Great flick. Will never forget that theater viewing. Me and my buddy had theater alone. I was fucking around with production stuff at the time, so I put on a cassette recorder just to see what it would sound like. I captured a good chunk of the films audio that I later used to fall asleep to.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Edit: that sounds like I felt it was boring lol. Not at all. The cassette made me feel like I was there...the score is strong...I would close my eyes and I was there. It was like, magical. Wisked to dreamland, in that theater, watching the movie

Great movie.
The original "Dark City" dvd used to have a feature-length commentary from Roger Ebert on it. I don't know if new releases still do. It was one of the few commentaries he did before he died.
Yes! And it's a great commentary track!
Glad someone else appreciated that. Its far from being the first movie to pop in my head when I think of something Ebrrt would do a commentary for. Super cool that he was struck so hard by the movie.
Also - I think 90s Jennifer Connelly may very well be one of the most beautiful women ever in film.
I actually find that super cool. Love that you have that memory.Quoting Skitch (view post)
I used to fall asleep to some pretty crazy stuff, myself

I like that one a lot. I watched it last year, I believe. Or was it 2018? I can't recall.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

She at one point was the big thing in Hollywood. I loved her in RFAD.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

I'm about to watch A.I.
I've seen it maybe twice, and the last time was not long after it was first released on DVD.
I'm a bit anxious.
Yeah she was incredible in that. And have you seen House of Sand and Fog?Quoting MadMan (view post)
It's a hell of an experiment. Equal tones of Speilberg and Kubrick, fully succeeding at neither. Nostalgia for both filmmakers, a wildly dark third act, and a crazy strong performance for a child actor carry me through to a positive score, but I hardly argue those that disagree.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Pretty much hate that movie. Only seen it once.
Could very well be one of Spielberg's best.
Wow-zah.
It's got potential, but definitely in the hands of the wrong director.
From Kubrick's notes, the kid was suppose to be a sort of half-finished robot, not at all fully real looking. Spielberg was working for it to be a real robot as well, but it never worked out. The closest we got, and Kubrick even connected with Chris Cunningham on it, was the "All is Full of Love" video by Bjork.
That would've made it quite something.
I agree.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

Wow. A.I. pops up on tv. I select the channel. It's the flesh fair scene. I watch it. Nope I'm out. I'm not psychologically ready for the emotional devastation trip of this flick just now
It may be THE best performance by a child actor.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Brutal scene. Brutal movie. I can't say I love it, but I have to give it props for making me feel sick without anything gross ever actually happening.Quoting Skitch (view post)
^ exactly this, for me.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Several thousand years of written & acted human drama & 2 film geniuses decide to create a protagonist incapable of making a choice. Any choice.
I will never understand how anyone tried to make a commercial film out of any version of that script.
The weirdest thing is that K spent years obsessing over the movie & it's based on an ~800 word short story (~2 pages, printed). It must have a read-time under 2 minutes. It's a pretty good story but there's no movie there.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
I absolutely love that movie. It might be an uncomfortable hybrid of sensibilities but it's wildly ambitious, often brilliant sci-fi. The robot dump scene has haunted me for ages.
