Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Hey man, it's etchazz. He is friends with PhDs and film critics. His opinionmatters.

The belief that Tom Cruise hasn't made a good movie in 20 years is one of the worst film opinions I've ever heard.

Minority Report, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, Mission Impossible 3 and 4, Collateral are all great. Even his crappier action movies are entertaining.

all those movies you just mentioned sucked.

Oh, so he is kinda a badass. Well, doesn't seem like many film critics agree with him or his friends.

I like Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, and Collateral just fine.

I like Vanilla Sky too although that one is closer to the "bad" category.

Minority Report can eat my ass.

Good movie! Both the Wife and I liked it. 8/10 easily. It's kind of cool that I have a wife who likes action/martial arts/sci fi movies.

And I don't know who said chick flicks are the future for the industry, but I think a look at the top 20 all time disagrees with that argument:

I count 12 that are not chick flicks/kids movies.

*edit* - Guess I caused a bit of a derail. My bad.

Nah.

That's whoever posts that list adjusted for inflation.

Lion king , toy story etc are considered chick flicks? I would say most animated movies as general/everyone audience, especially pixar movies.

Saw this in an afternoon show, decent 8/10 film but it never went deep enough to really hook an audience or justify a $170m budget. Gave a few good war movie scenes, then teased a full action and battle movie, took a sharp turn into sci-fi, paid lip service to a not-really romance and then just went with plot flow while leaving the earlier elements behind.

Camera focus fubared two minutes in so they restarted the movie and gave out free passes, so can't complain there.

This lapsus brings a smile to my face. It's like deep down you believe the movie is filmed live and direct for the audience.

Maybe I was secretly giving a call out to Valkyrie and waiting for the next generation of grammar nazi to appear.

Yeah that's pretty much what I thought. Even you know all of your posts are terrible. Go back and read through your post history and ask yourself, if someone else made those posts, wouldn't you think that person has trouble making coherent points? Also, that person probably uses terribly outdated memes because they have trouble coming up with original thoughts.

Heh, so Tarrant you are just going to let him continue to mouth off, correct? Takes two to tango sir. Just search this guys last 20 posts all trolls.
What's really funny is if you look at both our post historys side by side, he is the exact person he is telling me I am. Is that what they call projection? I think so

Well little one, it is your lucky day because Royality is going to give you some attention.
Let's take your 458 posts since 2012, not one of them adds to anything. This is what are you complaining about correct? They're all carbon copies of the same thing, you playing off someone elses comment with a sarcastic remark.

If you look at my history, I am very active in many areas on the site. I currently update all the Fighting game thread, Contribute to the game discounts thread on a regular basis, Was the only one helping out on the FF14 healer thread, and I'm also quite decent at Hearthstone coaching the people that have messaged me privately with decks, and strats.

Out of gaming, I've done countless movie, comic, art, and book reviews dating all the way back to FOH. Starting many threads, and posting content before anyone else.Hell I used to run the original Netflix thread. Not to mention all the VR content I deliver in the Rift thread.

I've also have done a tad of Nerd Slaying on the side. , and sometimes I do like long walks on the beach.




But really none of that matters. What does matter is that I'm the one that people will remember on this board, and who are you again? ;}

You obviously have a real hard time following directions. I asked you to link a single good post. Look, I will make it easier for you in case you aren't sure how to link a post. You obviously can quote, so why don't you repost some what you think are your best posts here in quotes.
