OT: The Movie & TV Thread

[Wayne Primeau]

I am looking forward to this.

YES yes yes

 

[Yung Rotini]

First Independence Day was awful.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I didn't mind the the first movie. Wasn't great or bad imo. Does it deserve a sequel? No.

 

[tmurfin]

Just watched The Ridiculous 6, good for some cheap, cheesy, immature laughs.

I hate Sandler with a passion, so I wouldn't be able to make it through that lol.

I can only get into certain movies he's in. I liked Bulltproof back in the day and then Reign over me, the latter being the only of his movies I own. Others like Big Daddy and such were okay, but nothing special. I couldn't stand Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore though.

There were set walk offs because of the portrayal of Aboriginals. I just can't support movies like that. It'd be like someone getting in black face and portraying a dumb farmhand, it'd be considered the most racist thing in years. Yet those folks have been mis-represented for almost 100 years strong (maybe less in the 90s and early 2000s).

There's a fairly good doc called Reel Injun, out there. It might be on Netflix, but it's a really good watch; and fairly important one to be honest. Additionally when you can get young Sacheen Littlefeather on screen, it's a win

Meh, I'm half Cree, grew up on a reserve. I don't take Adam Sandler movies serious especially with all the other over the line stereotypes in the movie. It is what it is, I laughed. If it was a historical movie or serious drama, sure I'd be pissed. But it's an Adam Sandler comedy, no different than Family Guy, South Park, etc.

 

[DCDM]

I don't think anyone takes Adam Sandler seriously anymore, and yet that movie still got dumped on. By all accounts, even Sandler was mailing in his performance in that movie.

I now have tickets to see Star Wars on Thursday night, and for Saturday at 11, 1:30, and 6:20.

Oh I didn't watch it for the acting, which for the most part was half ass , I love great cinematic masterpieces and riveting dramas, but, I do enjoy the flat out dumb movies, not going to lie.

That Saturday Marathon.

 

[GAMO1992]

I just can't decide on 1 particular genre. they are all so good.

some of my all time favs tho are(in no order)

Jurassic Park(all of them)
Transformers(all of them)
Avengers(1,2, Most Marvel movies for that matter)
Back to the Future(trilogy)
The Matrix(trilogy)
Aliens(all)
Shrek
Now You See Me(seriously awesome movie)
Most Adam Sandler and Mike Meyers movies as well

also Disney section:

Aladdin
The Little Mermaid
The Emperor's New Groove
Hercules
Beauty and the Beast
Lion King
Toy Story

and just last week I FINALLY decided to give into the hype and watch 'Frozen'. It did not disappoint. It was much better than anticipated.

Also am SUPER stoked to see Star Wars and Disney's take on it.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

That Saturday Marathon.

Yup. May be seeing it Sunday night too haha. I'm a pretty huge Star Wars nut

 

[Rangediddy]

I can assure you Disney had little to do with it, other than ensuring they make a few billion dollars off of it.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Yeah. Disney is smart about their movies. They allow the groups to do the movies without inteferring in anything. That's why most movies are good. That's why the Marvel movies are great.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Except they interfered the **** out of Avengers 2

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Going to see TFA tomorrow night at 9:50. The tickets were not sold out and we got lucky. I didn't know until a few days ago that there were Thursday shows. I guess not a lot people know? Anyways, I'm excited to see it.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Enjoy Ferk!

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Enjoy Ferk!

Thanks Hox!

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Thanks Hox!

 

[InfinityIggy]

I watched '12 Monkeys' on Netflix last night.

It was okay, hasn't aged well though.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

That's one of those movies I've watched on TV a bunch of times, but I think I've seen the first 15 minutes of it like once or twice.

 

[Kahvi]

One of my all time favourites. Great movie and even better soundtrack.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Thanks Hox!

So is mine.

May the force be with you
