You ought to begin by describing the one I've seen in order that I might know whether to trust your synopsis.
"Man attempts to secure sexual gratification without breaking the bank, growing increasingly frustrated," for instance, would leave me wondering what the mystery example might really have to offer as a viewing experience. |

Well it's a fairly hardcore view of sex and violence in a big city with usually harmless William H Macey leading as an old kilter psychopath

re: whitewashing in Ghost in the Shell.
I found it way worse that they came up with a whole explanation within the story as to why she's not asian. It came off as a false apology to fans. |

Although I also think that them simply getting the project off the ground at that budget with a female lead to be an accomplishment in and of itself.
One day we'll be able to have high budget action films with badass asians in the lead. One can hope. |

the remake/franchise mentality in hollywood is pretty shitty
it's rare to get decent original sci-fi like say looper, interstellar, live/die/repeat |

thats why i figure if you wanted to make scarjo the cyborg movie you could write something new instead of lifting a pretty treasured original sci-fi from another country

that's ridiculous obviously. They think Roland being white is an important part of his character cuz he's a fucking cowboy from a fantasy Gilead

I'm not presenting it as a contrasting counterpoint to the Ghost thing, just part of the discussion. They're reasons for him "needing" to be white are stupid. Same with black Hermoine in the Harry Potter play.

First 4 books were cool.. last 3 were of way lower quality. A lot of people thing the movie will suck for reasons outside of casting. I'm cautiously awaiting the reviews.

I pictured Roland as El Topo all throughout my reading of those books.

Watched Jack Nicholson in "Somethings gotta give"... Jesus Christ, what a steaming pile of dung... A surprisingly lazy and uninspiring performance from Nicholson too... Guess he needed the money or something.

I think you're thinking about "As Good As It Gets" which actually was pretty good and a great performance by him.

Plus: the synopsis of Somethings Gotta Give sounded like it would be a great role for him to play... How wrong I was. |

Have you seen A Few Good Men? I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it for a cheesy early 90s courtroom drama

Nope, haven't seen that one yet.
Maybe I'll check that out next. It sucks cause my On Demand Service has a few key movies missing, most notably Five Easy Pieces which is only available with a separate subscription (it's times like these that I miss rental stores). I still have to check out China Town and Easy Rider too. But I watched the trailer for China Town and it just really seems like something I wouldn't be into, despite knowing that everyone loves it. |
