I've seen clips. Don't get the attraction.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The Brain

I know people who are huge R&M fans. I don't quite get it yet.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Assassin's Creed.

Well, that was bad.  Worst than I expected.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

They should stop making videogame films.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

But they want Viper's money.

Admiral Yi

Independence Day II: Same Old Shit.

That sucked.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

Guy Ritchie tries to make a movie about King Arthur the way Guy Ritchie does his movies.  Picture Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels with Excalibur and King Arthur, but no Merlin.  Add a dose of Lord of the Rings.  Shake well.  Enjoy the mess.

Another bad movie.

I should just get back to work.

I'd go so far as to say dire, thought it was as bad as I guessed, gave up 1/2 way through.

I don't know why but we saw that as movie after Chrismas with extended  family when it came out. My aunt said she was surprised by the end...

Well they did kill Hitler in Inglorious Basterds, so why no this?

Saw Dunkirk at IMAX screening yesterday. A technical masterpiece. And no frivolous characterizations.

Knowing the ending is what killed Valkyrie for me. They spend so much time building suspense and shit and you know all along that they are going to fail, so... who cares? And they never succeed in making me care enough about the characters to make up for that.

Agreed.

Yeah, that's what ruins it for me when it comes to a lot of historical documentaries.  I mean, all those hours of Ken Burns' The Civil War...for that ending?
