*SPOILER*

Tech journalists keep harping on this as if the problem is that people just don’t realize how pervasive the technology is, or how intrusive it is into our personal lives. So they keep printing this articles and shouting “SEE!! Now that we’ve provided this analysis of how many times your phone sends your location to…

Hahahahahahahaha

“It’s even nicer to say “Honey, can you help me carry in the groceries”. Alexa isn’t much good for that.”

“And? That’s the point of technology.”

EXACTLY! This whole article is premised on the notion that I, as a consumer, should care. If some anonymous person is able to hear me listening to 80s music all day and cooking dinner, or chatting with my girlfriend, or hearing me play video games/watch movies, I literally could not care less. Hell, I’d be happy to…

I came down to the comments section just to make this point. The guy had signed on like 2 days earlier, and so they came in and did a quick screen test for the character, which shows how excited everyone was for the project. Not only that, but they tried to really give the fans something cool to get excited about…

The Quiet place ending was pretty much “make a lot of noise so that they’re distracted, and then shoot them with a shotgun”, right? I only saw it the one time, way back when it came out, but I just remember thinking “wait a second,  nobody ever thought to defend the earth by shooting these damn things? Isn’t this…

Agreed. The Cavill thing was so unbelievably obvious that I kept thinking “he must ACTUALLY be a good guy b/c they’re just beating us over the head with how clearly bad he is.” And what the heck happened to that villain from the prior movies? He went from being an anarchist who wanted to destroy the world order and…

Thank you! I had thought I was the only one that recognized how weak this entry into the franchise was. Tom Cruise did his own stunts! Which is cool! But that doesn’t make it a great movie, and yet whenever people talk about how great it is 90% of the time all they do is fawn over how amazing Cruise is.

If you hated The Meg and Rampage then I think maybe you just don’t like silly movies that are trying to be goofy good times. Nothing wrong with that, but saying movies are terrible b/c they’re not the types of movies you subjectively enjoy is odd. It would be like me saying that baseball is an objectively bad sport…

I remember buying the blu ray purely on how great it was supposed to be, and then being furious when it was over that I had been duped into paying $25 or so to own such a garbage film.

Or “The Return of the King is terrible because it relies on FOTR and TT!” The fact that IW had to payoff on all the promises and threads established in more than a dozen other movies and still managed to succeed was an incredibly challenging task, and they nailed it. I don’t understand the whole “it’s not great as a…

“You really didn’t think that helicopter (and than mountaintop) fight went on for ages?”

Didn’t they cut to another scene a few seconds after Thor appeared? I saw a few cuts on youtube where they used the immigrant song for his appearance, and it seemed pretty dang awesome. The only problem I could see is where do you stop it and go back to other music, but since I think the scene with Thor ends almost…

Just watched a bunch of fanmade videos on youtube that do that- it’s waaaaaaaayyyyyyy better. 

Agreed. I didn’t love Fantastic Beasts by any stretch, but it’s not one of the five worst movies of the year. This whole list is less “best of/worst of” and more just “what are the 15 movies we talked about a ton this year?”

I can’t get the praise for MI. The whole movie just seemed like fawning praise of Tom Cruise, likely manufactured by Cruise himself. The action sequences were boring as hell to me precisely because they focused solely on proving to us that “HEY LOOK! THAT REALLY IS TOM CRUISE!!” Doing your own stunts is cool and all,…

“As a standalone movie, BP was better than IW.” That’s the point though. It was a herculean task to somehow pull together all the various threads of all the various Marvel movies and sew them into a coherent story in Infinity War. BP is a perfectly fine standalone movie- nothing great, but nothing terrible either. But…

Blocking call was right. Super fast T on what didn’t appear to initially be much of a freakout was wrong.
