I mean, look, the movie's alright, sure, but the script? It’s absolute garbage. Like, zero substance. Very interesting, very interesting... if you like wasting your time.
It’s all kind of a blur, honestly—just these hazy, half-remembered fragments floating around in my head. I definitely need to go back and give it another watch.
Man, my palms were sweating just watching this. It’s that rare moment where a director actually smells a killer story and knows exactly how to frame it without overthinking the damn thing. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for not catching this in IMAX. Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely crushed the lead role—he’s steadily becoming one of my all-time favorites.
it's basically just a clever little nod to that classic Golden Age era of Hollywood, claiming it’s boring or mindless or total garbage or whatever... 🤦
It’s this subtly witty, tangled web of politics, media, and big business, all wrapped up in that gorgeous Golden Age of Hollywood vibe. Honestly, I was pretty much glued to the screen watching this retrospective look back at the old studio system. What’s really wild, though, is how by the end of it all, even I couldn't tell where the acting stopped and the pure manipulation began. Just brilliant.
Can you people finally wrap your heads around the fact that over on the Prometheus thread, one of the moderators is blatantly playing favorites? They’re basically just siding with the group that keeps hammering on about how the movie is absolute garbage and totally worthless! And this is what passes for "normal discussion" in a section literally titled "Culture and Entertainment"? Anyone of us who actually enjoys a gritty, trashy Sci-Fi Monster Horror flick gets branded as some obsessive little fanboy. And you honestly want to call this "justice" under the guise of "freedom of speech"? Give me a break. You can't have someone deciding what free speech looks like when they're clearly backing only one side of the argument. That’s not freedom; that’s just cronyism and a massive conflict of interest. What kind of bullshit "free speech" is that?
Is it really not clicking for you yet? What do I have to do—write an 800-page dissertation on the Prometheus error just so you guys will finally get it?
David Richardson67 said:Honestly, I’m totally here for it. It’s actually pretty awesome that this topic is still getting heated after all this time. Let the people argue—let them go at it. I'm just glad the conversation hasn't died out yet. The only thing that really gets under my skin with these "lovers" is how they constantly try to play mind games with the haters. It’s like, give me a break. They go out of their way—sometimes subtle, sometimes not so much—to question whether the critics are actually smart enough to "get it," just because someone didn't like the movie or thought the script was total garbage. Like, sorry if I found the plot to be a complete mess, but don't act like I'm lacking brain cells just because I didn't buy into the hype.
Hold up a second. What’s the big deal that I posted a clip from a respected film critic actually admitting he overshot it when he originally trashed the movie? It's a video from 2012, for crying out loud. If we start policing stuff based on that kind of logic, we might as well just shut down every single thread on this forum right now. 🤷 So, what kind of subtle tactics is the hate crowd actually pulling here? What kind of low-key psychological warfare are we even talking about? Is it some kind of twisted version of the BTJ playbook? If they didn't have some biased moderator acting like their own personal Zorro bodyguard, the actual facts of history would've devoured them a long time ago.
Look, you all need to get this through your thick skulls: the Prometheus error is eternal. It’s constant. It's going to outlast me, it's going to outlast briskhound2, and honestly? It's going to outlive every single one of you losers too.
Seriously, what is the deal with Macado still being at Dinamo? It’s like he thinks he's untouchable. To people like Antolić, Čorić, or even that Moro guy, the dude is basically some football god or something. Absolute joke.
What we did back during the Euros was what we did, plain and simple. The Spanish are gonna absolutely wreck us, and those Czechs? They’re gonna run circles around the Turks like they're nothing.
The whole thing is just a direct reflection of how messy things are in the States right now.☕
I started watching this movie based on a recommendation from briskhound2, feeling pretty hyped and optimistic, but man, I just can't do it. As soon as I saw that part where they jam the barrel right into a terrorist's face during that first firefight, my stomach basically did a backflip, and let's be real—the intro is a total rip-off of Scott's Black Hawk Down.
If anyone can give me even one single good reason to stick with this, maybe I'll keep going...
I kind of remember the comic books through this hazy, half-forgotten fog, and they were actually pretty cool— just some wild adventure-detective nonsense.
So I open up this thread about remakes and started thinking... does anyone actually *want* a remake after the absolute dumpster fire that is Hollywood right now? When I saw some of these headlines, I was honestly kind of hyped. There are just a few titles out there that are practically begging for a reboot. Especially Quote : Logan's Run because they could finally use today's tech to make them even more mind-blowing than they already were.
oh, look at you leveling up, guess I don't have to 👍
