re: Twister - time has abused it badly

I'm pretty surprised a 1996 movie about sentient, homicidal tornadoes isn't one people look back on as a cinematic masterpiece.
Disaster movies aren't meant to be Oscar bait. They're meant to be fun and loud. Twister is fun and loud.
RIP Bill Paxton.

Can you give us a movie review of Denzel Washington's runaway train movie Unstoppable?

I had to drop in and double check that I did downvote your arse

I’m not going to agree with the outdated CGI or made up science points. I kind of knew it was BS at the time anyway.
I think you’re spot on about the terrible chemistry between Hunt and Paxton as well as the forced painful to watch relationship triangle they had going on. I remember watching it in 1996 and knowing within the first few minutes that those stupid divorce papers were never getting signed. That was a terrible decision to center the movie around them.

It's in the pantheon of movies like Snakes on a Plane. The title supplies you with 100% of the plot.
It's the type of movie where you know exactly what is going to happen and why you went to see it. So don't pretend to judge it, any judgment should be about yourself.
Like, I'd be so ****ing mad if I went to see Unstoppable and halfway through there was a twist and it wasn't actually about an out of control train.

You guys are in it for the science.

The tornadoes were sentient?

Totally get it man. I watched Casablanca the other day and was like “this movie blows, movies these days are in color!”

I mean, they were developing on a daily basis just to go after Paxton and Hunt. The real question is whether they've villains for trying to kill them or heroes for forcing them into a high stress situation to save their marriage.
It's just like that in most disaster movies. Natural disasters HATE famous buildings. You watch any disaster movie and it's always the Eiffel Tower or Empire State Building getting railed, never some random apartment complex.

That was a big thing in the 90s. A lot of good movies that also have that…thing.

my only complaint was the tornados could pick up vehicles, move houses and pull boards and nails out of things, but Hellen Hunt could not lose her shirt in any of the encounters?

I occasionally hate watch Unstoppable as I was a RR engineer once upon a time. The inaccuracies are laughably bad.
*I've actually operated the exact locomotives that are the focal point of the movie. They were leased from my railroad for the movie.

I made it 155 DV’s. This guy must fricking LOVE My Dinner with Andre!! Like Shane Gillis said….”I didn’t know Dad was Gay.” I hated Die Hard man….totally unbelievable and the CG when Hans falls is horrible.

Helen Hunt’s face right now looks like it was processed by the Shark Blender level 9.
