movies

I watched Mud last night and liked it a lot. Best movie I've seen in quite awhile.

This is a thing that more people should be saying.

I didn't watch Mud last night, and don't know if I would have liked it or not. It could be the best movie I have never seen, but I don't know.

Ben Affleck is gonna be the next Batman.

Meh. I'm not some big comic buff - I didn't even see the new Superman and I thought the last Batman movie was dumb - but I am not seein it.

Ugh.

I admit I was a comic book nerd as a kid. I'm still a fan, although I haven't bought any comic books since I was a kid (exception: if I see old vintage comics from the 60s/70s at a garage sale for 10 cents a piece, I buy them up, which I did a couple months ago).

A personal pet peeve though is when people shift from one universe to the other, or if they play multiple characters in the same universe.

Ben Affleck already played DareDevil, a Marvel character. It sucked. Now he's going to play Batman, a DC character? Boooooo.

Chris Evans originally played Human Torch, a Marvel character. It sucked. Now he's playing Captain America, and did a damn good job too, but he's also Marvel. Boooooo.

And then there's the whole Hulk thing... In a span of like 7-8 years, we've had Eric Bana, Edward Norton, AND Mark Ruffalo all play the Hulk?

Such a shame.

I loved The World's End

I couldn't fall asleep a few nights ago and got caught up in Hostel and Hostel: Part 2 on some cable movie channel.

Entertaining.

I don't know, he may be able to pull it off. Daredevel was bad, but it wasn't because of him.

I just hope he doesn't use the Bale growly voice, that was one of the few things I didn't like about the last few Batman Movies.

The World's End isn't quite as much fun as the first two Cornetto films, but it's better in a lot of other ways- heavier drama at times, more social commentary (like all good sci-fi), and Pegg/Frost both show off a lot of range. It also doesn't wear its references on its sleeve like Shaun or Fuzz, for better or worse. I'm happy as hell to finally see it and I'm going to see it again.

[go birds]

can you understand what they are saying in this movie?

[ghostrunner]

Who seriously wants to see Batman and Superman in the same movie? Who wants a non-Nolan Batman at all? They don't even let this [expletive] settle anymore.
