EL BROMANCE posted:I hated it so much I couldn't finish it. Even films I think are boring or a bit crap I at least get to the end, and I've watched a ton of poo poo films. It just didn't work for me in the slightest and it was just easier to end my suffering and walk away from it. Most Wanted's biggest sin is that it just wasn't funny. Every gag was run completely into the ground (Haw haw, the bad guy's name is Badguy, DO YA GET IT? LAWL), I can't remember a single song from the movie, and you just can't separate Kermit from the rest of the Muppet cast.

Sleeveless posted:The church scene was incredible just for the juxtaposition of amazing stylish action with an absolutely abhorrent message. The fact that so many people on the internet were all "haw haw, wouldn't it be great if that really happened to Westboro Baptist Church?" instead of being horrified just drives home how great it was. In general, Kingsman left a bad taste in my mouth, because it seems like the people behind it actually bought into the wish fulfillment, which wasnt so stark in Kickass. So back to TV, curently watching Difficult People as the next show in my Great 2015 Christmas Catch-up O-rama. Great show, just unapologetically clever and snide. I really buy the main characters as real people, dont know what that says about me.

Finished The Leftovers, and while the first season was genuinely intriguing, season 2 felt very weird, and way too Lindelovian at times. Dunno whether it's season 1 syndrome or just because they exhausted the book material with the first season. Some mind-blowingly good acting from everyone, though, what a goddamn acting vehicle that show is.

The entire reason Netflix shows are so successful is because they make shows for specific demographics and stick to it, Amazon's pilots are just a half measure that shows a lot of distrust with their talent and their demographic data.

This is the last post I'm gonna make about the movie for obvious reasons but if there's absolutely anyone who could handle reading thousands upon thousands of words written in all caps with the wrong tenses because of a lame-rear end gimmick* this article will make you appreciate Kingsman a hundred-fold. * like film crit hulk is probably one of the best online critics right now but he should have retired that poo poo a long way back anyway television. Mozart in the Jungle season 2 is back on Wednesday! Where you at, X-O?

Kingsman is easily the worst film I've seen this year, but it's alright. I just don't seek out bad movies (probably a bad idea because it skews my sense of movie quality). Matthew Vaughn is a consistently okay director who makes uneven, but entertaining films. If I were being an intense contrarian, I'd say worst is Star Wars, which I honestly didn't like that much anyway, but to say it's my least favorite would come off as trolling. but anyone who says it's best of the year or puts it in their top ten is blinded by the warm glow of a Star Wars movie that isn't a confusing operatic fiasco. People have a vested interest in wanting to like it, so it's hard to tell how good it actually is. okay actually thread relevant thought: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, y'all. So loving good. Marry me, Rachel Bloom.

Apparently TNT has decided not to advertise that they canceled shows as they're still calling the Agent X and Legends finales "season" instead of "series" seeing as they were both canceled. Also, heads up for those still watching Legends. they're starting an hour early and showing two episodes tomorrow because of the skipped week.

There are some valid criticisms of TFA (the droid ex machina and unnecessary escape from alien monsters sequence) but it's definitely a good--perhaps even great film. That said if you watched like three films this year and they were, say, Mad Max, The Martian, and Star Wars, then yeah I'd agree that Star Wars was the worst film you saw this year. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Dec 28, 2015 |

That's the number of times used per week, which is relatively useless. The correct metric is hours watched per week.

Ended up watching the first episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend while visiting my parents and ok yeah I think I'll pick it up. I laughed so hard in the first song when they mention music program cuts and then later on they take the kid musicians out of the scene.

That's what Hollywood is doing these days, soft reboots that keep the series continuity but remake the original at the same time. Jurassic World and 21 Jump Street did it and I have a feeling that the next Fast & Furious movie will as well. I honestly can't say I minded it.

Jurassic World was so boring. How did they mess up a movie with Chris Pratt and dinosaurs? Colin Trevorrow is why I'm worried about the third Star Wars movie. Captain Phasma or Rey are going to run around in heels while the next Death Star equivalent blows up.

Yeah, but 21 Jump Street wasn't at all about the plot, so it being a remake basically functioned as another joke. Jurassic World honestly could have done with being even more of a remake because then it might have a personality. Mu Zeta posted:Jurassic World was so boring.

My top ten films for the year are different to some because I use UK release dates which often has December films come out in January. Even though there's been some awesome films out, like Birdman and Whiplash... Star Wars is still number 1 for me because nothing else released made me feel like it did. I'll probably lower it down in retrospect, but right now I'm giving it the glory. Worst 3 were American Sniper, Get Hard, and Hot Tub 2. A trio of garbage.

It was so, so, bad. Like, 2 jokes landed. I loved the original but John Cusack was right to stay away from this turkey. he turns up for about 2 seconds in the version I saw, think that differs to the theatrical cut.
