What I liked about Logan... the swearing, it seem to add the needed intensity and emotion that was missing out of the other movies; the humor, it wasn't slap stick like Deadpool it was well placed and done in a way where it did not feel forced; They might have fucked up the Old man Logan story line a little but if they really wanted to they could make it work; x-23 was cool and the story was not half bad.Starnum wrote:What did you like about Logan? What makes it the best X-Men movie? I actually think Deadpool is the best. It is kind of an X-Men movie.
I watched Passengers last night. I actually thought it was pretty good, if a little predictable.
So was Get Out as racist as it looked... it kind of looked like a scary movie but I couldn't tell more of a thriller maybe... let me know.Grahf wrote:I saw Get out last night enjoyed it very much. I've heard great things about Logan so far. So I think that'll be my next week movie.
I'm sorry to say this out loud but.... I'll be going to see the Ghost in the Shell movie. That'll be a beautiful dumpster fire.
that and they probably have a bunch of made for 3d effects. Yeah no more racist than any other movie with the Black man dying in the first five minutes.Sandman wrote: So was Get Out as racist as it looked... it kind of looked like a scary movie but I couldn't tell more of a thriller maybe... let me know.
Logan worth it
I too will be seeing the dumpster fire that is Ghost in the shell... but not on opening day... I will even go see it in 3d because Scarlet J.'s boobs and skin suit deserve the attention
Though enjoyable if you like Key and Peele's work. Interesting... Key and Peele do funny stuff this movie did not look funny but if it is a dark sense of humor type of movie I am inGrahf wrote: Yeah no more racist than any other movie with the Black man dying in the first five minutes.
Yeah ScarJo skin suit for the win. Makes me think to watch Don Jon again.
(pun intended) The Lobster, the funniest looking movie that wasn't funny at all... reminded me of Punchdrunk love thought it was going to be funny but it wasn't... not because of the Actors but because of the trailers... although seeing Adam Sandler play a serious role was a nice change of pace back in the day.Starnum wrote:I'm interested in seeing Get Out when it goes to video. I want to catch Logan in the theater, if I can just get motivated to do so before it leaves, lol. I thought the GITS trailer looked good. I'm hoping it's at least decent. I watched The Lobster a couple nights ago. I wanted to like it, and I admit it was kind of interesting, but I felt the pacing was a little too slow and ultimately it left me dissatisfied. Clearly going for a Wes Anderson vibe, but didn't quite reach the mark for me.
It was good, I like the squash one quarrel and on to another, kind of mood. A lot of gun porn and gun tricks which if you watch his training video to prep for the movie you will understand why it look so goodWar Machine wrote:John Wick Chapter 2 is the one movie everyone must see. Better than the first. Excellent action scenes, great camera control, lots of gore, very unique stunts and effects, Neo and Morpheus... It set the bar so high, I don't think any other movie will beat it as best action movie for the rest of the year.
It is, and I really like The Flash. However, Legion is of a different sort. It doesn't feel like anything from the Arrowverse anyway. I think the cinematography is pretty interesting. The whole show has a fitting psychedelic theme that I really enjoy. The way they subvert the plot throughout the show is pretty interesting as well. I'd recommend that any fan of the genre check it out. At least watch a few episodes before you decide.War Machine wrote:Sell me on Legion. I've been thinking about watching it, but it's gotta be better than The Flash to get my attention.
It is pretty interesting alright, feels less like a x-men series more of a scary movie... I like it cause it is set in a time period that is kind of unknown (guessing 70's 80's) so x-men are in the first class stage, also answers the question of "what if a mutant had split personalities?", villain is cool you actually don't know who he is till episode seven, your not really sure what is going on so you have to keep watching, and probably some of the best cliffhangers since Lost (before the writers strike). And yes way better than Flash or Arrow or Supergirl or Gotham... The "unknown" aspect probably makes it better due to the fact that you don't come into it with pass knowledge of the characters, that and the way it is filmed seems like its more realistic... cinematography reminds me of Mr. Robot or something.Starnum wrote:It is, and I really like The Flash.

Yes best Wolverine movie, but I cant remember a better super hero film... Glad to see we can see eye to eye on something (skull Island)Starnum wrote:So I got around to seeing Logan. I thought it was pretty good. Still not the best super hero movie, IMO, but easily the best Wolverine film. It's also proof that any true Wolverine movie should be rated R. It just feels more real that way. It's hard to do gritty with a PG-13 rating. I also saw Skull Island and I agree with Sandman on that one. It was chalk-full of win, I loved it.
Black Mirror is a good watch, kind have got to be a techy to like it, so you can be like "that would be so cool!!" or "Fuck that" makes you think about here we are heading as a society. After the first episode it gets better... so don't let that deter you, its just showing you how fucked up it can getStarnum wrote:I started Why Him? but then had to do something else before I finished it. What I saw was alright. I like the actors, but they seem wasted on this title, if I'm to be honest. I'll have to finish it later before I can make any final judgments. Black Mirror is on my list of shows to watch. It looks like something I'd like.
that and you have to look past the British speak in it. Deadpool yes more Cable yes please an actual Phoenix Saga or portrayal that didn't suckStarnum wrote:Well I still like Deadpool a little more, but Logan is definitely up there as one of the best. About to watch the Legion season finale actually. So that's the thing that interest me about Black Mirror. I like seeing things with social commentary. I don't mind if it's fucked up, and accents don't bother me. I actually like when my entertainment is kind of dark or twisted. It suits my sense of humor. Why do you think I love Berserk so much!? Heh, as long as the writing is good, I'm down.
Legion season finale was awesome still liked the episode before with the chalk board... Yes Black Mirror you don't get the same thing twice, never the same actors, never the same theme, hour long episodes of fun you will look at the world a little differently great 3d effects and cinematography and slow mo; Scarlet was pretty good not great but still can pull off a robot human; they didn't stick to the anime story line but it was ok the subtle changes bugged me but not enough to ruin the movie... and Ewan McGregor is Batou.... at least I thought so till the credits rolled... all and all good movie but I watched it altered and in IMAX 3d so, I could have watched paint dry and been happy so
