Definitely agree. Sometimes I just think more about the movie and an hour after seeing it I'm like "Wait! That was fucking stupid!"  :lol... or sometimes somebody will offer a different perspective on something I didn't like, which causes me to change my opinion a bit. Things take time to process, so yeah, that first reaction doesn't always stick.

There are quite a few classic movies that I have not seen.   But if I see them as being "culturally significant" then I will usually try to watch it just so I can gain a better understanding of the references in other parts of pop culture. 

Apocalypse Now is a good example.   I avoided it for a long time.   I saw it once.  I can see *why* it moved people so much, and I can see why it is culturally significant.   But for me, it was simply too gruesome and disturbing for repeated viewings.     It is not something I would choose to be entertained by.    That being said, I'm glad I saw it at least once because it made *A LOT* of other things make sense.

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy. I liked it. Nothing ground-breaking, but good entertainment.

Question: which of the six Infinity Gems was that supposed to be? The Tesseract was Space, the Aether was Power, which one was the Orb?

I thought the Aether was Destruction (if destruction was one of them) and the new stone (which was inside the orb) was the Power Gem

Naw, the six stones are Soul, Place, Time, Reality, Power and Mind. And I think I remember reading that the Aether was supposed to be Power, though I might be misremembering things.

Yes, the Aether was definitely an Infinity Stone.

They are all MacGuffins.

So the "really good book you did not enjoy" thread got me thinking I should post this.

I watched Tarkovsky's Solaris the other day and I can't say I enjoyed it at all save for a few parts. There are some beautiful shots (especially in the beginning) and it has its moments (I thought the ending was pretty awesome), but the movie as a whole just didn't interest me in the slightest. I felt like I was watching something great but just wasn't getting anything out of it.

Nice idea. I would have to think a bit, but one that often comes up is Watchmen. I know a lot of people who loved it, some who even holds it as one of the best comic book movies ever made. To me, it was just pretty boring. I can see the appeal, but those 3 hours felt like 15 hours. It wasn't AS bad as Sucker Punch, but almost.

I mostly agree. I LOVED the comic and the movie was meh. I liked some things about it, but meh. And I'll never forgive them for the "Hallelujah" sex scene :puke:

Galaxy Quest by miles! I couldn't even make it through Spaceballs. Maybe that kind of surface level stupid parody was funny back then, but by today's standards it's painfully unfunny. *ducks*
And also, I'll take the Star Trek parody over the Star Wars one. :biggrin:

I agree !  :eek

I loved Spaceballs when I was younger but nowadays it's extremely juvenile. I don't mind Mel Brooks but Spaceballs has just aged badly and some of the jokes

are just far too on the nose.

Galaxy Quest is an hilarious homage to Star Trek which actually holds the source material in high regard. I see Tim Allen's character as being both Kirk & Shatner in

the same way as Zapp Brannigan is.

I didn't really like Blade Runner. I loved the premise, and the whole feel of the movie, but for me it fell far short of meeting its potential and creating a good story out of the setup.

I wouldn't really compare Spaceballs to Galaxy Quest, although I enjoy both very much.

But if I had to pick which one was better, I would say Spaceballs.  Every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

They're completely different types of satire.  Spaceballs is lampooning everything, intentionally making everything seem ridiculous.  You have to know the source material to even understand any of the jokes or what's going on.  Galaxy Quest presents itself as a "serious" movie, and could almost stand on its own, but familiarity with the source material gives you an extra level of appreciation, as it's a more subtle form of satire.  I like them both, and own copies of each.  I used to prefer Spaceballs and found Galaxy Quest just silly; at some point, they completely switched places on me.  Now I find Galaxy Quest to have the more enduring replay value, and the over-the-top, joke-per-minute style of Spaceballs gets tedious.  But it depends on my mood, and obviously everyone's taste is different.

Yeah, he's one of the few people I'll see just about anything for, though I haven't seen his last few. Last one I think was Tambien la lluvia/Even the Rain a few years back. That was great.

Yeah, finally saw a trailer for that at the drive-in last week and it looks sweet!

Last week at the drive-in we watched Dolphin Tale 2 (lol), Into the Storm (eh.. bad acting/writing but the storm/action scenes were pretty cool) and Guardians of the Galaxy (again)  :metal

They charge $8 for three movies, so it's totally worth it and even if the movies are shite it's a blast- you get to hang in your own car, snack on whatever, talk, make fun of the movies, etc. I'm glad I got to go before the end of the season.
