Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[venom lyrix]

I just watched "Hereafter" with Matt Damon, directed by Clint Eastwood and wow....this movie was terrible. It got such great reviews...and it was just awful...very disappointed.

Just finished watching "Paul" and it was really great!! Simon Pegg and Nick Frost hit another homerun as they wrote this film and starred.

Independence Day filmed in today's HD format/special effects would be GOAT alien attack movie.

The effects were already incredible even in 96, that isn't the problem with the movie.  

The problem was the drunk crop duster who had been abducted by aliens and sexually molested learning to fly a JET in the span of a few minutes, and then flying around doing nothing during an intense battle with alien space craft, and then bobbing and weaving his jet all the way up to the center of the command ship.  Not to even mention it being the only missile left in the entire attack, and it didn't work anyways.  Or the fact that they had to recruit dumb @#$%s off the street to man those fighters anyways.  You tellin me they had enough jets to go around, but no where near enough actual pilots? 

[Hubie Brown] What we have here, is some major plot issues, ok? [Hubie Brown]

That @#$% is HORRIBLE writing.  And plain lazy honestly. 

I haven't even spoke on the cable repair man finding the signal, driving the DC to tell the president, then wanting to give the mother ship "a cold" and fly their own ship all the way up their to upload it, then fly back down to Earth, cuz ya know, that sounds reasonable. 

Not a single ground troop?  No Aliens on the ground, just a bunch of really fast flying saucers? 

Prime will chime in later I'm sure, he was pissed about the LA tunnel when they spent 2 minutes of slow motion showing that @#$%^& dog narrowly escaping, yet millions of actual people just burned into oblivion in that same tunnel. 

 

I mean, what the @#$% are we doin here?  This is "good" to people? 

The effects were INSANE, no doubt, some of the visuals were fantastic, no doubt, a little bit of humor mixed in, no problem, but after one or two battles, they were out of fighter pilots?  But still had plenty of jets?  Not a single Alien even had reason to go on the ground and handle some business?  The Aliens really had to have big ol heads like the 50's movies, with a lil body inside?  Thas some Men In Black sterotype right there. 

ID4 was good, it's better than most, but it had MAJOR holes in it.  MAJOR.

Feelings are hurt, CP.  You dropped down to 3rd favorite Lakers fan, even though I don't have a second.

Hey, like I said, for years it was #1 to me, just because it gave it the best chance.  The anticipation and what not was epic.  Ships suddenly coming outta nowhere and parking above the city like that? 

  That stuff was GREAT set up.  Loved it.  But then they went with that cheap Close Encounters way of "communicating"  Come on.  If I was the Aliens, and some stupid bird is up in the air flashing their blinding @#$ lights at me, I'd shoot them too. 

  Maybe they was lost and lookin at their road maps, next thing ya know some douche bag run up with his halogens blaring, @#$% that, it's go time. 

Battle LA, the ships came down, hit water, and they was off and running.  No what ifs, no wonder what they wants, just off this ship and hot lead right at you.  That's how you do it.  Now the story becomes, how do we fight back?  And you go from there. 

So help me, in real life, if some damn space ship ever hovers over this country, and our first thought is to send a helicopter up there with a strobe light, I'll take care of Washington myself.

My biggest problem with ID4, was the dog fight scene.  That ONE Saucer matched Smith move for move, the 

pilot knew where Smith was going to fire before Smith did.  It took Smith using a parachute to bring the 

down.  That was just ONE

 pilot, so because the 

s  loose their shields, they just throw the towel in.

   I think one or at least 2

 pilots would have the pride and dedication to fight without shields.  As for the scene with Boomer the dog

, I will leave alone, I don't want to get banned. 

My favorite Alien attack movies/tv:

Robotech

Transformers (cartoon)
Signs
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Superman II
War of the Worlds (Both)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Thing (1982)  
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
