I like DOFP but it's impressive how much I thought the Rogue Cut improved it.

Rogue cut?

I like most of the xmen movies but they're pretty much the same story every time.

Had to go see A Dog's Purpose with my girlfriend. It made me wonder about why that movie was made. Even without the whole dog abuse thing, the movie seemed designed to make its core demographic (huge dog lovers) cry for the entire movie. I did laugh at the realization that the director's name is Lasse and that one of the main actors is named Pooch. Also how Douglas Quaid's character's father is driven to alcoholism by his nihilistic response to the prospect of nuclear war in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

There was an article in the paper today where the humane society or something reviewed the tape and said it had been edited to look worse and the timing of it going public right before the premiere is suspicious.

Hulk rules, I just bought the blueray last year actually. Better than any Marvel movie from the last five years, anyway.

Why not just use subs? That's what I prefer, so I hear the real voice and the original actor's inflection during a scene.

I wish someone would greenlight a modern version of Emperor of the North.

Well movies are a visual medium first and foremost, theoretically they shouldn't really need words. That's what books are for.

Can someone give me a non-spoilery explanation of why Hail Caesar was so divisive? I wasn't able to catch it at the theater.

It was mismarketed so people had the wrong ifea going into it, and even if you're into it it's kind of a niche subject, handled tongue-in-cheek. Watch it then check the thread here about it.

You'd have to make it The Purge to try to justify how batshit the bad guys were in the Raid. I don't see it translating to America unless you resurrect some sort of Death Wish 3 view of urban crime.

So... Dredd? Bring this full circle.

If Valerian is like Jupiter Ascending meets Fifth Element it'll own.

I don't get all these people that hate Stallone's Dredd. Sure it's not great but it's silly fun, at least as good as Timecop or something. Not quite as good as Demolition Man though, despite sharing like 5 plot points.

Has there been a lack of terrible fun movies or does that stuff need time to... congeal? What would be a good recent example?

Gods of Egypt? I think it's a masterpiece though, it does exactly what it set out to. I remember liking Huntsman 2 also, and love Chappie, those are also divisive. Hardcore Henry, etc

Rising Sun is hilarious in how immediately it dates itself.

Clive Cussler had a japan-bashing book too that I somehow slogged through last year and it is so terrible. The lead character is continually the most awesome smart guy everywhere, I think he even killed a japanese guy with a samurai sword at the end when he invades Japan. But most of the book is boring as well as super anti-Japan.

The scaly ones were never real and also look dumb. You ever meet a lizard? They're stupid as hell and not intimidating in the least.

Crocodiles are pretty intimidating. And speaking of novel chat, The Great Zoo of China has dragons that are sort of flying crocodiles and it's cool as hell. It's like Jurassic Park with a lot more explosions.
