I hated Legacy.. it was long and for the most part boring.. I actually think it devalues the previous 3… The final action scene was the final nail in the coffin the Terminator LARX is laughable.. the jumping from one motorbike to another without a speed wobble is ridiculous.. it lost all sense of realism i feel the previous 3 had established..

I’m sorry, I meant “I Get AROUND”. “I Get Round” sounds like it’d be a Weird Al joint, or something by one of those rapping people that doesn’t know how to spell.

@IcarusArts

It’s all right, you’re just as passionate as I am about the “I Get Round” issue.

@Frank

Does the last scene in The Bourne Supremacy of Bourne walking in NYC after spying on Landy hurt its trilogy cred? Notice that it’s spring or fall in NYC. Whereas that same scene recreated in Ultimatum, it’s winter in NYC. For me, that continuity error is annoying. They should go back and fix it.

Bourne Trilogy ranking for me is 1, 2 then three. Identity is character heavy and set the benchmark for the spy-thriller genre. I love his speech in the diner.

Oh, sorry @Plan B. I didn’t see your last post. I agree.

Of course, I respect your opinions as well @Frank and I certainly won’t dis Flight of the Navigator, but best use wins out over first use (otherwise discount half of Tarantino’s soundtrack selections) and for my money that is Grosse Point Blank. Those songs actually engrain themselves in the DNA of those scenes pretty significantly. Closing credits of Look Whose Talking doesn’t even rank. And though I like the usage of “I Get Around” a lot, that one also has a pretty strong challenger in Three Kings, if you ask me. Which you didn’t.

Oh wait, hold on a fucking second! “Three Kings” OWNS “I Get Around”!

Oooooooohhhh, thank you for correcting me. I had it all switched around. Maybe now I can hear the song again without having the horrifying visions of Kirstie Alley’s insides. I am in debt to you Frank for freeing me from the nightmare.

Not to be a challenging dickhead and I respect the opinions and thoughts of @IcarusArts and @PlanB … but “Let My Love Open the Door” will be forever be remembered as the CLOSING credits song of Look Who’s Talking … the opening credits song is “I Get Around” by The Beach Boys … but that song is attached to the hip for life to Flight of the Navigator

I think I said it elsewhere in the site, but a Justice League film is bound to look too silly for it’s own good if not embracing the right tone. I think it should differ from The Avengers and not try and emulate it. It should be no more than two hours long, not be an origin story, set preferably in space or Metropolis for the most part, and either not involve Batman at all or have him in a cameo role.

I still think it’s a tall order.

One of the biggest cinematic disappointments I can recall was Van Helsing. The director of the hugely-entertaining The Mummy is making a movie with all the other Universal monsters? Sounds awesome. Then the movie came out and it was a wet noodle of bad CGI and incoherent noise. I’ll admit I haven’t re-watched it since. Maybe it gotten better over the years… or maybe not.

how about for TV discussion for stuff like Celebrity Apprentice that you ALL watch and enjoy talking about why not just still record a conversation about it and throw that either up as a bonus podcast so that people who are interested can listen and those who aren’t can not listen? or put it after the outro sort of like the spoiler discussions and then again if people want to skip it they easily can but those that are interested can keep listening?

@ IcarusArts

I have to disagree, as “Look Who’s Talking” used “Let My Love Open the Door” in what I believe was the opening title sequence, a terrifying, nightmare-inducing journey of sperm blasting through Kirstie Alley’s body. “Let My Love Open the Door” opens the door alright. It kicks it right the fuck off it’s hinges into a world of pain.
