@Blu Magic Ray

😜

The Hateful Eight is 168 Minutes, The Roadshow Version is 187, but that is not on the Disc, please explain 😅, or could you provide 1 more Movie over 3 hours, because this will be your 25th point and I want to give you the second award without any doubt in mind 🙏

 

Oh, that was a mistake on my part...

 

Then I'm also submitting Zack Snyder's "Justice League" here ... 242 MINUTEN !!

The island

Back To The Future

Edge of Tomorrow,

the film I want to see come true would be a film with a trip to the past at several times and to begin with, prehistory  with our ancestors, travel to the times of ancient Egypt and finally say hello to the Sun King 😄

@extantsrevenge oh I forgot to post @TechSpec924 got it with demolition man!!  Love that movie!  Only reason I didn't use it is cause I don't own but only cause I'm hoping for a special edition.

 

p.s.  I can't add any GIFs cause none are loading when I hit the GIF button.  Anyone else having this problem?

Glad to be of service! Demolition Man is definitely one of my favorite Sly movies as well. And I was also dumbfounded why GIFs suddenly stopped working for me as well. Thought it was just me.

 

I was actually afraid to use this movie because so little of it takes place in 1996, but I saw some other "partially takes place in..." films, so I figured WTH lol. I was going to use it anyway because when I first began collecting films for this challenge, I misunderstood it to mean films which take place in the future beyond this year (2023). And I actually don't have any more films I could have used except possibly BTTF, which I was trying NOT to use because I figured everybody would be.

I think it's perfectly acceptable especially since the beginning was only 3 years into the future from when it was made and it was an utter hell scape.  Bold choice for a movie

@extantsrevenge @jwhitm3

 

Here are my choices for you approval

 

 

 

Predator 2  Made =1990 Set = 1997

 

Danny Glover much under rated as an actor absolutely nailing his footing as a Action super star .

 

Bill Paxton meating his end at the hands of a Pred . Making him one of the few managing the Holy Trinity of his characters demise at the hands of 3 of the GREATEST franchises ever.

 

Terminator = Street Thug

Aliens = Hudson

Predator 2 =

 

 

Strange Days Made = 1995 Set NYE = 1999

 

Ralph Fines and Angela Bassett kicking arse on New Year's Eve of 99.

 

 

Split Second Made =1992 Set 2008

 

Rutger at his total best 

 

Now he lives on anxiety, coffee and chocolate. If you ask me, he's nuts. That's what the doctors say.

 

Then then not being granted a licence for a Grande launcher 

 

Special Mention Sorry can not not leave this one out 

 

Time After Time Made = 1979 Set = 1979

 

The much missed exceptional talent of David Warner. If you haven't seen it give it a go an interesting and engaging take on Hubert G Wells The Time Machine and Jack The Ripper .

More I'll just pop that on

Week 34!

 

Future is prologue... or something like that!

 

Stuff like "2001" and "Blade Runner" are played out, so I'm going with movies that apparently took place in futures that are now past.

"A Clockwork Orange" (1971) - After the 1980s (Unless in this alternate timeline, a Durango 1895 looked that boss)

 

"Mr. Nobody" (2009) - I reckon somewhere in Nemo's middle age was somewhere during or after the 2010s

 

"War for the Planet of the Apes" (2017) - Someone did the math... It's 2023! So if you see a talking ape packing military-grade firearms, resist your instincts and run away!

 

 

As for my favorite accurate prediction, as a journalist, I have to say Sidney Lumet's "Network" nailed infotainment. I'm mad as hell about it, of course, but wow! Nailed it!

[extantsrevenge]

is everyone already on summer break?

 

Nice submissions @CAYENNE-FAHRER @bilbon @Scary Hair very original entry 👍, you too @camwjohn95

 

@Blu Magic Ray thank you for providing the extra edition to complete challenge 33 and with that come your 2nd Award

 

Now the question is, who could take on challenge 35 later today?

@R1s1ngs0n

 

Be sure to check back and in the meantime submit for our awesome challenge 33 😀

 

[R1s1ngs0n]

CHALLENGE 35 - "FAMILY BUSINESS"

 

Post 5 editions of movies that star two (or more) members of the same family.

Besides acting partnerships I also accept filmmakers directing a family member (note: directing duos like the Coen brothers and the Wachowskis count as one family member).

The following family relationships are accepted:

Grandparents-parents-children-grandchildren.

Brothers-sisters.

Uncles-aunts-nephews-nieces-cousins.

Married couples (can be either before, during or after the film’s shooting, so divorced couples like Pitt-Jolie count as well).

In-laws and unmarried couples do not count.

 

An actor/filmmaker can appear in more than one movie as long as the other family member is a different person (ie. Francis Ford Coppola and daughter Sofia in Godfather III, plus Francis and sister Talia Shire in any of the other Godfather films).

 

And finally, name your favorite off-screen/on-screen couple.

