Movie thread

[Road Guy]

Reviews for ID2 were bad so I am assuming that means it's a good movie?

The last Hunger Games movie was a pretty fat turd compared to some of the others.  

 

[snickerd3]

hunger game series and divergent series seem like almost the same thing to me.  repression, rebellion, etc...  I can't stand the actress in the divergent series...too many teeny bopper shows being the whiny selfish b@tch.  

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

The books for both series were pretty crap too ^

I took my son to see Finding Dory last week.  It was pretty light for a Pixar movie.  Good entertainment, though, if you must see it.

Same here.  Junior's (2.5 yrs old) first movie theater experience.  Movie itself was pretty good, though I contest not as good as the first.

It's hard to match the originality of the first Pixar films.  They've already gone there, so to speak, and it was probably always inevitable that their later films would never seem as good as the first several.  I'm just thankful that they sort of reversed the turn toward excessive sadness, in my opinion, as demonstrated in Up and Toy Story 3.

yeah but if it gets teenagers to read then its not "all bad"

I read all three books in one weekend (Hunger Games) was sort of sick and just read them on the couch, they were a quick read, I enjoyed the first two books, but the 3rd one was like a Stephen King book where they ran out of gas on how to write the ending and just sort of through something together..

Also have no desire to see Dory, or Toy Story 4

So everyone was bored at our house last night and we went and saw Independence Day.  It was almost like one of those old sci fy movies that is so bad that its good (but not actually good).. You know its bad when the best character in the whole show was the weird PhD Scientist Guy (Data from star trek).

I think they would have made more money if they had just re-released the previous movie for everyone to watch again on the big screen..

Also kind of ironic they have a female president, who is a terrible president

I was thinking of going to see it.  Don't think I will now.

Except, didn't he die after the alien autopsy in the first movie?

 

[Road Guy]

yeah that was my thought as well, apparently he was put in some type of alien induced coma

so I guess Hollywood decided they would skip this summer for having "summer blockbuster" movies?

it's leap year

 

[einatlanta PhD PE]

To give everyone some perspective on how bad it has gotten during the summer blockbuster season I pulled some movies that were released in the summer of 1985 (end of May till mid August) to compare......if can call it a comparison anyway:

Brewster's Millions
Rambo: First Blood Part II
A View to a Kill  
Fletch
The Goonies  
St. Elmo's Fire
Back to the Future
Silverado
National Lampoon's European Vacation
Weird Science
Real Genius
Summer Rental
Ghostbusters (re-release)
Teen Wolf

 

[Road Guy]

I would be up for a re release of just about any of those movies instead of whatever garbage they have out there now

one would think that these liberal arts majors sitting around on their apple laptops bitching about their student loans would maybe spend a little of their time coming up with new movie ideas

Was flipping through the cable guide and saw Uncle Buck was on.  Then I saw it was this:

WTF?!?! Really??!!??

Thankfully while I googled the program, this came up:

False.  




Are you sure about that?!  I swear on all that is holy if anyone remakes the Goonies, I'm going off the grid.

 

[Road Guy]

by re-release I meant showing the original movie in the theatre (same movie)

& a big "false" to Bourne, we have all seen that movie before (I think 3 times now)
