I am here yet another week to tell you about some other film you must never ever watch! If you missed me the week before, it is because I watched an actually good movie, by the way.
The film I want to warn you about is The Recall. This movie belongs to
In conclusion, if you ant a good Wesley Snipes movie, go watch
Demolition man.

wesley snipes is in it. it cant be bad
wesley snipes is in it. it cant be bad
Actually, Wesley Snipes is about the only good thing in it, but as cool as he is, I don't think he manages to save the wreck.
This film made me think of Nicholas Cage, who was once big, and then got sucked into making lame movies non stop since... maybe 2015?
Every actor who does not retire on time reaches a point in which he is not trendy anymore and
stops receiving offers for good movies. I hope it is not the case with Snipes, but that is certainly what I thought after watching this film.

nick cage has always made shitty movies. he's in it for the paycheck. he's t breed of actors that will do your birthday party for the right price.
lance hendrikson, ron perlman and those other nameless jobbers.

he was locked up for a while because of tax evasion. he also had some drug problems and clashes with people on that last blade movie.
and he is notdoing much other than looking creepy and playing some exposition every now and then.
Nicholas Cage you may like or dislike, but back in the day they offered him a place in good movies (The Rock comes to mind) and now they don't.
another thing is are there REALLY any good movies anymore? I havent seen a g movie in years.

Ok, that is a fair point. I would not say I haven't watched a good
film in
years, but that is because I cheat and watch old movies.

well i liked thor ragnarok. i dont consider those marvel movies 'real' movie those are just entertainment. i like movies that surprise me and have interesting twists.
liked the second, but the chemistry between Thor and Jane was not there. I think only Loki saved that movie. Thor Ragnarok was good fun but it didn't feel like a Thor movie at all. Half the jokes didn't fit a Thor movie, I hated the Thor-turned-Captain-Kirk concept, and fhe plot was a Planet Hulk travesti. That said, you never got bored with that one, since there was always something happening, so there is no way you can write it off as a failure.
movies are long enough as it is. i wish they'd get them back down to 1.5 hrs. the few times i did see them in the theaters i'd doze off in the middle.
thor and spider man are 2 characters that they are trying hard to put on the silver screen but cant pull it off. i thought thor ragnarok was great, i l taka's humor. i dont know what you mean by captain kirk. he was riding wi the guardians in their ship for a little while.

Everytime I see you talking about the theatre, it always ends up with you falling asleep.

What I mean about Captain Kirk is they changed the Thor character to fit the role of a sci-fi leader who blasts his enemies with ray-guns and leads spaceship crews (which include aliens). They even changed his look in order to make him less Viking and more sci-fi - crew haircut anyone?
Which is not bad, mind you. It just does not make the movie qualify as a Thor movie.

It must be because so many modern movies are boring as heck and put you to sleep harder than a box of melatonin.

I don't disagree however I no longer go to the pictures unless there's something I REALLY want to see. No way would I pay that kind of money just to catch some z's.
you must be single. when you're with someone you have to do shit you dont want to do all the time.

I fall asleep whenever we are at home and she's watching her crappy soap ope but because the pictures are so damn expensive, we usually agree on somethin to watch which I make a point to remain conscious for.
I agree that there's an ongoing trend for movies to be stupidly long though. it was preferable when they left a lot of the unrequired exposition on the cutting room floor -- nowadays directors are arrogant to the point they beli their "art" too important and special to be streamlined and condensed.

Indeed you do.
Since they did not recognize that films had a comercial life after being projected at the theatre, they _recycled_ the film after it had its run. This is the reason why many films of old are lost. They were recycled.

i had that crazy liberal girlfriend and she wanted me to take her to buffalo w
d wings so she could get drunk from the bloody marys. they cut her off each ti
. anyways, i already ate so i just had a soda i didnt touch.
So far I have been lucky in that I have never dated anyone who was a heavy drinker. The problem in my area is that a lot of the single women are either heavy drinkers, are on drugs, or they are the type who will stand in judgement of anyone who is not as perfect as them (and I know I won't be so I don't bother!).
Hey, keep in mind that in the Good Old Days, the film itself (the roll on which the movie was recorded) was crazy expensive, so they had a reason to make films short.

I don't have a problem with lengths myself, as long as they manage to make it entertaining. Also, some concepts are hard to cover in extremely short timespans.

I agree. There are some long films that are entertaining throughout. I think the more recent tre
of long, drawn out movies that are long and drawn out for the sake of it is more along the lines
what MRO was talking about. If the script requires more than 90 minutes, so be it... if it can b
condensed then it should be.
Agreed.
However, I must mention that there is something that bothers me more than overlong films.
Overdrawn film series.
Specially when they take a book trilogy and turn it into 4 films, which is something they do quite
frequently and for (imo) no other reason than extracting more money from people. This is the reason
I didn't watch the last two Harry Potter movies. The book from which they were derived was
overdrawn itself and didn't have material for a long movie, much less for two. It was bound to be a
scam.

I don't disagree. I watched every Harry Potter movie up until the Deathly Hallows Pt.2 so I still have no real idea how it all ends, haha.
Seriously. The whole series was a buildup for the final fight between Good and Evil, Harry vs Voldemort. When the time for the great confrontation came, it was solved in two lines with the tiniest excuse of a resolution.
For comparison, imagine you are reading a scientific thriller in which they are trying to determine whether some artifact they found in an archeological excavation is of extraterrestrial origin or not. Imagine you read through 500 pages of rigorous scientific procedure, building up to a great revelation. Suddenly, in the very last page, one of the scientists opens the artifact and says "Look guys, this part has a label that reads 'Made in China'. We are done, let's go on vacation." You'd feel cheated.
That is the Harry Potter series for me.

Now I don't feel so bad for missing out on the final movie!
the final movie was good

I'll get back to it eventually. I watched all the Harry Potter movies with a old ex between 2007-2011... we just had the last one to see but we broke up.
I ended up forgetting everything as I never bothered with the novels and had only ever watched the movies. I watched 1-4 with another ex in 2015/16 howev we also never made it to the end. Oh well, I am destined to never know what happens. I don't really want to try it all again with my current partner... seems like a bad omen for me.

I think that's as much a result of his tax audit as anything iirc. (cash grab to pay off the irs)
