    @austinmoss4134 17 годин тому

    The reason I personally have a problem with Anakin's turn is not because of what happens in the scene with him, Palpatine, and Mace but a lot of what he does after the fact. I can buy him turning to the dark side in that moment (maybe not completely committing to it) but I can't buy him killing a bunch of children for instance. Also I've heard that defense for Anakin's awkward dialogue so many times and it doesn't change anything for me. It's still bad dialogue you can write a character who is awkward and still have clever dialogue. Also why would Padme fall for him if he's so awkward. I don't think the bad dialogue was intentional either because Padme also delivers some awkward dialogue. I think people came up with this defense to justify these scenes in their mind which is fine we all try to justify poor decisions in movies we have an emotional connection to for one reason or another. The music is phenomenal but I don't think music can alone make a scene work. Stuff like music can heighten the emotion in a scene but it needs to work with the other tools of filmmaking.

    How was it tragic when Anakin brought it all in himself. Tragic is when a person has to face hatred suffering losses pain out of no fault of his own. Anakin and his ambitions and lust for power did that. No one caused it to him. He made a deal with the Devil. Nobody forced him into it

    When I was young, I had no issue with Jar-jar, honestly. His mannerisms and way of speaking enchanted me as a kid, and I just thought he was funny. Him and the little droid that got sucked into the engine were some of my favorite parts when I was all of seven years old, and to add in the awesome saber fights, Maul, and pod racing, this movie blew my socks off. I was made a fan for life watching Phantom Menace in the theater.

  • @SavouryGalette

    To add on to how good this movie is, Palpatine is just an _incredible_ villain, played to perfection by Ian McDiarmad. He brings the perfect balance of delightful over-the-top scene chewing, but also a great amount of intimidation. I remember being genuinely terrified of him when I kept rewatching Revenge Of The Sith. He seriously scared me that bad.

  • @SavouryGalette

    I also love that the prequels didn't just delve into _how_ Anakin became Vader, but also _why_ he became Vader. It makes him a much more compelling and likeable character without diminishing his evil throughout the franchise.

    I just met Tara Strong at the Houston Collect A Con over a year ago, and I even got her to sign my DVD cover for Scooby Doo On Zombie Island since she was the voice of Lena Dupree. Other than that, I had a great talking to Tara and even told her about my favorite characters from Cartoon Network including Finn and Jake from Adventure Time along with Mordecai and Rigby from Regular Show as well as getting my picture taken with her.

    Yugi is over rated. He wasnt the king of games. The pharaoh was. Dosnt matter if it was yugi’s body. It was the pharaohs mind that was dueling. In the very few matches yugi actually played himself. He didnt do all that well.

    • @delirous8
      @delirous8 16 днів тому

      Technically they shared minds and Yugi implanted strategy who helped Atem during their duels. Yugi is not overrated, he is Atem’s equal. Kaiba was never Atem’s equal it was always Yugi. I think you have to rewatch the series again but Yugi is not overrated in fact he was underrated.

    For some reason, this movie got shown on uk tv way more than the others. So I have very fond memories of it. I always liked that it wasn’t spooky in the traditional sense so much as *weird.* in that desert gothic stranger things kinda way. with all the government conspiracies etc. Also the romance with shaggy and the alien lady is unironically the sweetest thing.

    15:02 Childs is The Thing at the end of the movie. After Mac, Garry and Nauls go to give Blair the blood test, but find an unfinished space ship instead, we cut back to the main building. It appears to be deserted. Childs was left guarding the door, but not only was he missing, the door has been left open for some time because there was snow accumulating on the coat room floor. But, we know that Childs had not left yet, because in the next scene Mac and Garry are preparing dynamite while Nauls was standing watch at the door. Nauls sees Childs leave by the main entrance just before the lights go out. Childs later tells MacReady the he thought he saw Blair and went out after him. Really? Is this the same Childs that wanted to leave MacReady outside just a few hours before? The same Childs that insisted that Mac had to be The Thing because; "Nothing human could have made it back here in this weather without a guideline"? But, all alone he thought he could chase someone out into a snowstorm? And, we know where Blair was at that moment; Under the building trashing the generator, which was where it later ambushed Garry and Nauls, and almost got MacReady. (P.S. The Thing wouldn't attack MacReady with the flamethrower because it would have known Mac was wearing a vest of dynamite under his coat. Also, rushing him would do no good because Mac had Garry's pistol and several flairs too. The Thing imitating a human wouldn't be fooled by a molotov cocktail because when it imitates something, it imitates it perfectly. Therefore, it would have taste buds that functions just like human taste buds. The same with the breath, a human is warmblooded, and if The Thing is imitating a human it would be warmblooded too).

    9:45 Ennio Morricone did most of the score but John Carpenter and Alan Howarth did add a few additional tracks (the very beginning before we even see the space ship fly into frame, another when Bennings is burned, the next was when Fuchs was working on the blood test and was lured outside, and the last one when Mac and Nauls go to Mac's shack).

  • @Fatalerror094
    @Fatalerror094 Місяць тому

    3:35 Except if Blair was The Thing. Think about it, Blair was really the only one who could have picked up the keys after Windows dropped them, the only one who could have gone to the cooling unit without being observed because everybody else was outside surrounding the Bennings-Thing. He (or it) was the only one who could have returned the keys to the store room before the men came back to clear out all of the bodies and remains to burn them. And, before all this started Fuchs told Mac that Blair had locked himself into his room and wouldn't answer the door. Wouldn't or Couldn't? Then he shows up after Bennings was dealt with and the contents of the Lab and Store Room are disposed of. Why would the Blair-Thing destory the radio equipment then? To prevent the sabotage blood from being discovered too soon.

    I thought the Batman was spectacular, saw it in the theater twice. I’ve watched it 4 or 5 times now and there’s always something new or different to appreciate. I’ve loved Batman the detective my whole life and this is the one and only Batman film that captures that angle of his identity in the way it was depicted in the best comics. Sorry you didn’t appreciate it, but we are agreed that Penguin was next level greatness.
