Yep, that's the one. I want to see the extended edition now.Rangi Guy wrote:Is this the one with The Rock in it?

I do wish it had been more focused on themes rather than narrative, though. The way it addressed the creation of myths was actually really intriguing, but that wound up mostly just being periphery.

He's kind of a shit actor, but I like him. He's got screen presence. Especially in the Fast & Furious movies.durdencommatyler wrote:You want to see even MORE of a guy who voluntarily called himself The Rock pretending to be Hercules?

Re: What movies are you watching?
We can add the definition of screen presence to the growing list of things that you and I view differently. Though, I will say, I like The Rock. Not as an "actor." Because I've never seen him act. But he seems like he's got a level head about where he fits in the Hollywood spectrum. AND he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. I like that.LoathedVermin72 wrote:He's kind of a shit actor, but I like him. He's got screen presence.

You've really never seen a single movie he's been in? I'm glad he's around - he's really the only compelling new action star we have these days.durdencommatyler wrote:We can add the definition of screen presence to the growing list of things that you and I view differently.

Watching dawn of the planet of the apes.
Great so far except ugga bugga to riding horseback within one scene? Didn't buy that.

Re: What movies are you watching?
The Signal. Intriguing. William Eubank (whose debut feature, Love, is one the great undiscovered gems of recent years) certainly has an eye for transcendent imagery. I need a little more time to sit with it before sorting out all my feelings, but the movie definitely has themes of communication on the brain. Also coming-of-age, transcending limitations. Elements also seem to be a Cloverfield-esque defamiliarization of a young couple being separated by divergent life paths. I'm not sure it all jells in the end, but it's a pretty compelling (if a bit overlong) viewing.
Can't decide how I feel about that ending, though.
