BF2S Forums Rate the last movie you've seen

I actually have to get around to watching the rest of that show before Hulu charges me for it. I got to episode 14 out of 49 and damn is it exhausting actually watching this stuff. Much worse than my childhood memories. But I need to finish it just this once so I can get this out of my system before I waste more money on it. Then I can move onto my next nerd shit to make up for the fact that I live alone. Swords. I should collect weapons next.

The dub isn't the problem with it. The writing is just bad. It doesn't make any sense when you think about it. And the 5 male main character pilots are gay. Not literally but they show no interest in any of the women. And that just weird.

28 Days later 8/10

28 Weeks later 6-7/10

I liked both a lot. I love Pandemic and Zombie movies. Weeks was a disappointing follow up to Days which was just fantastic.

I like the fact that the Rage Virus doesn't actually create undead zombies but is instead a super rabies. It solves a lot of the technical issues around zombies. I like that whatever can kill a person can also kill a rage zombie. It's also cool that you can actually just starve them out.

28 days is really an unnecessary amount of time for the rage zombies to die off though. A hunger strike can last that long but that is only with a person consuming enough water. 3 to 4 days without water and you are dead. Especially if you are projectile vomiting blood.


As for actual movie stuff: I think the premise for each movie is pretty unique. The soldiers in Days aren't there to clean up the infection "by any means necessary". They just want women to live with. Weeks is the only Zombie movie that deals with resettlement that I can remember.

I didn't like: the Rage Zombies are too random, aggressive, and intelligent. The Days military base is under constant swarm attacks which doesn't make any sense. How are the zombies finding the base and then coordinating swarms? The Zombies also shouldn't be busting through doors walls, and windows like they do. In the Weeks the military should have been more prepared.

the desire for a sequel or continuation of everything is like a child that never develops past the phase of oral fixation. always crying out for more of the pus-filled pap from mummy. let a good fucking film BE as it was likely originally intended. hollywood is full of houses with shoddy extensions.

you couldn't construe a point on the subjectif you were given 3 months and a library card, dilbert. you're worse than jay on this mastermind topic.

have i ever espoused such an absolute statement? nope.

a person who is even moderately well-read or well-watched would realise how much inter-textuality there is, and how much artists respond to and receive, if not explicitly quote and allude to, other's works. but to you this is all 're-hashing' and is a lowly activity. real works of art, like wonder woman, are novel creations with no borrowed plots, characters, or tropes. sad!

sequels pumped out because the movie studio fancies another easy cash cow, or to convert an unsuspected hit into a franchise, are, yep.

if a scriptwriter or a director/producer envisions a movie taking up 3 parts, then that's quite a different matter.

does this need to be explained to you? baby boo?

the point being that a good number of the greatest films, novels, stage plays etc. of all time have relied heavily on precursors and previous work. many of shakespeare's best plays were adaptations of italian source material. are they worse off for it? no.

and wonder woman is of course wholly unoriginal. that's the enduring appeal of comic books. their characters and plots/situations are basically mythical, a 21st century pantheon like the ancients would have known. their creativity is not 'original'.

in both cases if you weren't so ignorant you'd know better. unfortunately you have a very long way to go.

It pains me to imagine that there probably are people out there who think Wonder Woman is entirely original when the whole thing is basically a third party expansion pack onto Greek mythology. Didn't she fight Ares in the movie?

Cats 2019 0/10 didn't see.
