I just bought a year-long cinema pass. I live 5 minutes from the cinema. I'm going to be seeing a lot of movies this year, and I'm excited to share the best and worst with my pals in CineD.

Henker posted: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. Suicide Squad was dreadful but a couple of Courtney's scenes actually got a chuckle out of me, especially when Rick Flag says they're free to go and Captain Boomerang immediately peaces the gently caress out.

Suicide Squad was terrible, but I'd probably be into a Captain Boomerang spinoff.

well why not posted:I just bought a year-long cinema pass. I live 5 minutes from the cinema.

I've had a similar thing going on for the past 3 years and I've yet to walk out of a movie. It's amazing what you can stomach when time is the only thing you are spending. I'm sure the cinema would appreciate it if once in a while I bought some popcorn to go along with my ticket stub, but I usually just eat somewhere before/after the movie.

TF2 HAT MINING RIG posted: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. If the films had come out six or seven years later, we'd be talking about how Matrix 8 was a return to form for the series.

Well, we got Equilibrium, Ultraviolet, Gamer, and The Thirteenth Floor, so technically we are living in that alternate reality.

I do love how in the intro to RE3 they tell you all the oceans dried up for 'reasons' but they completely ignore that kind of important plot point for all future films in the series.

Plus that whole plot point was moot because that one takes place in Las Vegas so it's already in the desert

Suicide Squad had a guy whose gimmick was throwing things, then in the big finale someone else was the guy who threw the important thing that needed to be thrown. That's the movie in a nutshell, all the entertaining bits were in spite of everything else and it was still miles ahead of the rest of the murderverse.

I wouldn't say Captain Boomerang's gimmick was throwing things, that's just his name. I know nothing of the comics but in the film I got the impression his sole gimmick was "robs banks, is Australian".

My Suicide Squad complaint is pretty minor, but I think it'd have been much more effective to switch around the bomb and the Diablo reveal. Bomb fails, then Diablo saves the day with his crazy also-a-god powers. Because as it stands, the sequence is 'Whoa, Diablo was also a god all along! Seriously though guys, let's get that bomb set up..

Captain Boomerang's gimmick is that he's exactly as useless as Slipknot, just not as stupid. He's explicitly a useless, lovely character who isn't even a good, petty super-criminal. He is, subsequently, the closest the film gives us to a 'tragic' figure. When he's returned to solitary confinement at the end, it really is kind of sad.

I read a quote here once about a poster who admired the audacity of a guy who comes across the fastest person in the universe, a man so fast that his sheer speed can tear holes in the fabric of reality by accident, who then says to himself "I'm going to throw a boomerang at him" and proceeds to do so for over 50 years.

how often would Flash have to do that to him that he'd would think "wait if only I could train myself to contort my body properly..."

Audacity is the perfect word for flash villains. The Flash has a villain named The Top. He spins. He spins so fast, that one time, he completely rearranged his DNA and became a different person. He has no superpowers or technology. He just spins.

The Rogues are cool because they team up and have a code/standards, they even reject other villains lording over them like when the crime syndicate took over the planet. They are more memorable than the usual non-Batman villains, I don't even care about Flash in the comics but when they show up they can be better done than a lot of heroes comics. They are certainly more creative than "evil flash"

Which famous ape movie gets remade next? If you had Every Which Way But Loose, be sure to mark your bingo square!quote:It was the 1978 Clint Eastwood comedy that everyone loved to hate and hated to love, but it ended up making $95M and spawned a sequel. Now Every Which Way but Loose is being remade, and James Fargo, who directed the first film, and is now producing. He just tapped Anthony Cohen to direct. http://deadline.com/2017/01/every-which-way-but-loose-remake-anthony-cohen-director-1201892331/ Yes!
