I'm admittedly not a terminator aficionado and I haven't seen the old ones in a while but I am so loving confused by the timeline in Genisys. Like, have I forgotten a lot of stuff or is this movie not supposed to make any sense whatsoever at the beginning?

It assumes you have a passing familiarity with the first two movies and then uses that knowledge to disorient you, which is the subjective experience of the characters.

The Terminator series is infinite timelines, so the one we're seeing in Genisys just happens to have two leads with no charisma and the Terminator is 70 years old.

Nah, it's pretty good, though perhaps not as good as two absolute classics. It's a continuation of an upward bend in the franchise after the absolute nadir of the third.

It has its moments, but not enough of them and the casting was terrible.

I may have benefited going in with so low of expectations for Jai Courtney and Emilia Clarke that I was actually pleasantly surprised, but I thought they were fine. That latter's princess routine actually fits with her having been pampered her whole life by robot superdad as compared to the original Sarah Connor.

As far as I know there's not much else to do other than use things like instantwatcher and canistreamit but those aren't much better than just manually browsing anyway. Though I do think Prime tends to do a better job of recommending me things based on my viewing history.

Genisys is better then Batman V Superman but not as good as any new Transformers movie which in turn is worse then any movie.

coyo7e posted:I convinced my roommate to watch Valhalla Rising because he likes Italian movies with lots of weird subtexts and lighting and camera shots and stuff, but he got really, really weirded out by the one dude that got high and raped a dude, and refused to finish watching. I'd totally forgotten that scene was even in the movie. That part is in a fairly long montage where everyone is tripping out so I can see how it's easy to forget. The standout stuff to me was the entire sequence on the ship. Just fantastic. After having seen it, I wonder if Hideo Kojima was doing a little Refn love letter with The Phantom Pain.

Kojima and Refn apparently just hang out when they're in the same general location. It's pretty awesome.

Goon is fantastic! It's such a basic theme that's executed really well and straight forward. It's nice not having out of nowhere plot twists and such occasionally.

Goon also has a refreshing break from most sports movies by having the antagonist just be 'that guy who is a good at his job but on the other team' and not be a raging rear end in a top hat or actual villain.

Kill Your Darlings on Crackle; 2013 true story where Daniel Radcliffe plays Allen Ginsberg, and shows the early days of Burroughs, Ginsberg and Kerouac in which one of their friends commits murder. It's actually quite great, so if Crackle's ads bother you then consider dropping $3 to watch it somewhere else.

The Invitation was great. Suspense thriller with a slow burn that managed to keep me engaged. I normally hate slow burn movies... I'm all about "JUST GET TO THE CRAP THAT HAPPENS!" but this one was great. It's a thinker. Great. And They're Watching was loads of fun. It was everything you suspect from a found footage movie, including gaping holes in logic and predictable stupid crap, but drat it was fun.

They're Watching certainly was fun but it mostly felt like a 10-minute special effects reel padded out to feature length, I feel like it would've worked a lot better at half the running time

Amazon Prime just put up something called "Rednex: The Movie." It sadly does not appear to answer the questions of where Cotton-Eye Joe came from or where went.

"Cottoneye Joe" is a cautionary tale about mixing ecstasy with being a European techno band.

I enjoyed "A Kidnapping". Not so much with The Wave. I mean I get the story, but as soon as boss says, "you want to cause a panic during tourist season?" it became Jaws: The Rock/Tidal Wave version.
