Or did a Sharknado hit a Metal Tornado?

I just got back from this and thought it was great. My only disappointment might have been that it runs off the continuity of X3 instead of pretending it didn't happen, but I guess I can get over that. Plus that post-credits scene! Very excited for Days of Future Past.
-
Really? I know some folks have issues with elements of the storyline of IM3, but I felt that movie avoided the overstuffed problem.
-
I think Gosling is pretty damned good. He was great in Lars & The Real Girl.
-
It looks very interesting, but I've had the violence described to me and I know I wouldn't be able to make it through. Maybe when it's out on Bluray and I can fast-forward.

The Professor X of X-Men 3 is totally unidentifiable to me as the same character from the previous two movies. If they'd done a secret reveal at the end showing he had been possessed by an alien for the entire movie, I would have totally bought it.
-
Yeah, I gather Fox was playing hardball with Singer over Superman Returns, which caused a lot of problems. Plus, Halle Berry apparently raised a stink and said she wouldn't come back unless Storm's role was expanded to main character status. I think it's also easy to blame Ratner because A)his track record as a director stinks and B)he's a massive douche IRL and is incapable of hiding it.

I'm not sure January Jones is programmed for small talk.

I haven't listened yet, but my mind is already blown at the thought of Marc & Howard & Ku-Ku being in the same room together.

I think the biggest problem with this movie is not that it was such a bad story on its face, but that it shat all over characters they'd spent 2 movies getting us to like. Cyclops gets killed off screen (off screen!), Jean isn't herself 3/4 of the story, Professor X turns into a major douchebag, Mystique gets sidelined like 20 minutes in...and it's all done in favor of characters we don't give 2 craps about, like Juggernaut, Angel, Psylocke, Callisto, etc.

THE CHRONICALS OF RIDDICK, FUCK YES!
seanotron replied to LukeTunaDavidson's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
This is one of those movies that ended up turning a big profit on DVD sales. The next one is apparently going to be a hard R and pretty much sounds like Pitch Black redux. -
Yes, the 'twist' is that the marriage counselor is telling her own story to her patient. What's really funny is they have an older actress portray the post-infection version of the character, while gray streaks suffice for the husband character. Because it's not enough that the character gets AIDS, she also has to be physically scarred, homely, and forced to buy her AIDS medication from her ex husband's pharmacy. Subtlety, thy name is Tyler Perry.

Retta is very funny, I just think she wasn't right for that episode. But I don't want to start SpiceGate all over again!

I do think Spike has a bit of an upturned-nose when it comes to Tyler Perry, but that's why I originally said he was basically the Scorsese to Perry's Michael Bay. Spike is a legit lover and student of cinema, the history of it, the art of it. You can't look at any of his movies and say he lacks passion or vision, and it comes out naturally when he speaks. Perry just kind of points the camera at what he knows his audience wants and then moves on to the next shot. I guess you could say it's the old commercialism vs art divide. Maybe Perry is really the Adam Sandler in this debate? But Spike has actually been more even-handed in other interviews when discussing Perry. He's acknowledged his accomplishments as a businessman and someone who stays true to their own vision. And while Perry has not made anything bonkers on the level of Tiptoes, he does have Women Issues™ that I think are worth exploring, and Temptation is a prime example of that. I mean, the movie ends with the protagonist being punished for her sins with AIDS, to the point that it physically hobbles her, and her husband leaves her to get a hotter, younger wife. I think if they did it they should 100% have a black guest, preferably a woman. Maybe have Retta back or get Aisha Tyler. Someone who can offer a black feminist perspective. But I think there's a lot to unpack there.

I accept the group reprimand and will say 15 Hail Sylvesters when I get home.

After this, I suggest we have a Stallone moratorium of at least 6 months.

But what if the diarrhea is caused by colorectal cancer?

Who am I rooting for in that last match-up?

Spike expressed his thoughts on Tyler Perry thusly
-
Exactly. Perry is the Michael Bay to Spike's Martin Scorsese.
-
I doubt Tyler Perry even has a Girl 6 in him.

I figured we'd get the other live episode they recorded with Demolition Man.
-
NO MORE BOOKS! A lot of book throwing in that trailer.

If that's the case, I can confidently say this movie did not contain any funny moments.
