Greetings, fellow apes! Welcome to my class, "Collapsed Civilizations and their pointless pastimes"

Today we will discuss a thing humans called "movies", or as an old human "philosopher" (yes I know it sounds far-fetched) once called them,

The Analogy of the Cave!

So let us all stare at the dancing shadows on the cave wall, and ignore the real world outside as it rises up and casts us out as the parasites we are! They were thoroughly awful, humans, weren't they!

    I don't feel as enthusiastic about the new Apes movie as I'd like to. And I can't get excited about the new Jurassic Park either.

    I think I might be dead inside :(

    Said this in the superhero thread, but I screened the new Apes movie tonight. It's really good!

    It also bugs me that Rise came before Dawn. The sun dawns before it rises!

  • StericaSterica Yes Registered User, Moderator mod
    Well I mean it was already the planet of the apes to begin with, so the whole thing is a mess if we're going to get technical.

    i can't say i give even the tiniest remotest quantum of a shit about apes of the planet of the apes but man that new jurassic park looks pretty okay

    I'm surprised there is so much negativity towards Dawn.

    The trailers look amazing and Rise was excellent.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Apparently there's some great gun control messages in Dawn so be prepared for some infuriating political commentary on both sides. Better yet just ignore it.

    I did. I didn't love it. There were a lot of cool bits but it did bore me in places. But it is a film I will happily rewatch.

    I find something kind of off-putting about Caesar's CGI as well. He looks good, but he doesn't really look real, and he definitely doesn't look (to me) like a real chimp.

    I like that Gary Oldman seems to basically be playing Jim Gordon.

    The MST3K/Rifftrax crew are riffing Sharknado in certain theaters tonight only. I've never seen one frame of that "film" so this should be interesting.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    I already bought tickets for a 10:00 of Apes
    I wonder if I can do the 7:00 of Rifftrax as well
    I'll probably be the only one in the theater for Rifftrax

    Is there simply no clip of the whole damn performance on YouTube without people editing shit into it somehow?

  • WheatBun01WheatBun01 Face It, Tiger Registered User regular
    I'm super late to the party on this but I saw 22 Jump Street and it was pretty rad

    I think I actually liked it better than the first one? The meta jokes were sometimes a little much but overall I loved it

    there hasn't been a decent simpsons clip on youtube in at least 6 years.

    and, at the least, the mad men theater edit doesn't take anything away from the original

  • NogginNoggin Registered User regular
    We're actually really excited for apes, so we're having "ape-ocalypse" movie nights

    Rise... last night and Dawn... tomorrow, but tonight we're using the opening as an excuse to rewatch 28 Days Later
