Weak year in movies

<< < (9/15) > >>

HanoiBoi:
Also enjoyed The Muppets.  Saw a lot of 'Airplane' type of humor in it.

Just last Saturday I saw 'Super 8' for the first time.  Wednesday night was the 2nd viewing.

I loved this movie.  The acting and style reminded me of Stand By Me and Dreamcatcher.  While it can be pretty predictable, I really enjoyed this film.  I'd probably put it in my top 50 of all time.

shmokes:
Watched Tucker and Dale yesterday. It was pretty great. The movie sort of lost its way 2/3 of the way through, but it was still a pretty refreshing change from the usual formula.

PBJ, see Win/Win. Easily the best movie I saw last year.

The SWT and that's it.  Indiana Jones was saved by Speilberg's Directing, so Lucas gets little if any credit.  Try watching a Indy film, remove all the sfx great camera shots and focus on just the story.... that bit of "gold" was Lucas's.   Ever seen American Graffitti?  It's one of those terrible 80's style teen comedies set in the 50's.  Excessively overrated.  And if you like any part of the SWU other than the SWT then you have poor taste and that pretty much explains why you are defending him.  ;)  Regardless, giving Lucas credit for the entire universe is like giving Roddenberry credit for Star Trek Enterprise.... he has, little if nothing to do with most of the extended universe.

You are such a curmudgeon.  You give lucas zero credit for creating the characters and story lines of the Indy Films?  That's almost as absurd as believing that sitting too close to a television is bad for your eyes. 

Without Lucas none of the SW Universe would exist so yeah he gets credit, just like Roddenberry gets credit for spinoffs that he had nothing to do with directly, it's all in his sandbox so it's all thanks to him.  Whether anything decent came after the SWT is debatable but either way it wouldn't be there without Lucas.

SNAAKE:
win/win was hilarious btw. almost coen-bros tier.


shmokes:
Spielberg is pretty sucky anyway. He's made a few great films, but most of what he does is super safe, formulaic drivel. And he's capable of making garbage on the level of George Lucas's worst. In fact, he'll do it with Lucas (see:  Indiana Jones 4).
