  1. It's only a sodding movie.... Not flawless, but on my scale of entertainment NOTHING has ever got beyond 8.5 out of 10 marks. the original was about 7.8, Reloaded a solid 6.5 and Revolutions 7.0.

     

    For the record, Aliens (i havent seen the first one) rates approximately 3.0 on the same scale. I simply CANNOT ABIDE Sigourney Weaver, who to mine eyes cannot act worth a damn. Giger's style has never applied to me either.

     

    The best movie in the world? Hell, I can't remember off-hand (i did use to keep a list), but it was probably something entertaining, not a philosophical masterpiece. To me, critics have always been a horde of brainless, art-worshipping bastards who are simply furious that the paying public will rather watch Star Wars and read Lord of the Rings than look at indie art movies from Canada and kill their brains via Tolstoy.

  2. I am disappointed at the critic reactions and the general bashing I see in the Net, but that is almost always the case with any movie I like. Luckily, I saw the movie so early that no reviews had crossed my way. For me, Revolutions was an amazing visual thrill-ride and it left me feeling damn glad I paid the 6 eurobucks for my ticket.

  3. Power into the hands of soldiers?  Maybe I'm paranoid, but I prefer power be in the hands of idiots, thank you very much.

     

    Didn't Heinlein have rather extremist right-wing political opinions, anyway? Not that this in any way invalidates his points, which may or may not be accurate, but I am just curious.

  4. Aye, that would probably have been the path of least resistance, unless Saddam would have absolutely refused to partake in any such deal (which he might have done, being something of a looney, it would seem). Personally, I do not think any one factor is 100% responsible for the war.

    An Oz DVD pack would be worth investing in. :)

    Damn right... If there only was such a thing.
