Look, Henry Campbell5, I know all about that, and please, don't drag me into your little skirmishes with the mods😁
Alright, let's get serious for a second
The music is high quality—it's a feast for both the ears and the eyes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PvebsWcpto Most American teenagers are loving this right now, and give it a few years and they'll be whining about how there's "no good music anymore" just like people did ten years ago... Now, whether this specific song is actually any good is a whole different debate. Personally? I think it's great.
You aren't even saying the good music doesn't exist; you're saying you have to dig through the trash to find it. So, who is actually responsible for this mess??? Is it Simon Cowell and those other industry moguls who have zero musical talent but a massive instinct for profit, or is it the audience, or someone else entirely????
McTiernan is easily the best director in the franchise 😁 It’s obvious they have more talent than Bay.
But when you watch The Rock, everything is crystal clear—you know exactly who's doing what and where. At least for me, back when I was 11 or 12 years old, it was 🤷
Morgan Brown4 said:Sorry to bump this thread, but I was wondering—is the OP also the author of the book coming out with the American edition of >? I'm noticing a lot of the same stuff from this discussion popping up in the book itself... Or was it just copied over? 😕🤷
He’s actually the author of several books on giallo, zombie films, and plenty of other scholarly works focused on horror in general. A top-tier expert who has made quite an impact right here on this forum.
Mark Wood79 said:I honestly have no clue where to find that "Ambassador" online, so I can't really help you out there. That's actually why I started this thread—to make sure everyone here catches this upcoming cycle since there isn't any other source available, at least not that I know of. Maybe some old classic cinema sites could have it...🤷
We’re moving into the Fadil Hadžić 60s era now! We've got the "alphabet of fear" coming up, plus that excellent detective flick "two sides of the coin" that I mentioned once before in my impressions.
Most of these movies are floating around the web, though some of them are in pretty rough shape...
Unfortunately, I haven't seen Love on Deer, which isn't online, and I seriously doubt they'll even screen it.
I’ve been scrolling through this thread and noticed a few legendary actors haven't even been mentioned yet...
Take Ratko Tankosic, for example. A true natural among naturals.
He was a total legend who elevated every single movie he stepped into to a whole new level.
And whenever people bring up Ckalja, you absolutely cannot forget Mija Aleksic. He was top-tier—he and Ckalja teamed up for some truly unforgettable comedies.
Then there's Ljuba Tadic. For me, he’s the most striking figure of them all. Just a powerhouse of an actor.
Rade Markovic was also fantastic, appearing in some truly exceptional films. He’s the father of Markovica's mountain man. A real answer to those Hollywood big shots. A true actor through and through.
I never could stand Will Smith. He’s just your typical wannabe cool guy. His son is alright, but honestly, the way they both try too hard is just exhausting.
Alright, let’s not get too off-topic here. I’m not exactly an expert on the whole Prometheus situation, but honestly? I think it could have been way better...🙂
I wouldn't go as far as saying there's actual frame-for-frame copying happening—people are really overhyping that whole argument. Honestly, every single remake involves some level of shot imitation. Take *The Next Three Days*, for example. It's just part of the process.
It really doesn't even matter—the movie was clearly rushed through production. To those of us who have seen the Swedish version, that's obvious. But honestly? Most Americans won't care. They aren't going to go out of their way to watch a foreign film anyway.
It's pretty obvious that the producers couldn't care less about what some folks in those tiny, backwater countries think. 😁
I watched the original all by myself at home, but I caught the remake in the theater. Man, that first one absolutely blew me away during a late-night marathon! This second one? It felt way too rushed for my taste. You're totally right about the violence, though—it’s definitely dialed back. I bet the producers trimmed it down because the first cut was probably over three hours long.
To be completely honest, I actually liked both versions... I gave them the exact same rating. The sequels from Sweden were honestly pretty mediocre, so I’m really hoping the Americans can turn things around.
Chris Roberts8 said:The whole Punk Rock lifestyle and fashion thing? That's long gone. But the music? That's here to stay.
I still run into punks every now and then—some pretty hardcore types, too! They definitely exist, just not as often as they used to. I've spotted plenty of them around here in the States, too.
