I try to refuse to like Tele posts. He's had far to many.But to be honest it's sometimes a real struggle to resist the urge to like.

 

If you give into the urge just let us know and someone can take one away from him.

[John Marston]

Thank you sir.

 

What, no civilians died in The Avengers?

 

 

Oh shit

Man of Steel was not perfect but I liked it overall. 

Yeah, Man of Steel wasn't great, but it isn't as bad as some people make it out to be.

I really don't understand why people were so letdown by MOS given you know exactly what you're getting with a Snyder film if you've ever seen one. And it wasn't like that was the first time the trailers made one of his movies look way better than it was either.

Some of us have managed to avoid Snyder films. Fortunately before MoS I'd only seen Watchmen and luckily I was pretty drunk at the time.

[Dementeleus]

I don't really get the hatred for MOS (or, frankly, STID or even IM3). They were there, they were okay-ish, they didn't really have much oomph once you take away all the sizzle and flash, and honestly there are far better and more interesting movies to talk about (especially now). None of them were terrible, none were great. They're all in the B-/C+ range and just not worth bitching about.

I actually really liked Watchmen, which probably only worked because he had the tight graphic novel to work from. 300 too, to a lesser extent. In a more freeform environment he's pretty much unbearable.

Thank you sir.

I fucking love you, omg.

[ecstasy]

Paranormal Activity is doing pretty good in my neck of the woods. Fair amount of sell outs, Should win Friday easily.

Except Keaton was no Bale.WHERES THE TRIGGER!?

 

Keaton was the better Batman, Bale was the better Bruce Wayne. The "Keaton is better" rhetoric is revisionist bullshit. 

[Impact]

People on FB are calling it "Paranormal 5"

Anyway I saw Hobbit 2 today, really good.

Shall we start ranking the Marvel movies? 

[Dementeleus]

Shall we start ranking the Marvel movies?

Only if we can talk about TDKR vs. TA afterwards.

Watchmen is leagues above Man of Steel. It actually has something to say and the visuals are genuinely inspiring. Man of Steel is an over-color-corrected mis-mash of hollow emotional throughlines that are somehow truncated throughout a 2 hour and 20 minute running time. A 2:20 film that skimps on character development is quite an achievement.

Hm 2014 and we're still on this shit. Well, page 12 is all i needed to see. Goodnight.

[DeeCee]

C'mon everyone. Let's rank the Police Academy films. It'll be fun.

[John Marston]

let's talk about Shia LaBeouf apologizing for plagiarism using sky writing 

[Dementeleus]

C'mon everyone. Let's rank the Police Academy films. It'll be fun.

PA3 was brilliant but I was disappointed in PA4... it really lacked the subtext and subtlety of the first three films.

[Jack Nevada]

C'mon everyone. Let's rank the Police Academy films. It'll be fun.

I'd rather rank the Before movies. Midnight is obviously the best one.
