Nice try but you're also forgetting others, such as Christopher Nolan, The Coen Brothers and David Fincher.

It's my opinion. I'd much rather watch Tarantino than anything by Nolan or Fincher.

Yet I rewatch more frequently the movies of Ronald Emmerich and Paul W.S. Anderson.

Wasn't he making a Star Trek movie?

That never went anywhere unfortunately. I wanted to see Kirk drop F bombs ever 5 seconds.

I couldn’t watch the first Spiderverse movie because the animation in the trailer made me feel nauseous. I don’t know why as it looks nice. I’m a huge Spider-Man fan and it disappointed me because I couldn’t see it.

It will be his best "homage" of all-time.

Only to wake up and find bobby was in the shower all along.

No, the shark's name is Moody Dick. And this shark will be special cause he has a foot fetish.

I agree with that, but I don't think the dialogue is "cool" in any sense; I think it is interesting. Poor, boring dialogue ruins good movies all the time.

To people that enjoy reading, that is almost always true. I think the book The Godfather is better than the movie, and I don't think the book is a top 100 of my favorite books.

I guess this goes in the we all like what we like column but the Godfather is one of the few books that I don't like but love the film. Same with Jaws.

As I recall, I was surprised that so much of the quotable dialogue from The Godfather comes directly from the novel.

Jaws is a good example of wise changes to a novel. See also: Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp.

This is technically a media opinion, not a movie one, but there are no unpopular opinion threads in the 4K and Blu-ray forums, so here goes...

I think it's pointless to get mad about bad cover art because 99% of the time, I only see the spine. The rest of the time, I'm watching the movie, not staring at the packaging.

I also think it's silly to spend extra just to get the same movie in a metal box. If I have any steelbooks in my collection, it's because that version was cheaper or the only one available.

If Spielberg never made the movie, or the movie had been a flop, the novel Jaws would be forgotten today.

Jaws is my all time favorite movie and I respect the novel it's based on... but I agree with your point.

Cardboard_killer · 12-28-2023, 11:13 PM

Jaws was one of my least favorite books of all time, despite the graphic sex, which fascinated my 14 year old self (back before the internets made sex mundane for children).

Retire from movies. He'll be going into TV.

I also wish the animation had been fluid in it. James Cameron etc get ripped into for using high frame rate, but Lord & Miller get feted for using low frame rate.

Took me a while to get used to the herky-jerky animation, and I'm not sure that I ever did. As I recall, some scenes from its trailer had their animation framerate improved in the final film FWIW.

But Across the SpiderVerse has visuals so blurry that at my showing, people were asking the staff for 3D glassws. Way too much depth off field.

Have you ever put a finger through the label on a bluray case where the plastic has beem cut out on the front/back to resemble a Recycle logo? That makes me predisposed towards the steel.

But the ultimate in cases, I'd say, is the lenticular 3D cover, that's the one case that can alter that 99% spine viewing. Sadly those don't tend to jibe with steelbooks.

Supposedly he's working on a movie and a TV series.
