Dramatic slow-motion closeup of a big ol' aggie bouncing out of the circle.

Drunken Cavill flicking peanuts through bar patrons' skulls.
did Target Kid ever join the LOS?

Yeah, he replaced Wal-Mart Lad iirc.

He has to modify the beer in order that he can get drunk, but after he sobers up there's still super beer in the taps, and everyone gets drunk and superpowers, leading to carnage and an opportunity to reflect.

Oh yeah, I want to see Henry Cavill's big ol' aggie too.

Bad Superman blowing out the Olympic torch is some A-level trolling

Snyder's Bad Superman puts the Olympic torch out in an orphan's face.

I don't understand what that clip is from. I don't see Caesar so I assume it's from the original, but I don't see Marky Mark either. Confused!

hard-pressed to say any of the POTA movies are actually good. the one w the nihilist nuke ending (II?) is certainly batshit enough to be called "interesting".

the initial Schaffner/Heston POTA is a blast, esp singing along with Jerry Goldsmith's score.
It's a planet of the apes!Dirty filthy smelly apes!

Original POTA boasts maybe the greatest shot in cinema history:

I've always assumed that had to be intentional. Surely.
― Ambling Shambling Man (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 March 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link
lol yes.
not only does it look and sound great, it is very much classic sci fi. commenting on age and race and class and all kinds of social/political issues through the lens of THE FUTURE.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 31 March 2017 19:15 (seven years ago) link
also kind of kick-started the pre-Star Wars era where all sci fi was dystopian commentary
thus necessitating the wookie

Didn't vote, but I've only seen Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which is good, and the top two finishers, which ARE NOT *BAD* MOVIES. The others are either from series I had no interest in, or cash-ins you could smell in the next county.

ahh c'mon phantom menace is a disaster. leaden shuffling around, no story, no emotions, pathetic world-building, racism...

one peg down from Return of the Jedi...
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2017 06:11 (six years ago) link
when's the last time you watched either? serious question. imho jedi is a pretty good if unfocused kids' adventure movie with some clunky carpentry showing and some pacing/structure issues, but charismatic performances and a ton of craft on the screen, ranking high for the genre and time period. it's nothing on the previous two, but a good afternoon's viewing with very little to outright cringe at. phantom menace is so, so narratively inert and comparing the two really makes me like jedi more since i realize: wow, i know what the characters' motivations are! wow, the people stuck delivering exposition try to make something of it! etc....
to be fair, phantom's still not as bad as the followups. attack of the clones really is like the death of cinema. now i wonder if i should do a 'fifth' thread.

I think we can avoid the painful poll by collectively agreeing that Seed of Chucky is clearly the best fifth movie in any series.
― Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:04 (six years ago) link
FYI, that wiki list seems to be for series that tapped out at five installments. The visionaries which exceeded the bounds of sanity to create six or more films have been sadly excluded.
― Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:06 (six years ago) link
No film with the fridge scene is "utter shit."
Doc C, I haven't seen Phantom Menace since '98, cuz why would I?
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:07 (six years ago) link
I guess I figured you'd have at least made it out to its original theatrical run in '99 (sorry, couldn't resist).Yeah, last time round I spent a lot of time in the thick of Wiki pages for 11-installment series and stuff. Think I'll just start from the 4ths and see what got a 5th, with a little skimming around for anything I might have missed.
