That's just the type of stuff that Hollywood has been doing to pretty much everything that anybody loved for years. I'm just laughing in general. Not at you, Brenda. I'm just glad that I don't really have any emotional attachments to any of the major properties and I'm just observing it all going down. I think at one point I would have said that when they finally get around to remaking and ruining The Goonies is the day that they'll finally break me, but I don't think I really care anymore at this point.

Including best screenplay." -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

It is sad. I know you've been recounting box office failures for the last while. Now, I am waiting for other stuff to come on DVD like "Killers of the October Moon". Think I will have better luck with that.

Think I will have better luck with that. I'm not telling anybody not to watch anything. I mean, even if I'm heavily implying it at times, and I won't argue that is not the case, I have no place to tell anybody what they can and can't watch or even what they should or shouldn't watch. I'm nobody special. I do like hearing when people do get around to watching things that I haven't yet or just plain won't watch though. I do believe your chances of enjoying Killers of the Flower Moon will be several hundred times greater than the chances of you enjoying Indy 5 were. I have no real reason not to watch that flick other than it just isn't very interesting to me. I've watched more stuff in the last 2 months than the previous 3 years combined, and it's still not a whole lot. I just don't watch a lot of things that Hollywood puts out anymore, and its gotten increasingly rare for something to grab me. It's why I'm so hard on things that I don't enjoy after watching them now. It's not even because I put a premium value on my time or anything. But if I make a conscious effort to sit down and watch something I expect that I'm going to find it enjoyable. I just don't like being wrong. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Sorry, if I implied you are telling people not to watch things. I didn't mean that at all.
Quote:Oh, I am fairly certain that "Killers of the Flower Moon" will be more interesting that Indy 5. "Killers" has interest to me as I know very little about the Osage. I know oil was found in Oklahoma but not where. And this film implies that a lot of it was found on Osage land and that I know wouldn't have pleased a whole lot of whites. Especially when you have a white main character married to an Osage.
Quote:Well, being wrong happens. I was hoping Indy would go out with a bang and not a whimper.
Quote:PS. Thank you for correcting me about the title. I am horrible with names.

Quote:Well, being wrong happens. I was hoping Indy would go out with a bang and not a whimper. He went out in a bang. As far as I'm concerned, there were only 3 Indiana Jones movies. There were only 3 Star Wars movies. There were only 2 Ghostbusters movies. There were only 2 Terminator movies. Etc., etc., etc... Quote:PS. Thank you for correcting me about the title.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Yeah. Don't feel bad throwing their trash additions out of a series. They don't feel bad when they do it. Disney and Kathleen Kennedy threw out the entire extended Star Wars universe that was sanctioned by George Lucas himself and had been growing for decades before she made that decision. She then had the nerve to cry poor when her things started failing left and right saying things like "it's not easy making these stories. it's not like we were given a map or anything". I'm paraphrasing, but the absolute nerve of somebody to say that, given the circumstances that THEY inflicted upon everyone else. James Cameron decided to throw out all of the Terminator movies except for his first two when he came back as a producer for the woke Terminator movie he added where he killed off CGI John Connor in the first 5 minutes and made a new female Mexican savior for the human race, who was an exact carbon copy of John Connor except he had female parts and he was born in Mexico instead of America. Sorry buddy. I don't accept your fate for John Connor as canon anymore than I care to recognize any of the crappy movies they did after you quit. There are only 2 Terminator movies. -------------------------------------------------- Trump will be fine. He will also be your next President.

Quote:I know about chucking the expanded Star Wars universe that George Lucas approved. That ticked me off so badly it wasn't funny. She had the road map in front of her direct from the guy who created it all.
Quote:I've seen the Terminator movies but I don't really remember all of them. So that is probably just as well.
Quote:I've not seen much of the new Ghostbusters films except for the all female one and I wasn't impressed.

Quote:I've seen the Terminator movies but I don't really remember all of them. So that is probably just as well. The first one was one of those movies my old man rented and let us watch when we were probably way too young. We'd seen a lot of them by then. Terrifying seeing Arnold as a bad guy for the first time. A year or so later the sequel came out. He took us all out to see it at the full price theaters, which was a rarity. When it made its way to the dollar theater we probably saw it half a dozen times there. The special effects still hold up today for the most part, and they were revolutionary to the industry at the time. The third movie was a turd, and there was little of interest that came out afterward. Those were the old and expected problems with Hollywood wrapped up in a little bow, and they were just expected at that point. I didn't really get angry about it until they killed John Connor off to make way for super Mexican girl, rendering the entire plot of the first two movies completely pointless.

Well, I do feel a little bad as 4 and 5 complete the series but yeah. Not going to cry over them. Yeah... I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I do intend to rewatch the original trilogy at some point. The Last Crusade was the perfect ending. They knew it when they filmed it too. Money does stupid things to people. Quote:I know about chucking the expanded Star Wars universe that George Lucas approved. That ticked me off so badly it wasn't funny. She had the road map in front of her direct from the guy who created it all. Yeah. And not only that, but a vast majority of that expanded universe was written by fans and approved by George himself.

Quote:I know the majority of it was written by fans and that is why George approved all the books that were written. I've got a good number of them and they are great.
Quote:I saw the first Terminator movie on VHS and it was good and I know I saw the second one too.
Quote:No the all female Ghostbusters wasn't that bad but it didn't really do anything for the franchise is all. Ha, ha.

It's the only one I saw in the theater, so it's special just for that reason. I saw Temple of Doom first, on a tiny TV at my Grandma's house when my dad rented it. Doesn't matter that it was on a tiny TV. It was awesome. Quote:I know the majority of it was written by fans and that is why George approved all the books that were written. I've got a good number of them and they are great. I never read any of them, but my brother was an avid collector and read tons of them. He's the only reason I knew about how many other people were contributing to it and that if a book was officially published than it was because George Lucas approved of it. I think that's really cool. How many other things can you think of that had something like that surrounding them in an official capacity. Shame that it was just tossed away by rich people who didn't care about or respect it. Quote:I saw the first Terminator movie on VHS and it was good and I know I saw the second one too. I haven't seen either of them in 20 years, but saw them a ton when I was a kid. Especially Judgement Day. Quote:No the all female Ghostbusters wasn't that bad but it didn't really do anything for the franchise is all. Ha, ha.
