"movie" is such a dumb abbreviation of "moving picture." i can't believe we still use it. people should say "picture" more often. i only hear "picture" from david lynch or people doing impressions of david lynch

if you're going to say "picture" then it must be in a strong east coast accent, preferably new york or boston

I saw The Dark Knight like three times in theaters, I was one of those teenagers

More recently I watched Digimon Last Evolution Kizuna almost immediately after finishing it. The intro to that movie is really good and has my favorite version of Butter-Fly, despite the goon Digimon thread’s insistence that movie killed their parents

i cant remember the last time ive ever watched a whole movie. like, i watched several movies this weekend: george clooney in space, Kill The Rich the Movie: India Style, and ET 2 but I was doing something else at the same time, drawing, modelling, videogame, reading the wiki for a different movie i didn't see and won't, etc

Last night I watched the shining but it had the shining running in reverse overlayed on it and abbey road was playing and apparently there's a whole community of people who think this was kubrick's true vision.

I watched Rambo 5 today. It was unbelievably stupid even by the standards of the Rambo franchise. The final setpiece was about as absurd as the kill count section from Hot Shots Part Deux

The only good Rambo flick is the original First Blood. Everything else has been completely over the top.

I only really liked the first Rambo movie, and that is the one where literally only one person dies.

Agreed. If it had kept the original suicide ending and none of the sequels were made it would probably be much more fondly remembered.

Is it more ridiculous than the one in Rambo 4?

I wonder how it the movie went from a Vietnam vet with severe PTSD and his inability to cope went from anti-hero to a complete parody of himself. Oh wait a minute I forgot the movie ended with "prisons are good actually"

I'll accept the arguments agaisnt rambo only because time spent watching Rambo II is time not spent watching Tango and Cash, and that's time wasted.

Yes, I haven't seen 4 since it released but whilst ridiculously gory it was a cool action sequence. 5 ends with Rambo setting up a bunch of absurd traps a la Home Alone before a conga line of evil Mexicans run headfirst into all of them one by one and Rambo blasts their heads off with shotguns. Also at the end he shoots the bad guy in the dick with a crossbow then cuts his ribcage open and rips out his heart

I've seen that movie but never knew it's name. It's a better Stalone movie than most of the Rambo's.

Cobra, Tango & Cash, and Cliffhanger are probably my favourites. The latter two are definitely helped by having great villains as well.

this movie completely rules. arnold plays a u.s. marshal whose job is to fake people's deaths. he does this by stealing bodies from the morgue and planting them in the people's houses, which he then blows up. if you like house explosions this is the movie for you. the actual plot revolves around a defense contractor that has developed the most video game rear end electromagnetic science fiction sniper rifle you've ever seen. arnold's character, as usual, is pathologically incapable of not adding insult to injury. it's so good

i got a super mario bros. game & watch. it's smaller and cuter than i expected and i like it. obviously not a great value proposition at $50 for smb, lost levels, and a mario-themed remake of the first g&w game, "ball," but i think game & watch stuff is just so cool. what's a shame is that this thing would be perfect for playing any nes, game boy, or gbc game, and it probably never will. it has a usb-c port but with no data pins so you have to unscrew the back and connect something directly to the logic board to flash it. what's even more of a shame is that if they released another one of these and were like "it plays metroid" i'd probably drop another $50 on it

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Pretty good. Not 100% faithful to the books or anything, but it's a very solid TV-grade adaptation.

Yeah, it's really weird. I mean, if you want to have a coherent narrative, it's really important to make it feel like one. If you don't really care about the timeline and just want every episode to stand on its legs, then doing it in the format of something like that nineties Hercules series or Xena would be far better.

Perfectly watchable anyway, but you gotta wonder about the thought process behind it sometimes.

The only thing I can figure is that it was done so that all 3 central characters would appear a bit in every episode, but that the choice came too late in production to make the transition between eras feel natural.
