Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is fantastic. I'd say it ties with the original for best Marvel movie, but Vol. 2 has a lot of emotional involvement in each character's arc. Michael Rooker should not make me cry, but he did.

There was flashes of Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer in that scene where he's staring at his reflection after laying some pipe, and he was the only one besides Laser Face's crew who started stacking bodies when he got a hold of his punk as gently caress mohawk. I liked they let you know his was the story to pay attention to by literally turning the other plot into a video game, complete with goony rear end kids sitting in an arcade, watching the action and keeping score.

Yeah, there's no denying he's great in Henry, but Yondu's story is much more emotionally gratifying instead of soul-crushing. I just really appreciate that they continued the character arc from the original that he's always been Quill's father figure, despite neither of them really wanting to admit it. I also liked how they incorporated his actual comic book background from the original original Guardians group. That and giving him and Rocket time to find empathy with each other, which helped them both admit who they are so they could fully realize what they have in their "family". One of the greatest compliments I can give to a movie is when they make me say "Please don't let that character die". To make that character Michael Rooker is insane.. All around great movie.

Hey y'all. If you wanted to see the film I co-wrote and co-directed, it can be seen here. Needs some sound mixing here and there, so if you wanted to toss some ideas my way, would be greatly appreciated.

"I'm Mary Poppins, Yo!" was such a great moment between Yondu and Star-Lord. I'm seeing it again on Sunday. Also, how do you top the "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" ending of the original? A hero's death and a viking's funeral with his new family and his old friends, set to Cat Stevens "Father and Son". drat. Just drat.

Father and son themes and plots are a guaranteed way to make me cry, and that ending hosed with me. "He may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy!" "In a way, my father wasHasselhoff." speech... drat.

I just got done watching Rogue One, it was good. It's all kinds of funny that none of the OT characters will ever know or care about anyone in R1, it's kinda refreshing for Star Wars. Also, good-guy terrorism in a Disney movie O___O

I need you to watch Wraith, because it's been on my netflix queue for awhile but I haven't watched it yet and would really like to know if it's any good. And if it's good, have someone to talk to about it after I watch it. edit: Also, I think one of the videos on New Retro Wave uses clips from Wraith, so I have a hunch it's awesome.

I mean, I feel like Wraith is the real solid underdog here, because The Crow is like, a big cult phenomenon with like 4(5?) sequels. And it's also just kind of mediocre. It came out at the perfect time for gothness, and the fact that someone loving died during it, is there a better subculture for that to happen in, in terms of cult status?

My movie watching has slowed because I'm going through new MST3K. Carnival Magic  ruddiger posted:Oprah/Michelle 2020 let's get it. Oprah would be great because the Republicans would have to just come out and say not to vote for her because she's a black woman. What are they going to do, denigrate her for being a TV personality or being rich? At least she hasn't run her company into the ground six times and actually has talent for something other than loving over people. Michelle Obama deserves better, though, especially after eight years of poo poo. Still, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat.

Egbert Souse posted:My movie watching has slowed because I'm going through new MST3K. Carnival Magic some bullshit bellyaching about her history with drugs probably. Like, if you're a black woman who had a less than perfect childhood, you're going to get a billion people "questioning" every poor decision you ever made. Even if the same sort of drug use (say, cocaine and heavy alcohol use while in college/adolescence at an ivy league school) would get a couple blinks and a "what does that have to do with anything" if you're a white guy. Actually, the most hilarious thing that would come up during a Trump/Oprah election is the fact that Oprah held an 80th birthday party for Maya Angelou at Mar-a-Lago. And all of the leftists (somewhat rightfully, but probably without tact) complaining about her advocation of bullshit like The Secret. edit: Michelle Obama is great but I would not wish a political career on her when she clearly, directly, and repeatedly states that she doesn't want one. Phil Donahue is still alive, and him and Oprah were both criticized for being anti-war during the advent of Iraq back in 2003/04. Or Jerry Springer, since he's an ex-pol den with a wide, fairly low-income audience base. DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 02:58 on May 6, 2017 |
