Larz Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 so I caught the martian tonight. I was posting in another thread how camino gave you an hour in the deer hunter before they go hunting, you really get to know the characters and you really care about them the martian gives you 45 seconds before the storm with a few cliche character set-up lines before that mortal sin, I didn't care about the mission or watney. I wound up half watching it while doing other things it was ok science wise, they avoided a lot of other cliches (no aliens or pyramids, lol) but I just didn't care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMFAO. No joke, I just finished watching an edited version of Carpenter's "The Thing" remake on Viceland. Though the special effects are dated, still an awesome flick. And Kurt Russell is beyond cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotcheryifyouCan Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 saw a bunch of movies the past two weeks. civil war was great. really loved it. bvs was way to long and all over the place. i thought affleck did surprisingly well tho. the jungle book was a ton of fun, but i am biased since that was my favorite disney movie as a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not watching it to get some type of cinematic classic that moves heart and changes perspective. I'm watchinghttp://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781532708299it because they do bad ass sh*t and its cool. They're ******* super heroes for christ sake. It's make believe. Does anyone rip horror movies for being terrible? No. You just accept it because it's a horror movie. I think some of the criticism has to do with how well the Bale Batman movies were done. They were pretty flawless for this genre and it's just really hard to do. Not every character is perfectly evolved like Batman. Some are weird and out there and to expect a perfectly hole free movie is just silly. Not a fan of most superhero movies, but agree. Not sure how anyone looks at them like it's "Citizen Kane" . Same thing with most comedies; really what is your expectation? Saw "The Revenant" and it was visually spectacular, along with a great story; simply it is unlike anything else coming out of Hollywood. IF "Cool Had Luke" is the sweatiest move of all time,this could be the most hypothermic. DeCaprio's award was well-deserved,and Tom Hardy as a villain was very good as always. About Hardy-"Peaky Blinders" is back on Netlfix right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys love Carpenter, google the tour he's on right now. He's playing all his soundtracks with a live band that includes his son and based on early reviews they have some kickass visuals on the stage and the shows have been amazing. Got my tix to the Chicago show a while ago, which were followed by me explaining to my wife what we were going to and her replying "of course you'd want to go to this." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched about the first half of it. 2 Things Diamond Dallas Page is now, and has always been a class guy. Going all the way back to Mick Foley's 1st book, NO ONE says anything bad about that guy. He is The Man Wrestling is fake, sure. But because it's not a sport, it's participants have brutal lives. Always on the road, un-diagnosed concussions, crap health care, no union to watch out for them, forced to work through bad injuries, lots of alcohol, lots of pain killers. So many of them are dead so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it makes sense now in hindsight, because he never seemed like the type of character that should have made it to the levels that he did, but as Hall was saying all the other guys in WCW pushed for him to get the belt because they all loved him so much. Real talk. When that video of Scott Hall surfaced a few years ago of him being doped out of his mind at some high school show and looking like a zombie, I was crushed. I was such a huge fan of his growing up. Seeing how he gets himself together for the ending of this flick really got to me. I'm almost motivated to purchase Page's yoga vids just as a thank you.

Finished it. That scene where Hall is trying, and his hip is popping so loud the camera is picking it up 15 feet away is sick. DDP has some AMAZING stories of people he has helped with his Yoga.

RutgersJetFan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 10 Cloverfield Lane is one of Abrams' best and I don't know how many other actors out there shift as effortlessly between roles as John Goodman.

SenorGato Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 X:Men Apocalypse was horrendous. Waste of Isaac, Apocalypse, Fassbender, pretty much all the talent, and Jennifer Lawrence gave nothing but a bunch of cliche movie inspirational speeches....Seemed like a vehicle to gauge how Sansa appeals to a wider audience and hangs with bigger names. Any non-DB/ DBZ movie that ends with a character being told to unleash their TRUE power is just not on the right path.

RutgersJetFan Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ultimate Edition of BvS is great. If you loathed the theatrical version I'm not sure if it'll sway your opinion, but for what it's worth this is the only version that should be watched going forward. And I do believe that though people still would have been critical of it, had Warners had released this version I don't think it would have been nearly as vitriolic.
