Oh yeah, I don’t do movie theatres, either. I’m looking forward to it, but won’t be contributing to its box office.

Seems like I’m the only one looking forward to this movie? Gangsters and classic monsters is a fun combo in my book 🤷

I know, when are chores ever done? If I didn’t allot free time for myself I’d never have any.

Movie: Ghostbusters Answer the Call.

If anyone’s giving it a chance for the first time, I do recommend the extended edition. For some reason the theatrical cut out the low point of the relationship arc between the two main characters.

I don’t think all the humour lands, but enough of it does, and the movie has a good heart. At the very least it remembered that Ghostbusters is a comedy. The new movies have the same flavour as every Marvel superhero outing.

Oops, you’re right!

Honestly so confused by the reaction to Thor The Dark World. It felt like everyone loved Ragnarok, so they did the exact same thing again, and suddenly it was too jokey?

Oh you’ve gotta give No Man’s Land a read.

The previous LW&W adaption was pretty solid, so it makes sense to me to not want to go toe to toe with it right out the gate.

No, I agree completely. The two leads had enough charisma that it was enjoyable in the moment, but the plot was a mess, Vanessa suffered terrible character assassination, and the parade of cameos was just tiresome. “Some motherfuckers still trying to ice skate uphill” was a million times worse than “somehow Palpatine returned”.

But Eva Green tho.

I can’t read your comment for some reason.

Yeah, they play “can you feel the love tonight” over it and fade out shortly after the shot in question. The Zootopia frame may be taken out of context, but Lion King’s is absolutely what it looks like.

And in some of the stories Lex Luthor loses his hair because of his kryptonite experiments.

In the mainline comics of the ‘80s and ‘90s, wearing a kryptonite ring day after day gave him incurable cancer.

Goggles seem valid, but hair? Should rinse right out.

Cannot relate, was working from home before, during, and after Covid.

Agreed, it presents as an abstract logic puzzle, but then gives a very concrete answer. It’s like presenting the trolly problem to someone, and when they give one of the two expected answers saying “no, stupid, you run ahead and untie the victims before the trolly reaches them.”

It’s compounded by the fact that the proposed physical solution isn’t even very reliable, as lots of people in this thread have said. If we’re stepping outside of the logic puzzle constraints, why not just leave the door to the room open? Or have someone stand inside and shout when the light turns on? Or ask someone who knows these switches? Or any number of boring non-brain teaser solutions.

Blair Witch 2 was the unfortunate victim of studio interference. I watched this fan edit years ago that brings it more in line with the director’s intentions, and the result was a very solid horror movie. Looks like there are some newer attempts on that site now I may need to try and find.

This is the first thing I’ve read that made It Follows sound interesting! I’ll probably check it out now.

Grey text is looking out for their safety, good for them. Blue text is clearly communicating their boundaries, good for them. Neither is phrasing their needs as I would, but that’s small potatoes. I’d rather date either of these people than most of the ones replying in this thread.
