I just watched Chappie ..mainly because of the horrible reviews.

I’d love to see Alien get its “Fury Road” but I just don’t think it’ll ever happen.

Is there a film series that sits on this steep a decline of quality? I mean Alien is an absolute masterpiece, borderline art house but in the same series of films we’ve got Alien Ressurection, the AvP films and the abominable…

Elysium may have been dumb, but it was still better than Chappie. Mostly because I didn't want every character in Elysium to die.

Thank goodness Escape from New York is in there. I love that film and everything about it.

She was also pretty great on her guest starring role in Sons of Anarchy where she played a dirt bag child porn film maker. Plus that was also the return of Walton Goggins as Venus, which was always great.

Everyone should watch Carnivale. It is perhaps the most original thing HBO has ever put on the air, and Adrienne Barbeau is one of many highlights.

Of course, if you really want to see the Ultimate Crossover, then you need The Ring vs The Grudge vs Freddy vs Jason vs Ash vs Godzilla vs Mothra.

Let them fight!

Yes! I always felt like Shamalyan’s proposed titles for his unbreakable trilogy: unbreakable, breakable, broken, is in its microcosm a great arc for a superhero trilogy

I think my problems started around Pa Kent’s heroic “Maybe you should have let a bus full of children die just to protect yourself” speech.

And Pa Kent telling Clark that he shouldn't have saved the drowning school bus or than Lois went hiking up a mountain in sub zero temps with a north face jacket, uggs and a Burberry scarf after she was told she would freeze to death in minutes if she left the campsite at night. The movie was a pure train wreck

This! People focus on the wrong issue in this flick. I understand the narrative reason for killing Zod. I don’t understand the Pa Kent character assassination.

Exactly!

Yeah, Pa Kent was the real miscalculation-

Totally agree. There is no scenario where I’m going to risk my life for the family pet. My kids need me and I can get them another dog or ten dogs.

You and your goddamn mind grapes.

As I've said, my problem with the movie is not the ending. Superman has killed Zod in the comics before. My problem was the Pa Kent Tornado scene. That was just stupid.

Dieselpunk, I think. Like an entire world built out of SkyCaptain and the World of Tomorrow, which was beautiful, whatever other defects that film may or may not suffer from.

It's dieselpunk, actually. Shit like Crimson Skies and Sky Captain.
