The ending....SPOILERS Is it strange that I was upset when the Female was killed? I found I felt so bad for her and what she had to go through. And yet, she was an accomplice to multiple murders. I still have a hard time with it but agree with your take on the film and the 8/10. 👽🌏👽
I wouldn't say it was strange. She learned what it was like to be human, experienced fear for the first time. Probably understood what her victims were feeling.
Just kinda popped up in my feed as I was about to make dinner after work and was pleasantly surprised. Really like your energy and more positive outlook on the film while outlining your flaws with it, you simply sound happy to talk about it. Cheers from Texas! 🤘
Good review. Personally I was disappointed going in blind: expected sci-fi world building epic like Prometheus and got a throwback horror. But other than the absurd third act, agree it was a well done horror film.
My parents had the laser disc of this when I was a kid. I loved the cover and used to think the movie was cool. I still remember the bloody boots scene!
It’s a ppv cut they did a special cut when it went to ppv years ago and it had the skull cowboy added back in and was re cut and had more deleted scenes yea it was only like 20 minutes longer
gravity falls is my favourite cartoon ever, I love the mystery in the show and how much different it is from other cartoons on disney. If I had to pick, one of my favourite quotes from gravity falls would be "Smile for the camera!" "That's a cinderblock Tobey" "I just want to be a part of things"
The Karaoke Bar/ Chase scene was trying create the tension to see if Colt could get back to Jodi in time. It was a pretty good way to keep the love story element going while the Colt is still solving the mystery of the missing star. I loved the film. I have seen it twice now in theatres. Also for me being an Aussie, it showcased our film industry off well. There was quite a few Australians in the cast (the head of security, Tom Rider’s girlfriend, the guy at the start of the film who offers Colt a $5 for getting his car, the sound guy and the second in charge on the film to name a few)
I liked it. I got it at a 7/10. I think they should have killed off either venkman or stantz. Ray cause it would have a much heavier weight at the end of Frozen Empire and could have been the thing to drive Peter away from it and not have murray give more lackluster performances, Venkman cause dear god after that interview scene murray phoned that shit in. Killing off venkman could have been the thing to make Ray finally give it up and take a more consultant type role and focus on the backend stuff that Winston was working on with the expansion of Ghostbusters leaving the next film to be more focused on the new cast. I never thought I would hear myself say it feels like Bill Murray phoned his part in.
Aye, this definitely could have had more weight and emotional sequences. Love Bill Murray, but I agree about the performance. I don't think he's been too keen to keep doing these movies for a while now and it did feel like he was brought back just because.
I was speechless when I walked out the theatre. I haven't been able to stop talking about it, so enjoyable and the payoff of the world building in the first part was so so worth it. Not sure if they'll develop part 3/Dune Messiah but thinking about this series being done is heartbreaking. Love your review, I also could've had another hour maybe of this movie and wouldn't have noticed.
I was bored out of madame mind. This movie wasn’t even so bad it’s good, it was just bad and boring. You could feel that no one cared about this material, with poor dialogue and bland performances. The action was so weak and the villain was pathetic. One of the worst comic book movies ever and worst of this year. Great review 👍 Keep making videos!
Quite a few Bond villain actors made their way into the BBC miniseries adaptation of Smiley’s People (1982) starring Sir Alec Guinness. Stromberg from The Spy Who Loved Me, Drac from Moonraker, and also the chessmaster in this one.
19:53 See, until like 1985, there was no PG-13 in USA, you jump straight from PG to R. The Spy Who Loved Me had a nude pinup on the British submarine in the opening scene and it was rated PG (tho I never saw it as a kid because I had Roger Moore’s 7 Bond films on VHS only) in 1977.
17:05 the revelation of green/blue screens and rear projections (which kept happening to Bond films as late as Licence To Kill, lol) made my head explode. FINALLY i can understand why IMDB-logged goofs such as “In YOLT, Aki was driving Bond in her Convertible Toyota, yet every time the speedometer is visible, it clearly says 0.” can happen at all.
That being said, the opening credits homaged Dr No with the big bright dots, the bio-scientists wore the same kind of plastic hazmat helmets when they took out the nanobots; and the ending in the Poison Garden is actually a reference to the book You Only Live Twice.
10:40 Some other audio goofs are made by the same actors dubbing themselves later, right? Which reminds me: I hope you can watch and review Das Boot some day (90% of the inside submarine dialogue was ADR’d because the cameras had gyroscopes and were loud).
3:40 Wellllllll, Goldfinger actually is pretty standalone. In fact it’s the only Connary Bond film that doesn’t have anything to do with Spectre or Blofield.
Otherwise, the five other Connery films, plus OHMSS, *must* be watched in sequence. There is continuity plus there is the raising of stakes. In Dr No it is the first time Bond if not the whole of MI6 ever hears about Spectre, in FRWL Spectre wants revenge for the death of Julius, in Thunderball the stakes are so much higher plus Bond ends up dealing with Number Two, in YOLT Blofield himself finally joins the fray.
This movie and For Your Eyes Only make for a great double feature. Not only because they are great Bond films by the respective actors, but also because in FYEO the tables are turned and it is Bond who has to stop the Soviets from grabbing a BRITISH piece of spyware.
The one with gold coins whose prop replicas I’m pretty sure are a bit too large 😅 (From what I read on Wikipedia they’re supposed to be roughly the size of Nickels not Quarters), and the one with the Indiana Jones-esque Map Travel Shots (and done better I say, because there are no dumbass historical and topographical anachronisms).
Cracks me up the stuff that was OK to put on film back in the day, lol. Gonna have to check this one out to see how it connects to Austin Powers. Happy New Year bud!!
