Cloud Atlas is great because it was hugely ambitious and fresh. It's awful because of some really tone-deaf ethnicity portrayals with awful makeup and some passages that are bafflingly poorly written. It's something I tremendously enjoyed watching but I doubt I'll ever do so again.

The weird future speak in the Tom Hanks sections is definitely the most common complaint about the movie. Most people hate those scenes.

Man I love those scenes. I could listen to Tom Hanks talk about the true-true all day

The future-future sections of the book are almost completely unreadable. Almost as bad as the old-English sections. I was very happy I read that book on my kindle with the built-in dictionary.

I hate Shaq because he stole a TV show idea from a teammate and is generally an oversensitive baby. The Rock, though, is too good for our world.

It really is a shame he chose to be Black Adam instead of Shazam, although I see why he did it.

Anything that's got scifi or fantasy elements, because those are the projects he loves. The Last Witch Hunter came out recently, I don't think it's on streaming yet and it's terribad good. Definitely watch the rest of the Riddick movies, although the one with the Necromorphs was kinda bad. Guardians of the Galaxy, The Iron Giant, Knockaround Guys, Strays, Boiler Room, Find Me Guilty..

If you have HBO streaming you can watch one of the Fast and Furious movies. XXX is on Netflix if you want the most Generic Vin Diesel Action Film possible.

He's really fun in anything where he can act like a guido criminal or something, his generic action stuff is - generic. I skipped over Fast and Furious for a reason, although the first one is definitely worth a watch.

Hmm I just watched 30 for 30: This Magic Moment and I changed my mind about Shaq again. It's entertaining, as just about every 30 for 30 is.

So you just suggest movies, regardless if they're on streaming or not?

OP - You can find Riddick on HBO GO if you have it. Otherwise the Dieselverse is rather lacking streaming wise at this point.

Both Pitch Black sequels are well worth a watch, I reckon Chronicles of Riddick is seriously underrated. Fast Five is the pick of the Furious series imo.
If you prefer Vin as a bit of background flavour, you can't go far wrong with Guardians of the Galaxy and Saving Private Ryan.

These are all on Netflix (with a bit of gentle region manipulation).

What still works for that? My VPN doesn't deliver foreign Netflix anymore.

And if you haven't seen Chronicles of Riddick, get the director's cut. It fleshes out the story a lot more. I actually genuinely like the movie and don't understand the hate it gets. It's an original IP with enjoyable performances and epic scale.

Smartflix has a 7-day free trial. It's a pretty great little program, I'm tempted to drop the $40 for a year's subscription.

I was using Overplay SmartDNS, Netflix started disrupting them a bit so I swapped to ViperDNS. Under $2 a month, and it's just a DNS swap so no bandwidth issues. Instant region switching via their website.

The Burbs is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. The Money Pit was also funny, but I haven't watched it more than a couple times.

Of course I'm also the weird one who thoroughly enjoyed Joe vs. the Volcano so I'm clearly insane.
