nimblemarlin17 said:I have to disagree there—Century Storm is actually a flawless horror tale that translated beautifully to the big screen.
It’s pretty interesting when you think about it, though—Century Storm was actually written specifically as a teleplay, so there wasn't even an original standalone novel before the movie came out. On topic: I actually ended up liking Dreamcatcher...
Aaarghhh!!! Where on earth is Bat Živojinović?!? Here’s a pitch for the screenwriters for the ultimate action movie: Bat Živojinović vs. Bruce... (man, I’d give anything to see that!)
Man, for me, Italo disco definitely hit the scene a little later than AC/DC—and honestly, things didn't really start picking up steam until around '83 anyway... back in 1984, I actually thought music could just pack it in and call it quits—mostly because we had already reached the absolute peak with "The Beach Boys" performing "Joy FM"... "...I mean, having a wide variety of musical tastes is super important, even if you feel that way!...!
AC/DC and Motörhead—those are my go-to international legends. Then you’ve got Azra and Čorba—the absolute kings of the local scene back in the day... Honestly, though, AC/DC are still the undisputed champions of the musical universe to me—I actually just treated myself to a double DVD set of them for Christmas!
There’s honestly so much value in keeping up with the threads here on the forum. To be honest, I was totally turned off by the advertisement for "The Returner" on that T3 DVD—it just didn't do anything for me—but now? Now I’m actually thinking about giving it a shot... My wife—who is an absolute superfan of Vin Diesel, by the way—insists that the Knockaround Guys absolutely SUCKS! On the other hand, rat raca is such a clever little satire of a movie; it reminds me of those Zucker flicks where it's just pure, unadulterated fun from start to finish! It’s funny how some movies look totally mindless at first glance, only to pleasantly surprise you later on. Take "Soul Survivors," for instance—it looks like your typical, cookie-cutter teen horror flick on the surface, but it actually has this really cool gothic vibe and plays with that whole "sixth sense" trope quite nicely...
One of the most intense scenes in the whole movie for me is when Slater shows up to let her former boss know she’s quitting... With all the fallout that comes with that decision... ..."No, it ain`t white boy`s day...!"
Johnny Depp basically carries this entire movie on his back—honestly, he’s just playing him with that same energy he used to pull off that role with Antonio Banderas, kind of like how he did with that elf in Pirates...
I’m honestly dying to see how they actually pull off having several thousand Agent Smiths crowded onto the screen at once... I mean, who knows—maybe we'll even get a few extra appearances from Monica Bellucci too...🙂
This entire thread is basically just one big tribute to Jackass—whether people love them or hate them, there's no middle ground... and honestly, I’m happy to join the club: those guys are absolutely out of their minds. If they’re actually doing all that crazy stuff just because they genuinely believe in the chaos—I mean, let's be real, it can't just be about the paycheck, especially since J. Knoxville is out there filming Men in Black II for the money... It's practically a rule of thumb at this point!
Honestly, though, I still think I Am Legend is the superior story, even if "28 ..." is clearly trying to ride its coattails.
I’ve also got another somewhat trivial gripe regarding the technical execution here: the corpses in "28 ..." look totally unrealistic—I mean, they’re supposedly decomposing after just a couple of weeks? It doesn't hold up. If you want to see how it's actually done, just compare them to the woman's body in Mulholland Drive—now *that* was genuinely gruesome!
