Off Topic Discussion / Re: Rank the seasons
Last post by claws - Today at 12:31:21 PMFall is vibrant foliage and cozy layers, but it always feels cut short, it's essentially become an extension of Summer. Winter, however, is for the soul. I love the long nights and the holiday spirit; I just wish a white Christmas wasn't a thing of the past. Even though the "Snowpocalypse" this week made the commute a nightmare, seeing the world buried in white feels right. That's how Winter should be.
Spring used to be a favorite, but now it's just a game of weather whiplash, chilly one day and 30∘C (86∘F) the next. It's just another precursor to Summer, my least favorite season. I can't stand the heat or the constant sweating. My ideal Summer peaks at 25∘C (77∘F), but since that rarely happens, I'll just stick to the rainstorms.

Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 11:51:07 AMhah, well if your barometer is set to read 'action per minute' maybe it is... prob worksa bit better on the big screen as well.
well Chris Rock has never been my cup of tea/coffee either so him turning up didn't endear me to it...
(it's less bad than LOADED WEAPON though, imo)
Quote from: M.10rda on Today at 10:30:54 AMThe series gets progressively co-star happy, as if adding a new permanent cast member/sidekick every movie will keep audiences interested. (Maybe the FAST/FURIOUS franchise works the same way, I dunno.)

Off Topic Discussion / Rank the seasons
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 11:04:07 AMMy choices:
Summer - best weather, vacations, my birthday!
Fall - OK weather at the beginning, Halloween, Thanksgiving, football, and the run-up to Christmas
Spring - improving weather but kind of boring
Winter - terrible weather, a little snow is nice, too much is a disaster; once New Years is over, nothing really going on

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 10:32:25 AMGhostbusters (1984)
Way back, when it came out I somehow decided that this wasn't a movie for me so I never saw it. Perhaps the ubiquitous theme song put me off. In the meantime it has become so much a part of pop culture that you're familiar with its main scenes whether you want to or not. So, although it now holds few surprises, it is entertaining.
When did we stop thinking that car crashes were funny and ought to be included in any chaotic scene?

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 10:30:54 AMIt's the worst one (unless there's a fifth one which I ignored). 1 and 2 at least have moments and 3 is pretty meh. The series gets progressively co-star happy, as if adding a new permanent cast member/sidekick every movie will keep audiences interested. (Maybe the FAST/FURIOUS franchise works the same way, I dunno.) Nevertheless the problem is director Donner, who really seems asleep at the wheel or drunk in the 3rd and 4th ones. Long stretches seem totally non-directed, almost abstract.
Another personal vignette about me: I went to film school w/ a guy named Fred Topel, who for a while was a pretty well-known internet movie reviewer, kinda-famous for being one of those guys you could count on for a positive pull-quote on even the worst studio dreck. I'm sure he provided copy for BUCKY LARSON, DEUCE BIGALON, etc. We were in LA at the same time in 1998 and I saw him right after he attended the press screening for LETHAL WEAPON 4. I asked him how it was and without skipping a beat he said "The greatest action film of all time!"
