I have not seen it. Generally speaking, I'm not really drawn to martial arts movies.

This is more of a comedy, but does involve martial arts.

I explain (in quite a bit of detail) why I like the movies I mention and why I think "so bad it's good" is a dismissive misnomer. I don't like terrible movies. That's kind of what the whole piece is saying.

The terrible movies comment was a throw back to a few days ago. But you do like terrible movies. But you do a very good job of explaining why and how (to you) they aren't terrible.

It was a fine article, friend. And I know you're not trying to talk down to anyone. But it does come across that way. I just wanted you to be aware of that. It works both ways, that's all.

Watch Miami Connection instead.

Yes, do that.

What about that movie cost $1 Million in fucking 1987?!

I don't usually like the purposefully "so bad it's good" stuff, as you can't be in on the joke for it to be funny, but I give a pass to Kung Fury for having its own voice and inventiveness. Its a pretty good spoof movie. And is short, so it doesn't wear out its welcome.

"This is the end" made me lol so hard

The length of Kung Fury is perfect. But I also hesitate to use the word spoof. That's probably a part of it, but it doesn't really feel like it's making fun to me. Which I associate with spoofing. Which is maybe my fault. Not that you can't make fun of something you love, but Kung Fury feels like a real heart project. It comes across as completely free of irony to me. It's just a blast.

But, yeah, any longer and it couldn't sustain itself as is.

It is what it is.It is was it is.

That's de*p as fu*k, Bu*t.

Man of Steel really sucked. The first 20 min was so good & then it just sank into shitty.

Big Hero 6 was a surprise.

MegaMind was great too.

The Kingsmen was nuts. Very fun.

HER was really good. No typically my type of movie.

the new Godzilla was not good.

Unbroken was zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I had fun watching this

I wonder if I'll ever have a strong desire or NEED to see a movie in a theater again.

lv, who are 5 of your very favorite presently working actors?

Hmm, tough one. Off the top of my head (and excluding Mel and Cruise, since my love for them is well-known):

Tom Hardy
Oscar Isaac
Parker Posey
William Fichtner
Tyrese Gibson

Again, that's very much an "off the top of my head" answer.
