I hope they do a better job with he golden compass this time around it was a nice film. But compared to the books was nowhere near as good.
ReplyDeleteyep, I also found it relatively nice to watch, especially the polar bear :)
DeleteThe first Independence was a little too over the top American glory sugary overload!
ReplyDeletetwas nice seeing the White House blown up, right?
DeleteOh noes, the NSA will be sending a drone to visit you dahlink. They is listening, they is always listening :0)
DeleteI know, they're already tracking my phone through Google
DeleteThis is why moi uses burner phones and never takes one on line. I buy a new five dollar phone every three months. I know they could still find me, but I want to make them actually work at it :0)
DeleteFacebook is also constantly asking for my number and I'm like freakin' hell no, unless Zuckenberg or what is his name asks me personally.... scantily clad.....
DeleteI'm getting the same thing. My email account keeps asking for it and now Netflix is as well. They can all kiss my arse, I'm not giving it to them.
DeleteGoogle sends me code every day when I want to open my account here at Blogger, so that know exactly where I am each day.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE.
ReplyDeletemark your calendar for June
Delete"His Dark Materials" is still on my "to read" list, after umpteen years . . . maybe I'll get to it before the miniseries comes out?
ReplyDeletethey probably won't rush with it, so you have some time still
DeleteI'm really looking forward to that second movie of Independence Day! I loved the first one. And no we don't Will, Jeff is enough to make it a bit funny!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
Jeff and crazy doctor Spiner
DeleteAll kinds of goodies! I really enjoyed the Golden Compass books - hope they do this justice. Independence Day looks fun :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the movie was OK too, minus the cast :)
DeleteI loved Phillip Pullman's books and I'm all for another Independence Day. It was fun the first time and I imagine it will fun again.
ReplyDeleteit must be!
DeleteMaybe this time they'll get His Dark Materials right. At least, I thought I heard that Golden Compass wasn't quite what the fans of the books wanted.
ReplyDeleteI never read the books, but the movie was boring
Deletethe movie was OK, but religious fanatics trashed it because it says truth about the church :) that organized religion and church and the pope are essence of evil
DeleteI haven't read the books or seen the movie. Maybe I should catch up on all the fuss?
ReplyDeleteif you have extra time :)
DeleteThat should be an interesting mini series. Creepy aliens celebrating? Yup there's war to be had.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether we should win or lose?
DeleteHells no to another Independence Day. That kind of movie just makes Americans want to go out and bomb someone. Really the world doesn't need those people feeling frightened by some imaginary enemy. They is they own worst enemy :0)
ReplyDeleteit is true, most of their movies celebrate militarism because that is the essence of their culture... really a fascism, that is what it is.
DeleteI don't know how their government has done it, but they really do believe "The American Way of Life" is constantly under threat. And they believe that the price of their freedom is the death of peoples in far away countries. When you look at their old movies you can see that they have been like this since the beginning. They was so scared of Communism, as if it was the debil lurking behind every bush. That's how they got the peoples to build up that gigantic military and kill all the Koreans and Vietnamese.
Deletethat is so very true, dear, you always put it plain and simple. The worst thing is that under FREEDOM they don't speak of some higher idea but of pure personal comfort and luxury, like we are gonna invade that country so that I can have my sweet Snickers bar every day after lunch. And the machine is unstoppable.
DeleteI'm so excited for Independence day!!! I'm a huge will Smith fan and I used to hit rewind when he would scream "I got to get me one of these!". Let's see if my hunky hunksworth can beat will smith!
ReplyDeleteThis is younger Hunksworth!
