Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

[Kaldak]

So after seeing all the "Verhoeven was making a satire film when he made Starship Troopers" takes on twitter. I have to say, what an incredible miss by doing that. I wonder if anyone thought about making a serious version ? As a fan of the book I would find it pretty interesting to make a reason one.

The book is great. I like a lot Robert Heinlein's work.

The movie is also a wonderful classic that needs zero changes. It's great in large part to the fact that it isn't the same as the book. Cult classic.

Movies will never match the books they are based upon. Look at Dune, Bourne Trilogy, any Jack Ryan film/show, etc.

I don't pay attention to Twitter X, so why is this a topic all of a sudden?

No complaints about Dune II. Stunning. And anything beats the DeLaurentis abortion I sat through in the 80’s. If you’re masochistic enough to watch that, you’ll forgive any variations in the recent ones.

This book’s political views coincide with mine.

A game came out recently (Helldivers 2) that has a tone similar to that of the movie and has people talking about the movie recently. The movie has (somehow) been flying over people's heads since it first came out, so my guess would be more people have watched it for the first time recently and caused that to become a topic again.

Spoiler: 3.5 out of 5 retirees

I recently watched the Bricklayer. I enjoyed it cause its about another secret program that needs its HERO to come back to save earth from stuff.

Also I read somewhere the new Road House might be delayed. I'm looking forward to that movie. Word on the street they just let Connor act normal for 2 hours. Has to be CHAOS and I'm in!!!!!

Not interested in a "new" Roadhouse, especially after seeing the cast.

It was a classic that doesn't need to be redone. This is as much of a retelling as I'm willing to accept :

Classic scene..... pretty much sums up the whole movie. Still I want to watch McGregor do gangster stuff. I will go ahead and assume I am the minority on this one and I'm ok with it.

I generally loathe remakes, especially classics. But actually, the new Roadhouse previews look interesting.

I want to see the new Ghostbusters. No homo.

Happy Gilmore II is in the works. Some movies just don't need a sequel, but it's Happy Gilmore so I'll have to go see it.

DUNE 2 Weekend !!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.....yes I'm a nerd

Can't wait to see it tomorrow!

Watched it. Didn’t like it. Too many inconsistencies and weird shit happening.

Yup, had such high hopes after the first movie....totally disapointed with the second.

I watched it Friday. I honestly kept thinking...where have I seen this guy before?

I didn't read the books, so I didn't know how it would end...or not end.

I have watched that movie countless times. Great classic movie and I always liked Lou Gossett Jr.

One of my favorites is the very underrated Diggstown with a twist ending I never saw coming.

Oppenheimer

The movie stars Florence Pugh's magnificent breasts, Emily Blunt, and some dudes I've seen somewhere. Joker from that Marine movie, Good Will Hunting, that Irish gangster fellow, and Iron Man all make an appearance.

For some reason, the film is titled Oppenheimer but I don't think that's what Florence Pugh calls her magnificent chest region. I doubt Emily Blunt refers to herself as Oppenheimer, so I can only conclude that word refers to one of the dudes.

The film is very good, though it switches between black and white, past and present, Florence Pugh with and without clothes. Emily Blunt affects a soft Southern accent capable of luring me towards a divorce while Florence Pugh's magnificent breasts lurk in the background. For some reason, this first time scrub director elected to focus on guys instead of Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt; I can only conclude he is gay.

Anyway, there's science and stuff, plus Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt. The story appears to center on the race to expose Japan to the bright shining light of freedom, but appears to sideline Florence and Emily to supporting actresses or something because the director is a scrub.

The story is quite good, though jumping between color and black and white is a bit off-putting. It's obvious the director doesn't understand his cast or else he'd feature the FloBlunt show more often. Personally, I'd prefer to watch 2 hours of the FloBlunt Scissoring Show, but for some reason this gay man wants us to see science and dudes.

I think it's worth a watch, just don't expect too much from the stars of the show, Florence Pugh's magnificent breasts. 1 out of 5 mushroom clouds unless you like acting and dudes, then it becomes a 4.5 out of 5.
