Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Uncle Sam]

I will pay that admission fee.

 

[Lee]

Oh it is here it's the new trend but it annoys the fuck out of me when you're in the pub and suddenly a dog comes up to you and starts licking you and the owner's like "oh he's friendly". I pretend I'm allergic.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I've been to a cat cafe on 3 occasions. They're cool. So much so I'm mulling over opening one myself

 

[Uncle Sam]

In my head, Stoke is like Escape from LA, only smaller, so I bet there's a market for it.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

It's a terrible place. Somebody would set my cat cafe ablaze. I'm out.

 

[Uncle Sam]

 

[JGlass]

It's possible that you and I differ radically on our opinions on 3D/IMAX/IMAX 3D film viewings, but...

Spider-Man Homecoming: is it worth it to see in 3D? IMAX? IMAX 3D?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'll go and see a film in 3D if I think it'll benefit from it. I didn't even know Homecoming had a 3D release, I'm assuming it's postconverted, and the lack of spectacle is kind of part of the film thematically. So no.

Good, because IMAX prices in this city are fucking ridiculous. In Boston there was an IMAX theater at a furniture store with subwoofers in the seats, cheaper than usual concessions, and free parking, and tickets cost $15 bucks. Here you get none of the aforementioned luxuries and tickets are $22.

My pug would refuse to have anything to do with any of this

I think that went about as interestingly as it could have done.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm going to use Jupiter Ascending to microwave my brain a little bit, make it nice and mushy for Valerian.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

It's what I imagine it's like to be blasted in the face with a shotgun full of sweets.

Never have I ever seen so many good actors phone it in so hard on a single movie - and I've seen Peter Jackson's King Kong.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Take that back, Jackson's Kong is the best monkey movie ever.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's probably my number two behind the James Franco Planet of the Apes, though I'm honestly quite fond of the Charlton Heston one too.

You prefer the Franco Planet of the Apes over the Heston? God's wounds!

 

[Uncle Sam]

Yes but allow me to explain: only on the basis that the James Franco one is better.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Congo! That's got a monkey in it. Several in fact. The Kong: Skull Island of its day.

 

[Барбоса]

Jungle Book

 

[JGlass]

Yes but allow me to explain: only on the basis that the James Franco one is better.

Counterpoint: No it's not.
