What Movies Are We Watching: The Flickening.

[False Son]

Birdman.

Fun parallels with Michael Keaton's own career.  I wonder if the LA/NYC, Hollywood/Broadway cultural divide is as intense as depicted.

[Aokarasu]

"Chappie." Definitely worth a watch.

[garhkal]

"Necessary Roughness" for the umpteenth time. Still a fun movie, and Kathy Ireland is in it, to boot!

That always made me wonder why MORE US Football teams didn't grab a soccer player for their field goal kicker spot!

Watching Wing Commander. Nice space battle shots, but really nothing else.

That's the movie with the main character my wife sarcastically labeled "Emotion Boy" because regardless of what's happening in the scene his expression never changes.  ;D

Wing commander could have been a LOT better.

Personally i wouldn't mind them rebooting THAT series.

As someone who has loved the series since WC2, I kind of have to agree.
The movie itself I don't like, but if they ever decided to reboot the entire title I wouldn't cry.
Honestly I think Privateer should have gotten more love, that would have been a fun spin off series to make a movie for.
No I don't mean Privateer 2, even though that was mostly movie with some video game aspects.  :P

Dull surprise, or as Rifftrax put it, "this face intentionally left blank."

At Noon on the 8th of August I will be watching SyFys "Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf".

I am assuming that it will be gloriously, amusingly bad like the first two "Sharktopus" movies.

 >:D O:-)

[elf25s]

my youngest who is about to turn two decided all of us will be watching guardians of the galaxy...
hell has no fury like scorned or ignored 2 year old she sat us down told us to watch it..and gads above and below help you if you need to go to the bathroom...
she just wants all of us to watch it with her...and yes she watches it to the end

It was not as entertaining as the others were. I'm not sure what the difference was, but I found myself being bored with it.
That's not something a creature feature movie should ever do!

The space battles in Wing Commander were great but that was about it. The story was dumb, acting was worse, and if you didn't know a darn thing about Wing Commander anything it was horrible.

Just re-watched Xmen Days of future past.  Still left with some questions..

1) When styker fished logan out of the Patomic, how did he know he was down there, and why didn't logan die from drowning?
2) How did trask get ahold of all those mutants he had experimented on after Cuba
3) Why is it when logan 'woke up' he didn't remember anything till that time (which actually looked more like close to the end of X3 with how old Bobby and Rogue looked)..?
And lastly..  How did both Scott and Jean get brought back to life?   Did the events of X3 also get erased?

[elf25s]

moon over parador
tichard dryfus and raul julia are hilarious and play off each other in very rare way and lets not forget johnathan winters as cia contact lol

Plot hole.

2) How did trask get ahold of all those mutants he had experimented on after Cuba

He found them hanging out at a 7-11.

3) Why is it when logan 'woke up' he didn't remember anything till that time (which actually looked more like close to the end of X3 with how old Bobby and Rogue looked)..?

History was changed, while Logan remembered the world as it had been before he time-traveled.  Quite likely, none of the events of the previous X-Men movies occurred due to changing the past (at the very least, Mystique never joined with Magneto and the Brotherhood).

"Fury" - a very intense movie. In some ways, not a typical Hollywood movie.

Fury was a intense movie. Not you standard glory WW2 movie. The fight between Fury and the Tiger at the end was great. I remember seeing the making of the movie and that shot, how they had to modifiy a APC to become the Tiger.

Transformers: Age of Extinction.  Great googly moogly, I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be painful.

Expendables 3. Not a good movie but still entertaining.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Bay really seems to be in a competition with himself to see how much worse each subsequent Transformers title is compared to the last.

According to what I read, the Tiger they fight where it wipes out the other 3 Shermans was the only operational Tiger I tank. It's also the only authentic Tiger tank used in any movie.

Yet he still rakes in millions upon millions of dollars in profits. He's a genius or a madman... or both.  The man produces the kind of drek the masses apparently want to see.

What of the 2 Wolverine movies themselves?  Did they also get 'errased'?

What about it did you find so bad?

Wolverine probably still has his metal claws and skeleton, but I wouldn't be surprised if the events of either of them played out differently in the new timeline.

What about it did you find so bad?

Well, there was the ultra-elite anti-Cybertronian squad that was able to take on 4 million year old warriors and kill them with no casualties, there was the way said 4 million year old warriors rolled over and begged for mercy without much of a fight, there was the angry anti-hero version of Optimus Prime, there was the way the Dinobots were heavily marketed yet barely showed up in the movie (and served more as glorified mounts than actual characters)...

[Cache]

I honestly can't think of a part that I didn't find to be bad.  I watch Pixar and (new) Disney movies with my kids all the time and love them.  Those are written for the whole family and contain interesting/witty dialog plus humor for adults and children.  In my opinion, Bay makes the TF movies only for children... young children.  There isn't an ounce of intelligent dialog or action that I can remember.  It's big explodey things, adults saying things that young children think adults say, and a scene specifically staged to explain Texas' "Romeo and Juliet" law... which is kind of creepy considering the target audience.

I just remember watching some "making of Fury" TV show. They modified some APC to use at the Tiger. But reading more about it. That was the last working Tiger.

On the Anti-TF squad, it was to ME not strange they didn't fight back (well ratchet at least) as Prime in the 3 other movies kept harping on that "we don't harm humans" angle AND rachet is a medic.

[elf25s]

something i had not seen since i used to live in europe
la linea
a bunch of animated shorts that rally have to be watched to be appreciated

The "we don't harm humans" was from when the humans weren't attacking them.  In other media the Transformers have had no problems fighting back against humans who were attacking them, even using lethal force in a few instances.

I don't remember that many incidences in the comics where autobots used force let alone lethal force against humans..

There weren't many, but they did happen a couple of times.  It was a bit more prevalent in IDW's run before the story permanently abandoned Earth, since there was an entire arc where the humans turned out to be the bad guys who were trying to reverse engineer Cybertronian tech.  Jazz shot and killed a human who was trying to kill Bumblebee, for one.  He got in trouble for it, but even Prime agreed that it was ultimately a necessary action.
