I agree with this. A lot of the reason for Venom working as an interesting character ties directly into the way he initially spun off of Parker/Spiderman. Without that in the mix, I just don't see him being nearly as effective as a compelling character. Instead we have yet another lab-coated...

That being true and this movie being bad are not mutually exclusive.

If this movie does indeed turn out to not be total dogshit, they need to have a creepy CGI'd young Harrison Ford show up at the end and assume this goofy testicle's identity.

I still have that game. It came with this:

It's hard to get excited for a Han Solo movie when the worst thing about it looks to be Han Solo.

It's a live audience, not a track, so it's at least slightly less grating. And Roseanne was decidedly progressive in the old shows and in reality. I don't think that's changed much. You can fall almost anywhere on the political spectrum and still love/hate Trump depending on what bits of his...

While it was slightly clunky at first, I was expecting far worse. They got the past the awkwardness quickly and settled into the old show brilliantly. I'm looking forward to watching more. And John Goodman deserves heaps of praise for his performance. He's come across as knocking on death's...

I'm pretty confident that Betty Aberlin was responsible for my first pre-adolescent boner. She was a total knock-out when she was younger and managed to hang in there pretty well for a while.

It's not just you. Someone just took the original trailer and ran it through frame interpolation software, which always results in various levels of garbage.

I finally got around to this. I kept my expectations moderately tempered and ended up enjoying it. There were a few too many clunky one-liners, and a few too many immediate tonal shifts from SERIOUS BUSINESS to the writers realizing it'd been more than 8 seconds since something silly happened...

Wrong. This movie was bad, but at least Luke was being true to form. He was a whiney shit in the first two movies and golly-gee'd his way through a lot tough stuff with help from the Force and a dead guy. My theory is after Vader lopped off his hand, Luke bitched out and flew to his lonely...

lol Just wait until the kid is born. What's an "opening night"?

Haven't watched it yet, but I'm hoping this happens. She's been hanging in there with this snoozefest, but some cracks were starting to form last season, so maybe I'll get lucky.

Two blacks on the same hockey team? I don't buy it.

Yeah, but that doesn't make the topic any less boring. And scores of God awful movies have raked in piles of money, and even more great movies have been box office bombs. Shitty sports teams almost never go all the way.

I will never understand the obsession people who work outside of the movie industry have with ticket sales. It may be one of the single most uninteresting topics on the planet relative to the amount it's discussed.

I just don't understand these people. How do they not realize that statements like that just provide nourishment to the frenzied dorks who see SJWs in their bowls of breakfast cereal each morning? Edit: Shit, I fell for the stupid clickbait title and comment by Blakkheim. I'm an idiot. His...

But was this movie a movie?

Sure. Maybe I'll even do it again, in edited form this time.

It sure is heartwarming to see this being played out over the last several pages right here.

All of the nonsense swirling around this movie from all sides brings into depressing focus everything that I can't stand about modern humanity. This planet is stupid.

I didn't expect Venom to be shown in the first teaser, but I also didn't expect it to be completely uninteresting. That was about as generic a series of trailer shots as could be strung together.

That's just saying that the players that have been questionable are all in. The Eagles are still missing several key players that were hit with season-enders months ago. It's pretty remarkable that they still have a reasonable chance of winning the Superbowl.

Gross. It looks like Power Rangers with cats.

You manage an upper echelon sales force of 50 people and only make $100k? Do you sell circa 1998 Vikings memorabilia?

I need a shower after reading this, and I just took a shower.

I rewatched Rogue One recently and really enjoyed it. It's not without its flaws, and it's frustrating just how much better it could have been with a few relatively moderate tweaks, but as a "side" Star Wars story it's still pretty great. I definitely prefer it to 7 and 8.

Reaching into my prequel memory banks isn't easy, but doesn't Yoda smuggly call him Darth Sidious to his face before their CG battle fest? Also, Disney is a public company. If they set expectations at $10 billion in profits and deliver $9.999 billion, almighty Wall Street will still punish them.

Yes, you're wrong. They jumped to hyperspace in between.

Oh, shut the fuck up. The score for TFA was too tame, and probably ths most low key of his Star Wars efforts, but it was by no means bad. TLJ's score was great. It may be the single best part of the film. Disconnect your nerd ragings for a few minutes and give it a fair listen. I went through...

Why can't it be both?

I certainly seem to have enjoyed this more than the majority here, but in looking back it's pretty clear that repeat viewings will not do this movie any favors. I thought the direction they took Luke was mostly fine. It was one of the few subversive elements that worked well for me. Whether...

In all seriousness, I really like Adam Driver in these. If only he could be swapped in for Anakin in the prequels I might not have to go into a meditative state before I watch the OT to ensure I don't accidentaly picture Hayden in the Vader suit.

I finally watched it. I went in with pretty much zero expectations after reading the onslaught of dramatically different reactions. Despite some prequel level flaws, I enjoyed the hell out of it. It should have been at least 45 minutes shorter, Laura Dern's character could have been 100x better...

So who here is going to break the news to her husband? Roger Barton (film editor) - Wikipedia

The only reason I'm wary to see it is that it'll spoil the mystery. I'm finding the aggressively devisive reactions fascinating. I don't think I've ever seen such an even mixture of "It's fucking awesome/It's meh/It's rancid shit" before, even among people who are normally in agreement with each...

Man, that's like sitting through Showgirls and nodding off during all of the nudity.

As far as I'm concerned, Star Wars began in 1977 and ended in 1983. The rest is just expensive EU.

I almost don't want to watch this now, and not just because of the negative reactions. The titanic shift from seemingly endless glowing reviews to seemingly endless terrible ones is just fascinating to witness. It has to be a first for a movie like this. Even two buddies of mine who are both...
