    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    Your inability to comprehend is not a declaration of victory. They even set it up in JP III that Alan and Ellie are together, with kids, because that's what the audience is expecting. Because it's obvious to most intelligent people. Then they pull the ol' switch-eroo and have the real father...

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    This guy goes much more in-depth than I have the patience for here. But this explains the allegory behind Jurassic Park perfectly, and why the sequels can't match it.

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    It's true they aren't married, but they are together. Ian even asks at one point if they're together, Alan confirms, and at that point Ian backs off his flirtations. Again, these are changes made for the movie.

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    Yeah, I don't know who put it in there, but it's there. Spielberg obviously knows how to make a great movie, hence why Crichton's stories tend to suck with other directors. Spielberg made many changes, mostly for the better. For more symbolism, there's a great example when they first arrive on...

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    To clarify, since it's not meant to be that noticeable to the general audience, the real story of JP is reluctance of fatherhood. Alan starts out not liking kids. "They're smelly", and he scares the shit outta that kid in the opening with the raptor claw. Ellie, on the other hand, wants kids...

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    That's because they all lack subtext. The first was an allegory for preparing for fatherhood, with Alan Grant being the protagonist, all under the guise of a dinosaur movie. The rest have just been monster movies with nothing really deeper to say.

    Lost Ark Online

    Yeah, I've been looking forward to Scouter and Reaper. I think that's contributing to the fatigue now knowing they won't be around any time soon.

    Count me in as one of those barely hanging on. I hit 1415 today, watched a couple of Valtan videos to learn it, and I'm like "do I really want to put in the effort?"

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The buck stops with the director. Don't like the acting. Blame the director. It's their job to explain what they want, rehearse, and do as many takes as necessary to get the performance needed. Often times a director will make a shitty actor parrot a line spoon fed to them to get it done. A...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    I feel bad for the actors. The directing, cinematography, editing, and writing are amateur hour. The story itself is interesting, but damn, the execution of it all..... I've seen better fanfic.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    A sequel done right, for once. While not as good as the original, it definitely delivered.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Story is good. Dialogue is iffy at times. Director is not good. 3rd Sister was a miscast. She comes across as someone pretending to be evil instead of actually being evil. The best acting comes from the legacy characters. Obi Wan, Bail, and Owen.

    You guys fell for the studio hype. This wasn't directed by Peter Jackson. He was just a producer. Was directed by this guy for who knows what reason.... Christian Rivers - IMDb

    The Batman

    Probably the most believable Bruce Wayne I've seen. He actually seems like someone who's fucked up and is acting out to prevent others experiencing the trauma he went through. Other than that, there's not to say. Was decent with some good elements, but I won't be thinking about this a day from...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    It's pretty obvious. She has the midsection of someone who has carried another human inside her. For reference, pre-motherhood. It's why some women complain about children ruining their bodies. It's hard to go back to this once it's been rearranged internally.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

    Whenever Big Phoenix posts, I can't help but see the neighbor from American Beauty. He tries so hard to be this stereotypical gay hating, white supremacist. But really, underneath it all, he just wants a big kiss from Kevin Spacey to let him know he doesn't need to project any more. You hate...

    They do take a stab at Rian Johnson and "Mary Sues" in this, which was pretty funny.

    Scream (2022)

    It started out as a self-aware, meta deconstructive take on horror movies. But watching the first now, it feels closer to Scary Movie than perhaps it should. It's more funny than it is scary.

    Scream (2022)

    Binged all recently in prep for this. The first is still the best, although it comes across as straight parody now. The rest, including this, are fine. Nothing really special, but worth a watch each.

    Does that include the freedom for a woman to decide what to do with her body? Cuz last I checked, 'rightest' don't tend to like that freedom very much. Or what about same sex marriage? Freedom still your thing, or nah? How about drug use? If I want to smoke weed or do a line off a hooker's ass...

    When viewed through the lens of Christianity, any other religion is no bueno. When viewed through the lens of Islam, Christianity is wrong. You've got your bias, they've got there's, so what's your point? This isn't exactly breaking news. Oh, let me guess, yours is right and everyone else is...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    If you actually read what I wrote instead of trying to score internet points you would see that I said it was "good, not great." And I listed its issues (i.e. lackluster 3rd act, no storyboarding, etc.). I would rank the Matrix movies in their release order.

    Don't Look Up (2021)

    Not even close to accurate. The big bad "Hollywood" is made up of both sides. What you're upset with are the writers, and good luck changing that. Artists (writers, singers, painters, etc.) tend to be liberals, just like farmers, critics, and the military tend to be conservatives. A liberal...

    I'm convinced you guys literally don't know shit about these movies. It wouldn't be so bad if you just went on with your lives like normal fucking people do when something isn't for them, yet you feel entitled enough to shit on them when you're too daft to see what's right in front of you...
