Lit Literature member interviews

I've never seen the TCW movie, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't include any love scenes between Anakin and Padme-- so I can't see how it wouldn't come out on top.

 

Well, in the interest of fairness, Ziro the Hutt is almost as bad.

 

Ziro the Hutt is the best thing in TCW, bar none. The episode where he gets killed by the dancer-alien after talking about sunsets and getting chased by a stoned Quinlan Vos is pretty much the high point of the show for me. Tragedy!

 

Ziro and Sy Snootles was wonderful, one of the best romances in Star Wars, obviously far outclassing A&P.

And yes, the TCW movie is better than AOTC.

 

What are your favorite non-SW TV shows/movies?
9) My favorite TV show of all time is Chuck (just to get that out there) and Agents of SHIELD. But in general give something in the sci-fi/military/spy genres and I will be happy.

Here my top ten movies from my imdb page.
1) The Empire Strikes Back
2) 2001: A Space Odyssey
3) Revenge of the Sith
4) The Bourne Ultimatum
5) The Avengers
6) Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
7) Star Trek Into Darkness/Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
8) The Amazing Spider-Man
9) A New Hope
10) Iron Man 3

10) Okay, just too say this out flat I enjoy most games on the same level but what I am saying are the games I have put the most time/effort into.

I like the Battlefield series, the Halo series, Star Wars: Battlefront (2004), Minecraft, and a whole bunch of indie titles.

 

Iron Man 3's one of your top 10 movies? Oh God.

 

Why's that a problem? It's a very entertaining movie.

 

One of the best movies of this year in fact.

 

I'd say its decent at best, but even if I thought it was great, a Top 10 movie though? Dang. Of course it's his list. I was just shocked because i've never seen anyone rate it that high.

 

Ah I never got the dislike for it, it has very good acting, great action, tons of humor, a real story arc, creepy villains and is a very fitting conclusion for the Iron Man Trilogy.

 

I completely disagree. Good acting though and it certainly had tons of humor.

 

Remember this is LazyTrooper's list. I would be disappointed if he chose anything but the first 10 decent flicks that entered his mind.

 

This is what's registered concern and not The Amazing Spider-Man?

 

Personally, I am more concerned about the inclusion Star Trek Into Darkness next to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

 

Found Iron Man 3 to be the worst of the two, though in general I noticed that for a Top 10 Movie List (And I assume it's all time) many of the choices are very recent, including the previously mentioned two, the above mentioned Star Trek, and Ghost Protocol. To be clear though, I liked all these movies, except Iron Man 3, I just wouldn't place them on a Top 10 list, but its again not my list.

Zeta1127 I fully admit i've seen none of the original Star Trek movies, and therefore avoid discussions on how the new ones compare to them or if they ruin the series or not, etc.

 

I haven't actually seen Star Trek Into Darkness yet, but if my reaction after seeing Star Trek was any indication, "Why aren't they fixing this timeline mess like they always do?" Then I don't see much to look forward to in Star Trek Into Darkness as a Star Trek film.

 

This opening is to much to resist

 

They didn't fix the timeline mess because any future involving a Nichelle Nichols' late-middle-aged fan dance is not a destiny worth preserving.

 

This is entertaining.

Todd the Jedi I will continue tomorrow. Just been busy the last few days.

 

Ever watch "Parallels" (TNG)? Every possible universe exists. In the past, we've always followed the universes where people (be they our heroes, 29th Century Timeships, or 31st Century Temporal Cold Warriors) decided to, and succeeded in, restoring the timeline. This time, we're watching one where they DON'T restore the timeline.

 

I'd certainly consider Iron Man 3 in the higher tier of Marvel movies; the only ones I'd consider better are Iron Man and The Avengers. And, while it's not a better film, I still love and prefer Captain America: The First Avenger.

Like most of the Marvel films, it was just a well paced, often clever and incredibly fun action film. More than any of the other IM films, it showcased why Tony Stark is more than an armor suit (the whole film, in my view, is a direct response to Cap's question in The Avengers: "take away the suit, and what are you?"). The character had to fall back on his ingenuity and talent with inventions rather than superpowering everything away, to the point where it almost felt more like a spy film than a superhero film. I know many count this as a negative, but I like it when these kind of movies play with genres. And of course, a lot of people like to bash IM3 for its twist, but I actually found it clever, not to mention the reaction absolutely hilarious (if nothing else, it was a great study on the mind of comic super fans).

If one views Iron Man 3 as an Extremis movie, rather than a Mandarin movie, it comes out looking much better.

 

11. Tie-ins. Lots and lots of tie-in. One of my favorite things is watching or playing something then going into its "EU". I am a huge fan of the shared universe concept.

12. Pretty much everything from JJM, the NJO, Scoundrels, the Medstar books, Death Star and FOTJ (*ducks from thrown objects*). I also very much like the TCW mini-TPBs.
