Happy Breaking Bad Day Bitches

 

[justinsayne]

Elsyium was pretty good, that said it fell just shy of my admittedly lofty expectations. I think the world the story is set in was far more interesting then the actual story.

 

[Coco]

I didn't care for Elysium at all. Nowhere near as good as District 9. Nearly a snore-fest.

Interesting choice using modern day Los Angeles though. I loved that.

My opinion was obviously closer to Justin's than it was to Coco's, but I can definitely see why some people would call it a snoozefest. The pacing was some kind of awful and it really failed to suck me into the story.

I actually thought to myself, "Oh, so it's only a few decades in the future then?"

 

[Coco]

Honestly, I'm just not getting much out of the summer movie season this year. Aside from Mud and The Way Way Back, I can't think of anything I've seen that I really dug. And I've been averaging about one film a week.

It'd be nice if we got some more non-mainstream fare here. Some of us would actually like to see The East!

I have high hopes for Fruitvale Station.

Did you not see This is the End? I thought that was a riot. Man of Steel wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. But even if you didn't dig those two, I can't see how you weren't thrilled with Star Trek: Into Darkness. I thought that movie was absolutely phenomenal.

 

[justinsayne]

I think right now that Into Darkness, Pac Rim, & Elsyium are probably the three movies I've enjoyed the most this summer.

Into Darkness, Pac Rim, and This is the End for me.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

This is the End was just terrific.

 

[Coco]

I generally don't go to see comedies unless invited by a friend who I enjoy going to see movies with. Laughter doesn't live in my soul, dawg.

Man Of Steel was wank. Sorry, nerds. But it was.

Into Darkness was fine though. If not on par with the first, then close. But still nothing that left me leaving the theatre REALLY pleased. Aside from The Way Way Back, I could forget this entire summer, film-wise.

Top three I've seen: The Way Way Back, Mud, and Iron Man 3 (maybe).

I hope Kick-Ass 2 at least entertains. First one felt like unsubstantial fun a few years ago. But right now, I'd kill for something on that level.

I might check out This Is The End on your recommendation. We have that kind of relationship now. I think.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I liked Elysium a lot. The main baddie was thoroughly entertaining, accent was great.

I want to see Kick Ass 2, reading the comic really got me excited for it, especially if certain scenes are incorporated.

Oh and I met Ricky Steamboat along with other wrestlers at the final day of Comic Con, that guy is really awesome.

 

[justinsayne]

I'm more excited about The World End than Kick Ass 2

 

[Coco]

A shame that The World's End is a comedy.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Speaking of non-mainstream, I saw From Up On Poppy Hill today. Quaint and uplifting if nothing else. The highly varied but spot on soundtrack is reason enough to enjoy.

 

[Барбоса]

A shame that The World's End is a comedy.

I didn't get too many laughs from the first two thirds of the Cornetto trilogy so I am not rushing out for a potential third such experience.

[Uncle Sam]

Remind me to yell about how bad This Is The End is later. No time now.

 

[nightmare]

It cant possibly be as bad as R.I.P.D.

You weren't impressed with it either eh?

Sam, we get it, you have terrible taste in film (except when you don't). You don't have to convince us anymore.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I would have liked it if they had written characters and not just really bad dick and weed jokes.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Seriously, with the possible exception of Danny McBride, you could randomly swap everybody's dialogue and you'd have the exact same film. Great gimp reveal though.

 

[Tastycles]

Are you doubting the power of the knob joke, Sam?

 

[Shocky]

It's a shame how bad Pac Rim did here stateside. A real fun movie, and I'm terrified Godzilla is going to flop next year.
