Replies: 11

Verhoeven's Robocop is a satire on the excesses of 80's America but the sequels focused a lot less on the satire and more on the action. I really need to pay attention to these things or I need to go to a pop culture, film or humanities class. Still, I had no idea that it had satirical elem...

Movies You Own for Purposes Other than Watching Them

A friend of mine is a HUGE movie nut and he has movies in his collection for a variety of reasons that don't include watching them. These reasons range from unusual combinations of actors to the movie being important in cinema history or simply because he thinks the movie is just good to play on...

Finally sat down and watched Lawrence of Arabia . Damn fine film, a solid five stars. All aspects of this film are superb and I can honestly say that it earned its place in movie history. More than that however, unlike most of the five-star movies that I have seen, I honestly enjoyed this movie and ...

It's a shame you're going for the wild populations, because the worst vermin infestations are always in the cities. (Goony pigeons, they poop everywhere) You do not want to eat city pigeons...anyway... A lot of times these "wild" populations are the ones that move into are...

O_o Explain that, please. It confuses me. Is it a joke? If not... nah, too many questions... There are people here in the US who hunt and eat rodents and other "vermin" (like pigeons) and eat them. They usually go after the really wild ones, the populations found in the wild and n...

Depends on what you are expectation. I'm not a fan of the original so I didn't really have any expectation at all. This is not meant as an insult, so keep that in mind. Given your age, your statement is understandable. The original RoboCop was basically a giant parody of 1980s pop culture. ...

And most (if not all) of the characters in Eva are hiding their true self behind some sort of mask. Misato seems happy and lighthearted but she's covering up a much more twisted persona that only appears rarely. I guess it really shows that after first watching the show (on the dub&...

I'm pretty sure the -au- in Smaug is pronounced like the -au- in Sauron. Since most of the names and strange words in Tolkien lore are of elvish origin (of which an entire official language exists btw), then it follows that for the most part that certain letter combinations will be pron...

NGE is, at its core, about the impact of a futuristic setting and/or element and the human condition on each other; the classical definition of science fiction. Now one has to remember that there are essentially two kinds of science fiction; "hard" and "soft" sci-fi. "Hard&q...

Well, I saw Gravity and I must say, I'm not that impressed. The visuals were good, the writing (plot-wise) wasn't bad and Bullock proved she could carry a movie. However, I just wasn't moved by the characters. While I do applaud the director for exploring this sort of survival sc...

Pronounced dead in the hospital...

So I take it Ohio is one of the states that requires a doctor to pronounce death then.
