  1. If there is one gripe I have about this movie it was that Laura didn't talk enough. A child actor conveying a lot without saying much is pretty impressive itself, but that scene in the car where Logan realizes she can talk was great and more scenes of Logan and Laura getting mad at each other would've been nice.
  2. Its amazing. The Wolverine solo movies nearly started out on the "so bad its good" level to and finished with a stylish Noirish Neo Western thats probably the best CBM to date depending on who you ask.
  3. The scene right afterwards where he's losing his mind fucking up his truck was simultaneously gut wrenching and comical.
  4. I feel sorry for the person making the next X-Men movie. Like why bother? Logan felt like the end of the franchise because it was really Wolverine's the entire time.
  5. The X-Men continuity has been a mess a long time nowI thought it was pretty obvious this movie didn't give a shit about continuity outside the basics of Xavier once running a school for mutants and taking in Logan under his wing. Logan even picks up an X-Men comic book and says "this is all bullshit, maybe a quarter of it happened"
  6. Didn't he think Man of Steel was the best film of 2013? Like seriously brah? I need more than just a bunch of shit happening all over the screen man. Edit: Spellchecker is annoying brah
  7. Heh, I might be in the minority here but I would've preferred a Prometheus sequel instead of the movie Blomkamp was gonna make. I don't understand the people saying this looks like Prometheus, the only connection in the the trailer is the Fassbender.
  8. It's probably the way the trailer was cut, if there is one thing Scott has never stumbled on its making a great looking movie. He's easily one of the best visualists in Hollywood so I don't think he's gonna make a gimmicky looking movie here. And I see some people are once again talking about incomplete CGI months before release lol The movie looks exactly like one vapid fandom wanted and that's the problem. Curious guy standing over egg as it opens? Check. Facehuggers? Check. Chest bursters? Check. Xenomorphs lurking in dark corridors killing people? Check. People with guns? Check. Big boss looking Xenomorph at the end? Check. Ripley Clone? Check. i'll definitely see it because it's Scott doing scifi and I'll take an Alien fan service film over capes and sky beams any day, but I'm not expecting a unique or memorable movie in any significant way. It should be called Alien: Conventional.
  9. Theres a glimpse of something at 1:57, but other than that it looks like the most violent xenomorph show. I'll be kinda disappointed if its just that, but either way I won't pass up a Riddler scifi.
  10. Did a movie about a gay black guy win over a movie about 2 good looking young white people singing about how awesome Hollywood is because the Academy wanted to make a statement in the first year of the 1000 year Trumpenreich? I don't know, maybe. I haven't seen either one of them and don't plan to because neither appeal to me, Hell or High Water and Hacksaw Ridge were the only 2 nominees I've seen this year actually, the lowest number in a long time. But politics generally rules the Oscars in one way or another. If there is one thing I agree with George Lucas on its that the Oscars are politics(though he only believes that because the prequels and Red Tails were dog shit and is bitter). Remember when a romantic comedy beat Spielberg's genre redefining masterpiece Saving Private Ryan that all war movies are still measured against to this day? Thats because at the time Spielberg already won recently for Schindler's List. FOTR and TTT didn't win because they felt like giving it to ROTK would be good enough. The Artist won because the Academy wanted to tell people how cool black and white silent films once were even though film as an art form has dramatically evolved(for the better) since the 20s. I don't like using the word pretentious very often but The Artist was definitely a pretentious win, you couldn't pay me to sit through a silent black and white film. The Hurt Locker won because it was a weak year. The Dark Knight didn't win because the Academy wasn't comfortable with the idea of giving BP to a CBM about a guy dressing up as a bat.
  11. Predictions 1.) The Warner Bro/DC universe will continue to be a dumpster fire and eventually canceled, I doubt Wonder Woman will be good because they no longer get the benefit of the doubt after 3 turkeys in a row. 2.) Marvel will continue to make competent but forgettable films. 3.) FOX will continue down the Deadpool / Logan road with risks and freshness.
  12. It looks hilariously entertaining with that last trailer, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't do well due to the absence of capes and sky beams.
  13. Trump tweets: "Wow! The failing and increasingly irrelevant Academy mixed up La La Land and Moonlight for Best Picture! Sad!"
