Gripweed posted:Was Logan that mature? He fights an evil clone of himself. It seemed to me like a regular comic book movie but sad But, you see, there is blood and Charlie Xavier says “gently caress”, which means it is mature and for a higher class of people than your regular card schlock, apparently

People were absolutely going in on the hardsell that Logan was different, mature, maybe even more a western than a cape movie. You people forget so fast.

logan talks about shooting himself in the head with an adamantium bullet to commit suicide bc he's tired of living. the trio have dinner on a farm with strangers and reminisce about the old times and have a moment of somber, happy reflection, amidst the chaos of the movie's events. charles gives an emotionally heavy confession about the wrongs he's committed right before getting claws through the chest and dies there's more about the movie that's mature than the characters saying "gently caress." which, btw, is still a satisfying way to experience these characters behaving considering the circumstances, setting, and what we've been told to believe about them over two decades of seeing them be PG in movies. it's not a god drat masterpiece but it's still a good movie that we should all be happy exists in the same climate as, like, the loving flash and thor love and thunder lol

Logan was pretty good up until the clone bullshit, that was lame. Shoulda been Liev Schreiber as the big bad instead.

My toddler can do about 40 minutes before he gets bored of movies. Sometimes a bit longer if there are dragons or monsters. I think we’re on session 4 of trying to finish Spirited Away. It’s not an ideal way to watch movies but 🤷🏼♂️ My teenager basically refuses to watch movies so I guess it’s something.

Failed Imagineer posted:There has never been a single movie released that's worth that. hah well to be fair it's also about getting away with my wife for a few hours without kids. So that's definitely worth it! And that price generally includes food and drinks at the Alamo. $120 babysitter (we use a service so we're paying the service and the sitter). $35 for tickets $100-ish for food and drinks for two.

It's the drinks more than anything (I'm talking alcohol - not coke) Popcorn - $10 Two food dishes (2 x $15) - $30 Four drinks total (4 x $10 average - I get beer my wife will get cocktails) - $40 And then $20 tip on top of that.

The bad guy with the robot hand in Logan is cast as an evil shitheel in everything else I've seen him in, which is just Sandman and Dial of Destiny. Guess he just has one of those faces.

But I thought the movie would have come full circle if the big bad at the end was comic-style Wolverine in the classic costume. Logan having to fight his idealized replacement, him against the manifestation of his legacy, while his daughter (who was disappointed that the real man wasn't the same as the character from the comic books she'd read) watched on. What we got was super bland.

All comic book movies should be in black & white, like early Judge Dredd comics. The only one that should be in color is the hypothetical adaptation of the Judge Dredd storyline where he gets hit on the head and dreams he’s in The Wizard Of Oz, which announced the strip’s movie into full color.

The clone stuff in Logan was good, and would become prescient of the state of all the AI and how it would be used on The Flash.

Yeah it wasn't so much the song itself as the meaningful eye-contact with the sex-worker lady at the same time. A real "subtext is for cowards" moment. Every scene with the two of them I kept hoping they would re-enact the How Can She Slap video

I'm just frustrated with how much you're ignoring the wider point because you don't like it. The Dark Knight is a very goofy film with it's plot contrivances and hilarious lines, but it's a lot more mature and adult than the previous years Ghost Rider and Fantastic Four. Logan's place in the superhero canon is why people called it mature or whatever.

They made exactly one comic book for adults, it was called Mystery Men and it kicked rear end but made no money so from that point on they exclusively made comic book movies for children.
