My options to watch on the return flight:

Godzilla: Bleck. Sounds stupid
X:Men Days of Future Past: No idea. Probably top of my list at the moment.
Maleficient: Meh
La Petite Reine: Seems interesting, but after this last week I despise the French with a burning passion. So I am torn.
Neighbors: Looks stupid
Spiderman 2: Never been much of a fan of the Spiderman movies, and frankly, I am mostly fucking sick and tired of the super hero genre.
The Other Woman: Maybe.


Now taking recommendations...

Finished Breaking Bad.

What an epic masterpiece.

Yup. I was very impressed that they managed to wrap it all up, and in a dramatically satisfying way.

Indeed, though a bit more epilogue would have been nice. And the series had it all - drama, character, a plot of greed and pride worthy of Greek tragedy and awesome cinematography.

Also, it appears to be the only TV show that has a 10/10 episode with Ozymandias ("Ratings: 10/10 from 54.374 users") on IMDB.

Although I was sad that they killed off [spoiler]Mike. He deserved better.[/spoiler] :(

Looks to be the proper pick from that list. Plus it has Jenny in it.

Haven't seen any of those yet(assume you mean Garfield Spiderman and not Maguire), but would also go with XMen. For what that's worth.  :sleep:

:lol: Montreal.

Ideologue

X-Men 7 is the right move.

I don't think you'd be the demographic for The Other Woman, but I dunno. :unsure:  In any event, it's not meant to be any good even for people predisposed to enjoy it.

As for the rest: Maleficent sucks, Godzilla has some seriously boring stretches but is overall very good, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a movie I loved, but man kills.

Dunno about the French Quebecois film, never heard of it.

CountDeMoney

Honestly, out of the choices on that list, I'd just put on the earphones and listen to some tunes instead.

Ideologue

Yes, but you hate fun, specifically fun in the form of popcorn movies made after 1992.

Hey, I like Seth Rogan movies, but why would I want to watch one edited for content because derspiess' snot-nosed kids are on the flight too?


Maladict

Watched Castles in the Sky, on Wattson Watt's development of radar.
It's an ok film, Eddie Izzard does a fine job as usual.
But the less said about Tin McInnerny as Churchill, the better.

The airplane edits are indeed terrible. I never watch any film I'm genuinely interested in, because I don't want to have it ruined.

Ideologue

I've never been on an airplane.  I didn't know they still edited stuff, at least when it's not just a screen at the front of the cabin.  Or is it just for time?  If so, the airplane version of Godzilla might be a great film.

I don't think they are edited. I was watching something with a very surprising amount of nudity on an airplane once...

Yeah, that was shockingly bad, worth watching again just for that.  :D
