The Martian is on my "to watch"-list, which mean when it hits the store or my streaming service I'm going to see it.

Just happened across this one on one of those Roku 7 day trial movie channels. 'Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman' a most excellent movie.

Not sure I really want to see the 'new' Zatoichi'; still a big fan of the old films from the 60s and 70s starring Shintaro Katsu. I'm not really fond of remakes, revivals, or updates of older, genre classic films...
BTW, the Rutger Hauer film "Blind Fury" was an adaptation of the original Zatoichi series of films. Not too bad, really... <O>

I liked that Scott broke the silly unwritten Hollywood rules that usually apply for some typical scenes or conversations. For example, And that is what I loved about it. The movie had some "standard scenes" we've all seen before - but it didn't follow the rules. Thank you Ridley! I'm tempted to give this a 10/10, because I can't think of anything that would justify a 9/10. Edit: WAIT! I found something that - unfortunately - forces me to give it a 9/10, instead of a full deck. The unnecessary censoring of "bad words". Like when they exchanged transmissions, his text said "Are you f____ng kidding me?" instead of, well, the real word. This made me roll my eyes, I am sick of these hypocritical moral standards in the media and that really ruined a little bit of the movie for me. Last edited by Nippelspanner; 10-15-15 at 04:45 PM. |

Were you really in doubt of what he said? Was his communication not understood? There are a lot of things that people do in real life that we don't need to see in a movie.

I wasn't even talking about hearing, I was referring to the texts when he communicated using the hacked rover to communicate via Pathfinder. I somehow struggle to believe that NASA scientists actually added a profanity filter just in case someone would use this thing someday and omgdarestodropanfbomb! The purpose of this was to move along with questionable and in my opinion hypocritical moral standards. Why hypocritical? even by masking a word, or beeping out a word partially, you still project the 'real' word into someones head, so you basically said or wrote it anyways. This means that the whole idea of this censorship is BS to begin with. Ridley, or whoever, simply could have chosen a sentence that expresses the characters feelings/situation without the use of profanity, because using profanity but then censoring is... well I won't repeat myself.

Don't! Instead do this: 1. Take the money. 2. Put it on Grill. 3. Ignite Grill. 4. Watch money burn. And I can almost ensure you that this will be... a) less of a waste of money and b) more entertaining as well as c) less painful to witness And while I wrote that in a rather dramatic way - I still mean it. |

Had a James (Daniel Craig) Bond day yesterday watching his first three films and was left wondering this secret organization runs thought these films leading up to his new one?
