It is hard to put a number on the amount of "innocent" "people" I would have slain if it could stop just one Kevin Costner film seeing the light of day. I have to be pragmatic and think of the greater good and happiness of the world.
There is nothing in waterworld that wasn't done a million times better and for a trillion times less money in Mad Max...Except water obviously, but that was a large part of the point to the film. Ww is wholly unoriginal and simply a string of cinematic cliches held together by one of the weakest ever premiss'. Did it ever occur to anyone that there isn't enough water around to submerge all of the land?
The only thing that could have made the film even bearable to watch would have been if the main character had been played by some one else...Any one else in fact. Danny DeVito would have been better as would Milly Ry Cirus or Wilfred Bramble before or after he died.
FYI I could not sleep a wink if a dvd of ww were on as I would be seething too much. You can say pretty much what you like about my capscity for murder or my alegence aliegance aleigence sympathy to far far far right wing groups but you have crossed the line with your comments about my tea making. It's not that I thought better of you (your opinion of waterworld makes that quite impossible) but I did think you might not want to come across as a totally unreasonable person because of how it might weaken your argument. Possibly not unlike your tea.
P.S. I am surprised that you did not mention my "ilk". Your sort usually do.
Do you know ANYTHING about cinema? No need to answer, it was rhetorical.
Danny de Vito as the Mariner? Are you being serious? Maybe as the Deacon.
Wilfred Bramble was in Waterworld, as it happens. He was the old geezer in the rowing boat with the dipstick. His best work ever.
Also... If there wasn't enough water to submerge ALMOST all of the land (you forget Dry Land, marked on the map) then how did they film the world turning blue in the opening credits? CGI? I don't think so.
Only a serious method actor like Costner could have evolved gills and learned to breathe under water for a film role. It ranks up there with Robert de Niro learning to be fat and ugly for Raging Bull. Or that muscle chap doing his excellent Austrian accent in Terminated.
I can only put your attitude down to envy... either because you are not bright enough to keep up with the subtle twists in the unfolding plot of Waterworld, or because you wish you'd made it but you didn't.
Do you know the only thing worse than a Nazi? A jealous, derivative, intellectually limited neo-Nazi who has very poor taste in films and doesn't recognise genius when he sees it and says unkind things about works of genius just to get a reaction on Internet fora. And can't make tea and can't tell the difference between an aquatic homage to Mad Max 2 and a blatant copy but with more water, with Waterworld being the former, obviously.
In a nutshell, that's the only thing worse than a Nazi.
