Watched Ted 2 the other day. Haven't laughed at a movie that much in a while.
Going to see Suicide Squad this weekend. Should be worth the price of admission just to see Margot Robbie. I'll let you know what I think of it.
I'll be doing the same. I heard from a co-worker that it's pretty good. The wife and I are excited.Quote:

^ Loved the actual book when I was a kid-movie was pretty good.
Let us know about Suicide Squad. I'd go see it just for Margot Robbie, but if the movie is actually okay, then that's a bonus.

Saw Fastball. Pretty interesting and I'm not even a huge baseball fan.
It looks terrible...
I can't wait to watch it.

I think it just went from a theater watch to a man cave movie.
All the reviews say it's terrible.
I heard that too but the couple of people I know who saw it said it was pretty good.Quote:

Just got back from seeing Suicide Squad.
I actually thought it was a decent flick. Kept me entertained anyways. I'm sure it could have been better but I don't think it deserves the kind of negative reviews it's been getting.
Your mileage may vary.
Me tooQuote:

I can't say enough good things about it.
You probably could have said more. ..........................

Go figure.
I'm going to see if YouTube has the trailer.
Yeah, that looks like a pretty good movie. I don't go to a theater to see very many movies...this might be the one for this year.
You get electricity up that a ways?Quote:

Hell, yeah. We're even gettin' indoor plumbing soon. And we got paved roads...not dirt like CoS.Quote:

The actors did great jobs, but the main characters... maybe I'm too law-abiding. They do a fair job of vilifying the banks (and to be sure, banks have had some downright predatory behavior in the past/present/future), but I wish they had at least paid lip-service to the other side of the coin of "know what contract you're signing." In other words, personal responsibility was taking a snooze during this film.
If you really like Westerns on the big screen, then go ahead and see it. If you'd rather not pay $$$ into the hollywood machine that stereo-types you all day long, then wait for it at the redbox (when you only pay hollywood $2.00).

I can't remember how many times I've seen American flags in criminal's homes but never the Gadsden.
This looks like a good'un, Hacksaw Ridge. https://youtu.be/_15I-agW2OEhttps://youtu.be/_15I-agW2OE
Thanks for the merge.
I've been picking up dolby atmos movies lately and watching them on my 135 inch projector, I have to say atmos technology makes home theaters pretty cool. All the overhead sounds really add depth. It'll be interesting to see if they speed up release of movies for atmos sound systems, right now there's only around 40 dvds
I saw it today with my girlfriend today. I thought it was an excellent movie. IMO it had the same feel as "No Country for Old Men". The cast was great, the plot kept me entertained, and it was just the right time length. I know KestrelBike pointed out some of the finer points of the movie, but you have to go into it knowing it's just that.Quote:

Now, I think it's on to Hacksaw Ridge.
I've been watching Peaky Blinders. Wonderful show.
Me too. Only into episode 4 of the first season. It's got my interest.Quote:

For those who haven't watched them. Marco Polo and Season 2 of Daredevil.
Luke Cage starts 7 says after Longmire. NETFLIX-A-RAMA
Loved the soundtrack of Stranger Things. You guys all said Daredevil was good. I want site about Marco Polo.
Nothng Hollywood produces these days seems to appeal to me. First time since "Star Trek: Nemesis" that I've ignored a new release Star Trek movie but the trailers for "Star Trek Beyond" just looked stupid (aside from the one scene with Bones as Spock transports out of danger). I did a marathon of "Blazing Saddles", "Willy Wonka", and "Young Frankenstein" in tribute to the late Gene Wilder, am now watching some classic movies from bygone decades: "Hour of the Gun" and "36 Hours".

Anyone see the trailer for The Magnificent Seven remake?
I understand remaking movies that were poorly done. I really don't understand Hollywood's fascination with remaking classics that were absolutely perfect as it stands. What're they going to do, make Chris and Vin homosexuals? Britt or Bernardo transgender?Quote:

Same thing with story telling, switch up the characters, update settings and time lines, instant success.Quote:

Bad guys show up in otherwise quiet town. Towns folk are upset but don't have the guts to take on bad guys themselves. Good guys step up to clean up the town, but they're out numbered! Also, there is one random lady with a huge rack. It's a theme that works, so is often repeated. It's just about money.
Way to go Iving. You spoiled every western I haven't watched yet.Quote:

Oh yeah, season two of Narcos is out. Wish I spoke Spanish so I wouldn't have to have the subtitles on.
