Well I say image, what I really mean is fantasize.

Anyways you guys all give you're disgusted emoticon posts now, but when Day's of Future Past turns out to be the Chinatown of super hero movies, you'll all be like Bryan couldn't have butt raped that drugged boy.

well uh they can bring back matthew vaughn for the sequel.  all he was accused of doing was impregnating january jones, and casting january jones.

What happened to innocent until proven boy-fucker?

Normally, yes, but this is like the third time these sorts of allegations have come up with Singer. Timing of the lawsuit seems suspect, but I don't think you have such lurid details in your initial salvo unless there's something there. 

[Diunx]

Guys...how old is 17 really?

[Madrun Badrun]

So three allegations make a proof now, eh?  You know the Carthaginians use to sacrifice children for something as silly as appeasing the gods.  I think the least we can do is throw Bryan a few boys for a good xmen movie.

15, 16, 17, who's counting really?

Herman identified the accuser as Michael Egan III. Egan, who is now in his 30s and will appear at a Thursday news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A., was forcibly sodomized by the director when he was 15 in the late-1990s, according to the suit. Singer had promised Egan a role in one of his movies and had numerous sexual encounters with the boy when he was 15 and 16, Herman told The News. Singer also allegedly brought Egan to Hawaii for multiple extended trips when he was 17.

Plus this man was clearly consenting. And the age of consent is even lower in other countries. And the timing is real suspect, why come out with this now, right before a big movie? Especially with X-Men: Apocalypse planned that everyone is massively hyped for. He could have come out with this at any time, but he choose to derail something a lot of people want and believe in. Not to mention a lot of jobs and livelihoods are now threatened because of this. It's selfish really.

[Tasty]

My stance is if Singer raped someone, he should go to prison. Period.

[Diunx]

So was singer giving him dick for birthday?

[Mupepe]

I'll watch the movie.  I might enjoy it.  If he fucked a kid then he should be in prison.  Movie can still be good though.  Maybe it will be.  I don't know.  It's not out.  Don't fucking ask me.  We'll see.

[chronovore]

meh, I'm still super excited

Not as excited as Singer was, I'll bet.

Oculus

I didn't really know anything about this movie other than "evil mirror kills people", which sounded pretty lame tbh, but I decided to check out on a whim based on the positive reviews. I ended up enjoying it it quite a bit, it's a good horror movie. It reminded me a lot of 1404, where you've got an evil entity basically just screwing with the leads, warping their perception of reality, so that they (and the viewer) don't really know what's real and what isn't. Scenes from the past and the present start melding together as the two main characters get more confused. It's very disorienting and intense, once it gets rolling.

It had me cringing a few times too, like when the main girl

You mean 1408, pleb.

I was too busy trying to get back to my chinese girl cartoons to look up whether 1404 was the name of a movie or an Anno game.

[Rahxephon91]

I've seen the Raid 2 twice now. It's just really good.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Minneapolis International Film Festival, here's what I saw.

The Sacrament - another slow build Ti West film, found footage horror that doesn't suck, and is in fact, quite good.
The Strange Color of Your Bodies Tears - Giallo homage that forgets to include plot or character in favor of amazing imagery, would probably have liked it better watching it at home.  Makes a better museum installation piece then a movie.
Flashback Memories 3D - Performance documentary about Japan's greatest rock/jazz didgeridoo player and his personal struggles following a traumatic brain injury.  Great music but not much of a film.
House of Wax 3D - 1953 Vinny Price version, actually a lot of fun in a well attended theater.  Charles Bronson has never not looked like a weathered shit-kicker.
Me Too - Bone dry comedy about Russians desperately wanting to escape their crappy lives by heading out to a dodgy sounding salvation.  Purposely overbearing soundtrack mixed with low-key style was not a good mix for me.  I can't recommend it.
Blue Ruin - Homeless guy proves himself to be a clumsy assassin.  Great twist on your standard revenge picture, could have been a great 70's film.
Why Don't You Play in Hell - More intermittently hilarious nihilism from Sion Sono.  Waaaaaaay too long, but that gonzo last act makes up for a lot of sins.
Intruders - Comically bleak South Korean thriller.  Writer accidentally befriends recently paroled ex-con on way to isolated forest cabin.  Nothing bad ever happens in a cabin in the woods, right?  My personal favorite film I saw at the fest.

[G The Resurrected]

Ironic, because James Franco also likely enjoys the company of 17 year olds

But thats likely due to the fact that James Franco has never aged he is still that dude from Freaks and Geeks albeit a bit more educated. Singer is just a twisted sick puppy if all the stuff I've heard was true.

[Rufus]

The Michael Jackson defense, huh? He's just like Peter Pan, guys. it's OK.

Why the witch-hunt for Singer when there's still legitimate pedophiles working for Nickoledeon producing child fetish porn and airing it on TV

Bad Grandpa: This is more-or-less a travelogue starring Johnny Knoxville as an old man who is bringing his grandson to a deadbeat dad. This plot, which is pretty minimal, is employed to loosely string together a number of Jackass-style pranks on hidden camera. It works alright as a gimmick, but the comedy really comes from the victims' restraint in dealing with a child and 85-year-old man.

I laughed so hard, I cried. At one point, I was having trouble breathing. 10/10 sharts.

I couldn't last 20 minutes with this movie before I turned it off. I think I gave up on the scene in the tailor. I just didn't find it funny at all. Oh we'll. different strokes

[fistfulofmetal]

Oculus was indeed pretty darn good. Does a great job at making you not sure what is real and what isn't. Doesn't rely on gore and violence and only uses it to put a stamp on specific scenes. It works really well.

[Mupepe]

Transcendence is a mess. An interesting, pretty, and entertaining mess. But a mess. The pacing is all over the place. And it covers so much so fast that it either needs to be edited down to 90 minute movie or we need to see an extra hour of exposition. Oh and its basically mgs4 with its answer for everything

Yeah, the beginning was a little awkward. Did you make it to the funeral? That's where I felt it picked up.

Singer's picture face his horrible and dead. He probably has that same dead face on when he's pounding away; those poor twinks.

Not sure if serious. What exactly are you talking about?

[chronovore]

Huh.

I believe him, but I am curious why he feels he's unable to talk about it. As a victim, he is dealing with a lot of things I can't understand, so I'm not judging.

It seems like there are precious few writers, if any, in the entertainment industry that don't see technology as a terrifying specter waiting to dominate the planet. Apparently they're so afraid of computers they can't even use them for the 30 minutes it takes to study the reality that a scenario like that is absolutely hogwash. Oh well.

it goes too far way too fast. It felt like something that should be covered in a tv show or multi part movie with real exposition and character development. Instead it makes huge leaps in seconds which just takes you out of the whole damn thing.

the dude becomes and ai and... it makes him into a robot that really wants to please his wife but sucks at reading morality? that is corny as fuck. i think theres lots of interesting ways you could do a singularity-type story, or something that shows a mind becoming less human and more detached, or really anything besides what they did. i cant stand the ai-as-goofy-autistic-person stories.
