To make @That One Guy happy and myself happy seeing Kong in a hour, and Beast tomorrow.

 

You have made a quasi-decent decision.

@Chewy you'll be disappointed to know that Gugu does nothing in this movie.

That describes pretty much every movie she's been in since her breakout 2014, unfortunately.

I'm not sure why people get so triggered by my dislike of JW. Really, I'm perfectly happy not to discuss it anymore.  

 

JW is so bad it makes me break out in cold sweats every time I think about episode 9.

Let's be careful not to get into spoiler territory here.

 

Would hate to see you gone for the weekend.

I'm with you, FWIW. It's a crap movie, but one thing that always stuck with me was that fucking computer guy with the 'original' JP t-shirt. Fan-service at its most cringeworthy, which makes absolutely no sense in that film's universe.

Wasn't she like one of the talking furniture?  Can hardly remember her role at this point.

Her character was superfluous in the original too tbf.

And April's looking ugly

Only very few of Spielberg's films were actually thought provoking IMO.

 

Schindler's List, and then what else? 

 

They're entertaining, but kind of shallow.

[Noctis]

Jurassic World is a lot of fun.

However will I give BaTB a D like BVS (disliked) or will it surprise me? Kong will easily beat Godzilla though.

Can people spoiler tag the gore gifs, please?

Sorry about that. That was the horror geek in me that saw an opportunity to use that reference.

Still, playing to mostly empty theaters isn't something to crow about. 

 

Well, yeah? But still, when even your niche little side-project boutique label still grinds out profits, you're doing just fine (and of course, BH is doing ridiculously more than just fine).

JW fans are like Captain America in the Avengers. "I got that references! I got that reference!" and laughing like showing a thing you recognize is a punchline.

Wonder how long it will take til BvS aint in the top 50 dom anymore.

Did someone just say most of Spielberg's filmography was "shallow?"
