There are restaurants that do go to food markets for their ingredients, though they usually buy in bulk to last for a week rather than going every day. There are rare cases like in Jiro Dreams of Sushi where Jiro or his workers went to the fish market every morning to get fish in order to sculpt their menu for the day. Plus I can totally see a small family owned restaurant using the idea of "fresh ingredients daily" to sell food to local hipsters or foodies.

Ooof, this one was bad. I really enjoyed the first ID4 despite its campiness and cheesiness, but this one really turned up the suck factor. Basically everyone in this movie outside of William Fichtner and Deobia Oparei is comic relief, and the CGI is so-so at the best of times. And while people complain about the collateral damage in Man of Steel, it doesn't hold a candle to this movie as basically everyone in Asia and London are killed in a five minute span, and no one really seems to care after about 10 minutes. There were so many times I almost walked out that I couldn't believe that after 20 years, this is the script that Dean Devlin thought was a worthy sequel to the first movie.

I was waiting for Hirsch to bite it after the baby scene thinking that they were just going to knock characters off one by one until it was just new people. Pullman was chewing scenery hard in this movie and the point when he volunteers to help is about when I yelled "oh for fucks sake" and left. Honestly, I would have loved to have seen a movie about the in-between decades when humans were reverse engineering shit and fighting the remaining aliens on Earth, maybe from the point of the Congo soldiers as that General was fantastic. You talk about Spiner's agent being amazing, how bout the agent for the accountant character who somehow made a guy, who's only other real big role was a tour guide in Emmerich's White House Down, a focal character of the movie while at the same time being possible the most unlikable character on screen.

Yeah the deaths that occurred were like they were trying to pass the torch to the next generation but it doesn't make sense as this is only the first sequel, so there is no desire by fans for a torch to be passed. at one point I thought "holy shit are they going to kill everyone from the prior movie?" I don't need to see any Hemsworth on screen that isn't Thor and I did find that the woman from It Follows was pretty good as Pullman's daughter. Also, if I never see Spiner's ass again it would be too soon.

Yeah they really didn't explain it too well, maybe hoping people wouldn't remember one way or another. If it had been said by Bill Pullman that he misinterpreted what he saw while mind-linked to the alien in the first movie, fine would have been enough dirt for me to fill the plot hole, or to say that the ships we saw in the first film were an older model that weren't as advanced as the one in this movie, which would save a whole lot of headaches because it clearly is a more technologically advanced ship this time around, would have been fine, yet they did none of that. It would have worked out too with what else was in this movie as the main characters are basically told that we are a primitive, backwoods world who haven't evolved enough to warrant assistance, so it could have been a joke that the first ship attacks were done by the low aliens on the totem pole since we were an easy target, but again, nothing like that.

See I can't remember if it was explicitly said that they were the remaining part of that race, just that they went from planet to planet harvesting resources. In this movie To be fair though there was a few things that were retconned or ignored from the previous movie or just added after the fact for this to make some sense.

I love Becky Cloonan's work and can't wait for the second volume of this along with the next volume of Gotham Academy and the first volume of The Punisher. As for this movie, I am glad that I didn't have to buy this movie because my mom owns it on DVD because she fucking loves this movie for some reason. This came out at a time when the trend for a few years seemed to be magical realism in romance movies like Serendipity (2001) and Life Or Something Like it, and none of them really worked because as we saw in Winter's Tale if you can't pull off the magic in the plot, it completely falls apart. Also, the fucking crabs were attached to strings.

I remember seeing this when it came out on video and was completely confused by what the hell happened in this movie. The ending was sudden and too ambiguous for its own good, and the fact that NO ONE questions any of the weird shit the blonde woman does is beyond me. Now years later as a librarian who studied proper protocol for handling rare materials and archived items, I was appalled by how these people were handling these supposed rare items. The only real reaction was in the opening scene where Depp was bamboozling a family out of first edition Don Quixote, I believe, and the invalid father who owned the book was expressing such rage in his eyes and was unable to tell his dumbass kids how much they were getting screwed by Depp.

