  1. I forgot how forgettable Rise of the Beasts was. Ugh. Anyways, if I had Hollywood money I'd make a scene for scene live (mostly) action remake of the original 1986 animated film.
  2. I think the last time I had Burger King was when ROTS was released 🤣🤮
  3. Ridley Scott's historical films are very hit or miss. For every Black Hawk Down or The Last Duel we get a Naploeon or House of Gucci. So maybe Ridley Scott's next historical film will be really good?!?? 😜
  4. I think some of the problem goes to the lack of originality in these films. We know we keep getting sequels or comic books films that naturally unoriginal but now it seems we can lump historical or "true story" films into it. For historical films we can (mostly) find what happens in Wikipedia before the film is released. Yes, there are original films out there but I can't recall the last time I wanted to pay to see one in a theater.
  5. Saw NAPOLEON for date night and it wasn't as good as we hoped which is disappointing as it was the only film I was looking forward to this year. Overall it seems cinema continues the downward trend since the pandemic, sadly.
  6. Quick edit: They are only looking for Chinese or mixed Chinese for the role which is lame imho. The great thing about THE KARATE KID was that it wasn't about race.
  7. Took the family to see TROLLS: Band Together yesterday. The kids enjoyed the music and fun. My wife really loved the all the boy band references as that was more her musical taste and generation. On a negative note we bought tickets via Fandango and the convenience fee was $8 which I think is ridiculously high and doesn't help theaters bring in audiences. Next time we'll just check seating availability and plan on purchasing the tickets at the cinema instead.
  8. And the necro thread award goes to... 🤣 Wow, and talk about keeping stuff too haha.
  9. Yikes, that was awful. SONY should have done a WB by cancelling its release and taken the tax write off.
  10. Another film to take the family to, That being said I'm snatching up Fandango gift card deals when I see them, lol.
  11. I wonder if the younger audience even cares about TERMINATOR and its just chasing GenX money? The original film will be 40 years old (yikes!) next year and I wonder if many younger folk in their late teens or early 20s have actually seen it? I have a co-worker in his mid-20s that I consider a fellow nerd film fan however he never saw Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing nor Blade Runner.
  12. Snyder is great at adapting (WATCHMEN, 300, DC) but his original films have a poor track record IMHO. That being said I'd rather see him direct a THE EXPANSE movie, that would fit his style perfectly.
  13. Could be good. Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled as quickly as the FOX television series 😔
  14. Alamo Draft House for the food and drinks. Showplace ICON (our favorite) for the cushy and heated reclining seats!!
  15. I didn't know they were making a sequel..., but I'm sure my daughter will like to see it when its released in theaters.
  16. You're tame, lol! I'd be humming that Blue Thunder music when I was piloting a attack helicopter in a Battlefield 4 urban map!!
  17. That is why we're cutting back on streaming, it's ridiculous that prices increased so much in the past year. On a side note you may be able to save $$ through cashback and/or offers on your credit card. For example I get 6% cashback for streaming plus $25 redeemed for spending over $99 on MAX via a annual subscription renewal on my AMEX Blue Cash card.
  18. Liked the first season of REACHER and this one looks to amp it up a lot in it's second season.
  19. Watched the final episode. It followed the manga and was well made as always. Don't know what more to expect from such a wildly thrilling epic series tbh.
