Yeah I agree about Babadook.

It was very unsettling.

I just don't enjoy the horror genre very much. Story and plot is probably number 1 thing for me in terms of enjoyment. Horror movies are very meh in this regard. And I suppose the main reason people watch horror movies is to get scared, well supernatural stuff, gory stuff, jump scenes literally does zero to scare me and literally 99% of the genre uses these.

I like creepy, unsettling horrors. Babadook was one of them.

Some psychological thrillers do the job of making me uneasy more than horror films.

Got to see Midnight Special finally. My first impression was however ah that wasnt that good. But then slowly it started growing on me. Googled up to find out more about it, and more and more I read I am liking it better and better. One thing I can say tho confidently, this guy Jeff Nichols is a frikkin genius.

Not at all surprised at the low rating and negative responses its getting btw. People simply were expecting a different film lol, probably they got deceived cos of the trailer. Very Drive -esque in a way therefore.

I am still in the dark about a lot of things actually. Like I am intrigued by the whole Ranch thing. Its like he(Nichols) omitted the first act of the movie and chose to show only the 2nd act. I think a hell lot of things happened before the movie even began. Its clever. Its also confusing too in a way and thats why I think most people are ending up hating it.

SPOILER:

This guy is in my top 5 fav directors right now. Jeff Nichols!! I still cant figure out what rating I should give this film tho as i still havent understood it fully.
Take Shelter, Mud, Shotgun Stories, and now Midnight special. :bow:

Exceptional body of work and the guy is so criminally young still. Proud

If you can find my post about it in this thread, I had good things to say about the movie, performances, and Jeff Nichols.

Saw it sometime during the summer. Good movie.

Really excited for this, even if it does fall flat, thats my childhood bounce

by RealGunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:06

Pink ranger was my childhood ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

by Kaladin Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:08

Kim was everyone's first crush ffs, she was back then what Emma Watson is to the newer generation

Speaking of, i always get goosebumps with this theme :bow:

by RealGunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:10

what do you mean newer generation? Emma Watson is my generation too ffs

by Kaladin Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:13

90s - Amy Jo Johnson
00s - Emma Watson
10s - Jennifer Lawrenece (Unfortunately)

by RealGunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:14

We belong to the 90s and 00s.

10s can jog on

green ranger/white ranger arc is up there with the best written entertainment arcs of all time ffs

haven't watched it in 20 years but I trust 5 year old me's judgment tbh

by RealGunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:46

I mostly remember the green ranger arc from the sega game Laughing

by Firenze Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:47

I just decided to look up White Ranger on Youtube for the nostalgia *dead*

WATCH THIS TO THE END

Also tbh I watched a lot of Saved By The Bell re-runs during the 90s and 2000s, always liked the main girl in that more than Pink Ranger

Kelly Kapowski :banderas:

she still looks great now ffs

by Firenze Sun 09 Oct 2016, 02:48

Red Ranger gotta be really salty, before White Ranger appeared he was the star. Then every kid only cared about Green/White ranger. Don't even remember the others besides Pink. Think Yellow was an asian girl? Blue was a black guy?

by RealGunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 03:15

DEAD

Never gets old

by elitedam Sun 09 Oct 2016, 13:33

Black was the black guy. Blue was the nerdy one that was bullied so badly for being gay that he quit the show IIRC.

by El Gunner Sun 09 Oct 2016, 15:00

Always liked the blue ranger because blue is my favourite colour hmm

And I disagree with ES. Don't think the majority of 10s youth find Jennifer Lawrence attractive.
Maybe Chloe Grace Moretz

by McLewis Sun 09 Oct 2016, 18:56

Firmly a 90s kid.

I was the red Ranger, my brother was the white ranger and our best friend at the time was the Green ranger for Halloween one year.

I can confirm that was not at all salty.

Also, I was digging the Pink Ranger that came after Kimberly alot more than her. First time I had ever heard an Aussie accent. And it blew my damn mind.

Luc Besson on the upcoming Valerian. I've never read the comic, but from what I've seen from the pictures and read about this, it always seemed like a spiritual successor to The Fifth Element. This interview basically confirms that. Now that he's admitted that, I'm appropriately stoked for this movie.

Only heard great things about the footage from SDCC. Hope it's great. Really want to see some freaky science fiction again

Isn't Luc Besson the man behind Lucy...
