Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I hate me when I'm right. It's OK, you can too.
we'll get along famously.
unless you have a private recording im not aware of....i've heard it all....cept for some concerts on bootlegg.
my Elvis music cd collection...just counting the titles....number over 500.
i have over 150 bootlegg concerts...from the early 50s...to the earliest known vegas show in '69...to his last concert in indianapolis in '77.
on vinyl i have every album he released...plus the camden releases.
the only record i dont have is his first christmas album...that had the booklet that promoted jailhouse rock.
i live by a simple rule....never pause a Elvis song til it quits....turn it up.
ELVIS.ROCKS.
and for the record....Elvis never made a bad movie...just some better than others.

Note: I stop watching M. Night Shyamalan movies with this R-rated debacle, made an exception two years later with his remake of The Last Airbender, cussed myself for doing so, and have not watched another one of his movies since.

Abrams' revamping of Star Trek is not appreciated by some but, retrospectively, how is the "shoot 'em up" in Star Trek (2009) that dissimilar to what was seen in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan?
You do realize it's an alternate timeline/reality, right?That Wrath of Khan explores themes about humanity such as getting older and dealing with loss, as well as themes of greed and revenge. It's consistent with the original Star Trek in that it explores themes like this related to humankind trying to better itself. It also keeps the characters consistent with the original series with Kirk being the gutsy captain trying to right wrongs, and Spock being the logical one, even using logic in the end to choose to sacrifice is own life to save others. The 2009 movie is pure trash compared to that. All it has is a bunch of shoot'em'up action and special effects and exactly zero characterization. Kirk and Spock are cardboard cutouts, comic book versions of their TV show selves, and even what little is shown is not not consistent with the original show. Spock, a Vulcan, only gets sexual once every 7 years for the Pahn Farr, but in the '09 film is shown fondling all over Uhura. If they had done any tiny smidgen of research about Trek, they would have known that was totally our of character for him. The Wrath of Khan was a smartly written Star Trek film in which the action conveys multiple themes about humanity, and ending with gut-wrenching emotion with Spock sacrificing himself. The '09 movie is just a bunch of superficial action with no quality story, no themes at all, trash characterization, and huge conflicts with the original show. In short, TWOK is like a high-end meal at one of New York City's finest restaurants, while '09 Trek is like cotton candy. The '09 film fails on every level. It's throw-away cinematic junkfood. It's so bad, many Trekkers (myself included) don't even consider it to be Star Trek. JJ Abrams even admitted he never even liked Star Trek, and it shows in the awful mess of a movie that he made. His followup movie was also terrible, and the third one (not directed by him) made some attempts at theme, but ultimately was still totally inferior to The Wrath of Khan and the original show.

I'm pretty sure the timeline/alternate reality change was the point of the whole new series of movies, and not just a way to "fix" it. Personally, I like the new movies as much as the original ones.Yes, they made the alternate reality timeline out of lazy writing. They only did that to cover up their rambling, garbage writing. Other alternate reality stories in Trek had reasons for doing those that were tied to their themes. Trek '09 has no theme. It's just a bunch of pointless action that adds up to nothing. Then they couldn't figure out how to make it work, so they just decided, "Oh, well, alternate timeline." I mean, it's plot is awful. If they wanted a comic book pseudo-science adventure show, they should have kept their hands off of Trek, as that's not what Trek was ever about before then.
You look at who wrote the original Wrath of Khan vs the abortion remake.I'm pretty sure the timeline/alternate reality change was the point of the whole new series of movies, and not just a way to "fix" it. Personally, I like the new movies as much as the original ones.
the whole alternative time line is lazy and stupid. fits right in with current Hollywood.You do realize it's an alternate timeline/reality, right?
So you'd prefer they just did the same old story over and over? Even if they wanted to, they couldn't use a new cast to portray just a younger version of the same characters. Nobody would buy that, because you can't duplicate what the original actors presented. The characters had to change.the whole alternative time line is lazy and stupid. fits right in with current Hollywood.
des moines,iowaHahahaha...............Hahahahahahahahahaha....................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...............HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Seems unlikely. He could probably tell you how many people attended Elvis's 3rd to last concert - How many were men and how many were women, and the average age group.

I liked it, but not to the point of wanting to see it again. I like some movies most people don't like too, such as Joe Vs. the Volcano. I thought that was hilarious.That's fine. I'm just giving my opinion on them, but I'm not saying other people aren't allowed to enjoy them. I'm honest about what movies I think are good and which ones aren't, but I'm not some kind of emperor out to order people to yield to my views. There are some movies I've liked that other people have not liked at all. I loved the 2016 movie, Passengers, with Jennifer Lawrence and Christ Pratt. I was really surprised when it got bad reviews.
joe v volcano was good.I liked it, but not to the point of wanting to see it again. I like some movies most people don't like too, such as Joe Vs. the Volcano. I thought that was hilarious.
Volunteers was hilarious! I quote the "money is money" line a lot.joe v volcano was good.
rhinestone was like that for me.
others hated it....i laughed til i cried on some scenes.
volunteers was another i liked that no one else did.
