The Movie/Film Thread

Not all krogans are arrogant brutes. They would respect the warrior culture itself, like their own culture, not necessarily human's physical strength. The shamans are another perfect example of what a true experienced krogan warrior would be like, unlike those regular whelp we've fought in the war zone.

A movie thread, people talk about krogan worldview and how would they treat another warrior culture. LOVE IT.

Stay classy, BSN.

(srsly guys, keep talking, u awesome)

ps. Gotta say, krogans dont seem to have a lot of respect to turian military culture. They sure hate turians, they talk a lot about dismembering turians, but I never saw a tiniest glimpse of respect to turian warlike society in those talks.

ps2. On the other hand, Grunt does have a lot of interest in human military history. It does look like respect.

You have a point there. But seriously, why do you think they wouldn't envy human's warrior culture because of the similarity alone and of course an equivalent of their culture? Even if it just a myth on Earth, it's pretty much real to them on Tuchanka. IMO, the krogan elders would respect and approves a species that values toughness, strength and wisdom.

Wrongfully Accused (1998)



Good parody-comedy movie, better than I expected. Some very funny scenes. Great playing by Leslie. 7/10

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this, but it still raises a smile.

Saw this movie yesterday



But one thing bothers me a little i like Rey a lot but she makes one mistake in the movie and that is she calls the Millennium Falcon garbage what the ..... haha.

This is not garbage



how can you call this garbage.

Just say this... it was AWESOME.

Seems Ang Lee's masterwork has joined the likes of Memento in the list of amazing movies that I barely remember the first time - Really wish I'd done a rewatch sooner. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sets itself in the beautifully-shot landscapes of late 17th Century China: The world is ending, set by supernatural forces involving the consequences of blocked chi, cybernetic zombie ninjas, and winnie the pooh.

The world ain't ending. The story begins where one seemingly ends, an Emerald-Colored sword of destiny being laid to rest in the hands of someone without the skill to truly use it. Worth noting that both the dialogue and the shots early on treat the blade as something not to be glorified as a toy, though there's respect for its incredible craftsmanship and legacy. The enchanted blade lights a fuse for what I'd almost describe as Shakespeare in the East, or the *proper* live-action equivalent of Avatar: The Last Airbender. These aren't Two-Dimensional archetypes marred in another cliche, they're as human as we are. In true Game Of Thrones fashion, the avoidance of tacking on Hero/Villain categories and retaining complex motivations build a strong sense of intrigue for its characters. The themes are universal, but Crouching Tiger as a whole isn't so easily pinned down. Speaking of which, these fights are intense af.



The cynical part of me wants to ask "Hey, why are these dudes and dudettes flyin' around and stuff?!". I'd guess it's a learned technique, like casting fireballs and other magic we see in fantasy flicks. I love that part of it anyway, it adds a mythical quality to the realistic characters which I'm all for. Said characters bring the choreography to life - it's not hard to see their distinct personalities come out in martial, stylistic expression. The most famous fight scene farther in the movie hardly boils down to "beating up the bad guy", and considering you've seen all sides of the story by then, it's hard to know who to root for. Being able to get Top-Of-The-Line action with a story that can deeply resonate with anyone is a remarkable feat.

This is a wonderful movie.

Arrival: They found a sweet spot between the poignancy in Children of Men, and the Kubrick-ian Tracking Shots & Ominous vibe of 2001: Space Odyssey. Many YouTube videos have cited Inception for making use of film's dream-like nature(i.e. flipping wildly between space and time through "cuts"). In a more vague sense, the Arrival makes use of the nature of storytelling with one hell of a payoff.

North By Northwest: Hitchcock does what he does best - Build Suspense, and add Cheeky Dialogue. It's #40 on the AFI 100, so take from that what ya will.

Saw this movie again the other day



and this is definitely a good movie.

People may start disliking you for rating the new X-Men movie that high!
