    Ad Astra (2019)

    Liv Tyler is just the worst. I hate her face. Brad Pitt is just the best, I will watch just about any movie he is in. I will say that it makes me a little sad that he is looking old in this trailer - which means I am getting old too. Anyway, there are not enough serious sci-fi movies so any...

    High Life (2018)

    Yeah the trailer makes it look like a psychological horror/thriller set to a mostly redundant sci-fi back-drop. Pattinson has redeemed himself to me long since Twilight - he was awesome in The Rover as well, so one assumes he and Binoche (who I've had a minor crush on since English Patient) are...

    Robert the Bruce (2019)

    The Bruce has gotten fucking fat (I parallel him since the time of Breaveheart) although he looks to have shed a few pounds for the role. And then the trailer showed major roles of kids and I immediately NOPE to a never watch.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Coincidence. The fucking script writers are the problem. And Martin is also complicit. The so called D&D duo are clearly great at adapting given material into a script. Hence the grand success and popularity of the first five seasons. But they are equally as clearly incapable of writing a...

    Chernobyl

    Finished this over the weekend. Fantastic series and leaves me wanting more in a similar vein of mood and pacing and current line-ups come up woefully short. I agree the pet killing was harsh, I had friends that fast forwarded through all those parts, but I watched......while snuggling my...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    It seems to parallel the success of Star Wars a little bit. Lucas didn't have enough Hand to fully control the making of the first three movies so that they turned out well. He clearly had more control in the third, as we see the fucking Ewoks come in and nearly flush the whole fucking series...

    Path of Exile

    Further conspiracy is that the Zana missions are automatically assigned to the map that your account is least statistically oriented to drop. I've had leagues where I have stretched into red maps and still haven't done the second or third Zana mission yet.

    Chernobyl

    We didn't actually do the drills where I grew up in small town, rural, eastern Canada. Although the Russians for sure had a nuke pointed at Halifax Harbor. And those locals had already experienced their own bomb in the form of the Halifax Explosion. Google it to read about the definition of a...

    Chernobyl

    So I have only read this thread to Episode 2 because that is where I got to last night. 11:30, way past my bedtime. This is VERY well done, well acted, well filmed, and uses my favorite method of relating dread and terror - droning, slow, inexorable. We were talking at work about our...

    I thought you actually said you liked a modern Adam Sandler movie, but I must have had a stroke or something. Say it isn't so! Art is so subjective lol!

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah I feel the same way about Preorders. I kind of equate it to paying up in a Free To Play game though - it is more a token of support than anything else. I have preordered only 2 games in my time - World of Warcraft after beta testing it, and Total War Warhammer - the former was worth every...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I want to get behind these guys on this project, I really do. The latest developments make me want to preorder a copy for me and my whole family. But they've already shown at least one softening point through all this, even though they APPEAR to be back to shitposting their way to success...

    I would perhaps be intrigued if Will Smith was NOT a part of this. Focusing on Will Smith is the whole reason everyone loved the world building of the first but didn't really love the movie. Because Will Smith gotta Will Smith and when you put Will Smith in a movie it becomes a movie about...

    Love Death and Robots. Loved it. Well done stuff. I don't think there was a single one I didn't at least reasonably like.

    The Professor and the Madman (2019)

    I cannot actually believe I just thought to myself I may actually enjoy a movie about the drama behind the creation of the English Dictionary. What have I become. But I am old enough (as are most of us here) to remember and love Gibson before the whole Jew fiasco and still watch everything he...

    Well, surprisingly, Mac wasn't half bad in that Wheel of the Worst episode. I still can't bring myself to watch that Warrior's video though, too much if he is 50% of the talking. Still don't like him. I called it on him being Rich Evans's boyfriend - Rich is the Big Spoom.

    Well, my mental capacity for movies of late seems to have degraded to mindless action and horror - but I was a little moved by this trailer. I am intrigued.

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor

    Yeah - I just got a notice that it was released today. Warhammer: Chaosbane. I'm waiting for a bit on reviews because it is fucking $67. Scratch that, I am waiting on a deep sale unless it is a masterpiece. And the first round of reviews are Mixed.

    Rambo V

    All right, I am in. I kinda faded in interest with the last one - it seemed popular more for the glorified (or more realistic) blood and gore, particularly the mounted gun scene, but in general the movie was meh for me. This one looks a little edgier. And I am a complete sucker for a revenge...

