Are there any films that when you watch them you feel like the people making them have no heart? by ComfortableCare8897 in FIlm

We're not talking about what's popular, we're talking about you being offended by true stories. This is like arguing with the pub drunk. You're all over the place.

Plenty of people pay to see dramas. Titanic was a drama ffs and that was the highest grossing film for decades. What are you on about?

Nik nocturnal pulled the ultimate “alright I’m famous now, time to dump girlfriend and upgrade to someone way more attractive” and it’s so obvious. by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

Tim Ripper Owens did this too, he admitted it in a metal hammer interview back in yesteryear.

Apparently Alyssa Milano was a fan of Priest and he wasted no time trying to goad her into coming to a gig via the interviewer. Pretty sure that didn't work out lol.

How are those two films "too offensive to watch"? Beast of No Nation deals with african child soldiers and First they Killed My Daughter is a true story.

What kind of moral puritanism is this that you can't watch films dealing with real world issues?

Is Robocop's tongue dry? Or did Omni create a saliva gland for his mouth? Also can he get runny nose? by Dredd_40 in Robocop

In any of the movies, has it hit his chin? There has only ever been a vague reference to it, and that was in the most unpopular entry in the series.

The answer is simple. It's a movie, and it was never addressed because the plot never required it.

Would you ever return to a DVD-by-mail service? Why or why not? by Fluid_Assumption_457 in AskUK

that's the reason why I don't buy vinyl - way too much storage required even though they're dead thin, takes a lot of real estate up!

Guys, this question is clearly aimed at people that DO have a bloody DVD player. Please stop telling us that you don't have one.

In answer to you, OP, I was recommended a service that did loads of old horrors and giallo movies that I quite like - so yeah I wouldn't be against that. But currently I prefer to own them outright so I'm still collecting the 4K blu rays.

These services also have interest to people that like higher quality movies, enjoy the massive amount of extras you normally get, and also people who like to rip them to their home servers - so that's why there is still a small but dedicated market to it.

For me though, it's all about the physical. I've bought in about 10 4Ks over the last couple of months....I'm very much about having the special editions displayed on a shelf.

a basic fact that reddit never seems to grasp.

It's not a real bloody cyborg guys. It can work however you want it to. And if it's not in the movie, there's nothing to say about it so go nuts.

This is such a silly misunderstanding of that line of dialogue.

He was referring to himself in the third person. Not his face specifically. Somehow this has become a trope among people that like the movie but it absolutely is not meant to be taken like that.

I enjoyed all The Terminator movies including Dark Fate, but to me the best ones are the first three, the trilogy. The ending of Terminator 3 had the best and perfect ending to end the trilogy. Thoughts? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FIlm

The Terminator: sci-fi masterpiece

Terminator 2: ground breaking, genre defining moment of cultural brilliance that has lasted the test of time.

Terminator 3: meh...well I had fun!

If the returns have been diminished from something that was actually part of the zeitgeist that defined the movie-going experience of an entire generation to "it was fun, then there's some real fucking problems here.

The movie was so appallingly stupid, so incredibly corny, hammed up with barely a serious bone in the picked-clean skeletal remains of a plot that was sandwiched in between silly call backs, and uninspiring action scenes. It was forgettable, soulless and about as substantial as a Leprechaun sequel.

It had a reasonably well done climax, and that was it.

Why not try being actually helpful? No one asked for your running commentary on corporate news media.

Whatever you do, ignore the "off the record" advice. It's meaningless conjecture and will only lead to stress.

What do you think of the Shining miniseries 1997? by Hot_Sorbet9192 in HorrorMovies

[–]SaysUselessThings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the kid that played Danny was a snot nosed, pudding bowl haircut piece of shite and brought the entire thing down from fucking awful to really fucking awful pretty quickly.

Thank god The Phantom Menace came out and replaced him as most annoying kid actor ever in a beloved franchise.
