LeGOATski Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Once I came to terms with Ryan Reynolds' voice coming out of Pikachu's mouth, the rest of the trailer didn't look too bad.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah. In the trailers, Rodan and KG clash in the air, but Rodan stops short and goes at KG with his claws. Talk about ultra-stupid. Rodan should be going full force like a missile with his power beak leading the way. With his speed and that beak he would undoubtedly pierce Ghidorah. I hope the movie plays out differently than the trailer when it comes to that air clash
unbillievable Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Long Shot was total garbage. It's the liberal rom-com of an SJW journalist, suffering from TDS, falling in love with an Idealized Hilary Clinton fantasy. Seth Rogan plays the same worthless loser character he always does, while Charlize Theron pretends his SJW BS advice is wisdom worthy of her time, and risk to her career. This is "Knocked Up" with politics thrown into the mix. Critics seem to love this movie. 3

Guess I'll wait until it hits HBO or Starz or something. Going to see John Wick 3. This is hubby's idea, not mine. It can't be worse than the second one, and with luck will be as good as the first one. I talked my son into going to see Pokémon as part of some bonding time. We will probably head out next weekend or the weekend after that. He's looking at it was nostalgic, I am looking at it as a clean Ryan Reynolds movie.

I read a few reviews after watching the movie to see why it got so many positive reviews. The majority of critics seem to think it's clever commentary on the state of the white house, the GOP, and conservatives in general. While It can be seen as satire, the consistent right-wing ridicule got old after awhile. The jokes were mostly penis/sex jokes, toilet humor, and conservative bashing, none of which I found very funny funny.

Political messaging and social awareness has become more important in movie making, than artistic vision and talent. Sad but true fact. 1

Unlike in the older movies where the monsters would be controlled by beings from outer space.
Rico Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 $14M contract on his head. Excommunicado by the Continental. Will John Wick make it out of NYC alive? You know it!

I wonder if burning Godzilla is a second Godzilla instead of Godzilla transforming into burning Godzilla.

I'm hoping for mecha-Godzilla. John Wick 3 was a fun movie. Much better than the 2nd one. Might be better than the 1st. They figured out what people wanted to see in a John Wick movie and made it non-stop for 2hrs. Probably going to see Aladin, but trying to convince my friends to go to the dinner & movie theater/restaurant. I figure that It will probably suck and I would need something to do during the cringe parts (Will Smith.) Edited May 20, 2019 by unbillievable
