sequel to tombstone?

Holy [expletive], Jurassic World was laughably awful.

I didn't get the hype. Why was it different from the 3rd one? Chris Pratt? I feel like I liked that one more. Which is embarrassing for Jurassic World. How the hell did it make 3rd best movie of all damn time?

But, hey, that putridly un-entertaining Alice in Wonderland made a billion dollars as well.

man i wanted to like it so bad because [expletive] JURASSIC PARK and CHRIS PRATT and even walked out of the theater thinking i liked it.

watched it again the other night and boy is it bad.

cant believe they are making two more

I thought it was kinda lame too, but it broke all kinds of box office records, so nobody should be surprised that they're going to keep churning out more.

I thought the first half of the movie was pretty good. Like, there was a point in the movie where I thought to myself, "wow -- they've nailed the Jurassic Park experience. This reminds me so much of the first one." Now, as a 90s kid, I am wildly biased because of how impactful the first movie was for me.

But the second half... my god, it was just awful. So many cringeworthy moments. The boys fixing the jeep. Owen serving as commander of the Raptor Brigade. The final battle sequence. The list just goes on and on. The second half of that movie was just utter garbage.

[The Third Man]

Repo Man: So up my alley it's ridiculous: a sci-fi punk-rock comedy starring Harry Dean Stanton and set in the 80s LA hardcore scene, while taking endless clever potshots at capitalism, consumerism and Reagonomics. I can see myself getting a lot of mileage out of this movie. "What about our relationship?" "[expletive] that."

I like to think of it as an X-Files episode spoofing Reagan's America, directed by Iggy Pop. Which is to say, I loved the [expletive] out of it.

I finally realized what I love about it: it's basically a Thomas Pynchon LA novel on the big screen.

Spotlight

Very, very good movie. It's about the Boston Globe's investigation into the Catholic Church's molestation cover-up. It's obviously an important compelling story, but beyond that, the movie is so satisfying on every level. The direction is great, the script is great, the actors are great and the pacing of it is perfect. It's incredibly satisfying to see the competence and thorough nature of the reporting and investigation, it's everything you want the media to aspire to be all the time. It's a movie for adults that doesn't treat you like you're stupid and it doesn't focus on the lurid details too much. It just highlights the competence of the reporters and the importance of the story they told. Can't recommend it enough.

I haven't really seen many of the super hero movies, but loved the Batman trilogy, so Batman v. Superman has me intrigued. Although, I know it's not Nolan's Batman so I'll probably be disappointed. Anyway, the teasers/trailers have kept my interest.

you shut your damn mouth....that was prob the funniest movie i've seen in a looong time, and i'm not even joking.

i laughed my ass off more times in that movie that i can remember in any other movie. of course it's very crude/childish humor, which is my thing and not for everyone.
