But it's realistic!
Dared? Is it on a pedestal?
I'm surprised it's been mentioned so often. I don't recall any hype regarding the film (I do about Interstellar which is far inferior to my mind).
Edit: Have I walked into some sort of pre-existing culture war I was unaware if?
Now Prometheus. There's a fecking disappointment.
Nah its was the greatest piece of television In history. And destroyed by the final season.Oh and Game of Thrones was crap too.
Now Prometheus. There's a fecking disappointment.
So bad. And I had such high expectations.Now Prometheus. There's a fecking disappointment.

You watched four seasons of something you found terrible?
If something comes recommended to me I generally tend to enjoy it on some level. Things generally have to feel incompetent for me to consider them truly awful.
But man, Green Book really took the biscuit. Best Picture? The film where a prejudiced white man teaches a black guy about how to respond to racism and behave more like a "black guy", to the point where the white character dangles a fried chicken finger in front of a black man's face until he eats a bit of a it? The film that says the best way to respond to racism is to keep your head down and smile? Man, that entire film felt hideous to me. The sort of film that's ideal for white liberals who "don't see colour" and regularly pat themselves on the back for seeing the world so fairly but moan and complain whenever black people use direct action to claim their rights. The sort of white people who would have made sure they were seen supporting the Civil Rights movement but would have complained if Rosa Parks got on their bus. Yuck.
Inception is definitely on a pedestal and had a shittonne of hype around it.
Sounds like a perfectly good reason to me.I like films such as Inception & 2001 because of the awe-inspiring ideas they contain: 'What if we could see our dreams, or other people's dreams?'; 'What if alien beings contacted us?' and so on. I'm like a child in that way so, in a sense, the films' merits are almost irrelevant to me. Having said that, Prometheus couldn't turn even me on.
Yeah, the performances were pretty good based on the material they had to work with. I get the whole "They learn from each other" angle but in that case the fatal flaw of the film is that it's only ever viewed from one man's perspective (Viggo's), and when you're dealing with the topic of racism in the deep south in the 50s it's probably not the best decision to have that one perspective be the white guy. Makes the film look really ignorant, which it was.Isn't the point that they both learn things from each other and their experiences on the road? That Viggo realises he's been a prejudiced twat and should stop while Ali learns that by trusting others and letting them in he can to some extent share the burdens saddled on him by an ignorant society? I agree the film paints in broad strokes but the two central performances carried it home for me.
I found Game of Thrones to be terrible, never clicked for me.
Stopped watching after I finished S4.
Glad I sacked it after 1 season then.Westworld season 2.
Absolute bollocks.
Nah it was a TV show starring Kevin Bacon pursuing a serial killer with a cult following. Decent acting that kept me 'following' the show but the writing had me face palming all the time.Following by Nolan? I thought it was fantastic.
First half of the movie is still great. I wanted to nominte Noomi Rapace's performance in that other thread about shit movies with good acting, thought she fecking nailed the caesarian scene.Now Prometheus. There's a fecking disappointment.
It's the name of a FB group that was very popular some years ago.Oh come on, could he be any more boring?
I enjoyed the first one but gave up after 3 of season 2Glad I sacked it after 1 season then.
Dexter after season 4.
Actually, scratch that. Don't even finish the last episode of season 4. At the end of season 4s last episode, turn it off as soon as Dexter's phone rings. That's the end. Don't you dare let him answer that damn phone!
Personally, I still found Dexter enjoyable after said season (mainly due to Dexter himself), but the quality drastically decreases after the fourth season.
I actually have a few episodes left of the final season to go that I've been meaning to watch for like over a year now. I'll get round to those last few episodes some day....
Transcendence starring Johnny Depp, superb production value but boring to the point of disliking Johnny Depp a bit.
Miami Vice the 2006 version. Just die.
SEVEN? It was pretty clear to me in the first episode of the 2nd season when that old fella on top of the caravan with binoculars didn't spot the horde of zombies moving at 0.25mph until they 10 feet away and then they all of a sudden they are all in peril from the most useless harmless zombies there's ever been on television. I loved season 1, fecked knows what happened.
After watching every episode of original Miami Vice I wouldn't even care to watch it, if I knew how pointless the 2006 version was. Crockett and Tubbs were essential characters to the 80's, now it's just Colin Farrell with a mullet and moustache trying his best Don Johnson impression.As I remember it that got bad reviews at the time but I read in the film review thread that it has since been re-assessed and is now rather highly rated. Still haven't got around to watching it, mind.
Prometheus was lucky to not have word "Alien" in a name, so to be honest there should be absolutely no expectations for a classic sci-fi thriller. Instead it's an adventrure/exploration philosophical take on a Alien universe, but then again why people would need explanation where the Aliens came from, if the mystery and the unknown was the reason original Alien was such a great, terrifying watch.I didn't think Prometheus was bad it just got chewed up by some really bad editing in the second part of the movie. The deleted scene of the engineer and David/Weyland would have been great to have seen in the movie for the first time.
I'm more pissed off at Alien Covenant.
Lots of Nolan films except for The Dark Knight. The others (Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk etc) are crap.
That series with the bloke from x files in can't remember the name of it right now.
Ah yes Californication cheersCalifornication or Aquarius?
Ah yes Californication cheers
On a side note they really need to finish the x files off even if it's a one hour jobThe last season was trash but I liked the first few series. The daughter was painful viewing throughout though.
