I just saw the movie, Twelve Years a Slave ....

[molly bloom]

I can't bring myself to watch the new Robocop. They ruined Total Recall with a remake... and The Thing, Evil Dead... among others.

I'm drawing a line here. NO MORE

Don't forget to recall the totally crap remakes of 'Get Carter' and 'The Wicker Man'. Also the original 'Assault On Precinct 13' didn't need to be remade either.


Nor 'The Vanishing'.

Best martial arts movie I've seen in... ever? I'll go with ever.

Raid:Redemption quite good but no individual fight scene compares to IpMan 1 v. 10 japanese soldier fight.

[Sava]

Perhaps Sava wanted a movie based on the 1st Robot War featuring Walter the Wobot as a sidekick.

I don't know, man. That climactic 2-on-1 fight? Holy balls, that was metal as ****.

Actully I prefered the hallway knife fights over the 2 on 1. (but I admit both r' fuggin awesome) For shear jaw dropping OMFG reaction, tho' the IpMan 1 v. 10 I can watch nonstop and still have a huge martial arts orgasm everytime.

[Guynemer]

I think we can agree that there is no wrong answer here.

[Al B. Sure!]

Did you also see The Butler, MrFun?

[Sava]

These movies are so edgy with their whole "racism is bad" thing.

[regexcellent]

When I watched Band of Brothers, it hit me at the very end--oh my god, there was never a shoehorned-in thing about how the Army was segregated in World War II! No references to the efforts of women and minorities in the war effort! It just took a company and followed it around for its tour in Europe without getting into dumb political correct bull****. It hit me then--going out of your way to make sure everybody knows just how bad black people had it or whatever is now the cliche, and it is refreshing when they don't do that.

So, yeah, anyone else sick of the racism is bad ****? Like, as if I need to be ****ing told.

[Sava]

Totally. It's like, hey you were slaves for 200 years. Get over it already.

[-Jrabbit]

There are plenty of people who still need to be told, but the sad fact is, they are the selfsame people who will avoid hearing it and/or accepting it.

[regexcellent]

Totally. It's like, hey you were slaves for 200 years. Get over it already.

It's not that it's not a message worth saying, it's that it's not a message worth saying in every single movie.

[Sava]

It's not that it's not a message worth saying, it's that it's not a message worth saying in every single movie.

I know. Racism has been the theme of literally every movie. PC correctness BS

... don't get me started on how annoying it is when they go out of their way to make Nazis look bad in movies ...

[Al B. Sure!]

What planet are you on?

I'm not a big movie watcher but the racism angle isn't that pervasive.
