5/8
What if you had never read the book and you just watching the movie?
 
Had five armies on just to have something on in the background while I was doing other crap..

I literally can't remember anything memorable about the other movies.. I know I saw the first two.. Can't remember if there are 3 or 4 movies
 
Togetherness is back.

HBO + Duplass = greatness

If you guys haven't seen The One I Love, you don't know what you are missing.
 
I watched the entire first season of Togetherness & it was whatever.

Filler TV for me.

I just liked seeing shorty from Saving Silverman bust her tatas out :lol:

I used to have a huge crush on her in that movie.
 
For those that have seen The Witch, how scary is it?
it's incredibly realistic , as far as scary , not really scary ...but superbly made film..it builds a lot of tension and theres of course some pretty chilling scenes though .

Really? Yea I really like Duplass so that's a plus. I liked the story too. Very relatable.
 
Deadpool

Like anyone else, I was wondering if they could pull this off. R rated, Reynolds as the main star, budget, villain + added characters, story, action, CGI, etc. I had no idea if they would be able to pull it off to the level of the other CBM’s of today.

During the opening credits, I was already laughing. The opening shot, already had the crowd going. The original scene they used to gain the funding was tweaked, but worked perfectly for what they were goin for. I was in. And by the time it wrapped, and I waited for the after credit scene, I can’t wait for the sequel.

I remember thinking Reynolds was one of the only good parts of Wolverine Origins, but they of course gave him 5 minutes of shine, then that abomination of Mutant X. But his mouth runnin the whole time and his skills with the swords showed he could be cool if they could do that for 2 hours.

They did. He did. And I hope they do it again and again.

They did have a “thin” cast, with the CGI Colossus, and the weird girl who I have no idea who she is, but DP clearly eased everyone off that worry with his jokes about them being the only 2, and the studio was too cheap to pay for a 3rd, etc. :lol:

If you don’t know much about the source material, you could still love the film, and jump into his world easy, and if you did know the comics themselves, you could appreciate his effort at making the Merc with the mouth so damn mouthy. Crude as hell, but he nailed it like he was Van Wilder the Ninja years or something. :lol: I was surprised to see Barbara from Gotham as his girl, but she played the part well enough. Gina was eh, the main villain was decent, but not sure how memorable he’ll be, it really came down to all Reynolds, all the time. He dominates the screen the whole time, even with voice monologues and wisecracks off screen. But he was enthralling. He was literally the perfect Deadpool. I can’t imagine anyone else that coulda pulled him off.

There were soooooo many quotables, it would take multiple viewings to get thru them all. Some of my favs that I caught were the Stewart or McAvoy reference, the Jackman quips, the middle finger, the whispering to the cab driver, the hero speech near the end he ignores ( :lol: ) the “have you seen this man?” and it’s a damn crayon drawing :rofl: :rofl: the bullet countdown and him wasting a couple “worth it” and those are just the ones I could pick up and retain quickly. He was firin them off one after another.

I don’t see how they can cross him over later. He can’t show up in a regular X-Men movie and not cause problems script wise. He would be calling Mystique J-Law, or hey #2 Magneto, or I loved you in Prisoners, etc. He would be neutered in other films. Our best bet is cameo’s in his franchise where the rules are clearly set differently and we understand to expect the humorous side of his stories. That won’t work in the more “serious” films.

I don’t know where it will stack up with all the others, they are so different in terms of a dark tone like TDK or Winter Soldier vs a slapstick version like this. In terms of just origin films, this is way up there for what the actual character is supposed to be portrayed as. There’s holes, it’s not a terribly deep film, and he is pretty much the only memorable performance and everyone else is kinda meh level, but he carries it so damn well. RDJ nailed Iron Man, and was great in his first movie, but I’m not sure he outperforms what Reynolds just pulled off. (also not sure it’s fair to compare when they are so different in what their end goal was)

I need another watch or two to pull everything in, but I loved my initial viewing and have high hopes for where they go next. I’m really glad everyone else has been positive with it, tho I know that will change over time. Curious what they’ll do with a bigger budget going forward. Hope they don’t get too crazy and go over the top and lose sight of what they could do with 3-4 films total and make this franchise a really huge deal. I kinda wonder if they try to “cure” his look so he can be just regular Ryan again and move around without his mask and what not. That seems like something they would try to force in so he can get screen time without the mask and not do crazy makeup and what not for those scenes. We’ll see.

7/8

The Witch was pretty ******* awesome. Not really scary but creepy as hell through out. The music, cinematography, and mood were on point and the girl who played Thomasin was fantastic.

7.5/8
 
don't like the copious filler in the LOTR and hobbit movies but they were enjoyable enough for me. watched the extended LOTR trilogy and the next day i felt like i had a hangover :lol: (i don't drink).

side note: new zealander NT'er worked on the hobbit cgi :pimp:
planet of the apes too.
