re: Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" cast/plot revealed
Posted by The Star Lord on 11/7/14 at 12:52 am to SwaggerCopter
See the problem for me with Kill Bill was the dialogue. I didn't particularly find it engaging. And that's a problem for me with Tarantino because that is far and away the strength for his movies (at least for what he brings to the table). His scripts are solid, but not anything groundbreaking or noticeably unique, so dialogue is what takes them from being just solid movies to good-great movies. So while I didn't dislike Kill Bill, I can't really say I liked it either. That was Tarantino's mulligan for me.

Welp, can't view this thread again until late Saturday. Can we get a spoiler tag on this thread please?

Cool. Private property rights are far more important to me than someone's feelings and insecurities.
You know what's funny when you liberals starting throwing around the term racist when people disagree with your worldview? Not only do you reveal your hypocrisy and devalue the power of the term, you are actually demonstrating your own bigotry. You become a bully, one far worse than those your criticize. You also lose your self-appointed moral high ground of being all about diversity and promoting equality.
Free will always and always will be more important than someone's emotions

For me, I don't give a damn how similar or dissimilar it was to the book. If I wanted the book, I would have read the book.
Was a very good movie. Flew under the radar a bit, but was an enjoyable movie.

I'll link it up later. Sounded half genius/half batshit crazy and not seriously in a bad way.

Okay good. One concern is alleviated. Did you ever read the synopsis for the 2008 draft on reddit? If so, differences?

David owelyo (bad spelling I know) is supposedly the lead villain in this movie. Most likely he is the darth maul of the movie that's the front/face for the greater evil.
re: Bill Simmons fires back at Mike Golic

Golic doesn't know shite either. That meathead has anecdotal stories that counter each other all the time. Those two exist only to offer the narrative that the suits tell them to spew. That's it. Simmons claims to be a bad boy, yet he has no problem being a little corporate tool as well. He can keep his arse at espn where he belongs. I don't want him anywhere near fox sports.

So for those who have seen it, how closely does it resemble the synopsis of the 2008 draft that was posted on reddit? Obviously Murphy is now a girl, but other than that, any noticeable changes?
Oh and for someone who believes man-made climate change/global warming is a load of progressive shite, will this movie's beginning bother me? Or is it just a minor part of the whole that starts the larger story/journey?

I can't stand mike and mike or their show, but golic is completely right. Simmons is pompous, self-righteous, pious, overrated, squirmy little shite who thinks way too much of himself and his opinions. Doesn't help that the little prick presents himself as an objective knowledgeable stat guy, but he has zero sense of perspective and he is horrible with his boston bias.
In short, bill Simmons needs to have a coke and smile and shut the frick up.

re: Hollywood just can't stop inundating us with sequels. Toy Story 4 is official.
Posted by The Star Lord on 11/6/14 at 5:34 pm to Cs
Okay so I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind continuing franchises or movies. Hey if you have a story to tell and someone to listen/watch, by all means. With that said, my first reaction to this was a big "Hell No, why??" I literally said that out loud in our office. I feel that the story is concluded, you've ended it. Andy letting go of his toys was in way me (and millions of people who were kids/teens when Toy Story was released) letting go of the franchise. Everyone has had to let go of pieces if not all of our childhood. That was so symbolic, that initially, I was completely against this.
Now that I've been talked down off the edge, I am reminded by the fact that Pixar has never made a movie that wasn't good. I've watched them all at least twice and I wouldn't rate a single one less than a 7.5 and only one is under an 8 to me (Brave).
I'm interested in seeing where they go with the story. Part of me wants for then to reveal how exactly the toys began to come alive. But it better not suck or be some half-assed cheesy explanation.
Well it's coming now, so ain't no use in getting mad over things I have no control over.

re: I realize we're supposed to have learned from the LeBron/Heat beginnings...
Posted by The Star Lord on 11/6/14 at 11:39 am to c on z
They are trying to be the Spurs overnight. They need to let that go. LeBron is being too passive. You are the best player on the team so take over the top and the rest will sort itself out. They really should have just kept Wiggins, and signed Miller and Marion like they did, and then signed another big or two (What the hell makes them think that Sideshow Bob is worth 30 mil over the next 3 years?!?!), but you can't go back now.

I hope this movie doesn't turn into another Gravity. I still won't trust any critic that gave that movie any grade above mediocre.

Interesting title. Thought the 'The Ancient Fear' title would have been a little more right, but as long as the movie is good, they can call it Star Wars: The Cash Grab for all I care.
