MrMaooz:The Movie Guy

 

[W/ Great Power]

Yeah, the Indiana Jones series is one of my favorite sagas ever. I even like the fourth one a lot.

Would you put it up against LOTR and Star Wars?

Maybe they could use it in the trailers. It'd fit well.

Maybe.

I also think something along the lines of the music in the background when Harry and Fiers meet would work well.

On the other hand, a lot of music might not be the best option. For example, I liked the voiceover with the music in the background in the AoU trailer.

The use of music in this franchise has been a bit hit-or-miss for me. I liked the use of "Song for Zula" in TASM2, but I'm not as keen on "Raindrops" in SM2. "My Enemy" is one of my all-time favorite villain themes.

I don't like this nickname.

I'll take Indiana Jones over Star Wars in a heartbeat.

As for LOTR, I'll be honest with you, I haven't seen those films in like 10 years. I have plans to watch the LOTR trilogy and the 2 Hobbit films before the new one comes out.

How are you scheduling that? All in one sitting or one at a time? I made sure to not have anything to drink before I saw any of the Hobbit films in theaters.

It's been a hit all around, in my opinion. The score by Hans has been one of the brightest spots - that's why I think they should keep him around if they can.

What about this version of "Raindrops"....

I can't put it over LOTR, but I like Indiana Jones over Star Wars as well.

I can't wait for the new films. I'm probably going to still go back and watch them too, as I do that for most sagas/series.

 

[MrMaooz]

Hey, I still have a lot of classics to get around to!

There's just something that clicks for me more with Indy than SW. Plus, the quality of the Indy movies are much better than the SW films, especially the prequels.

Yeah, I'm pumped for The Force Awakens. If I marathon them, I don't know if I'd watch Episodes 1 or 2. They're so boring and dull. The only good thing to come out between those 2 was the Darth Maul light-saber fight.

Eh, it's cute I guess . They should stay the hell away from any James Brown songs in the future though.

Agreed on every facet.

I read earlier today that The Force Awakens trailer might be just around the corner, which I'm pretty pumped for.

Come to think of it, 2015 has a lot of movies I'm looking forward to already.

Eh, it's cute I guess . They should stay the hell away from any James Brown songs in the future though.

That "Raindrops" scene was one of my favorite from the Raimi films.

I don't know if James Brown was the problem as much as the dance

 

[spiderman2]

What are you interested in besides numbers?

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I remember doing the same thing when I needed money. I ended up walking into a used car dealership one day and asked they if they had any positions opens for accounting, management, etc. They were hiring and I just told them to give me a chance.

They usedQuickBooks, as many companies do, and I was at a disadvantage because the other applicants already had used it. However, I got it on my laptop and studied it day and night for a week or so, and I was able to nail it by the time I got an interview. That's the only way I was able to make money and start paying for school.

I highly suggest you start getting back into school again. Even if you don't take a full semester, try to take one or two classes to get back in the swing of things. Otherwise, without an education, today's economy usually leaves you job hunting for the rest of your life, unless you start a business of your own or get really lucky. If you lived here, I would definitely help you with that.



I know I'm in the minority, but I just haven't been that big of a fan of it. It just never appealed to me for some reason.



No doubt, especially in 21 Jump Street.



My brother is urging me to see that film. He says it's a lot better than most people would think, even adults.

I love sports, video games, spider man, batman and that is about it. While I do find sciences interesting. I don't really think I would really like any job other then like a profession athlect and It not like I have the skill to be an NBA player or anything any job is going to bore me to death. Just work because you have to lol. I have had a lot of people say that about school but I don't know what I would go to school for. The thing is if you don't have higher education or a special skill like being able to work on cars or something then most jobs that you are qauilfied for are just customer severices and all those jobs are like 9-10 an hour witch is not enough. At the same time school can cost so much that it doesn't even matter.

If you go to school but don't get a way better paying job you are just going to use the little extra money you use paying off student lowens all the time. So it like no one pays enough but at the same time collage can get you a better paying job but is it a high paying enough job that the extra money is not going to be used to just pay off student lownes? I hear about more and more people that go to school and end up not finding and job and end up off no better then if they didn't have collage or even off worse with student lownes and with a job that is paying just the same with or without a student lowne.

While I understand your sentiment on student loans, you have to just accept the way the system is designed sometimes.

My brother had the same attitudes towards school. He literally could never (and I mean never) imagine going back. Yet, just about a month ago, he told me and the rest of my family that he's signing up for classes because he's sick of working his tail off. He just turned 26 two weeks ago.

Yes, you might have to pay off student loans and be in a tough financial situation for quite a while, but what it comes down to is an increased standard of living. You can at least expect to be somewhere from 9 AM to 5 PM and know that you'll come home afterwards. You don't have to worry about working overtime to pay things like utilities, rent, etc. You go in to every day knowing what to expect.

