A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Plus either of them act better than Schwarzenegger did.
On the downside neither of them would be able to mutilate the pronunciation of the word "lamentations" as spectacularly. IOW, I totally agree.

You know the best part about the Govenator's acting? Being able to tell your kids "it's not a tumor" just like he did in Kindergarten Cop. That plus quoting Scar "life's just not fair" are a couple of the up-sides of parenting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Question I can't answer:
Does Empire Strikes Back stand well on its own as a movie?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
My instinct is to say "Yes," but it's hard to imagine why you would watch it and not the other ones.

ita,
I think a person could view ESB without seeing the first. It has a strong beginning, middle, and end and relationships are established early in the film. I think it is probably better on its on than Return of the Jedi - in which 50% of that movie relies on nostalgia.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
But it ends all cliffhangery.

well do you think the first Lord of the Rings movie stands on its own?

I do think it's perfectly cromulent to release a movie that lacks a beginning, middle or end, if that's your artistic choice. So why would it be bad to watch a movie out of order if that's your choice as a viewer?
I can't defend my stance. It just feels wrong. On the other hand I love movies with ambiguous endings.

Art Crawl!!!
Hugh Jackman up for the role of Huntsman in the Snow White movie that Viggo Mortensen opted out of.
