Trump can't seem to win any real victories, so might as well credit him for winning the fake ones.
Agreed. Like how Darth Vader did not say "Luke, I am your father." By adding "Luke," it provides more context that it is a Star Wars reference, and people chose to repeat that version of it.
The Berenstain Bears were always the Berenstain Bears. People just assumed it was Berenstein or Bernstein because Stein is more common than Stain as part of a last name. But a lot of us picked up on the unusual spelling when we were young and made note of it. Those that didn't became baffled as to why they didn't pick up on it before, which is probably because they didn't care.
Same thing with the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz holding a gun. Even if they saw it, nobody cared enough to bring attention to it.
"Crossdressing and accusations of plagerism aside, I always thought there was something sinister about the Wachowski brothers"
...is where I stopped reading. When they start it off with the anti-trans crap, and can't even spell plagiarism, I gotta take a pass. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't even know what plagiarism is.
And we're supposed to think the Wachowskis essentially brainwashed this guy?
That's too many blue pills to swallow.
God forbid they take a mixed-race character from recent comic books and put them on the big screen, right? How dare they.
In order for me to believe it was truly Raimi's version, I would have to see natural web-shooters built into Spidey's DNA.
They are not mutually exclusive. A mansion is a type of house. A house is a house, but a mansion is both.
They were crab people... obviously.
Oh ok
Not buying it because there's no mention of Cap lifting Thor's hammer.
It's a common idea they are going to use time travel to get all of the infinity stones in the past.
In the scene in the trailer with Cap and Natasha talking about the mission, it looks like they are on the old plane that Cap crashed in, which is the same plane that had the tessaract on it before it was temporarily lost and found by Howard Stark. They could be grabbing the stone before it burns through the hull.
Not only does it get the stones before Thanos, it also allows them to visit all of the previous films.
The Russos are 3-0 as far as I'm concerned. It wouldn't bother me if they needed 4 hours to tell their story. It would only convince me that's what they needed to get it right.
It wasn't entertaining. That's all Star Wars needs to be. Force Awakens was similar to the original, but at least it was a fun ride. Grumpy Luke moping around on a rock isn't what I consider to be fun.
So... did Trump lie again when he said he was the one responsible for the shutdown?
It's easy to get that audience score up when previous films have been a serious letdown. People went in expecting another Justice League, and got something closer to Wonder Woman.
Hell, I bet Man of Steel would've gotten around an 84% audience score if it was released today. It's already not that far off with 75%.
Critics are going to be harder to please because they're going to base it on criteria other than "is this just more crap from DC?"
Probably because of the snow :)
It's almost exactly the same dynamic with Die Hard, just with less snow because it's L.A.
Christmas was the excuse they used to have the family go on vacation so Kevin could be home alone to fend off burglars.
Christmas was the excuse they used to have the company party so John could visit his wife and fend off robbers/terrorists.
I think people just need to accept that not all Christmas movies are created equal. It all depends on the plot. Some plots revolve around the Holiday like A Christmas Story, and other plots don't like Home Alone. If Home Alone was changed to Thanksgiving, you could have the same movie except with less snow. I guess an added problem for Die Hard is it takes place in Los Angeles which isn't necessarily known for its winter weather.
Watching this made me wanna gouge my eyes out. There was too much cringe to sit though. The grocery store clerk and the other pregnant lady couldn't act to save their lives. Nobody even tried squinting. It was eyes fully open or closed. They didn't want to attempt to show anything of the entities, probably thinking your imagination was better than anything they could come up with. Sure it's important to use the audience's imagination, but at least show more than the rustling of leaves and bushes.
It's like someone saw how bad The Happening was and figured they could improve it by adding a bit of A Quiet Place to it.
