Also that intro scene where an obvious James Bond stand-in goes into some kind of rave club and gets himself killed

They really were trying to make Xander Cage the 21st century James Bond and it was embarrassing

Rammstein played at that club. The movie needed more of that. In fact, Rammstein should have followed Xander cage around all movie long, blasting sick firework whenever he does a thing.

I'm so, so, so happy I got out of my career in education. Teachers are heroes in my book (yes even most of the lovely ones).

I am a teacher, feeling pretty good about that right now. I started subbing English in 9th grade yesterday, the subject is Australia. I so badly want to show them Fury Road but some of them aren't old enough.

Outside of the obvious nostalgia, what keeps interesting me about the Power Rangers movie is that they seem to want to convey that having powers like they do is loving awesome. You're suddenly and majorly jacked, you've got a robot dinosaur, and techno/magical armor.

Also, you suddenly have five friends where before you had none.

It would be kind of funny if the kids discovered that, even with their shared destiny and awesome powers, they don't really like each other all that much.

Just for the record Ramirez was canonically born in 896 B.C. in Egypt. This is super important because...

He also taught Connor the secret super-power of feeling the heartbeat of a moose, which allowed him to run pretty fast along a beach for one scene. I do love how that "power" never comes up, ever, again.

I think there is already a lot of :goonsay: about how Connor's sword was made well before swords like that were made, but what I want to know is: When and how did Kurgan get his sword? I'm assuming he's a fair bit older than Connor, and I imagine the place he comes from doesn't exactly have the most refined weapons manufacturers. Kurgan probably decapitated his first dude with a stone ax.

I could get behind a Bill & Ted franchise where they are tasked to save something and apparently succeed at it, only for it to be revealed in the sequel that they totally blew it by slacking so this time they have to save an even bigger something.

Nope, apparently he's about 32m tall and Godzilla 2014 was 108m tall, so he's less than a third as tall.

Batman Forever's soundtrack is peak '90s: Seal, Nick Cave, Method Man, U2, Iggy Pop, Flaming Lips, PJ Harvey, Brandy ... I mean, jeez.

Edit: I forgot that Nick Cave so completely hated the song he did for the soundtrack that he kept it off the Bad Seeds' B-Sides and Rarities three-disc set back in like 2006, which had literally every other soundtrack contribution they'd ever done to that point. :lol:

muscles like this! posted:

It's really weird how Kong ends with a thing introducing the characters to the wider world of monsters when, unless any sequels are also period pieces, they aren't going to involve those actors. Also the credits kind of spoil the end reveal because they name all the monsters when they say they're property of Toho.

Time travel, yo!

Could also increase Kong's size because why not. Otherwise their fight would be like me fighting a T-Rex. I'm pretty nimble and fairly strong and have opposable thumbs but the T-Rex is a T-Rex.

At the end of the day, one thing remains true for Kong and Godzilla that will forever prevent their fight from being fair: in Kong's first appearance we saw him die. And never come back in his own series. In Godzilla he appears destroyed, but then had sequel after sequel where he was very much alive.

From this we as a cinematic audience have learned that Godzilla is invincible and King Kong is fallible. Or, maybe, fellable.

Also, Kong is toddler-sized compared to Godzilla.

I love it, it's a little slow in the mid bit that finish makes up for it. Almost could've been another Proyas movie, and I love his movies.

I'm the opposite, I could watch hours of Christian Bale rearranging stuff on his desk as he tries to puzzle out how that makes him feel vs. the overly forced action scenes. If the setting of Equilibrium were more contemporary, Disturbed would be blazing during those scenes, it's all extremely 90's cool.

I assume this isn't a typo but a great term for 80's sax-heavy sex scenes.

It was deliberate even though I'm pretty sure Terminator's sex scene doesn't have any sax going on.
