All of my posts were sarcastic.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I was poking fun, dude. It wasn't malicious.Quoting Irish (view post)

Heh just checking. Hard to tell without smilies.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Seriously Irish I apologize if you felt I was attacking you. It wasn't an attack at all I was just trying to be a (funny) smartass.

Seriously? I was the only one that knew it was joking? Wtf ya'll
Ant-Man is a weird Marvel case for me in that I am not really keen on its comedy and (especially) drama, but really like its action scenes.
Midnight Run (1988) - 9
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
Sisters (1973) - 6.5
Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
And also it's wasn't the best box office performance.Quoting Peng (view post)
I thought it was fine, I appreciated that it was reasonably low-stakes. Michael Pena worked. But the plot felt like reheated Iron Man, and felt like they rushed through the middle of the film, i.e. the development of Rudd's character, and I wasn't a fan of how they sidelined Evangeline Lilly's character during the climax. And I know it's a Marvel movie, but the inconsistency regarding the movie's world really confused me after a while. I thought Pym particles compacted mass, but then a tank keychain turns into a real tank, and Scott can somehow to go smaller than mass itself (but still "hear" his daughter). And a train toy can knock a hero over, even though that hero is, again, still a 200-lb person.Quoting Skitch (view post)
I recognize how silly that criticism is, but it's there all the same.
Also, it made Judy Greer into The Mom again, which at this point is becoming a national tragedy. Two big films last year where Judy Greer's job was to beg a hero to be responsible. Eff that noise.
Hey, in Tomorrowland she was the mom on an old videotape for one scene with nothing resembling advice or motivation!Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)

Well, the tank was always a real tank that Pym had shrunk (shrank?).Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
If it was a real tank, the keychain would weigh thousands of pounds.Quoting Milky Joe (view post)
Yeah, well, hmm.

Physics logic/reality is never a thing in comic book movies.
Edit: or books.
The issue isn't physics, it's internal consistency. The film sets up the rules of its world and then breaks them regularly for whatever interests it in the moment.Quoting Skitch (view post)
I admit to being pedantic, sure, but nothing would've been lost with more rigor or at least some sort of handwavey bullshit early on that adds a caveat to the film's rules.
Unconfimred but probably not true that Vincent D’Onofrio wants in Spider-man

I'd love to see David Fincher's Anchorman.
OoOooOoooooOOoh Brie Larson might be Captain Marvel!
Definitely a name I'd hoped they'd consider for a while now. I wonder if she was already in talks back when Whedon shot FX plates for her to show up in Age of Ultron.

Hey I'm all for that casting!Quoting Henry Gale (view post)
I still think Naomi Watts would've been great, too. But I doubt she would do it.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
First name I've heard that I've liked!
From March 2015 when it was rumoured Danvers was cast for Ultron:
I still like all of these choices, in case things with Larson don't work out at the last minute, Joaquin Phoenix-style.Quoting Henry Gale (view post)
EDIT: At that point in time we also hadn't seen Rogue Nation yet, so I'd now add in REBECCA FERGUSON.
