Might watch the new Dr. Strange movie tonight or tomorrow and recently was the last person on Earth who saw the latest Spider Man movie. Sad ending but looking forward to the 4th installment.

Looking forward whenever the Avatar sequel comes out, along with the 3rd one.

That Avatar sequel does look promising. I do not have my hopes up that it'll be free of political messages though.

I just don't get my hopes up for anything new these days, so if it does end up being good it's that much better

I liked the first one.

It sucks really but what can we do.

I still play PC games and it's 10 times worse in that industry. So many things get promised, the trailers look phenomenal, everyone gets hyped and the final product is absolute chit.

I believe so. I'll have to double check.

Alfisti · 06-26-2022, 09:10 PM

First one was way, way, way too long. I can sit through a 5 hr movie if need be, so long as it keeps my interest, Avatar was seriously, seriously drawn out.

Esteban · 06-26-2022, 09:20 PM

I like a 90 minute movie, but that's just me. 2 hours can be too long. Just get to the freakin' point. lol

leopard print · 06-26-2022, 09:50 PM

My work is screening the Black Phone tonight. Got great reviews. Pretty excited.

Same unless it keeps you engaged, if it's just filler you're losing me.

Just watched Zero Dark Thirty again, 2 hours 37 minutes but I had no issues paying attention to the end, it's all about presentation

....aaaand I might be a sucker for war/ spy flicks

It's one of those movies that just gains momentum all of the way until the end, you'll be fine

If a movie's good, time stands still

I am so glad I was too old to even consider shopping at this place during its peak of the early 2000s. But I clearly remember walking past the stores inside of Malls. Hearing the loud ass electronic music and smelling that shitty, overpowering cologne, emanating from its entrance.

This documentary movie is of zero surprise about the exclusive culture and pervs who ran it at the top. Worth a watch...

I agree. A really good movie can hold your attention. Those are the special ones. The ones you never forget.

As kinda the total opposite, the few minute (not kidding, w/i the first 60 seconds!) of Stallone's Driven, I knew that I was watching a disaster. Never has a movie shown itself to be so lousy so fast.
