You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Just saw this movie last week Imax 3d I enjoyed it. It was good and some parts were very funny. Baby Groot rocks. The 3d effects worked well I thought the overall special effects were over the top. Just too much at times. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars Its good but I thought the 1st one was better Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Even decades ago I like the Braithewaite novel better because Reiseman was sleeping with the 14 year old daughter of his landlord. Longest Day was just a long movie with the named stars seldom on screen. Patton... arrogant guy letting GIs die for his vanity. He was much admired but someone should have shot him. |

It wouldn't be. WWII had only been over 20 years when it was made. Vets loved anything that glorified that era. Hogan's Hero's, Great Escape, Rat Patrol, Mchale's Navy, Combat, these were all hits and would be total duds today. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I still find Hogan's Heroes funny. But what shows aren't somewhat dated? Name one as old or older than Hogan's heroes that doesn't. Probably only a few shows transcend time itself. Let's see... Best I can say is a few shows hang on longer. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

American Sniper (Release Date: December 25, 2014) went on to become the highest grossing film of the year. It is true that the next dozen movies were animated, or involved monsters, or involved comic book superheros. But most tickets are not sold to adults that are not with their children. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Yes, i keep forgetting that. Although I do recall that beer commercial where the last two tickets in the movie were being sold and audience consisted of the Dutch Hells Angels club or something. So some movies must be seen by adults. Note: I was playing channel roulette last night and encountered Two Broke Girls wherein the coment was made "She tells Black people to be quiet in the movies". |

The actual line was "Sophie is the loudest person we know. Even black people at the movies tell Sophie to be quiet" Sophie is the Polish American character on the show |
