TV/Movies Megathread

The new ninja turtles flick made a killing at the box office, so a sequel was just inevitable.

[Liep]

CinemaSins take on the phantom menace is spot on. Depressingly it needs two episodes.

Yeah, I've seen. Still a lower "score" than 300 reached (1,888).

Disney will lift the review embargo on Star Wars this Wednesday. That's the day I'll turn internet off until Friday.

'The Double' Richard Gere* in Washington based spy flick, damn what a steam pile of.

If the FSB/GRU et al were as epic as portrayed in the film I think the USA and Western world would have ceased to have exist by now. 




* Martin Sheen turned up on set to sign for his actor's union welfare check.

Jurassic World. Fun.

Aloha.  Bradley Cooper is a computer genius/project manager/gun for hire/I don't know what who goes to Hawaii to help Bill Murray launch a space weapon.  There he bangs Emma Stone while Rachel McAdams throws herself at him.  Some blah blah back story about native Hawaiians worshiping the sky.  This movie is a mess.  I figure all the actors took a look at the script and said to themselves, "well this movie will be shit but they're paying me and it's a location shoot in Hawaii."

I noticed they used the same public housing complex that was used in Kingsman in a movie about architect Jude Law banging Bosnian immigrant Juliette Binoche and saving her son from a life of crime.

Tried to watch Star Wars Rebels tonight, because Star Wars. Quit after one episode and a half. Too stupid.

Some decent Star Wars vehicle porn though. I smiled a little when these showed up:

That about sums it up.  Pretty heavy on the political undertones(well, not that under, really) too: "commercialization of space is evil", "Hawaii should be independent, even if that means being run by monarchist wannabes in muscle shirts".

[Razgovory]

Writing Obama as a sell out was kind of weird too.

Yeah, murdering the top 1% of the world was a little unsettling.

My first thought was that it was a Bradley Cooper self financed vanity project.

Bit the bullet and watched a couple more eps of Rebels, which happened to be much better. Will probably end up watching the rest now.

Had completely forgotten they were making an Independence Day sequel
