Movie Thread

idk man, Tree of Life felt to me like a guy trying to do the things you mentioned and not having the capability to express it properly.

Fair enough. It resonated with me, and I found it overall successful as a film, on the terms it set for itself; nonetheless, as I've said I can understand/appreciate how it's potentially alienating or unaffecting to many viewers. (On the other hand, I think Days of Heaven is unimpeachably great.)

But I also personally put a premium on formal experimentation—not just in films but across all media—so I'm very willing to give credit when an author attempts something daring or audacious, even if they don't entirely stick the landing. That's not to say I don't like conventionally-structured films/texts, especially when they're very well-crafted; it's just that—given two similarly flawed texts—I'm going to give more credit to the one that's ****ing around with its medium.
 
Most of all, I absolutely loath the fact FOX has forced Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique on us as some major player because she's A-List.

Funny that you have grown to like X3 then, seeing as they did the EXACT same thing with Halle Berry. That's just one of several reasons why I hate X3. They competely ruined the franchise for me with that movie.

But she was a real xmen. Mystique has always been a villain. They force this relationship with Charles to make her important since it's Lawrence.

And at least Wolverine was there also.

I really love X3 because of Beast. Beast was my favorite in the tv show and Grammar was awesome as Hank McCoy. He's also the one that neutralized Magneto.
 
I did like Grammar as Beast as well.

X3 just seemed like they were trying to fit in as many mutants as possible when half of them had nothing to do with the plot.

Valid concern.

Star Power always creates issues in comic book adaptations.

X3 is an abomination. It's not because of Storm. It's because of the abortion of the Phoenix and the horrific ending. To the point they nuked X3 from ever happening.

XMen and X2 got a lot right.
 
P IN the V??

Damn, what a perv. I only accept P around the V, with possible light grazing. And a condom, of course.

I usually only accept the following P/V relationships:

sin[SUP]2[/SUP] P + sin[SUP]2[/SUP] V = cos[SUP]2[/SUP] P + cos[SUP]2[/SUP] V

tan V = cot P

But sometimes you want variety:

P[SUB]1[/SUB]V[sub]1[/sub]=P[sub]2[/sub]V[sub]2[/sub]​

And sometimes you get into the really nasty stuff:

PV=nRT
 
Star Wars is reshooting 40% of Rogue One which is due this December. That's a big percent on a short time frame.
