ROMANTIC/EMOTIONAL Movies You need To Watch Before 2020 Ends...

A THREAD 👌

Number 11 Made Me Cry 😭😭💔💔

alright here we go, these are the most iconic British TV moments of 2020

1. When Zara McDermott told Sam Thompson HE CAN

Doolittle is weirder and worse than I expected. It pulls the Hunt for Red October language trick but for animal noises, and introduces the concept of the Doctor talking to animals three times in the first fifteen minutes, in case you forgot.

This movie is a higher budget FARCE OF THE PENGUINS.

Apparently it's Dolittle.

I was not prepared for just how bonkers that was.

At one point, Dolittle's boat blows up, so Antonio Banderas gives him a new one. And everyone is hanging out on it as they sail and they hear a voice say "company!"

Superhero movies thread.... Which is your favorite from each?

1. AVENGERS VS X MEN

2. DARK KNIGHT VS CAPTAIN AMERICA

3. BLACK PANTHER VS DEADPOOL

4. THOR: RAGNAROK VS IRONMAN

5. THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN VS MAN OF STEEL

At the risk of crapping on Star Trek: The Motion Picture before it's 40th anniversary, I really think I've figured out why that movie is kind of plodding.

Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. It's my favorite cause it's the closest the movies have gotten to Pulp SciFi.

But it really is slow, lacks character moments and just goes on and on. Robert Wise's Director's Cut does fix things in the case of speeding the movie up, but it's still lacking in a lot of action or character moments.

Ever since I got my hands on the first draft of the movie written by Harold Livingston back when it was a two hour TV pilot, I tried to figure out where everything went wrong.

The pilot is actually really good, has a lot of action, a few nice nice character moments and really moves. The only real flaw is the ending, where V'Ger learns humans created it and it literally just turns and leaves.

How did it go so wrong?

I think it was the "Writer's War" between Harold Livingston and Gene Roddenberry.

I got several other drafts of the movie, including the second draft by Gene Roddenberry. Roddenberry's second draft actually added in a lot more character moments.

Saif Ali Khan wants to reimagine Ramayana to show Ravana as a good person & justify Sita’s abduction. This is most disturbing & must be opposed.
Why at a time when states are struggling to deal with increasing kidnappings?

Maybe Saif’s anti-Hindu family history can explain

Saif’s ancestors came to India from Afghanistan & rose to power under Mughals. They assisted British against Hindu kings in establishing empire. Saif’s family has ISI connections. One of them was top choice for ISI chief post. Saif is proud of it all, and named his son Taimur

Said’s ancestry in India begins with arrival of Salamat Khan in 1480 AD. Babur, Timurid ruler of Kabulistan, defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in first Battle of Panipat and established Mughal rule. Salamat’s great-grandson Muhammed Pir rose to power in Akbar’s court

Salamat’s descendent Alaf Khan helped Mughals in battle against Hindu Maharaja of Jaipur and was rewarded with Kalam mahal (which today is known as Pataudi House neat Delhi Gate).
From same family, Faiz Talab Khan helped British against Marathas.

As reward, Faiz Talab Khan became first Nawab of newly established princely state of Pataudi in 1804. Saif was (symbolically) anointed 10th Nawab after death of his father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi in 2011
