That's so weird. I cannot remember the last time I've seen a place that's sold caramel popcorn.

Holy poo poo. That's a terrible idea which is uncomfortable for all involved, shouldn't exist, and absolutely reeks of dated kitsch in a super tryhard way unique to dumb extreme marketing. It's like, the absolute perfect thing to tie in with the film. It almost brings a tear to my eye.

Is Jai Courtney really that awful? Honestly I've only seen him in two things: Spartacus where he was fine, and Suicide Squad where he was the least bad thing about that hot dogshit of a movie.

It's not so much that he's bad, it's that his screen credits make you wince. Suicide Squad, Genisys, I Frankenstein, A Good Day to Die Hard. Clearly somebody at the studio thinks he's bringing in a demo.

He was wonderful as a smug bad guy in the Divergent movies, but they killed him off in the second one. Truly a lovely series. Edit: His Australian accent in The Water Diviner also was top notch! Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Jan 23, 2017 |

Jai Courtney is the new Sam Worthington, except with even less star power. There is one Australian actor who doesn't deserve to be confined to dogshit films, and it's Joel Edgerton.

All my desire to watch Divergent comes from my love for Shailene Woodley, but the series definitely does not have her communing with forest creatures and consuming earth for power. Jai Courtney also not terrible as a villain in Jack Reacher.

i watched the latest RESIDENT EVIL 6: FINAL CHAPTER. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoXqGvMBko0 my memories of the previous non-final chapters are spotty because i only recall these 1 - Alice, portrayed by milla jovovich, wears a hot red dress and there's a laser corridor, some dumb mercenaries get murdered and it's actually somehow consistent with the game plot. she escapes an Umbrella Corp underground lab called the hive controlled by an AI in the form of a little girl hologram "Red Queen", then emerge at raccoon city 2 - raccoon city zombie shenanigans, i only remember it because the jill valentine actress is strangely on-point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLqa_f22wz8 but otherwise, the girl modeled by the Umbrella scientists for the Red Queen is part of the escape crew? Alice gets powers to control machines 3 - resident evil becomes brown instead of blue. the world is p dead by zombies. ali larter of heroes is a character. also, Alice has a ton of clones and 4 will be clones v zombies and i'm like ? ? ? ? ? wtf is even going on anymore with this stupid series 4 - the promised clones v zombies sequel hook ends with a nice wet fart, welp! i think they stopped bothering to use the zombie monsters from the games now? oh, there's still wesker, boring blonde shades-wearing villain of the game, to be boring. ali larter and alice fall off buildings shooting guns. 5 - by now it's obvious the zombies have become background threats and the whole thing is Alice v Umbrella Corp full time. starts off strong with a weird but kinda cool suburban vr set that Alice is trapped in. features Every Single Named Character from the game series. Ends with a fight in the white house. it's p bats! RESIDENT EVIL SIX THE FINAL CHAPTER is... uh, it's not great, it's competent and better than Underworld: Blood Wars, it does some really batty stuff and it could be More Fun but it's hindered by plot nonsense. it also retcons stuff and thankfully, it got rid of A poo poo LOAD of the dumbass plots from the previous chapters, which means (a) remember all those Every SIngle Named Character from the game series fighting in the white house? don't worry they all get killed offscreen before the opening credits even start, lol. also the opening credits still use early 2000s CG for the font graphics. (b) Alice no longer has crazy rear end superpowers, thank loving god (c) the dumbass plot of Alice's clone army is given a single scene throwaway this does not mean the clone plot is removed, it's just more batshit dumb however, because Mr Jovovich wrote and directed this movie, Alice is still OP af and even much more crazier powerful than Donnie Yen's character in Rogue One. The retcons make zero loving sense but who cares, it's a resident evil movie and you are here for the sweet human vs zombie action, so well there isn't much of those, i think there are some but milla is so powerful she kills off at least 2-5 boss monsters in the opening act alone. most of the action has this frantic, shaky cut every split second (especially the fist fights) and it gets p tiring after the 3rd or 4th, although fortunately the BIG BOSS fight scene is a lot better (Alice actually gets hurt really bad and the damage has impact, not like it makes a difference the immediate next scene). It's also in the laser room of 1! but not as cool. also, the zombies are actually used like bio weapons in that Umbrella Corp has tanks with live human baits, leading zombies to decimate survivor outposts. Which is a p cool concept i guess! Umbrella's mission is revealed in this movie and it's super loving dumb af they wanted to cause a biblical-scale apocalypse to wipe out humanity so umbrella corp top mgmt can be awakened in time to repopulate the world in their image, which is why zombies this movie is v long, covering five acts - opening act in destroyed washington DC - umbrella tanks revealed - survivor fort defence - The Hive (return to the setting of movie one) - neopaganistic mother maiden crone symbology, final fight in the Hive, conclusion (my date fell asleep in act 3, arguably the worst) do i recommend this film? i dunno, i thought it was fine but i wouldn't really say it's memorable. it seemed to lack the necessary punch or delicious dumb stuff like the suburban vr stuff in 5 or even the laser room fight of 1. also alice doesn't die because "we decided to tell you you'd die, because we wanted to know how cool and good a person you are and whether you'd sacrifice yourself for humanity, this plan has no flaws at all, and also we're just really cruel loving assholes" so i doubt this is as FINAL as it is unless milla jovovich is sick of doing these movies tbf the production of this movie got one person killed and jovovich's stuntwoman into a 2 week coma then her left arm amputated, so i don't really blame her or Mr Jovovich if they want to stop making this series, just sayin' The Saddest Rhino fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Jan 23, 2017 |

Ever since I saw the first Divergent movie I have loved to hate them. They're terrible and I went to see them in the theatre because they are terrible. When I say that Jai Courtney is "wonderful" in those movies that's because his character delights in being the bad dude among all the mopey, overdramatic characters the movies offer. Want a good young adult series? Watch The Hunger Games. Want a young adult series to watch with friends and crack jokes about? Watch the Divergent trilogy.

I feel like there was a time and place for the Resident Evil movies, and that was before total ubiquity of Netflix, and a guaranteed watchable movie coming Disney/Marvel every 4 months.

Divergent is basically porn for those people who think the rest of the world is populated by card board cutouts.

You've literally only seen him when he's been good. Throw in Jack Reacher and that's all of them. The problem is when he's slotted into these bland hero roles. He's just not an interesting enough actor to take boring material and make it good.

Watch A Good Day to Die Hard and have your mind changed. Or alternatively, don't watch that movie because it was genuinely astonishingly terrible.

Given the success of Underworld and Resident Evil, I wonder how well the Matrix series would have done if they had just started pumping out steadily dumber sequels instead of stopping after two.

I'll be seeing Resident Evil this week because you have to see a movie like that in a month like January, ya know. BTW there is actually a Resident Evil thread in CD if you feel like revisiting the entire series after this grande finale: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3761657&perpage=40

Beachcomber posted:I liked 5 because the plot only seemed to exist to connect a series of i think they spend a bit too long, perhaps? i rechecked the length of the movie - it's only 106 minutes but it feels longer because of the 5-act structure. the final Hive setpiece is probably the best although the tanks are not bad. i thought the 3rd act's fortress (a half-destroyed skyscraper) was barely visible due to how dark and blue that part of the film was, but there was a kickass flaming torrents thrown at the zombiesscene. also if you were asking "what about the supporting cast" all save one get killed so don't bother!
