I will concede I'm in the minority of people who liked it.

it's not a bad movie (there are in fact some amazing scenes in it) but it is an absolute mess and the creature effects are real loving bad.

I think I went in with such super low expectations that I liked it. I loving hated Prometheus but this was way better as far as I'm concerned. The dialogue was really bad in most places but the action was good. The scene with the two fassbenders was absolutely hilarious.

This video is a good example of why Josh is in the group. Jay likes him because he can have this kind of conversation with him. It's hard to find people on your same level about poo poo you like to nerd out about, so when you do find that person you want to keep them around.

Again, there are numerous videos where he generally makes the group laugh. He's willing to do stuff for them as a friend, he's technical and probably saves them money like that, and he entertains them often enough he's not just that awkward friend you keep on the periphery. The internet and usually these forums are hyperbolic to a ridiculous degree. If anyone's had good friends for years and years they know you have to accept each other's flaws and irritating qualities if they are Good People.

What I'm saying is

I'm Josh thanks for watching

e: yeah this kinda but it's hard to say sincere people suck in this age of apathy and cynical 'ironic' detachment

Josh sucks but you can tell from everyone's interactions that they're still friends as opposed to the Best of the Worst with Max Landis where Rich looks like he can barely contain strangling Max anytime he opens his mouth.

I would agree with this. I didn't feel like I wasted my time, but I was kinda shocked at just how....dumb the whole thing felt. It's dumber than Prometheus, and that's impressive.

I remember the halcyon days before we found out Jack had a powerful dick and he was just the bald guy that made pee jokes. Now he's the permanent 4th man and it feels weird when he's not there.


Legion is dumb, but then I like Black Sails and The Strain so don't take my tv opinions too seriously unless it's when I say Sopranos is the best because that will always be true. Thanks.

I thought Legion had a strong start but devolved into dumbness. Also Fharouk being Audrey Plaza made sense in David's mind but it makes no sense he would retain that form when possessing someone else.

So I re watched The Force Awakens plinkett review and something he talked about at the end really stuck with me. The lack of romance and intimacy in the new trilogy. The heart of ESB was the budding romance between Han and Leia. Their was a real sexual energy in the OT, that is sorely missing in this new trilogy. Plinkett touches on the two most probable reasons for this. Racism and PC culture. I know the casting of Finn was color blind, but I really feel like if a white actor had been cast, the relationship dynamic between Finn and Rey would have played out differently. They definitely would have planted the seeds for a future romantic relationship and she would have kissed him on the lips at the end. Or if Finn had been played by someone like Michael B Jordan, they would have allowed a little mutual flirting between the two. As it stands you have this chubby immature guy that spends the whole film sweating and screaming. What do you guys think? Will their be any kind of romantic relationship in the new films?

This ship is so loving racist. The fandom would rather force some weird random gay relationship between a near teenaged storm trooper and a thirty something year old resistance pilot, than follow the natural order of the heroes journey and have Finn and Rey end up together. I love watching the fandom jump through hoops defending Finn's portrayal and lack of intimacy with Rey. We all know if Finn had been casted white, the relationship would played out a lot differently.

No Rey just doesn't need no man to complete her whereas Poe and Finn are a couple of fun dudes who are actually pretty awesome when all happy to see each other, sheesh!

the only time that the creature effects look good is in the scene with the xenomorph you see in the trailer. also there is, no joke, a loving alien viewpoint camera shot multiple times and it's as dumb and bad as it sounds.

it's the type of movie that bums me out the most - the basic premise is really good but they didn't structure it well so it's some amazing scenes strung together with really bad or lame ones. plus it doesn't make any sense when you think about the original alien movie (which is dumb since y'know ridley scott did both of them).
