Movie thread

there was maybe 3 funny parts? overall just too much Seth McFarland..... or whatever his name is.. I think with a few different cast members it could have been really good.

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

The last 15/20 minutes was mildly amusing. My wife said it best, a bad live action knock off of family guy.

 

[Krakosky]

Saw a couple minutes of "Chappie" before falling asleep. My brother and Mr.Krak said it was good but I have my doubts. A robot saying "mommy, daddy" for 2 hours.

I thought that movie was called "Ted".

I don't know that I can bring myself to watch "Chappie." Even the commercials annoyed the shit out of me.

 

[Wolverine]

November Man, with Pierce Brosnan, playing a wizened old spy that comes out of retirement to combat the not so bad guys and corrupted good guys.

Full of unpredictable twists and turns, except the opposite of that.

Still, it wasn't BAD-bad, but it was along the lines of Bourne Identity or Taken, where there's a whole lot of cool secret spy arse-whipping, just so long as you turn your disbelief off at the door. Fairly similar, rehashed plotlines.

I mean, seriously, a bunch of dudes in plainclothes running into a shootout in a building and everyone shrugs like "Ok, yeah, that's normal here in MonteKosoSoviStan". How did he know that secret information? Don't ask - he just knew, and now there's a shootout - YAY!

2.5 stars out of 5, with (+) points for explosions, but (-) points for lack of helicopters.

Finished up "The Hobbit" last night. It was alright. Definitely feels like they stretched the whole thing out way too much...I watched it because I'd already watched the previous ones, but it wouldn't have bothered me too much if I would have skipped it.

^I watched that on a laptop with shitty speakers during our last tropical storm, about a week ago. I wasn't impressed. All I could think, continuously, was how could such a fun book be turned into such a boring, lifeless trudge?

 

[Supe]

Also saw 1342382^2 Ways to Die in the West. Had just about everything I hate in a movie. Charlize Theron with clothes on, an unfunny Family Guy guy, and Liam Neeson with a heavy accent despite being in the wild west, which was TOTALLY deliberate since they made fun of Liam Neeson in an episode of Family Guy for that EXACT reason.

There were a handful of parts I chuckled at just because I'm immature, but that's about it.

watched the Super Mario Bros movie, the one staring John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins, with minisnick the other day. He absolutely LOVED the movie

Avengers Age of Ultron. EPIC!!! Very good IMO.

 

[Road Guy]

My daughter is pissed that Loki is not in this movie

 

[Dleg]

I thought Ultron was great, too. There was so much going on, that even with watching all the other Marvel movies, I still had to ask some nerd friends about a couple of the characters and references at last night's May the Fourth event.

Not a movie, per se, but watched most of the Kurt Cobain documentary on HBO. Not only was the entire thing irritating as shit to watch, but he was far more of an obnoxious, strung-out heroin addict than even I thought possible. For someone people gush over as being so "brilliant", he had the mentality of a five year old.

 

[Road Guy]

So did it smell like teen Spirit?

I grew up right in the middle of the whole "grunge" thing and I never did like him or his music. Was never sure why everyone thought Nirvana was so great.

"American Sniper" showed up on PT so I watched that this weekend. It was pretty good. I think it's one of those movies that wouldn't have done as well as it did at the box office if some people hadn't made such a fuss about it. Or maybe it just didn't have the same effect on me as other people after being over there (Afghanistan -vs- Iraq).

Also watched "Jupiter Ascending". It was a decent watch too. The premise was a little iffy and no bewbs, but plenty of lasers and explosions. Channing Tatum needs to fire his agent...he looked like a reject from a bad werewolf movie on the Syfy channel.

Smelled like taint.

 

[Road Guy]

We went and saw the avengers yesterday. It was pretty good but all of those type movies are just so much of the same
