So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it's budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I've seen that cost three times that....
Okay, you win the smartest person award. Is it everything you’d hoped for?
Edit: Okay, I may have been a little harsh here, but correcting what was a very minor part of my comment which was intentionally generalised was both unnecessary and rude.
Because people prefer familiarity over the unknown.
It’s not a new phenomena, as there have been remakes and sequels for almost as long as there have been movies. It’s also not unique to movies as far as sequels go. Readers begging for sequels to popular books are the bane of authors everywhere.
Just enjoy what you enjoy and ignore the things you don’t. For every remake or sequel there’s an original movie produced by a small independent studio somewhere that’s desperate for viewers.
Your reply added nothing to the discussion, other than pointing out that you’re the smartest person in the room. You’re the person who waits for someone to say something, then pushes your glasses up your nose and says “Actually…”
As opposed to the very real science of time travel? Marty fading was an excellent visualisation of how Marty’s altering the past, and hinted that there’s a level of housekeeping the timeline does to keep the world consistent. It’s just one of many theories about time travel that have been depicted in film, even if it’s not your personal favourite theory.
Why does a time travel movie have to have a perfect loop to be “correct”? I’m personally a fan of time travel stories that result in branching timelines, where nothing is written in stone and everything is fair game for alteration. A loop is just boring, as nothing has any consequence.
Well said. The disadvantages of going to the cinema far outweigh having to wait a few months to watch a movie at home. The studios should be leaning into this trend, not kicking and screaming that people aren’t going to the cinemas without fixing any of the downsides.
He’s always given me the impression that he’s not a nice person since I first saw him on screen. There was just something unsettling about him outside of any menace he portrayed in his roles.
He was also my least favourite part of the second season of Loki. It seemed like we were supposed to feel sorry for him in his bumbling professor incarnation, but I just found him annoying and unlikeable.
