No, that was the first version in a previous snapshot. Even the new ones in this post are not in a real release, just a preview snapshot. Still a work in progress

It’s mostly rated TV-PG. The equivalent in TV you a ‘G’ trying is TV-G or TV-Y.

That’s objectively not true. Studios could choose to have a movie rated or not. Many are just “un-rated”.

Many were rated as G because post-Hayes Code but pre-MPAA ratings, most would have earned a G anyway

For a G-rated movie? Imagine watching that as a 5 year old.

But it’s not just that scene. In general, the movie is fairly dark, the story is fairly complicated, and it’s very slowly paced.

I’d still put it in the list of ‘mature’ even if I’m not arguing it should be rated R or anything. It is obviously rated G after all

Star Trek the Motion Picture pretty gnarly transporter death with screaming, very slow ‘think piece’ pace and subject matter

2001 A Space Odyssey Mind bending, bizarre, slow. Mature subject matter and homicidal computers

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) Acid trip of a movie with some bizarre things that have to have killed some kids

It is.

Apparently it’s a UK thing. Never heard of it.

(I’m from the USA. FWIW)

It’s disappointing how much they cut out of his personal journey and replaced it with long sections of goofy gags. Those were ok, but not at the expense of character development. It did still feel indulgent in how long some scenes went.

Overall a good movie though. Just not as awesome an adaptation as The Martian was

Hot take: The nether woods. They seem crazy, but the colors work in a remarkable number of situations.

But I love working with wool. Some don’t like the texture, but I think it works really well.

To me it felt more like Trek because it was at least occasionally philosophical and moralistic. Not just a stop-the-terrorist action movie.

It was fast from a perfect film though, don’t get me wrong. Plot holes and idiot plots. I’d still choose to watch a lot of other stuff before it. But it’s middle of the pack for Trek overall, IMO. Still beats ST: 3, Insurrection, Nemesis, etc

The only one that felt like Trek was the one written by an actual Trek fan and generally talented storyteller, Simon Pegg.

And agree with other comments that the cast was really good. Just had horrible stories and mediocre (at best) direction.

You can tell that knowing the source material on franchise movies matters: I couldn’t stand JJ’s Trek but I really liked Ep7. (Ep 9 was decent, but things were so off the rails after ep 8 there wasn’t much to recover)

To the layman: sleet=tiny ice. Hail=big ice.

Ethiopian Coptics are some of the oldest Christian groups in the world. You could (and I think they do) argue they predate Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.

Ray Charles beat them all (kinda, sometimes)

MadTV did a good skit about this years ago

He’s been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch “The Foreigner (2017),” “Shinjuku Incident (2009),” and “New Police Story (2004).”

That said, he’s had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out… So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he’s clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn’t seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.

For free.

How many other games give you as much free “DLC” at Minecraft, year after year? And the game was lower cost to begin with.

If this was any other game, every one of these updates would be $10 and/or the whole platform would have gone to an annual subscription a long time ago

Funny that the article doesn’t talk about Pacific Rim, which was definitely a departure from his normal dark, gothic, practical effects-driven horror/drama.

How Simon broke River out is pretty significantly different, that’s the biggest one. A few other small things.

And I refuse to consider “Serenity” canon for other obvious reasons.

Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.

How can it be canon to both the show and the movie? The movie wasn’t in the same canon as the show.
