The next recession is likely to happen within the next two or three years. Many of you have already pointed it out.

Every second Star Wars movie made less than the previous one. And each initial Star Wars movie was an event unlike its sequels (Star Wars was the first period, Phantom Menace was the first new Star Wars movie in a decade and a half, Force Awakens was the first new one in 10 years and the first to feature the initial main cast since 1983). Look at Batman 1989: that was an event movie. Batman Returns made more in its opening weekend but ultimately less in the long-run. Avengers 1 made more than the second because the first was an event and the first time we saw all the heroes together. The second was just a sequel and not Infinity War levels of a sequel (and also coming off event movie Black Panther who was featured in the movie). Black Panther is going to outgross Infinity War in North America. Are you going to tell me Black Panther is more popular than the Black Panther hero and everyone else? Of course not: Black Panther was an event film domestically.

I've been diligent.

I remember a couple times that we had a few trolls years ago, but I don't think it was overwhelming, and for the past year I didn't think we attracted enough activity to be a board. Totally love chatting wrestling with y'all, but I think it should be a thread. I'm 100% for less is more this time around.

Jason really does have a bad, unoriginal name.

That made me less suspicious of her for some reason, like her brother looked too "squeaky clean" and was intentionally setting the heroes up. But being her instead of him wasn't a huge shocker considering where the suspicions looked to point. It's actually kind of weird that it ended up being a plot twist since the suspicions weren't subtle. Incredibles 1's villain, if you didn't catch the voice during that one Syndrome scene, was a pretty cool reveal. I didn't really buy the "make everyone super" motive too much since it didn't really seem that bad to me and not as important as "giant robot is kicking ass in the city," but the motivation to turn evil and go after supers in general was pretty well-realized.

I thought it was the guy, tbh (revenge for not saving his dad or something like that, and he'd know exactly where Elasticgirl is), but I was in the ballpark.

It was more of a crowd-pleaser than the first and a lot of fun, but it's not on the level of the first. Still, if you're not super tight on money, I'd recommend watching it in theaters; just know that there's not really the same kind of subtext that the first one had. However, that short before the movie was FUCKING FANTASTIC. It's one of my favorite Pixar shorts.

In the Ace Attorney series, this remains up there with one of my favorite of all time. A certain plot twist-filled case can have a good ending or a bad ending. If you present bad evidence, everything goes wrong. Emotional music hits. A build-up to your failures plays in front of you. And then...

@TheLeon bringing up his classic avatar.

We had a thread like this which followed similarly to the "Rate the last movie you watched" thread. Bringing it back, yo. I'm currently playing God of War a second time, this time on Give Me A Challenge. Excellent game overall.

I had to do a double-take looking at the post counts.

The most tragic thing: wtf at my gf no longer exists.

Rogue One was a very fun idea for a spin-off, but I agree that some of the other ideas I saw, like Boba Fett, I wasn't really into.
