FWIW: Yes, Verhoven's Starship Troopers was pure parody. None the less, If you've ever lived through an insect infestation, you'll know how easy is is to get over-run.In Fantastic Voyage, the vehicle was reduced and THEN added to the fluid. I can suyspend disbelief on the vehicles weight/mass. The entire concept is dubious. It's like the old gag; if you rub that fluid on your penis that is supposed to make it bigger, won't it make your hands bigger too?
Yes, the Ghost and Mrs Muir is going on 60, but ghosts have been a plot device since long before Billy Shakespere. Ghost stories are as old as mankind. It's OK to not like ghost movies, but as already stated, clever and innovative films like "6th Sense" prove that the concept has NOT run it's course.
Yes, the sub in "Red October" was found easily, but it's well known that Soviet tech is not that great and that rarely invent technology themselves. Wasn't their Space Shuttle diesel powered?
However, I am sick to death of the entire Submarine genre. Every submarine movie is the same. Gee, do you think they'll go too deep? Think there will be an attempted mutiny? Think there will be those dramatic red lights? Lots of sweaty actors? As predictable as the phases of the moon.
I also have zero tolerance for musicals. I watched sections of "Sound of Music" over the holidays and found it intolerable.
I'm tired of comedies that use the device of the badguy getting hit in the nuts to get a big laugh.
