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

[Y 2 Jake]

If Wolverine doesn't call somebody a cunt I'll demand a refund now.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Shall I just send you a tenner in the post now?

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

I really enjoyed X-Men DoFP. They go after one's convictions more so than using all the CGI. It does have some continuity errors as many websites have stated, but if you look past that and just believe that dead people can come to life in a world of super powers, you'll have a lot of fun.

There are stuff I would like to see have more focus, like who killed JFK if not Magneto for instance. All in all it was a great movie to watch and probably the best acting wise of the whole series.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Please. On the off chance I get it by this evening it might sway me into seeing Calvary.

I want to give X-Men 5 stars, but that'd mean a rejig of the whole list.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh, good. I thought it was a good movie and it was.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Nobody else took care of it, it fucking went off. I'm sure the people of San Francisco were chuffed.

It didnt seem like they were, though, did it?

Because they all lived. It appeared. Not 5 minutes after they JUST SHOWED the blast radius of it as a plot device.


This movie was an abomination of logic.


Unfortunate, because the characterization of Godzilla was the best since the original.

 

[Danger Burger]

X-men was very good. Not five stars in my books, but plenty interesting and some very good scenes.

Blink and Quicksilver were the coolest. I don't have anything controversial to say.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I gave Noah & Starred Up 5 stars when they're not 5 star films. I think I enjoyed X-Men more than both of them.

I'll see it again. That might help me decide.

So self-aware that one worries it might just become an exercise in self-deprecation - and it sort of does, but it's hilarious nonetheless.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'll be taking it in tomorrow, probably alongside That Angelian Jolie film & the Tom Cruise one. It'll be a long day.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

What's the deal with Noah?

Didnt see that coming.

 

[Lee]

You do realise you can change your name back now?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Can I? I've rather enjoyed being KB's spouse. I finally see what Becca must see.

Belle & 3 Days To Kill might have positives. But if they do I slept through them.

Oculus wins this years award for horror film that I love but will never bother wathing again. See The Conjuring & The Possession from previous film lists.

 

[Uncle Sam]

WWE Films, that one.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Aye. No logo on the opening or superstar cameo though unfortunately.

 

[Uncle Sam]

A pity - Wade Barrett was nicely anonymous in Dead Man Down.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

That film got my money because of Barrett. I think him mangling every line he had is the only reason I remember seeing it.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm going to go see the new How To Train Your Dragon tomorrow. Feels like years since I went to the ol' cinematoreum.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I'm going to go see the new How To Train Your Dragon tomorrow. Feels like years since I went to the ol' cinematoreum.

I can't wait to see it and probably gonna go all out and plump for a 3D showing.

Also, Snitch is probably Rock's best film. Throwing that out there.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'll see Cold In July and that kids with cancer film when I get round to it.

I'll also be taking the lady friend to see that musical. The really cheerful looking one because she is not cheerful and she will not enjoy it.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Cheerful films! I too am an expert in what ladies like. It's a popular song name, that film what's coming out. Smile Like You Mean It, that's the one. Or I Am The Walrus. One or t'other.

Plenty sad and dark for what Empire has imposed on me as the "Empire Strikes Back" of the series. Still not as good as Empire Strikes Back though - Empire Strikes Back having the honour of being the only good Star Wars film. It is great though. Empire, I mean. How I Trained Your Dragon 2 was good. Sad. Dark. Had maybe one or two funny moments. Therefore a hell of a film.

Can't wait for Linklater's new film though. That's gonna be a motherfucker.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

As long as Toothless had some cute big-eyed moments then I'm happy.
