  1. Haha! This is true.
  2. They famouslt showed the Phantom Menace trailer before Meet Joe Black. Same audience?
  3. They haven't ever re-released the original Jetfire, why do you think a "settlement" on an alledged rights infringement would change that?
  4. Sounds like its truly excellent going into the final act, and then becomes your standard cgi bash-em-up and ends with a thud.
  5. Fluff piece. I've seen Shadow Chronicles, and that "review" is not accurate to the quality of the product.
  6. I think what Disney has done to many of these classic stories is offensive, and generally speaking, they make kids movies that talk down to their audience. I also take real issue with the lack of credit they give to the original authors.The problem we have with this movie comes from the fact that we know the story, and have eagerly been awaiting its release--especially after it was pushed back a year. We were expecting something more classical, and instead we are getting some fantasy piece filled with the usual special effects bullshit.
  7. I'm a film geek, thanks. It's my passion. 47 Ronin gets so much wrong in its Hollywood re-imaging that its practically offensive.
  8. Generally speaking, they didn't rely on the script for Drive too much.
  9. I care who writes them, I care who directs them, and yes, I care who is in them. And I'll say again. Who is giving Disney movies a free pass? The Lone Ranger and last 25 Pirates movies are generally considered to be pretty bad.
  10. No, they're bad because of the "talent" that produces them. And I'm not sure what this free pass they are getting is. Did I miss something?
  11. No, because I know and love the work of the writer/director. Cuaron is a true talent who doesn't turn out glossed up turds that offend our intelligence.
  12. 1. We know the real story of the 47 Ronin, 2. It's likely several of us have seen previous films about the story, and 3. Our IQs are north of the century mark.
  13. I really enjoyed 9, but it falls apart in the last disc.
  14. Your loss. You know, there's more to movies than battles and explosions.
  15. I was hoping for some first-hand accounts from members'
