Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Darth Snoopy]

No, MUAHAHAHAHAHA! @ difabio

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I'm going to say something controversial and run away: I honestly thought Fury Road did most of the things this film's likely to get awards nominations for better (music, sound design, cinematography, costumes, special effects, etc). Stronger performances from the principle cast too.

In a just world, Fury Road should be the film topping $800 million domestically - at least in my opinion.

I don't think that's controversial at all. Fury Road was astoundingly good in the categories you mentioned (though if you just compare the two leads; Hardy and Ridley, I'd say her character allowed for more range which she greatly capitalized on.) I did just watch Ex Machina again, to me that movie absolutely had the best visual effects of the year. I give TFA props for production design but half the point of TFA's awesome production design was that the visuals didn't look perfect. All part of the retro charm. Ava on the other hand looked ****ing perfect in every scene she was in. Flawless visuals that should get the prize IMO (thought I fear it won't even be nominated.)

Abrams announces deleted scenes for the DVD/blu-ray but no extended cut. Phew! A theatrical Star Wars film with no alternate cuts. What a novel idea.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens DVD to have deleted scenes, but no extended cut | EW.com

So is Zuvio going to be included in this

Ex Machina was the best coming of age story in years.

Ex Machina was the best coming of age story in years.

Artistically and intellectually I'm still in absolute awe of that film.

The way Ava:

Spoiler

asks Nathan if he'll ever let her out if she goes back to her room. He pauses, says, "yes" but you know she INSTANTLY reads his lie and without a word or expression charges him. And how Caleb's "goodness" was never, ever, anything more than a means to an end for her, and that she never once dropped her poker face, not to him, not to the audience, because why would she? *shudder* A hell of a freaking film.

 

[YoNoSe]

Yeah, I loved it. It took me some thought to really appreciate all of the implications of the real "agenda." Well written and wonderfully staged and performed.

Plus of course, Poe V Hux.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

Ex Machina

Joking - kind of. I fell in love with the visuals of that film, but I've been ruined by too much hard sci-fi literature and old 70's films about computers with agendas to fall entirely in love with the script. The dancing scene was great, though

Darth Snoopy...... is your profile messed up? Every time you post on the bottom left side there is a reply, reply with quote and send pm button options and the page seems messed up.

I've been seeing the same thing!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Hmm...it comes and goes on my screen.

 

[The Ween]

I suspect Snoop, that it's your long signature picture doing it.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I changed my sig and it still looks the same to me.

 

[DiFabio]

It's fixed now. No stretchy stretchy.

Looks back to normal for me. Maybe you can shrink the other one just a bit?

I'll do that.

I'll never look at toast the same again!

This is exactly why I love it, it's straight up Asimov-esque with a little quirk.

Nothing mediocre about it if you actually grasp the frightfulness of self aware AI.

Yup, Snoop has been fixed.

 

[jye4ever]

Disney should just announce an extended cut to be released in theaters, there's your other Billion.

 

[GasparZizou]

Really? That's cool, I'd see that, I'm watching this for the 2nd time tomorrow.
