You couldn't make that shit up.  :lol:

Well presumably someone could. It was a movie, no? :unsure:

Feeling awfully literal today?  :hmm:

I'm keeping my hands to myself. :angry:

It seems to me the new Star Trek movies are dead after the last one failed at the box office.

Pity. I thought Beyond was pretty good.

I haven't seen it, but most people I know seem to agree with you. Into Darkness was pretty awful so I gave this one a skip. Will pick it up on video.

In the least shocking news of the day, Disney's CEO has just confirmed they will keep pumping Star Wars movies after they finish the current saga+3 standalones in 2020.

The cow must be milked.
Not a big surprise.  They keep talking of that TV series they want to do, to.  I'm intrigued.

At least they are movies in an IP I'm interested in...

I think that Disney is up to the challenge of making us sick of Star Wars.

I didn't hate the last movie, but there are many ways it could have been better.  A bit more originality wouldn't have hurt.  I hope the next movies will be better.

Watching A Story of Violence. Good thriller, but it's kinda weird to see a Viggo Mortensen flick with a Howard Shore soundtrack playing on the background, it's like Aragorn fled Middle Earth and now runs a diner in Indiana.  :hmm:

Also, Maria Bello is uber-MILFish in this.

A Story of Violence is a good movie.

The Magnificent Seven, comes out this weekend I believe. A remake of an old western right? Should I watch the original and ruin the new one for myself? :unsure:

IIRC they only take the very basic premise of the movie (a town hires some gunslingers to protect themselves from a band of outlaws), which is pretty generic anyway.

Watch Seven Samurai, the original original.

Watch also the Clone Wars episode "Bounty Hunters" which is a Star Wars remake of the Japanese original.

Recommended viewing order: Seven Samurai (ideally the 207 minute cut), Magnificent Seven, Bounty Hunters.

Watch Seven Samurai, the original original.

It's not like Magnificent Seven is a bad movie though.  It's in fact a very good classic of the genre.

Watch both.

A Story of Violence is a good movie.

Finished it, good little film indeed. William Hurt stole the show in his single scene. Maria Bello stole my heart.
