A more important question, millennials like Prince are about to turn 40.

40 year old millennials...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

37 years ago it was good. ...not bad at all in fact

Was "Meteor" ever a good movie? Or "The Swarm"?

You guys should watch Miracle Mile (1989)

It's pretty good.

After reading a synopsis, it sounds pretty good, I'll give it watch.

Anybody see Primer? I don't remember it very well but it tried to go hard into the logic of time travel. The production value is barely existent but I'd guess it's worth a look if you're into time travel movies.

Hmmm haven't seen that one either, looks neato.

My memory of it is that it starts as a chore and suddenly gets very interesting. Be prepared for the very low end of low budget, though. Like Clerks sci-fi.

My brother (an engineering type) RAVED about "Primer" when it came out.

I think that might have been the most snore-inducing, techno-babbling-est, chore of a movie I ever attempted to watch. I think I made it about 12 minutes before turning it off. It was excruciating. I thought surely an hour had gone by. Nope. 10 minutes.

I don't in any way shape or form prefer "dumb" movies but I do think a filmmaker has a responsibility to get their viewer's interest and attention within the first few minutes. If someone tells you "oh just wait for it...the start is really slow but by the second hour it picks up" that's doesn't make you a lazy viewer for turning it off. That means the filmmaker has overindulged and failed to craft an engaging piece.

Primer sets a new (low) standard for "zero budget" movies. I don't remember very well, but I seem to recall the mode of time travel being a cardboard box.

Primer was much to do about nothing...

Sweet, sounds right up my alley

 

[Wor-Gar]

Anyone ever see John Landis' "Schlock"?

I almost shut it off. I was glad I stuck it out because I thought it got pretty clever. But then again - struggling to remember the details about a year later.

It makes sense in the post-credits scene when it's revealed that the taller lead is actually a stuffed tiger.

A cardboard box made one actually use ones imagination for time travel

So supposedly....

Spoiler

Rey was purposely made into a mary sue in TFA as a huge misdirection to the one big spoiler in the TLJ.

Jeez what can it be.

 

[punisher1974]

That her true heritage is she is the daughter of luke and porg.

Sooo. They have accepted the truth...

 

[Otomofan]

Yeah not buying it. Just another in the long list of attempted Star Wars retcons since 1977.

 

[MaulFan]

What is a Mary Sue?

Back on the Dracula allegory, since Palpatine was a Satan allegory I can see Dracula being the logical next step.

Would allow midichlorians to be revisited also - while my reaction to the concept in Ep I was negative, I felt Ep III redeemed it a little.

(Which of course leads us back to the possibility of Snoke being Darth Plagueis the Wise...)
