I'm surprised so many people liked the new Ghostbusters movie because it especially felt like really drained of all life that the original had and the ending was just a CGI mess.
The other disappointments I had recently was Civil War and probably Age of Ultron.
oh i forgot another good "DC fucks with the TV shows because bullshit" thing
Arrow was going to feature Ted Kord/The Blue Beetle in season 3 (they even reference Kord several times in earlier seasons to set it up), but DC put the kibosh on that because there has been for many years a Teen Titans show in development for TNT, which would feature Jaime Reyes' version of the Blue Beetle
and they didn't want two different Blue Beetles on two different shows
so instead, you get a version of Ray Palmer/The Atom who is basically just Ted Kord.
that Teen Titans show never got made, btw

I have no allies here. Some of you don't like zootopia and some of you don't like iron man 3 and you're not always the same people.
but allies can have differences...
ludious, it takes all kinds
You don't like the original Star Wars trilogy. What did you think I forgot you agent provocateur
nobody likes the OT. they just pretend to like it because of nerd pressure or because they can't bear to let go of what they liked as children, wrapped in their own nostalgia like a kitten in yarn
in fact i believe nobody has even watched the OT in over ten years, they've just pretended to
I watched the OT for the first time when I was 18ish. I enjoyed it, but what I didn't get is how those films inspired the EU and the obsession over the films that followed in that series. Of all the cinema in the world, how is it that series that generates such an obsession? If I internalized that more clearly I would not have been blindsided later as an entire degenerate culture developed around trailers and teaser shots of Marvel's universe.
I think SW tends to win on the whole obsessive culture because it literally was the creator of that type of culture and monetization of movies through external things such as the toys and such.
SW, even if you don't like, quiet literally defined Hollywood and movies for decades after.
On the other points of discussion I liked Rogue One. It had some editing issues though.
It was miles ahead of the prequels which I don't think people remember just how bad they were till you watch them again.
ESB is still my favorite though. With ANH/TFA tied for second and RotJ in third followed by Rogue One.
The first film is an obvious jaw dropper. Even with a first experience decades removed for its debut, I got pangs of regret for not having been born to watch it in the 70s. But nothing specifically about that world left me wanting for it to be explored in excruciating detail.

Amazing mustache.
I know the whole point is catharsis through tears but come on.

Fuck Joe Manchin
the Rebels show has tons of filler but when it tackles things earnestly it does quite a good job
i'm not sure what he means with his final statement there, though, since i haven't watched it lately (the filler got to me)

Maybe it was to hold the bullets for the revolver so he wasn't just carrying them around in his pocket or somethin
