Re: Transcendence - NF Reviews/Reactions

I don't see many changes between this final version and Paglen's original script... Only just Kate Mara and her terrorist group became even more ridiculous. Yeah, see, that really sucks. Normally I would say you're in deep when you're shooting and making scenes/dialogue up as you go ... but to just...

Re: Transcendence - NF Reviews/Reactions

Well, bad reviews and all, I still feel somewhat obligated to go see this. I wasted my money on Prometheus and didn't end up walking out blaming Ridley Scott, so the least I can do for Wally is give him (as director) the benefit of the doubt and just try to note what worked and what didn't in terms ...

Re: Transcendence Trailer #1

For everyone concerned about the trailer showing too much, it does show a lot, but it doesn't show even half of where this movie really goes. The ideas in the script are truly outstanding (probably why it was on the 2012 Blacklist). Sh*t really hits the fan in the second half of the film lol. So do...

Looper (2012)

Something I really liked about the film was that it acknowledges the complications of the concept without being self-parodying - I loved that line Bruce Willis gave about how they'd be at the table all day making diagrams with straws and stuff, that line alone made the concept one of the most acces...

Looper (2012)

Kid Blue was barely in it. So many of his scenes got cut out from the script. Ridiculous. I'd rather watch him than joseph gordon whathisname Say what? Please tell me you're aiming for sarcasm here and that you're not in any way serious. Noah Segan did a fine job with what little he had, but take a...

Looper (2012)

Hey here is a question Why didn't The Rainmaker just kill Old Joe when he got older. I mean I know he sent him back in time to be killed but shouldn't he know that won't work since he already knows what will happen? It's clear he sends the loopers back because of what happens to him as a child It g...

Looper (2012)

I really don't see where you're getting that from. I haven't seen Brothers Bloom yet, but Tarantino is the last thing I think of when I think about Brick or Looper. And there's little value in trying to view either as satire if that's not what they are. I see it. And Tarantino is one of his influen...

No offense to you, but that's an awful info-graphic. Better ones are sure to come up as more people see it.

Looper (2012)

I think Inception is something that critics will either love or hate. It is more of a risky film IMO. I need to see this again because I didn't think it had near the complexity which is where a lot of people find them similar. I don't want to make it seem like I am putting down the film when I say ...

No. The comparison I made specifically stated that Looper is the first sci-fi film since Inception to offer the viewer a similar mixture of art/entertainment/philosophy at its core.
