That would be hilarious.brian wrote:Stan Lee should start making cameos in the Fast & Furious movies just to fuck with everyone's heads.
Probably more often than not just lazy writing, but parental abandonment is one of the classic hero tropes.A_B wrote:
Granted. That's still a pretty common TV/movie trope though. I'll grant you it would be interesting to see a movie tackle that from the opposite perspective though. Or it would be a lot more unusual at least.A_B wrote:

The studios are aware. And that's a news link from before his birthday too. The man has an unrelenting energy. It's amazing.

I thought it was ok-good. Definitely enjoyable. The scenery was amazing, and the overarching story that picked up from Prometheus was compelling. But yeah, the plot contained within this installment was pretty routine. You pretty much know what's going to happen at any given turn since they're not really covering any new ground. The "character stupidity" can be explained away easier in this one, since they're the crew of a colony ship and not military/scientists or whatever. The one things that bugs me the most (as it did in Prometheus) isThat French Guy wrote:Alien : convenant was a waste of time. They kept most of the things I hated in Prometheus (especially the utter stupidity of supposedly traîned characters) and mixed it with a weak ass remake of the first movie, topping it off with a final twist so predictable I got angry while watching it.
You re better off rewatching Alien.

That is a truly great movie.brian wrote:John Sayles is the most underrated American filmmaker and I don't know if it's close. If you haven't already do yourself a favor and watch Lonestar.
An anthropology professor at SWT (now Texas State) was the hands at the beginning when they found the badge. He was very proud of this.

"Brother from another planet" is a great movie as well...brian wrote:John Sayles is the most underrated American filmmaker and I don't know if it's close. If you haven't already do yourself a favor and watch Lonestar.

Limbo was also a great movie with a perfect ending.
ETA: Piranha was filmed at SWT!

I would think mature elementary school kids are good to go. A few war scenes are intense as that is more realistic than the usual comic book movie violence. 8 and up should be fine.DSafetyGuy wrote:How old do you think a kid should be to see it?tennbengal wrote:So...Wonder Woman was really damn good.
Daughter turns seven in a week. The wife wanted to take her, but I reminded her it's PG-13, which shifted it to "needing a pre-review".
