They probably will when it stops being so muddy.

All You Need Is Kill is charming in an Engrish way. It's a terrible title for a Hollywood blockbuster.

Even if all sexism disappeared tomorrow, men would have a three thousand year back catalogue of real soldiers, emperors, scientists, etc. to work with, and those are the kinds of roles awards love.

The song doesn't have a Bollywood performance. It's also not from Bollywood.

The previous commenter is wrong. There's nothing particularly unclear or complicated about it. Qui-gon is a bog standard protagonist.

It's Qui-gon. I don't know why people keep repeating this.

I don't think it needed Woody or Rex. It needed to feel like the same character. I don't buy that toy Buzz thought he was this guy, and his blocky suit completely clashes with the strangely gritty tech.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command did this much better.

Reply to comment by forgotmyemail19 in Which "based on a true story" films butchered the true story the worst? by yoaver
Yeah but they keep adapting the people who had compelling stories. More compelling than their movies. Alan Turing's story happened during World War II. There was plenty of actual drama to go around. They didn't have to make it a soap opera.
I don't care about Abegnale though. That's hilarious, and it only adds to the story.

Legally speaking, that's completely irrelevant. Does it comment on the original work or not?

They probably did. I've heard of this happening a few times.

Not a movie, but my all-time favorite comes from Narcos when the special forces raid Pablo's compound.

Reply to comment by Herne8 in Would Conan the Barbarian be so fondly remembered if Schwarzenegger hadn't become such a megastar? by Herne8
Well, yes. That's what happens when you adapt the one that started it all. It feels unoriginal compared to all the knock-offs. I saw similar complaints about the Northman this year.
But I also think it makes for a better movie. Conan is so much more well-rounded and better-written than anyone imitating him, because he was created as an actual character. The rest are one note clichés.

If Conan doesn't feel original, it's because everyone else ripped it off. The books were groundbreaking.

I think he understands. He just doesn't care. He's singularly focused on Jenny right through a bunch of dramatic historical events we value as the audience.

Reply to comment by Kate_Sutton in Likable characters who are poorly used in franchises by mranimal2
Which is really Finn again by proxy. There was so much material in being a former stormtrooper, and Phasma should have been the antagonist to all of it. Instead, it dropped and downplayed it as much as possible. There was no catharsis in beating her.
