Early 20th Century so you'd expect her to be more lady-like and less easy, she seems way too modern to drop her clothes to a guy she hardly met, but I guess the film wasn't the most accurate really.

No kidding. I hear that you can see a digital watch on a person in one scene, and that there's a woman with acrylic nails in there. I never noticed either, myself, but it's funny to think of those things being in that movie. :laugh:

not sure why you wouldn't be able to watch all of Full Metal Jacket though, it's not like the prostitutes are naked in it, how many other films have prostitutes in them? um... Pretty Woman, must be fun not watching the hooker movies.

I don't think my mom's even seen Pretty Woman. :laugh: Meh, I'm not too saddened by that one, though; I never liked that movie. I guess my mom has seen the bit of it that's in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion... well, anyway, yeah, she never saw it. It's a stupid movie anyway. What are they going to tell their kids when they ask how they met? :blink:

My Steven
 
It did work, it was a flashback sequence so it was ok being animated, plus it wouldn't be nice to put a real kid through all the stuff which happened in it, and it got to be super gory and freaky, not sure what was cut out of it but I want to see it uncut too.

That would have been a lot more disturbing if it were a real kid and that old guy was having sex with her. :( All the blood and gore wouldn't bother me, but I think that might. Sometimes I wonder what parents of Hollywood kids are thinking with all they let their kids see when they're on set. :(

The only reason the Crazy 88 battle was in black and white was so it wouldn't get censored, you can tell it was meant to be in colour as the blood looks like water at times, if it was really meant for black and white they would have done the blood differently, like in Psycho, so it actually looked right, one day it'll be released as one movie, although they've been saying that for years.

Psycho's awesome with the Hershey's chocolate syrup for blood. :laugh: Black and white does have it's advantages when you can use things merely for their texture and not for their color. So often in films I think the blood just looks like water. It's annoying; blood's thick, gosh darn it! It's got a buch of cells in it! *grumble grumble*

I saw Waterworld once and all I remember is people splashing about and exploding without much story, it was kind of like Mad Max 2 but on the water and I didn't even like Mad Max 2, the first one yeah but that second one got on my nerves, where would they get the cigarettes from though? the whole world was covered in water so all tabacco plants would have been drowned, and if there was dry land where they grew it then wouldn't it make more sense to stay there and grow other stuff like food as well instead of stay out in the middle of the oceans?

That's what makes it so awesome! :laugh: Plus it has Dennis Hopper in it (love!). See, the stupid things like all the tobacco and fuel, that's what makes that movie great! It's like they're like, "We know this is totally messed up. We're doing it anyway." :laugh: Sorry, I'm weird, but I love that movie. It's just so... it's hard to describe. I guess I like the hopelessness of it all, with no land anywhere, it's not like things are going to improve (well, until the end, anyway). Hopelessness is fun to watch, yay! :laugh:

It's strange he hasn't come back yet, I'm still hoping he'll make a return, he did do the game so he's played the character since the show, there's one weird part about the game, there's a part in it where Chase gets his car rammed off the road and ends up in some woods being chased by guys with guns, it's almost exactly the same as what happened to Wayne last season, I think the writers ran out of ideas around then and used the same sequence for both of them.

:laugh: Well, I guess there are only so many things people can do, eventually things will start to look similar. Like they say there are only, what, 7 (?) stories out there, and that every story ever told is a variation on those. (That number could be totally wrong.)

My Steven
 
Everyone in the first season was pretty suspicious, even Tony who I thought was going to be some bad guy the first time I watched it, sounds silly now but at the time he really didn't seem too trustworthy, maybe that's what happened, everyone played it like they could turn out to be evil because none of them knew if they were good or bad, whether the writers knew she was going to be evil is another thing, maybe it was planned or maybe just a quick last minute change, wouldn't surprise me either way, although it was a good twist.

I thought Tony was evil the first season. He was acting it, and he had that stupid little beard that just signifies evil. I was so happy when he got rid of it; it made him appear good, like we finally knew he was. Gah, why is he gone?!?! I :heart: Tony!!! :cry:

I haven't seen anything like that in Titanic, I saw a guy wearing jeans in Gladiator which kind of ruined it, but I'm much happier when I don't see things like that, makes me laugh and I don't like laughing at films unless they're funny or violent. :blink:

Probably for the best to not watch Pretty Woman, I wouldn't have seen it by choice, it is stupid, guy picks up a hooker and the two get married or whatever, not exactly the most romantic of things to have happen, I've never liked romantic comedies really but they're supposed to make people feel good, that all seems kind of wrong really, which can't let the innocent people watching them feel too good really. :laugh:

The blood would have bothered me if it was a real kid, since it was pretty darn violent really, pushing swords through people and shooting legs off, not the kind of thing I'd want to see a kid doing, and I'd definitely not want to see the sex stuff with a real kid, I wouldn't be able to watch that once, so there's no way I'd have seen the film so many times if it weren't animated. :( That is crazy when real children are in violent films, it's pretty weird thinking about how much they may or may not see.

Blood should be thick, but thick doesn't spray out everywhere so good which is probably why they use the thinner watery stuff, makes ok for gore-fests, but for realism maybe not, even if thick stuff does still spray, guess it's to do with effects, and just people wanting to be more excessive with the amount of blood on screen. :rolleyes:

I know I saw it once yeeeears ago, I like stupid films, although my appreciation of stupidity in movies has grown over the years, when I was younger I didn't like it, now I do, funny how that's happened, maybe another one I should add to the list of ones I need to see again, but I know I saw Waterworld all the way though on TV, usually a sign I liked it, I only watch movies I hate all the way through if it's at the cinema since I paid for it or if I think there's some chance of it getting better, or to laugh at it some more, weird, maybe I should try it again, my memory is screwed up anyway. :blink:

Jack trying to stop nerve gas, viruses and nuclear bombs is similar, so I guess that is true, but a character being rammed off a road and ending up in some woods at night time while pursued by gun weilding bad guys is pretty precise a thing to be the same.

Me too! I liked him in the following seasons but not in the first until I saw it a second time, no idea why he got killed off, it had to happen sooner or later, I just wish he could have died later, as I miss him!