 

[hal56]

Great challenge, Eli @R1s1ngs0n

So here are my choices for #35, Family Business:

 

Spouses:

Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany in Creation:

 

 

Father & Son:

Martin & Charlie Sheen in Wall Street:

 

 

Father & Daughter:

Ryan & Tatum O´Neal in Paper Moon:

 

 

Sister & Brother:

Maggie & Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko:

 

 

Brothers:

Sean & Chris Penn in At Close Range:

 

 

My favorite On & Off-Screen Couple is hands down:

 

 

[extantsrevenge]

 

 

Thank you for this interesting new challenge @R1s1ngs0n

 

Here is my selection

 

- The Place Beyond the Pines: Ryan Gosling plays together with his future wife Eva Mendes.

- Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds plays together with Blake Lively, they marry a bit later and have now 4 children, looks like it was the only good thing that came out of this trainwreck of a movie.

- Big Fish: Tim Burton directs Helena Bonham Carter in this and other movies. I did include this as I was sure they had been married, but it looks like they never did and also recently split which Helena calls a divorce, also they have two children together, so I'm sticking with ths choice, if it is not good let me know.

- Underworld: Len Wiseman directs his future wife Kate Beckinsale, they are divorced since 2019 😅.

- Resident Evil: the Final Chapter: Paul W.S. Anderson directs his wife Milla Jovovich again (they made 7 movies together).

 

 

As for my favorite off-screen/on-screen couple, that is difficult, I'm not following the stars so closely anymore. Back when Jennifer Garner came together with Ben Affleck after Daredevil and they married and got children, I thought "Damn Affleck is one lucky guy", but sadly he is just a stupid idiot as it turns out. Lost a lot of respect for him.

 

I think Rynolds and Lively are a great couple but the on-screen romance in Green Lantern surely is not a favorite of mine.

 

Michael Fassbender hit the jackpot with Alicia Vikander, but I'm more jealous here 🤣.

 

I think Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher belong together, so that had a happy ending. And The Americans stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys also are great together.

[Chief_lookout]

¡Somos familia! Any fans of Blood in, Blood Out may recognize my quite about family! Anyway, here are my choices:

Zoolander: Ben and Jerry Stiller; Ben Stiller's wife was in it, too!

Royal Tenenbaums: Luke and Owen Wilson together

Donnie Darko: been listed, but a favorite, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal

A Quiet Place: spouses John Krasinski and Emily Blunt

And, I Am Legend: father/daughter Will and Willow Smith!

Best couple for me would have to be the one I listed: John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Thanks for looking!

Challenge 34 - DAYS OF FUTURE PAST!!?
 

Thanks to @jwhitm3 for this challenge. It’s always fun when you’re watching a movie that at the time was set in the future but it’s now the past.

 

1. X-men Days of Future Past - Starting off with the titular title, filmed in 2024 and taking place now in 2023.

 

2. Riki Oh - filmed 1991 and taking place in 2001.

 

3. Predator 2 - filmed in 1990 and taking place in 1997. The future depicted, excessively hot due to “global warming” and outlandishly violent and pervasive gang violence, seemed almost like a sure-bet at the time. 
 

For the tech, there’s plenty that I would want but as I just picked up my Hot Toys Delorean from BTTF 2, let’s just say that!

Media Psychos Weekly Challenge #34-  “…Days of Future Past  ……..”. ….

Thanks to @jwhitm3 for this week’s timely challenge… movies set in the future which has now become the past …so many titles to choose from , so with this week’s challenge … here are my choices….

1. Absolutely no apologies for choosing this one .. Bladerunner… released in 1982 and set in 2019.  …Perhaps realizing that we would not have lifelike, sentient robot "replicants" by the year 2019, "Blade Runner" actually got a sequel in 2017 that kicked things forward to 2049
2. Escape from New York - released in 1981 set  in 1997 John Carpenter's "Escape From New York" imagined that all of Manhattan has been turned into a giant, maximum-security prison to manage violence and crime run amok -- and that we'd realize this future by 1997.
3. Terminator 2 - Judgement Day - released in 1991 set in 1995 ….The events of "Terminator 2" are set in 1995 with the expectation that Judgment Day and a nuclear apocalypse triggered by sentient machines was right around the corner in August 1997.

 

 

 

The tech I would like to see realised is Definitely flying cars like the spinner from Bladerunner …😃…

CHALLENGE 35 - FAMILY BUSINESS

Thank you @R1s1ngs0n!

 

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Ralph Fiennes & Hero Fiennes Tiffen (uncle, nephew). Hero played childhood Tom Riddle aka Voldemort in flashbacks.

Home Alone - Macaulay Culkin & Kieran Culkin (brothers). Kieran played Fuller, the bedwetter.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - Angelina Jolie & Jon Voight (father, daughter).

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Carrie Fisher & Billie Lourd (mother, daughter).

Zoolander - Jerry Stiller & Ben Stiller (father, son).

 

 

One of my favorite couples is Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis. I grew up with That 70's Show and really came to love both of these actors. Ashton will forever be immortalized in my book as Michael Kelso; no matter how many serious roles he tries to do, I can never take him seriously. And I love most everything Mila has done, not to mention that she's damn fine lol.
