I would love a sequel with just McCarthy and Statham spitting vulgarities at each other

I would argue that the two main characters were not quite regular people though. Both had careers in the spy industry, although as paper pushers, and Dan Aykroyd’s character was actually extremely competent at spywork.  Loved that movie.

Once the tax law kicked in I was so startled by how much less money was being withheld for taxes I immediately increased the amount. I normally end up owing and my situation is one where it is highly doubtful I will see much if any of a decrease in the taxes I owe. A lot of people who don’t pay as much attention to…

First he has to deal with those beef jerky motherfuckers and now this!

The messed up thing is how much Streep is featured in the marketing.  I have no interest in these films but I assumed that she was the lead in this one as well.  I can imagine people going in thinking the same thing.  I would be pissed.

I’m sure the budget for this was kept low. It’s based on a show that’s on non-stop on Cartoon Network and probably has limited appeal beyond families and kids, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it pulls in a lot of teens and twenty-somethings.  

I was pretty disappointed with Lego Batman.  Perhaps my expectations were too high after Lego Movie.  It has gotten better on repeat viewings but I have no problem believing the Teen Titans movie is better, or at least funnier.

The Teen Titans Go!/Young Justice crossover (but not really) episode was a thing of beauty. “Oh, nothing. Just thinking about my dead parents. So tragic.”  

Aren’t those textbook examples of hating something NOT on it’s own merits?

I started watching it because my kids liked it and I found myself laughing at it more than them. They’d get all the kids jokes but there are so many jokes aimed squarely at adults. It reminds me of the old Looney Tunes.

Pretty sure the climax of Avengers 4 will hinge on someone having a bow and arrow.  Enter Hawkeye.

That’s pretty cold to just take them off the flag only a few years after they were destroyed. I’m assuming some corporate interest was behind this in order to convince Americans they needed new flags.

I doubt it had to do with cowardice rather than the disturbing/terrifying/sad scene had nothing to do with the rest of the film, which was a gentle action-comedy.  The scene had more to do with Infinity War than Ant Man and the Wasp and was properly separated from the rest of the film.

Rather than being a major part of the next Avengers movie, I think this will be how Marvel explains why Ant Man isn’t in it at all.  He’s stuck in the quantum realm while the Avengers fix the universe.  

And now we know why Ant Man will not appear in the next Avengers movie.  He will be stuck in the quantum realm but once everything is reset he’ll be fine.  It’s a pretty brilliant way of keeping him out of the action.

The second one’s budget makes sense if the studio expected it not to do as well as the original. Once it was a proven franchise (they just released a prequel TV series on Netflix) they really should have thrown a bit more money at this one.

Following in the tradition of Madagascar 3 then.  Good to know.

That was Despicable Me 3 for me.

Yes, and the toll activating that strength takes on her body isn’t made very clear in the show (other than her passing out after her first murder).

It was a smart choice to hit the end of Abaddon’s Gate if they thought there wouldn’t be a season 4, but there were ways they could have kept the last episode from feeling so rushed. Ashford’s turn didn’t make a lot of sense. Up until that point he may have been the most rational person on the ship. He even had solid…
