  1. I think it's just people didn't care for this one. Didn't feel like an event, at least for me. Then again I've been in my own little world for the past 6 months so I'm the last person to talk to about this. Or it just could be that Star Wars is the black hole on the horizon that is sucking all the energy out of every tentpole or wannabe tentpole released. And GTFO with the the racism talk.
  2. X2: X-Men United > X-Men (first one is ok, but X2 just tears it apart) Final Destination 2 > Final Destination (really like the first, but FD2 just kicks ass) There are sequels that I prefer over the originals, but that doesn't make the originals "average" films at all, just that the sequels were better IMO. Terminator 2 Aliens Matrix Reloaded
  3. Terminator Salvation (I love the first three, yes, even T3,. This one was putrid.) Matrix Revolutions (Reloaded is my favorite actually, but Revolutions is just blegh) Transformers 4 (First three are decent to really good, this one was just mehhhhh, yawnnn, zzzzzz) Jurassic Park III (Love to death the original, Lost World was great) Alien 3 (they kill off our Newt and Hicks five minutes into the film, WTF) Final Destination 4 (pure shit, but love the other four) Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides (Huge fan of the original trilogy, my favorite is actually AWE, but this one is just a big whatever in all aspects)
  4. There are a few reasons why I think this happens. 1. They are past their prime. They had their heyday and are now simply basking in the sun. I mean if I was someone like Ridley Scott or Stanley Kubrick and I had already done Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, etc. I'd just sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I made a dent and left my mark on pop culture and history. I can die happy. At least that's how I see it. 2. Ties together with the notion of their prime being behind them. They no longer have as much ambition, passion, or enthusiasm for their projects like they used to. When you are young, you have the motivation, the push, the drive to strive to make something epic, memorable, and awesome. Once you have achieved that and more, you settle into this mold or routine of same old, same old, much like any other job. Something that was once new and exciting and exhilarating has now become tedious, repetitive, and boring. You no longer have the same desire to do it as you once had before. 3. The money. Some directors know that they have already made their magnum opus, or at least have a few films or so that they have great pride in having made. At this point in their lives, they simply don't care as much, and are in it probably more for the money than the passion of making a certain film. Much like a regular job itself. "I have been promoted to District Manager, I have a nice steady income, I can settle down. Even if the job is a chore, it provides my paycheck, so why bother?" Those are my three cents, at least.
  5. Just saw it again today. Love this film. I'm a disaster porn enthusiast and this is very well made. Plus its one of the films I grew up with so obviously it holds a little special place in my heart. A-
  6. And this: Matrix Reloaded > The Matrix Back to the Future 2 > Back to the Future At World's End > All POTC films I'm ready. Come get it.
  7. Alien over Aliens??? Terminator over T2??? Y'all need to chill.
  8. I eat Popcorn with Tapatio. Too good. And its easy to sneak in a small bottle of the stuff into a theater. My friends all snuck in wings from Buffalo Wild Wings at opening night for Jurassic World lol. Reminded me of that scene from Scary Movie. Ugh and I still haven't seen Jurassic World a second time.
  9. HOLY SHIT, that is huge. I'm seeing it again tomorrow in IMAX hopefully. Gotta contribute to it at least once more lol.
  10. I bet! I wanna see that Mososaur on the big screen. That and the Raptors. Those are my baes.
  11. I'm just so happy I wasn't just downright disappointed like I was with Godzilla last year. Ugh, I had such high expectations and it turned out to be utterly boring shit.
  12. And for all the shit that JPIII gets, I gotta admit it has its glorious moments as well. The Spinosaur attack on the plane is hella awesome. The T. Rex vs. Spino scene is sweet, but too short and you can't kill T. Rex off just like that! Am not a fan of how the Raptors looked in it at all, but once again I love them so much, they get a pass. The birdcage scene was also great and the Spinosaurus in the water was cool. But the story was just too "small", especially compared to the rest of the franchise. Going to the island just to save some kid is just bleghh. The movie was only 90 minutes long, WTF, and that ending is just cringe-worthy. Plus the soundtrack was not as epic as the first two.
  13. Agreed with all those who give TLW the benefit of the doubt. Probably one of the most under-rated sequels ever. The trailer sequence is always awesome to watch. The scene where the T-Rex attacks the campsite is great. Ugh, I love the field scene where the hunters chase a whole bunch of dinosaurs. Velociraptors are of course always welcome. And the San Diego scene is better than all of Godzilla (2014). In fact, I'd probably rank them right now just for shits n giggles 1. Jurassic Park 2. The Lost World 3. Jurassic World 4. Jurassic Park III I need to re-watch JW though to really get a strong grasp of it. I really enjoyed it, but will probably enjoy it more on repeat viewings. The rankings between TLW and JW might switch.
  14. This was, is, and forever shall be one of the greatest weekends of my existence.
  15. BKB's meltdown is just glorious. LOL Keep trying to spin it darling. It provides top notch entertainment.
