It's a Pretty good depiction of the Danish society where male kindergarden workers are suspected way worse than women. And when your accused of something like that, standing up for yourself will only lead to people thinking you're guilty. This week in Denmark male kindergarden workers have been forbidden changing the diapers of children in more than 100 institutions, ridiculous discrimination against men going on.

Oh well than fair enough. Didn't know that this was a story about something real that is going on atm in modern day Denmark.

22 jump street is apparently better than the first one. Which is quite exciting since the first was great itself.

Not going to cinema for this one so gonna wait for the Blu ray

by El Gunner Sat Jun 07, 2014 5:05 pm

In the first one. Loved that scene when they took the drugs rofl

Just watched Captain Philips :bow:

Almost shed a tear towards the end Sad

I want to start Star Wars since they're coming out with VII, should i watch the old Star Wars movies?

by Freeza Sat Jun 07, 2014 9:41 pm

Stick to the old movies, there's no point in tormenting yourself with the prequels, 1 and 2 atleast... fairly enjoyed the third one.

by McLewis Sat Jun 07, 2014 11:00 pm

Watch all 6 if you want the entire picture for why the originals are good and the prequels are not tbh. It also helps fill in plot gaps.

Star Wars IV: A New Hope - Very Good, worth a watch
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back - Brilliant, best of the series and an all-time classic
Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi - Good but a bit polarizing (ewoks), necessary to tie up the story and set up up-coming sequels; worth a watch as well

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace - Crap, watch only for "the fight" and if you want full picture... ignore anything that doesn't make sense.
Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones - Crapper, only reason to watch is if you're OCD about filling out the entire series
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith - Ok movie, worth a watch if you've got some free time or want to fill out the series

So why did they start with Star wars 'IV'? or they always planned on making a prequel?

When first released in 1977, this movie was simply titled "Star Wars", as it was intended to be a stand-alone movie. Sequels were not considered until after it became wildly successful. The name of this movie was changed to "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" in 1981 to fit in better with the names of the other films. The later print was the first one to be released on mass market video (an earlier Betamax release did not have the subtitle), and all video, laserdisc or DVD releases have featured the subtitles. The theatrical cut DVDs, released in September 2006, were the first time that the original opening crawl, without subtitle, has been released on home video. The reason George Lucas created the title card "Episode IV" in the first film was as a homage to 1940's Saturday afternoon "cliffhanger" serials, like the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. He also used the "text crawl" the same way each of those series opened up new chapters. He did not at the time have Episodes I, II, and III already planned. In fact, at one point, 20th Century Fox wanted the "Episode IV" title removed so as not to confuse moviegoers. There are some prints of the film that do not have that title card.

Thanks RO, i might start on IV, though i'll probably watch the recent 3 sometime after.

Edge of Tmrw - one of the worst advertised movie, terrible trailers.

However it was amazing, love the story and was funny too

I have a question for Star Wars fans, should you show the original or the re-released cuts to newcomers?

Originals #Hanshotfirst

Of the Danish ones, I've heard best things about Kvinden i buret. No idea how they translate it to that though, since it means the woman in the cage

I've found that often English movie titles for foreign films are not direct translations but are alternate titles which have been changed for the English-speaking audience, presumably for marketing reasons.

by Freeza Wed Jun 11, 2014 3:46 pm

Yeah, would have to see to understand the logic behind that choice though. Worst change of title is Die Hard with a vengeance being called Die Hard: Mega Hard in Denmark
