Also why not?

I just cannot get my head around the entire concept. Of all films in HISTORY, why re-boot the original Terminator?!? On top of that, why the 2nd?

It's actually not a reboot from what I've heard, it's more like a spiritual successor/sequel to the first two movies (they're just ignoring T3 and Salvation) with over the top action and cheesy one-liners. Apparently James Cameron approves.

Well, please post an honest review in this thread after you see it.

Will do.

Also they rebooted/remade Robocop, Total Recall and Jurassic Park, I can't see why they wouldn't reboot Terminator....Before we know it, they'll reboot something totally cheesy like Jaws.

I don't think you remember Jaws too well. The sequels are cheesy, but that first film is fantastic.

I didn't word it properly, I wasn't saying Jaws was cheesy, I was trying to say that a reboot of Jaws would be loaded with fancy CGI and cheesy cliches.

I actually never saw Jaws or any of its sequels, but honestly with a movie like Jaws, the suspense disappears once you've seen the movie for the first time imo. That's also probably why the sequels sucked.

Gonna say this right now. Jaws is probably up there for the most times I've watched a movie.

 

The shark is a key component of the film, yes. But the strength of that first film is the characters. Without them, it would be another corny flick. They're all fairly likeable and understandable people. Even the Mayor who doesn't close the beaches has understandable reasons for why he isn't. The reason the sequels failed was because there wasn't the same level of care taken for the characters. Just on the shark. Or it just did stupid **** that had any reasonable explanation cut from the script. Like 4.

The best scene from Jaws is this.

Spoiler

So you can get an understanding of what I mean.

This one. Still damn good.

Testament of Youth



Based on a memoire by pacifist Vera Brittain, this movie is about the tragic losses she suffered during WWI as a privileged student at Oxford who postponed her education to volunteer as a nurse, and who ironically ended up in a ward at the French front lines tending grievously wounded German POWs. It was an interesting story, but I wish the film had found some time to show some of Vera's other friends in who survived WWI (she must have had them, right?) instead of spending endless time on long lingering shots of lead actress Alicia Vikander's soulful and very attractive face.

Also, the movie got a bit preachy near the end, I guess in case the anti-war message wasn't obvious enough.

Still very entertaining.

Saw the original film eight times in the theater as I was in Basic, and prices were low. The suspense remained, though not as complete as the initial viewing, but was replaced with the sight of soldiers leaping from their chairs and spilt popcorn.

And while the sequels were not as good, only Jaws: The Revenge seemed to enter into the realm of ridicule. And Jaws 3-D was rather good if one avoided the silly need to wear special glasses to watch it.

Jaws came out in '75. You're older than I thought

Nope 3 is still bad with or without.
SeaWorld might be a horrible, inhumane institution. But they don't keep great whites in captivity for a reason. Which the characters that worked there seemed to have forgotten about.

The Revenge has the problem that they cut out alot from the original script. Granted that script was stupid. But there's more explanation to why the shark is literally tracking the Brody's down...Voodoo!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

 

The 4th installment in the epic series

 

Harry is mysteriously entered in an inter school competition called the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

 

The revolving door of Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers brings us Alistair "Mad Eye" Moody", played with hammy glee by Brendan Gleesson

 

The elaborate plot to resurrect Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) bears fruit for his followers

 

well done and if a tad overlong is well paced

 

"Twilight" fans will note the "dreamy" Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory

Not what I was expecting, but I liked it nonetheless.

[Cknarf]

Chappie. Thought it was pretty good. Aaaaaand then I sat down to watch a movie with my wife.

 

 

Netflix description: "A white supremacist kills a cop, and takes Danny Glover and his fam hostage"

 

"This looks interesting." I say. Wife's just like whatevs.

 

The movie starts, and of course, whitebread starts dropping N-bombs.

 

Wife goes "Wow, he's said it twice already."

 

And my intoxicated ass goes. "He's a nazi, babe. Like he ain't gonna say [n-word] a million times."  

 

Yep. I said it. I dropped the bomb. In front of my very black wife.

 

She got all mad, and I was like 'yo, it's all about context, girl' but she wasn't having it. She still won't talk to me lol.

 

Really though, I'm not a child.  I'm not going to sit there, look around, and then whisper "He said the N-word." in my own damn house. It wasn't directed toward anyone, and I'm pretty, you know, not racist. You think she of all people would know, but hey, whatever man.  She'll come around.

 

I'll appease her with alcohol tonight. I'm willing to bet she's more upset about the fact that I didn't bring her any booze last night.

Ha. One time I was like "Hey babe, you should watch the Bonndock Saints, it's good."

 

Aaaand then she wanted to shut it off after an N-bomb. Like, really?

 

I don't know if ya'll have ever seen Red State, but its' about some crazy WBC types that are all 'God hates everything' and they end up killing some gay people.

 

"I can't watch this. Ugh, this is disgusting."

 

"Babe, it's a movie. Also, they'll get theirs in the end too, I bet."

 

There was a big 'ol fight about her being an SJW weenie, so I said **** it and finished it in my car lol.  

 

She still fine tho.
