Wow, 100/100 Metacritic score. Guess we've learned that movie critics have a thing for young boys.

where a bunch of people slag a guy while at the same time trying to say something like" if you haven't got anything good to say then don't say it".

I guess opinions are wonderful just as long as they don't happen to differ from your own.

and THAT, my friend, my pal, my SO, my soul mate, my secret Dildo Clause, is THE Internet.

You've never seen me commit such a capital offense before.

I shall always be Spam Gamgee to your Dildo Baggins.

Yes I know that like life that technically that makes no sense. Someplace else I might even actually care.

and THAT, my friend, my pal, my SO, my soul mate, my secret Dildo Clause, is THE Internet.

That sort of herd mentality is what led to the demise of Frankenstein's monster.Something I still haven't forgiven the peasants for.
Why even to this day I can't pass someone carrying a torch without wanting to punch them.

What about people with lighters?

[IdolEyes787]

Yeah them too.I don't discriminate and that's why I'm better than most foreigners.

I sort of watched The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies.I say "sort of" because overblown and given to taking itself so painfully seriously as it was it failed to really hold my attention and my mind kept drifting off.

I'm pretty sure somebody died and good triumphed over evil and all involved went home rich but other than that I'm fuzzy on the exact details.

I also watched American Sniper which was good if making up stuff as opposed to telling how things actually happened in a supposed biography is good and I'm pretty sure all politicians agree it is.

Anyway for anyone, that being no one who cares.

American Sniper

I'm pretty sure somebody died and good triumphed over evil and all involved went home rich but other than that I'm fuzzy on the exact details.

Same ending, then.

Anyway, shallow fanaticism with gunplay. I'm in.

[IdolEyes787]

Then you'll love what just happened in France.


If I'm ever confronted by a hostile force I'd rather have it be some atheist with no country because apparently thinking your cause is just makes doing really terrible things a lot easier.

Actually American Sniper is a pretty good movie if a little unevenly paced but I guess that was sort of the point.Showing the sharp difference between Kyle's two realities although The Hurt Locker already did that sort of thing already and better .
The Hobbit on other hand could have been directed by Michael Bay and would have played basically the same.

That's code for it's basically a total piece of shit .Some of the big fight scenes are almost farcical how they just keep going on and on like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

What do you expect? 1 movie was stretched into 3. The battle scenes and piles of gold were all that really mattered in the last one. Getting you to watch the other two was the reason for the first 2.

Whiplash (2014) . I loved this movie. It is a well-done drama of a talented, young drummer who is pushed to his limits by his teacher. Kind of like a dark version of Dead Poet's Society. For a drama about music (it is actually more about what it takes to become great), the story flows quickly. J.K. Simmons plays an AMAZING character as the hard-nose teacher. I don't believe I've sen such a convincingly played hard ass since R. Lee Ermey traumatized the young Marines in Full Metal Jacket.

See it, or miss out on one of the best filums of the year. Don't take my word for it:

In stark contrast, I finished watching 'Merkin Sniper last night. Not impressed. Would not have known Eastwood directed it, since his other movies have been far more engaging. This one left me cringing after Bradly Cooper (in an almost comically bad attempt at a Texas drawl) declared that " 'Merika is the GREATEST country on Earth" runs off to join the Navy SEALS in spite of not liking water.

More of a propaganda film for a decade+ old war nobody cares about anymore than entertainment. I give it about 5.5/10. Would not play it for a friend if we were bored and looking for something to watch.