In my opinion, most people just don't explore themselves in college enough. They take just the right amount of credits they need, do their homework/projects, and barely scratch by so they can get a decent grade. A majority of people also go for careers based on which ones they think offer the most jobs, instead of actually finding themselves and envisioning a job they can be satisfied with for the rest of their lives.

I'm an International Affairs major, which is a Political Science, and a countless amount of people told me to change my major, go a different route, etc. However, I knew what I was investing my own money in was something I'm passionate about, and I've already networked enough to hopefully land a couple of positions by the time I graduate.

I'm just trying to help you out because I was also at a crossroads in terms of education at one point, but I simply sat down and understood what I wanted. Your tastes can be satisfied by plenty of majors, so don't let job prospects and the opinions of others fool you.

You're only 25 and you still have a lot of time.

Smooth Maooz is a good nickname.

Smooth Maooz is a good nickname.

I'm curious whether or not you went to see Interstellar for a second time, AnneFan? You know, to get your Anne fix?

 

[spiderman2]

So I was just thinking tonight about how much I love the amazing spider man 2 soundtrack and how good of a composer Zimmer really is. I got to thinking about what are my 5 favorite Zimmer soundtracks. This is what I came up with

1. Dark knight rises
2. Amazing spider man 2
3. Lion king
4. Dark knight
5. Interstellar

What is ever ones top 5 favorite Zimmer soundtracks?

I would love an 8-5 job and a job where I am not on my feet all the time has it already bothers my back and I no that is only going to get worse has I get older. But other then that and pay I don't really cary what I do. I just would like an 8-5 has I hate late shifts has I hate having to record sports all the time and when you work a late shift and then have to be back kind of early the next day it makes me fell like I live at work. Also I don't do good if I cant eat at a normal time so have to eat late lunch or early luches all the time makes me eat more unheathly and makes me eat more. Like tomorrow I work an 11:30 to 8:30 and then I have to be back for a 8-5 the next day. So by the time I get home take a shower, eat and make my lunch and then bush my teeth and get to sit down for the first time all day it will be like 9:45-10 and then I have to get back up at around 7 the next day to go back to work.

Yeah its just tuff knowing what to do what to go for and some jobs are in more higher demand then other jobs. I just wore a lot about getting out on my own and money and so the thought of going to school and maybe owing money is very scary thought to me lol. One of my friends is trying to became a pilice officer and it fells like ever one has a plain besides me and that drives me crazy. I fell like I am just living life and not going any where lol.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Maybe as a villain. He's played great villains before, like in Collateral.

He doesn't deliver the needed ham comic book movies sometimes require.
Maybe if he plays a supporting role, he can do fine.

 

[AnneFan]

I'm curious whether or not you went to see Interstellar for a second time, AnneFan? You know, to get your Anne fix?

I have seen Interstellar twice. My second showing was last Saturday morning. The theatre was well attended too, which was good to see. It's a great movie, and one which has had a big impact on me. The imagery is really evocative. How they show how tiny and insignificant their ship is against the impossibly large void of space. And I've been thinking about how I'd feel if I went on such a journey, and the high chance of probably never seeing people I know and love ever again. I think it works because it has a good mix. It has science, but it's not completely dry. It's interesting and has that emotional backing of the characters in space and back on Earth.

It's definitely up to you the way you want to live. I just wanted to offer you my advice because I know exactly what you're going through. The long nights with pain in your feet/back, working overtime, going to work on a couple hours of sleep, etc are things I am all too familiar with. However, I knew that kind of lifestyle wasn't going to be sustainable for me, so it motivated me even more in terms of school.

I think you just don't know what you want right now, but you eventually will. It just takes more time for some people, but I wish you the best in all your endeavors, especially because I know where you're coming from.

No matter how much advice people give you, the best way to learn is to experience things yourself. Regardless of whether or not you go to school, you'll definitely have a more understanding of yourself with time.

Definitely keep me posted with your situation.

Agreed fully.

I think it's such a perfect balance, and that's what's going for the movie the most. It genuinely captures the essence of the sacrifices by astronauts, something people probably don't give much thought to.My dad was confused throughout parts of it because it really goes deeper into some concepts than most people would think, but the story of Cooper keeps people in tune.

Spoiler

The scenes in space had me feeling lost. Also, the scene where Cooper is watching the video of his daughter and cries his heart out - how great was that?

My local theater has $5 tickets for Tuesday nights, so I think I'll have to take advantage of that before the movie isn't playing anymore. It's worth every bit of the 169 minutes.

Are you a James Bond fan?

I question those who are not.