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    THIS IS WHY PACIFIC RIM WAS A FAILURE WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RAVING SUCCESS. BECAUSE IT WASN'T! This is also why Hollywood is creatively bankrupt now. If you cannot understand that you can make a slow moving arthouse movie to rave reviews but you can ALSO make a 2 hour kaiju slap-fest to...

    They need to get rid of Culkin. He's so fucking awkward and creepy and does not fit in with the rest of the group AT ALL. All I can figure at this point is he must be Rich Evans new live-in boyfriend, there is no other reason why he has been on semi-regular. That awkward laugh, the overly...

    No kidding, that looks amazing. Now execution will be the question. It's like Empyrion, No Man's Sky, Space Engineers, and Star Citizen had an orgy and Starbase popped out from the pile of sweaty flesh. Also I watched some streams of Void Bastards and put it on my Wishlist as well. Looked fun...

    Men in Black International (2019)

    Noted and agreed. I didn't say I would kick her out of my bed for eating crackers, I just have some weird expectation that she will make me hate her every time she opens her mouth. Is that even a pic of her, her boobies aren't that large?

    The Long Walk (2025)

    Imajica and Weaveworld are in my top 100 fav books of all time. I can't remember if, in my Barker phase, I read Damnation Game but now I think I need to buy a bunch of Barker books for my Kindle.......

    The Long Walk (2025)

    lol so many things I want to say, that have already been said in one form or another by all of you. But I like smelling my own farts so fuck it: Yeah, this short story is one of his best. Shawshank was such a great movie because (1) the acting and direction were top notch and (2) the movie...

    Men in Black International (2019)

    On the one hand, I despise how Hollywood just takes a successful franchise and plugs and plays popular actors to make a buck. It is transparent, disingenuous and completely barren of creativity. That being said, Hemsworth has fucking perfect comedy timing and presence, and I WANT to see him in...

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor

    I played off and on since it came out in Early Access. It was mildly interesting - as you can guess from my name I have been a long time Warhammer fan so I am sucked in to most things Warhammer - and you mix ARPG with Warhammer I will buy. In early access Combat was slow and got boring really...

    Death Stranding

    I have no fucking idea what is going on here, but I want to know more. This looks interesting. I am not one for walking simulators, which this is clearly more than, but even if this was more an interactive movie than a game I think I would be all in.

    Terminator (2019)

    Yeah they just need to ignore all the confusing canon and just go back to the T1/T2 roots. I just posted in the Alien:Covenant thread and this series is similar. Started with sci-fi horror in T1, peaked with cheesy action in T2 (in spite of Furlong and his entire thread in the movie) and then...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    How can at least one person in the business not know that if you capture even a small fraction of the suspense/horror that made 1 so good or the action/fear/bropower that made 2 so good that you would have a license to print money? How can movies like 3 exist (objectionably one of the 10 worst...

    Fucking truth. Netlfix is trying to pad their stats with Bollywood fans, it's insane. Also, as a westerner, I don't get Bollywood, I don't ever WANT to get Bollywood, and want it permanently gone from my sight. I've actually tried watching three times - almost killed me. CW pulling chute...

    Ditto. Post apocalypse, post plague, post environmental collapse, alternate history/future, dystopias, I eat them all up. Through the 90s and early 00's I ate up just about every book on these subjects on the market. And you know what started me on it - Not Mad Max 1 and 2, surprisingly...

    I watched the trailer twice, and if it is more than 4/10 I will eat my shorts. I can't sacrifice myself to watch it for you though, sorry. I think It has a black kid from a terrible YTV young "sitcom" and what looks like a perfect archetype cross section of kids - nerd, anxiety, jock, black...

    Prospect (2018)

    Watched it - I really like the lead actor, he was good in Triple Frontier as well. I liked how the background science fiction in the movie was subtle and never really explained to any extent - you just gathered it through activity and tangential dialogue. Nice to not have it shoved down your...

    Path of Exile

    Oh stop being obtuse. I am annoyed at the RNG in the game, as I do not enjoy the trade aspects. The game has allowed me to glean sufficient entertainment despite that, but the deeper the RNG gets the harder it is maintaining that level. I have never made any bones about the fact that I do not...

    Yes. Yes I am. But thanks for the math lesson. I guess I am just tired of PoE in general I suppose. I just needed some reason to finally pull the trigger.

    Path of Exile

    Well, I think I hit the wall for PoE for a while. Now understand that I am fully aware at how much "gambling" is inherent in PoE's design and philosophy; how much of an rng machine this game has become. But I thought I would do an experiment: I had one T7 and one T8 map not completed on my...
