Are you joining them too, my son? 😁 We weren't harassed, nor were we even noticed (we possessed a certain cloak of minor invisibility 😁)
I’ve been eating nothing but fast food three times a day for about four days now. 😁
And honestly, I'm feeling the consequences. 😁
On the bright side, my experience at the Sundance Film Festival was actually quite solid. Great films, great atmosphere, and plenty of fun.
I don't understand why people are complaining about the large number of young people attending. What exactly would you prefer? A crowd of makeup artists and pretentious film critics who show up to watch a movie, only to spend the rest of their time in ultra-expensive casinos, restaurants, and hotels, loudly debating some director's artistic retrospective?
It's a shame I didn't have more money to catch more screenings. I specifically regret missing Punch-Drunk Love and The Hours, though I assume they'll end up in video rental stores soon enough, so it isn't a huge loss.
I have to admit, Russian Ark caught me completely off guard. I was expecting some claustrophobic film set in a single room where people just walk in and out, but instead... well, I was totally blindsided.

BUD SPENCER He’s the undisputed heavyweight champion here.
But in all seriousness, I'm inclined to believe Chuck Norris isn't some kind of fraud either... I can't say for certain, but my gut tells me he's the real deal.
I suspect the connection between HAL 9000 and IBM was purely coincidental, though I can't say for certain. My personal favorite has to be...
It's hard to say...
R2-D2 is an absolute classic, and the parent figure from the extraterrestrial film was a fascinating concept. Even the Red Queen from Resident Evil had its merits.
However, if we are being honest, the EMH from Star Trek is superior—nothing else even comes close.😉
Bravely Bold Sir Robin song Rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin He was not in the least bit scared To be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes cut out And his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split And his body burned away And his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raised and his bottom burned up And his penis... Sir Robin: That's... that's enough music for now, lads..
Sir Robin song lyrics, Bravely ran away, away When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Brave Sir Robin turned about so gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to defeat he took a very brave retreat Brave Sir Robin...
What else is on the bonfire besides witches? MORE WITCHES!!!
Ili: - Where on earth did you find a coconut? - That’s irrelevant... - Not really. Coconuts belong in tropical climates, not out here in the States. - A swallow might head south for the winter, but it doesn't mean it isn't a regular visitor to our shores. - Are you seriously implying that coconuts migrate??
Hey, what about that Crimson track, permanent assurance? "It's fun to charter an accountant and sail the wide accountant-sea" 😁 😁 Personally, I think my only superior choice would be the philosopher's song 😁
Look, the core premise was clearly lifted from some episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (though let's be honest, most of these films recycle the same tropes), but beyond that, I was actually expecting something along the lines of Star Trek: Insurrection—if not something even better...
Regardless of how derivative the theme might be, I find myself liking it. It feels like a blend of The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.🙂. You have Picard's Nemesis (the man himself), Kirk's Nemesis (Khan, with his superior intellect), and an ending that hits all the right notes, topped off by an excellent space battle.🙂 It’s almost absurd that it took them ten whole installments—spanning Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and the USS Enterprise—to finally realize that starships can actually collide with one another.😁 And don't even get me started on the tactical utility of evasive maneuvers, or the impossibility of fighting Romulans when you're facing Remans (just trading torpedoes back and forth like that)🙂 and other brilliant tactical nuances. I am genuinely impressed.🙂
edit: Oh, and they actually incorporate evasive maneuvers Kirk epsilon👍.
Is there some specific reason for this, or do you simply have an aversion to sci-fi films (perhaps you clicked on this thinking you were watching some Swedish educational documentary and ended up here by mistake)?
After finishing The Matrix Reloaded, I couldn't just walk away without checking out Nemesis—so I just watched it, and here we go.
I expected very little, but I ended up getting much more. The movie leans heavily on Khan's fury, which works fine for me. It’s packed with action (nearly an hour's worth), features more than one instance of James Bond-style nonsense, includes Admiral Janeway 🙂 (who actually holds the rank before Picard does), touches on some interesting mysticism regarding those Romulans and Remans, and delivers one very solid narrative thread: The series featuring Kirk concluded with the reconciliation between the Federation and the Klingons. This film hints at a peace between the Federation and the Romulans, effectively bringing the "circle" to a close. There are no more of Kirk's enemies left 😢, oh well.
As I stated, this film was far better than I anticipated (and by a significant margin, considering I'd mostly heard nothing but trash talk about it). It certainly made an impact on me initially; I'll have to see how I truly feel about its quality after a second viewing.
My only grievances involve some temporary logical inconsistencies—even more egregious than what is typical for Star Trek—but regardless, for now, I would give it a 👍
mellowwalker22 said:swiftcobra15 What kind of nonsense have you been swallowing lately? First off, let’s get one thing straight: a human being is a biological entity. The very structure of our digestive system says enough on its own. And don't even get me started on that United Nations talk—we aren't swine, for heaven's sake. Get a grip. 🙄
Purely hysterical! 😁 What absolute nonsense. Look, I have no interest in getting into an argument with mellowwalker22. The guy is like a Duracell battery—he just never runs out of energy. 🙂 It’s just a matter of having a few more stomachs and eyes positioned right on the temples. 🙂)

That’s from M*A*S*H. Beyond that, I’m not entirely sure—I have a specific scene playing in my head, but you might be right that there are others. I can't say for certain...
To be honest, I found Fisher King a bit bizarre when I was just a kid—I actually rushed to see it the second it hit theaters—but looking back, I can appreciate it much more now.
