Reply to Why can't Terminator 2 be considered one of the greatest movie of all time ? by SavingsService2138
You can consider it whatever you want to consider it. "One of the greatest movies" has no objective meaning. It's purely opinion.
For what it's worth, I love that movie.

Knowing there's a big twist is a big spoiler in itself. You shouldn't be surprised your experience was spoiled. It's not the movie's fault.

Reply to I have developed a preference to robotic text to speech (TTS) over audiobooks. by emptyvasudevan
I sometimes do that too. I wouldn't say I prefer TTS to human readers. Maybe I prefer it to some human readers. But some TTS voices are quite decent. I use Google voices (the free ones). I always use the network versions, the offline ones are not good.
My first language is Spanish, and when reading in Spanish there's a Google voice that I really like (more than I like the English voices).

Reply to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds wins Saturn Award for Best Streaming Sci-fi Series by Shizzlick
Last year's Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Television Series?
Star Trek Discovery. (Yes, you heard that right.)

This seems unlikely. The book was published almost a year and a half ago. An astroturfing campaign would make much more sense for a recently-published book.

Reply to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom by movieguy2004
I love that movie. It's a lot of fun and has a great pace, pure pulp adventure. Some all-time great action set-pieces. The mine cart chase, as an adult, seems a bit silly, though, although I loved it as a kid.
It gets criticized because the female lead is not a "strong female character", but for me she was the only sane character in the cast, a good comic foil for Indy and Short Round, freaking out quite reasonably while the other two took all the craziness in stride.
The first three Indiana Jones movies were great, while the fourth was very disappointing. I don't really want to see the 5th. I don't trust them to do anything good with a 90 years old Indy.
They should either end the franchise or recast Indy, just like they do with James Bond. If they recast, it won't be easy to capture the roguish charm that Harrison Ford used to have, though. Also, if they go back to the 30s they will basically be restricted to fighting the nazis, since having those exaggerated pulp adventures outside that will be called racism.
