You should kidnap those kids and make them watch Star Wars next weekend. Then they'll know.

They both suck, but I would never recommend anyone watch Resurgence.

I'm not a movie critic guy and I usually find some enjoyment in just about anything, but this was so...so...ham-fisted. I might sue.Strat wrote:What platform is it out on? I may have to watch thisspike wrote:okay, ID4 is out.

Some of the pictures are pretty. But man, this movie so blatantly ripped itself off.Strat wrote:If i can get through Bat V Sup....I can do thisSelf wrote:I'm not a movie critic guy and I usually find some enjoyment in just about anything, but this was so...so...ham-fisted.

Doors closing in the mothership while you're trying to escape in one of their ships? Check.
Guy blowing himself up to take out a mothership? Check.
David Levinson getting the girl at the end? Check. (Particularly ham-fisted, by the way. It made me cringe...and I'm usually too dumb to notice)
Judd Hirsch being overly Jewish? Check.
And the goddamn half-assed retry of "the speech" when a few people started standing up and paying attention. Fuck.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Mike Birbiglia has a new movie out. His first, Sleepwalk with Me, was something of a masterpiece. The newest is called Don't Think Twice, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't trememdous, but it had a good heart and is worth a look.

The Lobster seems like a whole lot of pointlessly high-concept defamiliarization to explore something ultimately facile and straightforward.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
