!marks may remember Nathan from a brief stint in WWE

Just rewatched this and forgot how much I liked it. A pretty star studded cast with Willem Dafoe, Edward Furlong, Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi, and Mickey Rourke. In addition it was written by Edward Bunker who actually was a prisoner in San Quentin so it feels authentic.

Who has had the biggest decline in their work from getting old and fat?

Marlon Brando

Elvis Presley

Orson Welles

George Miller has been living in that Wasteland, off and on, since 1979. With this series, he has pushed the boundaries of what an action film, what a sci-fi film, what a film, period, can be. With Furiosa, he has redefined what a Mad Max film can be. I hope he never stops making them.

Such a fun genre. Movies like Body Heat, Body Double, Sea of Love, The Last Seduction, etc.

It's interesting how they're basically just film noirs with a bit more emphasis on s*x and much less censorship.

As if life isn't stressful enough. Now all your escapism must be embedded with the existential fear that the world is going to burn.

Clint Eastwood directed a “true story” movie starring noted dog abortionist Tom Hanks based on the guy who landed a plane in the Hudson River when it hit some birds (not that impressive imo).

Unfortunately the crash landing itself lasted like two minutes real time and everything before that was a normal flight, so how do you stretch that to 90 mins??

Eastwood wholesale invents a whole plot after the crash about a government agency investigating the crash and pretends the pilot played by Hanks is at risk of being blamed for it. It's the only stakes at play because we all know the plane will land safely and at that point in the movie it already had.

I mean there was a real inquest into the crash but the pilot was never at any time going to be blamed for the crash, he was already a hero. It was basically just a formality.

Eastwood also casts the lady who played the Breaking Bad wife to play the main government instigator who tries to blame Hanks and is pure fiction. Character is basically rage bait to make wingcucks screech about how you can't even be a hero anymore without big government sucking the c*m from your balls in a bad way

This is the second in my series of 150 posts about Eastwood being an awful director

If you marathon this and fury road back to back, you will have watched the perfect cnematic masterpiece. They are really one movie, although it would have to be cut down a lot and it's cool that therrs 4 hours of psycho desert nonsense. I liked it more than FR in some ways. It's funnier and the characters are more developed. Miller makes a better movie every time he releases one of these (thinderdome doesbt count,it's not a mad Max movie). His final movie is going to be the pinnacle achievement in human kino if he can finish it before he dies.

I think it started off great. House of X and powers of X were legitimately amazing.

The X of swords bit was really mid but I loved the idea of Mutants taking over Mars and becoming the capital of the solar system.

It was fun to watch Mr. Sinister do his evil guy things.

I still don't care for the diamond skin lady or the other guy related to her.

Cable was fun for a bit.

X force was decent enough.

After that I am in the minority for saying this but I enjoyed the overly convoluted timeline jumping shenanigans and Hope has finally died.

The most disappointing part for me was how anticlimatic the death of Nimrod was.

The overall saga felt like it was written for children and adults, then for teenagers, and then for children.

I would rate the entire age of krakoa as a 7.5 out of 10.

9/10 for the start.

7.5/10 for the middle.

5/10 for the end.

Also, new lore of how mutants and the Phoenix force are bound together forever in the white hot room.

Here is a link to the reading order for the entire Krakoan age of x- men:

It feels like they have perfected the art of starting a comic but nobody is that good at continuing the series. As if we are still living in the age of mid tier comics and the medium still has a whole lot of space to evolve to always be good throughout.

I also enjoyed what they had going with the children of the vault.

Inspired by the thread of comments we had on Star Wars original trilogy, are there movies or film series you considered great at some point, or that other people consider great but that you guys consider kind of ? Or maybe not the masterpiece everyone seems to believe?

This is not about being a contrarian “WHAA POPULAR THING SUCKS”, is more about “why do people make such a fuzz on it” sincere feeling

New Star Wars series ‘The Acolyte’
is the “gayest Star Wars yet” according to the producer and cast.

Does this make you want to watch it more or less? pic.twitter.com/GdXVjbSzYP
