What's the latest movie you've seen?

[Candy Kappa]

Just saw Johantan Liebsman's magnum opus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Did not like it.

[Hannurdock]

Authors Anonymous on Netflix. It was okay, typical drama romcom type thing.

[Icebot]

Just saw Top Gun.

[Slade]

Took the boy to see Big Hero 6. It was good.

It felt super-lazy, and I'm not surprised that everyone mutually decided after the third one that the franchise needed a break. It wasn't a bad movie, and it had its moments, but it's 100% unnecessary, completely tacked-on, and was only made to show off.

I also can't quite get how they all end with showing some totally unencumbered flying dinosaurs, and they play this super-uplifting music, as if it wasn't a complete horror show. That right there is a Doomsday Scenario, folks. You have genetically-engineered giant lizard/frogs who can switch genders and reproduce regardless of environment, it's been proven that you cannot contain them, and by the end of the second one, we know they have no problem tearing up a heavily-populated area. So why the F'n super-triumphant music at the end of the movies, when the score from Terminator 2 would be infinitely more appropriate? The very fact that these things exist should mean that the human race is literally on borrowed time. That's why the upcoming fourth movie troubles me; if it's anything other than, basically, a Godzilla movie on steroids, there's no realistic point in making it. The only natural conclusion of the Jurassic Park storyline is that dinosaurs exterminate humanity and reclaim the planet. Nothing else CAN happen, realistically, other than dropping a nuke on the island(s) and causing a whole new list of problems.

I liked them overall, though. They're definitely well-made, but you could easily only watch the first one and get all you need from the franchise, in my opinion. II and III are skippable, in my opinion. Not bad, but not necessary.

I feel ya on the 3rd one. It's a bit of a mess when it comes to trying to remember it. The second was kinda neat, although I found it hilarious that the one gymnast chick used gymnastics to defeat a Raptor because why not.
Anyway saw Machete. It's so ridiculous it's awesome. Plus Jessica Alba and pre-breakdown Lindsay Lohan showing off their rocking...abs

[TonySiegel]

Interstellar...

the music was awesome... the ending got shaky for me... movie was great though...

nolan has redeemed himself after dark knight rises with this one...

[TonySiegel]

Also re watched Guardians of the Galaxy...

Lloyd Kaufman's cameo made me chuckle... still hate the ending... can't wait for part 2...

[TheCanadiandrome]

Dumb and Dumber To! i liked it better than the first movie. too me there was more plot

[Jester]

Zombeavers. The 2nd most creepy beaver related piece of media I've watched recently.

[pennydreadful]

You have no idea how hard it was for me to resist making an on-the-nose (and totally obvious) beaver movie joke there.

I restrained myself - I can be a grown-up sometimes!

[Jester]

One of the best bits from that movie, for me anyway, was the TMNT "joke"...

[Leo656]

Aww yeah. It's all great, though. Emilio is The Greatest Of All Time.

"Oh... I'm just going for one of those, unmotivated, 'Butt-In-The-Moonbeam' Walks..."

[Jester]

Yeah, one of the good spoof movies. I was surprised, actually.

[Leo656]

Back then, people spoofed Good movies that everyone had seen and loved. Now, they do "spoof" movies of garbage that nobody sees anyway. It's a dead genre, sadly.

[Jester]

The last one I even remotely liked was Superhero Movies.

[Leo656]

Yeah I think the last one of those I even saw was Scary Movie 3, and while it was better than 2, that wasn't saying much. First one was OK.

We've fallen pretty f*ckin' far from Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux, that's fo' sho'.

[raph27]

Saw Mockingjay part one last night. Pretty dang good, even though the pacing seemed a little off. Still great.

I think the 90's were the most self aware decade ever when it came to movies. Which is why I think spoofs were so damn good during that time. Now? not so much.
