I loved the production design, look and feel of Elysium, and Kruger especially, but thought the story was a bit of a rambling incoherent mess compared to District 9.

That dude's got passion coming out of his poresJodorowsky's Dune - 7/10
Project Almanac: 7/10
Plot Holes galore but still enjoyable
Really glad the actual movie wasn't made.That dude's got passion coming out of his pores![]()
I would have loved to see his vision, Harkonnen stuff looked awesome, the closer we'll ever be to it are his Jodoverse comics.
Yeah, it was another thing entirely, but I would have liked to see it for it's crazy ambition nonetheless, it couldn't possibly be worse than the one that did get made.Really glad the actual movie wasn't made.
Very inspiring documentary which only confirmed that Jodorowsky was way out there in his prime.
He wanted to make a picture as overblown, pompous and nonsensical as himself.
Not to mention it wasn't Frank Herbert's "Dune" anymore.
I can't watch that.The exorcist - 10/10
I can't watch that.![]()
Famous last words there dude..So I've heard, scary stuff is tough on you huh?
I have a weird morbid curiosity with demonology and paranormal stuff, it's scary but kind of interesting.
Famous last words there dude..![]()
I've seen it a few times actually, but yeah.. it scarred me.I haven't laid eyes on it for probably 20 years now.
Most horror movies don't bother me really, but ^that ^ one does.
What was the synopsis for the movie? I'm interested by the previews, but I don't even really understand what it's about.
