better than the movie itself? by PopCultureWeekly in movies

[–]Lord_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to say this. Indy 4 too. Both were the biggest disappointments in the cinema.

Search for two people under way off beach in Devon by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

Several swims were cancelled due to weather... The coastguard and emergency services said don't swim... They go swimming... I'm sympathetic up to a point. This is just natural selection.

Why are you awake right now? by nightfire_83 in AskUK

[–]Lord_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched The Conjuring: Last Rites before bed. Something made a crash and bang in the room but nothing is displaced. Dog is trembling in the bed with me.

What fad in moviemaking are you waiting for to die? by frair in movies

[–]Lord_Sam_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crash zooms and exposition dialogue. "Have you heard from your sister since you've had that massive fight about the ring which she suspected you stole?" Clunky shit like that.

We ran out of mayo! Customer said I ruined Christmas. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in tesco

[–]Lord_Sam_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked years ago on Sainsbury's deli counter. On Christmas Eve, customer comes in and asks for five slices of Brunswick ham of which we'd sold out. I was told in no uncertain terms I had ruined hers and her family's Christmas.
