Funnily, I thought Venom was great. If only we can have a great Spider-Man movie.

I don't feel like writing anymore so I'll just link this video, hope you can understand what I am coming from.



TBH you fervently defend the MCU so I doubt you will.

Love that Cindi condescending attitude. I don't fervently defend the MCU. I don't give a shit about it. I'm just not an annoying jaded nerd like you.

And since we're posting videos now. Here's mine.



And we've had amazing Spider-man movies. They were called Spider-Verse and Spider-man 2.

Would I like it?

Maybe. It’s kinda like Mandy, if at the end Nic Cage had just hung out with the hippies and did some drugs and sex and then went back home.

a Nintendo Power provides a vital clue to solving the mystery.

Feel like I'm the only person on the planet who just isn't a huge Spider-Man fan;  or at least not a fan of teeny-bopper Spider-Man.

I mean Holland does an OK job at it I just don't really enjoy the character much; the aww-shucks Mr Stark stuff is jut grating to me.

Yeah, I don't like Spiderman much either, but Holland is charming enough to where the movie version of him I've really enjoyed so far.

Should have made a Shadow movie instead.

[Madrun Badrun]

Well the trailer made me want to watch it

[ToxicAdam]

If millenials reward that shyte with a good box office, you deserve all the garbage that follows.

It looked like a movie that was shelved in 2005 and Paramount just won the rights to distribute it. All it was missing was Dean Cain as the lead "good guy" and Don Lafontaine doing the voice over for the trailer.

[Philip Cardgage]

I hope Ben Scwartz made enough money off it to never have to work again. Cause chances are, he won't.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Boy, that sure was a trailer for a movie that exists.

[Joe Molotov]

After mulling Under the Silver Lake around in my head overnight, I think that it was a pretty good movie. Maybe a little too much Donnie Darko-esque iam14andthisisdeep for some people, but if you're in the mood for such a thing, I'd recommend it. I've been to the subreddit and looked at all the fan theories and clue chasing, which is funny because the entire movie is about a guy chasing insane clues from cereal boxes and backwards-played records and these people are basically doing the same thing. It's QAnon: The Movie. The message of the movie seems to be that we want to find ascribe meaning and find connections to things that happen in our lives that are out of our control, but there probably is none. And if there was one, would it make us happy? If QAnon found the final decisive piece of the puzzle that proved Hillary and Obama killed Seth Rich, would your life actually be enriched in any way? You still gotta go to work the next day and pay the bills, only now knowing that all your paranoid fears are justified.

Anyway, you should watch it, TVC. It's only a fiver at Amazon or the VOD site of your choice. Cheaper than a ticket to Endlame.

That trailer gives me life.

I liked it. I'm glad he didn't do another horror movie and I'm happy he made a movie about all the weird shit in Hollywood. Garfield was great in it too.

He’s about at the same level as James Mardsen is now

[Stro]

James Mardsen is on West World, HBO's other current show people claim is the best show ever but is actually incredibly stupid and terribly written that everyone has forgotten all the plot points from weeks after the season ended.

Dean Cain in 2005 was deep into made for TV/DTV movies and doing one off roles on long running shows and being the star of shows so shitty they got cancelled mid season and didn't even finish airing.

The Brain (1988)



I'd been meaning to see this one for a while because of how hilarious the brain looks. It's definitely a throwback to 50's creature features, when all you needed was a rubber suit and a dream. The plot is basically It Conquered the World + Invasion of the Body Snatcher. Our hero is rebellion teen Jim Majelewski, who gets sent to see the local tv doctor ("He wouldn't be on TV if he wasn't good.") to cure his antisocial behavior. The doc's tv show and psychiatric institute are all just a front for a giant, evil brain from outer space to suck up our brainwaves and take over our planet. Everyone that watches the show either falls under the brain's hypnotic suggestion or are driven insane by monstrous hallucinations. Jim discovers the plot while he's at the institute and escapes to warn others, but most of the town has already fallen under the brain's thrall and now the doctor's tv show (ironically named "Independent Thought") is about to go nationwide.

The best part of this movie was definitely the brain. The brain was amazing. I like how the actress who was only in the movie to get topless for one scene and only has three movie roles listed on IMDB, her IMDB bio pic is just her getting eaten by the brain.



This movie also had the guy that played the evil doctor from The Re-Animator, this time playing....the evil doctor. That's just good casting.
2.5/5

I may have purchased Sonic Rush for my DS

This is a really good argument for the look of Sonic in the new movie.

Did the MARVEL COMIC BOOKS FAN GEEKS complain when mighty THOR didnt look like THIS



No, they accepted that the version that is portrayed to them in the movie(S) is the real Thor version.

Can we please have more Fast and Furious car movies

[Philip Cardgage]

The only real Thor was Vincent D'Onofrio in Adventures in Babysitting.

Yeah, I'd say it's more a circa-2005 Sean William Scott movie.

At first I was thinking Brendan Fraser but I won't disrespect him like that.

under the silver lake

I wish I liked this more, but it's still worth watching as a curiosity, and the first half hour or so is pretty great. You can see Lynch and De Palma's fingerprints throughout the movie, but it never really pulls it together. I'd like to read a synopsis of what this mess was going for. That said, the movie remains watchable and intriguing. I think the trick to saving this would have been focusing on tightening the mystery and noir-y elements up and toning down the up-its-own-assedness.

If they can time travel and their goal is to travel to a point where all the stones are why don't they just go to the part where Quill shows pussy emotions and hold him back? That seems the most efficient.  It would be awkward when they have to give him back his power glove a second later.

My love for cult cinema has been rejuvenated lately. 

I watched Candyman last night. One of the few great horror movies of the 90's. Tony Todd is terrifying without even having to do anything, delivering lines that almost drip honey. When he whispers "Be my victim" to Virginia Madsen while a somber Phillip Glass score plays, it makes most mainstream horror movies, filled with scare chords and cats jumping out of closets, seem pretty silly.
4/5

I listen to the Candyman soundtrack at work all the time. Prob in my top 10 work albums.

Endgame was pretty good, but infinity war is the superior movie. Better action, less dumb sad superhero stuff.
