I know nothing about the game except whomever plays it just a bunch or dorks . That being written from a pure entertainment standpoint it was great. Lot's of good humor.

just watched Everything Everywhere All at Once...very amazing movie really..had a bit of everything...easy to see why it won like everything...though the hot dog fingers weirded me out

watched John Wick 2 and 3 last week...good action flicks..enjoyed a lot..but the story , i know dont watch it for the story, was lacking

Finally watched TG Maverick. Was quite enjoyable.

And well-plotted. Most of the scripts for these sorts of films are really just a bunch of lazy gibberish, but not here. It's actually about something. Comfortingly predictable while still mildly subverting expectations, and everything snaps into place neatly and resonates thematically.

Just finished watching Cocaine Bear. If you haven't seen it, ratchet your expectations to just slightly higher than Sharknado. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, which I wasn't expecting.

I also watched RocKabul, a documentary about Afghanistan's first heavy metal band. Did some research on it before I watched it, and, as a result, I had high expectations. It met them. Highly, highly recommended.

We took the little one to see it today and we all really enjoyed it. Cant imagine a better adaptation of a Mario game. Jack Black as Bowser was wild lol

I feel like they managed to make Colin Farrell look both nothing like Colin Farrell and the penguin at the same time and instead made a wish version of a Robert dinero monster character.

Took the kid to see the Mario movie. Her second theatre experience.

I caught a bunch of Easter eggs for those that have been playing Mario games for decades, but I'm sure I missed more than I saw.

Fun movie and certainly set up for sequels. Kids will love it. Cynical movie critics will hate it.

The Child saw it on opening day, she said her favorite part was "All of it."

Whoever cut this scene has to be put into The Musher

Getting shot down and then stealing an enemy plane is realistic. That happened. It is important that people know this.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Not that I necessarily agree it should be but I do think this will set forth a trend in Hollywood.

I for one am shocked that video game movies can actually work and be good when you stop letting Uwe f***ing Boll define how it's done.

I’ll never understand how he had a career.

Watched the latest episode of The Mandalorian. I think The Armorer is aligned with Moff Gideon. How else were Moff’s soldiers able to get that armor

They have definitely dropped clues for this theory; I'm hoping it's a red herring and will be disappointed if that's how the story plays out.

All I know is the armorer was trying to charge $90 each for a group “virtual meet and greet”. Insane.
$90 to be in a group of people, to not meet an actress, who’s face you never see in the show.

Gideon has a huge stash of beskar from nuking Mandalore, and those troopers are from one of the cartoons

This very well be the case. It’s just a theory I have.

 

[Lord Defect]

I just wish they would hire a military adviser for these blaster battles. There is zero tactics involved.
I get they have armor, but still. Give me something here.

 

[Lord Defect]

Super Mario had no business being that good.
Wish they would have gotten a different voice actor for DK.

 

[trostol]

the theories are all over the place for the season finale of Mando lol

I think I must be the only person who hated the Mario Bros. movie.
