    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I don't know when I'm going to have the time to see this fucking thing so I just want one thing spoiled: Did they finally replace occasionally-smashes when he's not sad Hulk-lite with actual Hulk who doesn't finish the job until he's wearing the asshole linings of his enemies as a skinsuit?

    Tolkien (2019)

    That’s completely unsurprising. They are fiercely protective of Tolkien’s work and skewer anything they’re not involved with, Jackson’s movies included.

    So did Pod just hit puberty at 25 or what?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Oh, good. More physics bitching about a God damn Star Wars movie. Please let's fill up more pages with fretting about the gravimetric properties of laser space bombs. Teaser is definitely more compelling than anything that came out of TLJ, but then so are parts of the Holiday Special. Star Wars...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    There’s almost never a reason to buy a cross-platform game on Switch unless you plan to play often in portable mode.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm surprised it's mostly dead in here this soon after the new Smash Bros release. This is definitely the most fun I've had playing a Smash game. On the surface it might seem like little more than a refreshed Wii U port, but there are ton of small to moderate improvements that add up to a much...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    It's odd to me how so many people here evidently never played a GTA or the original RDR... Anyway, this game pushed me into buying my very first Xbox ever. I've been dragging my feet on buying a UHD Blu-Ray player for a while, and I managed to score a new One X w/ NBA 2K '19 and RDR2 for around...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I take it you didn't actually read the article. The title is just bullshit clickbait. Anyway, maybe this one will okay, good, or even great, but the sad thing is, I don't care. My excitement level for Star Wars is at an historic low. I see TLJ pop up on Netflix every time I log in, and I still...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I caught this at a matinee today while on a family shore trip. It was fine. I mean, it should have been released in 1985 as an ABC Sunday night special, but it was fine. Han was completely miscast, but the dude did all he could to make it work. I was expecting much worse out of him. Also, are...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Han's casting killed it. Even if the film turned out to be fantastic, too large of a segment was immediately turned off by the actor. Some of those people might have been reeled back in with universally positive word of mouth, but too many potential viewers took a look at that guy and relegated...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Lucas isn't a hack exactly. He just needs to be seriously diluted. Concentrated Lucas is unhealthy. I'd welcome him back to the fold as long as he came included with a good director, editor, cinematographer, and a producer that didn't spend all of his/her time sucking George's balls.

    Roseanne

    It's not even really a right-leaning show. Roseanne herself is the only vocal Trump supporter on the show, and even then it's barely mentioned and the other characters argue the opposition viewpoint when it is. It's like calling Star Wars pro-murder because Darth Vader is the most memorable...

    Roseanne

    I don't care where you land on politics, shes's a moron. I was enjoying the show. John Goodman should be allowed to roll out of a third story window and land on her face.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    They aren't getting nearly the money they used to from me. I contributed one movie ticket to TLJ, which remains the only Star Wars movie I haven't bothered to watch multiple times. I haven't even bought the Blu Ray, and I own the fucking Phantom Menace on VHS, DVD and Blu Ray. Star Wars as I...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    FWIW, that Canadian ET reviewer who got famous for ripping TLJ to shreds liked this. The overall sense I'm getting is that it's an above average heist movie containing Star Wars things...there's very little that's blatantly garbage, very little that's truly great. Maybe it'll be one of those...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    You made the decision to go to a giant nerd fest years in the making on opening night. What did you expect?

    Venom (2018)

    He definitely wasn't just an evil Spiderman. He was one of the more layered villains in the comics, particularly when considering the background of Brock and the symbiote and their relationship with Parker/Spiderman. This just looks like a very vanilla take on the character.
  21. Z

    Venom (2018)

    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...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

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

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    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:

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

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

    Roseanne

    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...

    Roseanne

    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...

    Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)

    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.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    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.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    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...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    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...

    The Walking Dead

    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.

    Black Panther (2018)

    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.

    Black Panther (2018)

    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.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    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...
