Picked up the Ultimate Edition of BvS today. Still haven't seen the theatrical version. No idea when I'll get to watch it, being a 3 hour film and not really wanting to watch it with my toddler around.

plot spoiler:
thank god all four white dudes were conveniently free to save the minority crew members!
i kinda wish i'd seen this before nerve yesterday so i could leave the theater on a high note instead of crushing disappointment
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I kept pulling out my phone to see how long I'd been stuck there. Also how long each chunk of the movie was.
About 30 minutes of actually doing space stuff...then an hour plus of motorcycles and shaky cam fights...then maybe 20 minutes of space stuff at the end?
Boy was that villain a waste. Badly explained on multiple levels, plus a waste of a good actor. Just disappointing.
Also really annoying to see how Simon Pegg wrote himself into more scenes and kept trying to give himself more jokes, more references and more importance.
i stopped myself from falling asleep about an hour in
in retrospect, sleeping would have been the better option

I find it fascinating to use Godzilla as a metaphor for Japan's National emotional trauma. It makes me wonder how you could represent this with the United States, but I fear it would be exceptionally freaky.
Whether or not I would see either one is up in the air.
Independence Day
I dunno, the big speech in Independence Day is how the 4th of July won't be an American holiday anymore because the entire world is gonna team up and work together.
How convenient for America that nothing has to change for them in this transaction
I mean aside from half the country being blown up, you mean
On the bright side, no more Houston. That's got to count for something.

i saw lara croft: tomb raider: cradle of life in theaters because i was dumb enough to let the same friend who dragged me to see adam sandler's eight crazy nights in theaters pick the movie again

I saw Jason Bourne today. It's definitely...fourth best, out of the Damon Bourne movies, and it spends most of the movie looking for a reason to exist.
They kill Julia Stiles in the first big chase sequence of the movie, and then completely forget about her, and they fully don't give a shit about the woman from the first movie, which is super unfortunate. And then they take the guy who killed Julia Stiles and have him be the one who also killed Jason Bourne's dad, which is a story beat we only learn about in this movie that...I dunno, is supposed to be a reason Bourne is doing anything? But he doesn't really seem to give a shit about it?
It's a better belated, unnecessary sequel than Independence Day 2, given that the Bourne series can at least plumb some relevance from current events (they name drop Snowden like, six times), but nobody involved seems to care that much about it, and there's really nobody in this movie that I really care enough about to ratchet up the tension the way this series can when it's firing on all cylinders.
I dunno. I didn't hate it, because that would take more effort than anyone involved seemed to put into making it. Kind of a bummer.

I also did not hate it, but I also don't think it really did anything better than what the previous movies have already done.
I also feel like the fight choreography got worse?

There was like...one classic Bourne fight scene, and it wasn't great, yeah. And none of the chase scenes were up to the standard they'd set in previous movies. Doesn't help that there's no real tension in any of the scenes, because you don't really care what happens to anyone because you're given no reason to.
As someone who loathes the Beastie Boys, I feel like a big part of Beyond would be lost on me
There's a mildly famous audio clip of Shatner reading lines for the Star Trek Animated Series, one of them being "Spock, sabotage the computer" or something like it. Bottom line is he prononces sabotage like "sabo-taj" (think tag) instead of "sabotahj." The audio engineer corrects him and Shatner's reply is "YOU say sabotahj, *I* say sabo-TAJ." The popular belief is that Abrams trolled Shatner by having young Kirk listen to Sabotage by the Beastie Boys in ST'09. He claims he wasn't aware that Shatner said it one way over the other, but I refuse to believe that. Howard Stern played that audio clip all the god damn time and Abrams is a fan. He must have heard it once before.
Then again, I haven't seen Beyond, so I have no idea what the story is there.
Very close
I've just had a lot of other demands on my time lately
I like it! Some of y'all were selling it like it was hot garbage but it's been fine, definitely a slump from S1 but not by a whole lot
It's pretty bad, but even Korra at its worst is leagues better than most animated television.
Plus books 3 and 4 are legitimately really good, and are where the show really starts standing out above the weaknesses that kinda held it back throughout 1 and 2.
Star Trek was a disappointment. So much of it was unexciting and uninteresting, and the action wasn't any good. It felt too long, which is one of the worst things I can call a movie.
The sabotage moment was cool, but I wish they hadn't used the song in the trailer. It would have been nice to be surprised.
I was honestly considering getting up and leaving, which I've never done before. I have sat through some bad movies, but this is the only one I've ever seen in a theater where I've been so bored and disappointed that I just wanted to stop watching it and go do something else.

I really liked it.
And then THAT moment happened
Really fun movie.
Which is a shame, because the non-bender revolution is a better starting premise
Correct
But hoo boy is it bad
There's a real dumb thing with a shark that happens at the beginning
I really hope that new movie with Alicia Vikander will be good
i was the dumbest teen
the last movie he did, The Visit (2015) currently has 64% on RottenTomatoes and 55 on MetaCritic

So, like he said, major upswing.
Why I fear the ocean.

Mainly because I have a soft spot for Angelina Jolie and for Tomb Raider
That said I'm hoping the Alicia Vikander film will be much much better
It's really of a different era

You honestly cannot imagine how badly The Last Airbender fucks up everything from the source material, but it somehow manages.
It's legitimately the single worst movie I have ever sat through.

it'd be "this ain't jack reacher XXX" or something
is the headbutt his signature move?
I think you're confusing Shatner with The Bowler
You got him.

They advised him never to see it.
I watched it on fast forward and still hated it.
It was an ip with maximum cross cultural potential and it was driven into the ground by the worst director possible.