Were these a result of the sniper rampage in DC or were they postponed because of that?

My friend actually asked how many packs of magnets did they have to buy in order to make that message.

That's what made me think that there wasn't a real budget for this movie because there was a larger, more well rounded cast, in the book. The Red Hoodie Man had more depth to him than just a static being, and actually communicated with the protagonists, and the third act had a lot more going for it.

Is that one of those mugs where her clothes disappear when their is coffee or tea in it?

Another thing I remember about the trailers was that they were promoting an ending so shocking that it would leave audiences breathless. Yet after a movie being as generic an "erotic thriller" as you can get, what were they hoping to think would be so shocking? I think it would have been a great twist if in the end it's revealed that this wasn't the first student or underage kid that she had an affair with or that in those cases she ended up killing those kids to cover up her affair. If they had gone to left field with that, I think it might have been a semi-saving grace for this crap.

I actually liked the book and the first two acts of this movie. The problem was that it seemed this movie ran out of funds before it could be finished, leading to the rushed ending. The book goes into a bit more detail about how a cyber attack could lead to cell phone users being turned into rage monsters a la 28 Days Later. I don't know why they added the idea that somehow Cusack mentally created the main monster in the movie, as that wasn't the case in the book, and that character was rather just a single human who is the leader of these monsters, though it is hinted at that the red hoodie man may have been the one who created the original pulse that started the whole ordeal. While the premise is a bit far-fetched I felt it works when considering things like governments spending money to develop sound weapons or use sonics against an enemy. Yet you could really tell the movie fell apart at the end as there were a lot less actual extras on screen and the CGI got pretty laughable, especially in the final scene.

I want to bump this as well since this movie has a plot point where Arquette gets free slushies by sticking his hand up his own ass.

So apparently the writer saw this clip on Family Guy and thought it would make for a great plot point. Well that's 2000 comments on these boards!

134 outta 135 on the nerd quiz.

Good thing I clicked the link because I got Wright mixed up with sex offender and HDTGM usual suspect Jeffrey Jones, which made that bio even more insane to me when I first read it. I think it's safe to say that whatever the allergy was it was deadly, as Oz proved when the character Supreme Allah was killed by his egg allergy.

The most I've done in a single theater was two, though one day I split 21 Jump Street, Cabin In the Woods, and The Raid:Redemption between two theaters and had the single greatest theater viewing experience in my life.

Forgot about both of those last two. I can't remember if there was weight loss for the Revenant, though I know he was eating all the actual stuff being shown on screen.

Yeah bulking up seems to have the opposite effect for roles, for the most part. De Niro in Raging Bull, Christian Bale in American Hustle, and Charlize Theron in Monster all got praise for going up in weight, including at least Oscar nominations, or a win in Theron's case.

Okay I just watched this and it is terrible, though there are some positives. The action, as in all Blomkamp movies, is top notch and well choreographed, Yolandi actually gives a decent performance as a motherly character to Chappie, and while it's a sort of Robocop ripoff, it still has some original aspects to it. Unfortunately, Ninja is a god awful actor, and the fact that their music and merchandise is all over this movie is a total mind melter and it also seems that Blomkamp was trying to mix video game and cartoon culture in a real world setting, which just didn't work.

No because I order the DVDs for the library I work at, and that pile of poo is nowhere near the collection.

I'm just writing a list in Word, I don't even want to think of the total time spent. I think I did that one year for my October binge and it just depressed me. The only thing I keep on a spreadsheet movie-wise are the DVDs/Blu Rays that I own, which currently stands at 1,236, and I also include the genre and release year because I have a few movies along with their remakes.

I'm trying to think of a movie where an actor lost a huge amount of weight for the role and the movie was successful either critically or financially, outside of Cast Away and the FIghter? I know Hemsworth lost some poundage for the late part of the role when they are starving. Christian Bale lost an assload of weight for the Machinist, which had decent reviews from critics but wasn't the award darling that people were hoping it would be. 50 Cent lost almost 60 pounds as well for All Things Fall Apart, which tanked and was panned. Are there any that I'm missing where it ended up well for the actor or actress?
