The CBI is the worst endorsement Corbyn ever got.

I jest slightly, I do really like that film but if I had to pick a favourite it'd either be Alien or The Thing. If someone made a version of The Thing that was paced like Alien, that'd be the actual best film. Maybe some kind of alien vs predator crossover where kurt russel and sigourney weaver team up to fight the thingalien with flamethrowers.

Watchmen was more recent and also bad, though Constantine is enjoyable dreck if you hit your head enough to forget the Hellblazer comics and certainly worth it for Peter Stormare's Lucifer

And it has tilda swinton in it. If the kurt russel/sigourney weaver/pingu crossover film could be done in claymation that would also be swell.

Totally unnecessary, it does nothing original or interesting until the ending, it's just a panel by panel remake of the comic but with some songs you recognise. And then the ending. I'd certainly not ever recommend someone watch it. Actually, I completely forgot the Nolan Batman film with Bane, that has to be after Watchmen, right? Dark Knight Returns? Rises? Some word beginning with R. I realise I could just google this but it isn't worth the effort. The point is I haven't seen Amy Adams playing Lois Lane, I just read that she had. There was a point in time where I kept up with movies much more and could get quite snobby about it but that point has past me by and now I will just watch mindless trash because my attention span has been destroyed by the internet so I'm probably not going to see The Third Man ever again. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Sep 10, 2019 |

Stealing Dan Olson's opinion here, but Man of Steel feels like the edit was done in the wrong order. Every time it asks a (theoretically) interesting question in flashback, it's after that question has already been answered in the film's present.

In my defence that one was only because my mum had the DVD so I watched it cos it was there. Terminator 3 is a fairly dull film. It does, however, have a large proportion of its runtime devoted to watching arnold schwartzenegger getting punched through buildings.

The genre of youtube-video-dunk is kinda illiterate, especially when talking about reasons why something is "bad". It's kinda like liberal politics in a sense, based on assembling a collection of "rules" about filmmaking as they appear to have played out in retrospect and then getting really mad at anything that breaks them, without regard to material reality. Like the discussion about Sherlock yesterday, you've had "Why is Sherlock bad" explained to you in a funny, engaging way that followed some sort of internal logic, but when you go to use it in anger you're suddenly in the position of claiming that the show was self-evidently terrible and never made any sense and that's obvious to any onlooker, and so 10 million+ people, uh, accidentally watched it consistently for five years.
