SuperJon 175 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's a horror movie, dawg, not Casablanca. I don't spend my time picking out the plot holes and logic inconsistencies of horror movies. I judge them on what they are and are trying to be. This. Although I'm probably the same with all movies. Which is why I might be the only member of this forum that thought Crash was a great movie.

David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Are we talking about the Crash that everyone loved when it came out but then promptly never cared or thought about again as soon as Oscar season was over, or the Crash about people who sexually fetishize car accidents? Because I support the latter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I think there needs to be a small white truck parked next to the scene of the accident, watching but not participating. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Theraflu 1,035 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The Meg was okay. It certainly wasn't good, and was in fact pretty bad, but it's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes. Skyscraper is ****ing terrible, for many many reasons. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Jurassic Park/world: whatever the newest one is called Maybe I just haven't watched a JP movie in a long time, but I feel like they used to take themselves a little more seriously. This thing is like pure B monster movie schlock from the opening scene. Just a completely ridiculous movie that I kinda enjoyed. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think it's been like that since The Lost World, when Malcolm became the returning hero with a daughter in trouble, and the parent T-rex's searching for their stolen baby. The weird "make scarier dinos through gene splicing technology" angle has certainly been overused these last two films, which, for a theme that wasn't great to begin with, does not add anything as it gets overplayed.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I want an Armageddon 2 in 10 years, but instead of a disaster action movie, it's a introspective movie, about the crushing weight of expectations and failing to live up to them. It focuses on Ben Affleck's character, whom if you remember Bruce Willis sacrificed himself to save, and go take care of his daughter. Well, it's 30 years later, and Ben and Liv Tyler are long divorced. Ben is an alcoholic, living off the fame saving the world but never accomplishing anything. Isolated and lonely, he tries to re-connect with a daughter he barely knows and tries to come to grips with the fact that his life was ultimately not worth saving by Bruce, and decide if it's too late to change that.

brvheart 1,752 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I would watch the hell out of that movie. It sounds a little like Better Call Saul. My only issue is that it stars Ben Affleck, who I hate. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 ben affleck is great in the correct role for him and he's a pretty good director. the TOWN is a great movie, and i'm a big fan of live by night and the accountant. you know what, i'm a ben affleck fan. i'm an affleck family fan because casey is my guy too.

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Annihilation Equally as ridiculous as Jurassic world. Much less self aware. Much fewer dinosaurs running from lava. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm not saying you should like Annihilation, but comparing it in any way to a blockbuster action franchise is just plain wrong. The movie knows exactly what it's doing (which, again, feel free to hate) (and it's also not doing very much with the book as source material). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
