Watchmen is disgusting, tone-deaf violence porn

Watch the brilliant HBO series instead

They're both great.

We can leave our opinions at that. I have no energy to debate someone who doesn't love Deadwood, but does love season 8 of GoT.

lol then don't

Well, yours is definitely a (very) minority opinion. Not that there's anythng wrong with that. But fwiw, the film as a 97% RT audience rating on over 10,000 reviews.

I respect your opinion; in fact, I've gone out of my way to find and watch things that you've reviewed positively in the past and have never been disappointed, but I have to disagree with you here. Although I didn't love the movie, I didn't think it was bad; and it was a significant improvement over the mess that was released theatrically in 2017.


Come on, you can't blame Snyder for what's been canon for 80 years. Their backstory is their backstory.


Martian Manhunter. The same dude who appeared at the end of the epilogue.

haven't seen show yet but movie was a breath of fresh air in a tired genre

sick burn bro

when i watched justice league theater cut it was so bad the constant plot holes and general confusion as to what was happening and why didn't bother me

hey, if you liked it, you liked it. <shrug> I assume it means more to DC comics readers, as I was never one. But my god it was a chore and a bore for me to sit through.

And the reviews aren't good...I really don't cared what 10k DC fanboys think of it lol

I'll give you WW, but explain to me why Aquaman can fly.

And I can't believe there are so many defenders of that crapfest Watchmen. What an excreable, disgusting waste of celuloid.

artificial scarcity as conspicuous consumption enabler. lol


at first i was like whoa i agreed with something ray zee said then i realized that the first part means that you are streaming CHL and don't own it and i was back to lolrayzee


i don't always agree with dom takes, but i do always respect them.

except for S08 GOT. that's an exception.

LOL, touche'.


Well, I was more of a DC comics reader than Marvel growing up, but never much cared for Aquaman, so I really don't know his history. A quick Google search and a cursory review of what I found there indicates that whether he can actually fly is open for debate and has never been definitely stated one way or another by DC. But I agree with you, there's no logical reason that he should have that ability. (Although it's a stretch assuming anything in a comic book superhero world can be determined by logic.)

That said, I don't remember him flying in the movie. Now granted, it was four-hours long, and I tend to lose focus during any of the DC/Marvel de rigueur CGI fight fests in the sky, but I thought there was a point where he was fighting while falling and losing altitude, Cyborg caught him, Aquaman said thanks, and then Cyborg threw him or did something to give him more forward momentum.

I could very well be wrong, but I definitely am not going to go back and find that scene again. In fact, even though I liked the movie (especially when compared to the 2017 version), it's not something that I could ever see myself sitting through again.

hey choppy, whats wrong with streaming my movies? i watch all of them from my computer or cast it to my screen. i havent gone to a theatre or bought a single movie in years. last one was avatar.

streaming CHL,, is that the canadian hockey league or some other thing. or are you on mushrooms again.

Whoosh, you missed the point...

Up thread, someone mention Grand Budapest Hotel; a 2014 comedy-drama film. Because the stars were aligned, I had just viewed that film a day before that post. Anyway, I wanted to add that I thoroughly enjoyed this very delightful film that I had not seen before. Truly a treat. See it if you haven't already, or see it again. Obviously worth multiple viewings.

Kinda sad to see what's happened to the Oscars, used to be such a big deal and now even most former movie fans don't give a **** and rightly so. Too many recently ruined institutions around to count these days!

I always love your posts/recs (unless you really don’t like Deadwood...) but why are you trying to argue for rationale in a movie about people with special powers lol

Yeah, huge Oscars fan here too.

I’m hoping it’s largely due to

1) Covid
2) no good movies this year

Watched Boss Level last night. It was enjoyable. Certainly not the best or most in-depth movie, but it was funny, had some action, and was easy to watch. Give it a go.

Chinatown - I have a lot of nostalgia for LA from the 50’s-80’s, even though I wasn’t there for it. This movie really captures a time I’ve always imagined but never saw, I wish there were more like it. I’ve seen it maybe 6 times, it’s always great. 10/10

1) Thanks
2) I never said I didn't like Deadwood. I do like it. I just said I didn't think it was a GOAT show.
3) Every movie needs internal logic, even super hero movies. But I can let it slide some if the movie is, you know, entertaining in some way.

And Justice League, in either iteration, did not entertaining me even a little bit. It's a bad movie.

Started our Oscars watching, since we've seen almost nothing that is nominated in any category. Covid has definitely put a damper on the last year.

Mank last night.

Ended up thinking it was pretty good. 8/10. Biggest gripe was it seemed they tried to make the audio resemble the '40's movies and it was hard to keep track of, so used subtitles. Oldman was great. Nice storytelling format. I liked it more than I thought I would.

I had to use subtitles, too. I thought the music score was intrusive when I was trying to listen to the dialogue.

I watch nearly everything with subtitles now. Otherwise, I find myself rewinding and messing up the flow of something too frequently. I like to know exactly what people are saying.

Count me in as someone who ALWAYS watches with subtitles... for different reasons though

Just watched Stranger Than Fiction. I usually can't stand Will Ferrell but he plays it straight, and it's a neat little movie. Emma Thompson is fabulous as always.

i think this movie suffered in that it had one of the all time greatest trailers and was just an enjoyable movie instead of the groundbreaking comedy the trailer implied



all time goat trailer
