The Hunger Games-series generally have had great marketing and in-world and out, but this was just embarrassing to watch.

Huh, weird, I wouldn't have guessed Goosebumps still had any present day kid following. Is R.L. still making that Scholastic bank? This opens the road to so many possibilities...

When will Lars von Trier release Animorph Pt. 1 and 2??? :getin:

(surely Jurassic World's box office means the day has finally come for Dinotopia to shine)

Stein is releasing like two more Goosebumps books this year, surprisingly enough.

It's cool how they are using in-universe propaganda to advertise. Execution wasn't phenomenal, but it reminded me of an Army recruitment commercial. All it was missing was a dramatic voiceover.

Are the G.I. Joe movies any good? I avoided them when they first came out and I know nothing about the franchise.

The second one has some wonderfully hammy performances from Walton Goggins and Jonathan Pryce. Worth youtubing those scenes at least.

No. They're bad in pretty much every aspect you can imagine. That said, they're also not dull which makes them kind of amusing to laugh at if you're into that kind of thing. Basically, don't pay for them and don't watch them if you want even a tiny amount of competence in your action films. The second one is much more stupid than the first so that's the one to watch if you're going to pick between the two.

They're stupid fun and are on Netflix, I think. You can do worse with your time. The first one has some incredible scenery chewing from JGL and it has a sweet ending. The second one has Dwayne Johnson being cool and Bruce Willis sleeping his way through a paycheck.

(I liked both of them).

The dancers and choreography they used are a smidge too "Darrin's Dance Grooves", not conveying enough scary militaristic devotion.

The funny thing about the GI Joe movies is that the first one did well at the box office but reviewed bad, so for the sequel they decided to kill off everyone but Snake Eyes and start over. Except after the sequel was done filming Channing Tatum became a mega star. They couldn't completely retool the movie because that would have required refilming everything so instead they delayed it and filmed a filler scene of Channing and the Rock hanging out and playing videogames.

Also since then Channing Tatum has stated he thinks the movies are garbage and only did them because the studio had him under contract.

If you played with GI Joe figures between 1985-1992 then the movies are surprisingly fun and cool. I wish I had seen them with my little brother actually.

My favorite part of the movie is when they realize the president is an imposter because he is holding his hands differently.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Urban destruction really was everyone's favorite part of the previous Superman movie. Then again, I guess it is an important plot point for this one.

I haven't heard those stories, but it sounds like she and Thora Birch could start a support group.

There's nothing objectively terrible about this but I'm completely uninvested. Call me when Superman becomes a character and not a plot device that lets assholes clown around him.
