What's the latest movie you've seen?

[neatoman]

Us, Pretty damn good but the final twist was a little too easy to predict.

[Shookie]

My favorite movie of all time: Snatch from 2000. Seen it 50+ times, but oh well...

I haven't seen that movie in years, but I liked it.

[Candy Kappa]

Finally got to see Captain Marvel. I loved it, such a great feel good movie with kick ass action.

[DarkFell]

I finally got to see Aqua Man this weekend.

[Autbot_Benz]

Watched Bumblebee holy **** this movie is perfect. The Cybertron scenes were fantastic. Also the earth story was good too. Removing the Cancer that was Micheal Bay was the right thing to do. Loved everything about this movie holy ****.

[Voltron]

I saw Captain Marvel.

I shouldn't have, though. I went despite the numerous warnings from people in-the-know, and now I'm paying the price.

You see, as many of you know, Captain Marvel is a woman. And not just any woman. A strong woman. And despite my best attempts to objectify her, she still managed to steal the show.

And that's when it happened. . .

My peepee fell off.

Laugh if you must! I know the ultra-masculine and not-at-all insecure protesters will do the "I Told Ya So" dance. . . but I have no one to blame but myself. . . and Obama, since I can't handle any actual personal responsibility. So just Obama.

It happened at around the 47 minute mark, if anyone's curious.

And despite this, I didn't immediately leave the theater. I just preserved my detached appendage in the left over ice from my coke.

Does anyone know a good surgeon?

Sure you didn't just fall asleep and dreamt everything from that point on? I didn't fall asleep by that point but I was thinking:
"I wonder if these nachos count as my lunch? I don't really feel like cooking something when I get home, my kitchen is a mess. But I don't really feel like cleaning up there either, and I got to take my daily powerwalk as well. I wonder what I'll do for income this summer? I was thinking about studying but I don't want to waste my student sudsidies on the summer. Where am I again? Oh right, a movie theatre... Is Shazam out yet?".

[ZariusTwo]

And that's when it happened.

That's a relief. Most Captain Marvel fans are complete d*cks anyway

(love you man)

[neatoman]

Shazam. I didn't think I was expecting superhero movie with so little superheroing but that's what I got. For the most part it's a comedy about a kid in a grown man's body, which to be fair, is what the trailers sold it as. It's not bad as a comedy by any means and it's also pretty good when it remembers to be a superhero movie, it's just that I thought the trailers were simply playing up the comedy for marketing.

Also, Darla is cute, best sister by far.

[Leo656]

Bummer. I really liked the stuff in the trailers that actually focuses on the super-hero stuff. I was hoping for a lot more of that.

I'm sure I won't hate it, but it definitely doesn't sound like the movie I would have preferred. Ah well.

[Candy Kappa]

Day of the Dead: Bloodline.
Remake of the 85 movie. It was okay, although a bit weird having the sentient zombie being a creepy stalker in life that tried to rape protagonist right before the zombiepokalypse.

Rewatched Man of Steel.
Big mistake, it was a lot worse then I remember. Still scenes I like a lot, like Superman first flight and Zod doffing his armor and starts to levitate.

But the plot, the codex business and all the weird choices.

At least Cavill is charming enough (when he's allowed to be) that you almost forget he's wearing the ugliest Superman costume.

And that World Engine. It's almost a robotic creature with its tentacle defense system, it almost looks like it got long legs. Is this the Mechanical Spider they wanted in Superman Lives but ended up in Wil Wil West with Will Smith? Or am I overthinking it

Rewatched Rage.
Nick Cage doing a sad Taken riff. I only recognized I've seen the movie before when the twist ending came, it's not really that good but entertaining enough.

[Leo656]

Over-thinking it. It was clearly inspired by the various Kryptonian ships and tech from John Byrne's relaunch. Everything Kryptonian as far as the ships and technology was a hybrid of Byrne and Mike Turner's designs.

Since you asked.

[Candy Kappa]

Guess I can see some Byrne influence, donno about Turner as I've avoided reading stuff with his art. Although, the MoS designers gotta have taken a page from Giger with those dildo shaped Phantom Zone capsules Zod and Co was trapped in. Completely forgot about those and nearly choked on my soda seeing them

[Leo656]

A very curious design choice indeed. I confess I didn't catch it the first time, somehow.

Interesting. Any particular reason regarding Turner? His stuff was a bit too "pin-up" but I thought it was okay. I liked "Godfall".

Most of what MoS borrowed from him was the Kryptonian armor aesthetic. There's much better examples but this was all I could grab on short notice:


Again, not the best example but I only had a minute, sorry.

His art was a bit too "what if Liefeld's art style and J Scott Campbell's art style had a baby" for my taste.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Dead in a Week (or Your Money Back)

Weird little gem on Netflix. Stellar cast. Really, really enjoyed it. Depressing little comedy.

Reminded me of a certain buddy of mine. Not sure that's a good thing?

[newfan]

Just finishing up The Hitman's Bodyguard. Makes a change from my usual selection but entertained so far. I often like Samuel L Jackson in his roles though, Reynolds too.

[neatoman]

Pet Sematary, the new one. Pretty scary but the ending is fairly anti-climactic.

Wow, that's extremely mean. Mike's art was definitely "stiff" (hence what I refer to as being overly "pin-up"), but at least he had a basic grasp of proportion and body structure.

I'm neutral on Campbell, but Liefeld is like, the anti-christ of "professional" art. I'd never lump anyone in with THAT guy unless they personally done me wrong somehow, like if they owed me money or something.

Almost forgot, finally saw Aquaman. Very good. Could'a used more Black Manta.

The entire "jump out of a plane into a desert, and OH, we're going into the desert and we're not sure how long we're gonna be gone or even if we'll find what we're looking for, but let's not bother bringing even a canteen or anything, it's JUST the Sahara after all, I'm sure we'll immediately find what we're looking for through the magic of Contrivance and definitely not die of exposure and severe dehydration" thing was f*cking bananas. Easily the most contrived nonsense I've seen in any film for a long time, but it only really jumped out because the rest of the movie was so tight.

The action scenes and especially the fight scenes were great. At times there was serious Exposition Overload and long stretches of people talking to each other but I guess that was pretty unavoidable. It was more violent than I was expecting. Altogether, I didn't find it to be the revelation some people apparently did, but it was an easy A. For whatever it's worth, I don't think anyone could make a better Aquaman movie than that one.
