The Shallows

This is a fun, quick, I've had a couple and just want some dumb entertainment movie. I'm sure I laughed at things that were meant to be serious but who cares I had a good time.

6.5/10

you can kindly go fuck yourself economist, I'm already paying almost $9000 a year to rent my house from the government

Don't hear anything about Syria anymore either 

never, there is no time to go back with all the new games I have to play

not private but https://1337x.to has all the new releases you will want in terms of shows and movies 

Naughty Dog are the absolute undisputed masters of the small animations in their characters that make them so believable, that little thing she does with her ear or hair at :58 is just so human

Shameless season 2

Liked this season better than the first, few solid gut punches this time around and the characters remain overall very well done.

I had an i-pod I bought about 15 years ago and that is literally it in my almost 38 years on this planet 

The Terminator

From the discussion in the thread about the latest terminator movie I decided to revisit this after at least 20 years. It still holds up, just a great 80s flick. The stop motion of the terminator skeleton and the robo-eye head is sketchy but the animatonric puppet still looks great today. The plot and characters do everything they need to and it all just clicks.

In Jean-Luc's autobiography, he becomes the ambassador to Vulcan.

Since no scripts have been written yet when they actually get around to filming this Patrick Stewart will be 79 or maybe even 80 and despite the fact that he has done an amazing job of keeping himself in shape over the years there is no getting around the fact that he is straight up elderly at this point, returning him to the diplomatic role/moral rock that he was in the series vs the quasi-action hero he was in the movies is the absolute right move from both a practical standpoint and storytelling one.

oh fuck yes, hook it to my veins

What was the bolded word supposed to be, "practical"?

 

yes, I was drinking last night 

Avengers Infinity War

This is a 2 hour 20 minute not counting credits movie with ZERO fat, complete collimation of 10 years of films and it all works. I have some issues with Thanos's overall plan and general comicbook movie bullshittery but that is par for the course with this type of movie. I was impressed.

8.5/10

1) T2>T1

T1 was a great scifi/action/horror movie

it is no exaggeration at all to say T2 changed cinema, the use of CGI was unprecedented and absolutely mind blowing at the time and the practical effects and stunts are still hard to top even today.

Helicopter work like this will NEVER be filmed in a US produced movie ever again, this is it the absolute apex of this type of stunt work

2) Mackenzie Davis deserves way better than this, she better be getting paid, if you haven't seen Halt and Catch Fire get on it

Patrick Melrose

Great performances and good over all evolution of the title character.

Is this game available on any kind of mobile device, one of the big reasons hearthstone got so popular was that you could play it on your phone. 

he owns roughly 81,910,000 shares of amazon @ $1797 a share yields about 147 billion so the overwhelming amount of his wealth is both just on paper and tied up in the company. All these article headlines I've seen lately make it sound like he has Ducktales style money vault he goes swimming in. 

as someone who is using the last of the panny plasmas this is of interest to me but the lack of HDMI 2.1 means I have to wait for next years model and for it to actually be for sale in the US

the sound work is the best in any videogame, nothing comes close to those voices in her head. The combat is ok, the puzzles are a pain in the ass, have a walkthough video queued up.

A Quiet Place

Liked it a lot especially from a film making stand point of strict adherence to being quiet. Though bringing a baby into that world is pretty much the stupidest thing you can do.

8.5/10

I'm in a new development. They started 4 houses in March and nothing since then. I was talking to builder and he said if I built my house right now vs late last year it would cost $10/sqft more just in lumber costs. 

For my neighborhood that would be $20,000-$25,000 increase on most houses.

a lot of gun laws get overturned in the 9th by 3 judge panels than get upheld when the case is heard en banc 

The Death of Stalin

I need to read a book on the real version of these events because I'm guessing the movie isn't that far off. Some fun performances and I liked that everyone used their real accents.

7.5/10

Ready Player One

I wonder what the ratio of live action to pure CGI scenes in this movie is, it felt like way more happens in the oasis than IRL.

If you liked the book you will like the movie, it is just weaponized geek nostalgia with the climatic battle being a WMD. The rest is just kind of there.

I will not lie I had the biggest smile when
