Guardians 2 is such trash.
I hated Infinity War so much, I didn’t bother with Endgame.

Age of Ultron was mega disappointing, but I never understood the hate that GotG 2 gets.

I never understood the hate Ultron gets.

I understand the hate of Black Panther. It's merely OK at best. Andy Serkis and Michael B Jordan are excellent villains though.

People "hate" GotG2 because it doesn't do anything different or new from GotG1. I think people were expecting much more out of Gunn.

Skipped Ultron. Hated GotG 2. lol

[DFA1979]

My Neighbor Totoro is just okay.

Awwww hell nah!

Wait wrong thread. I'll allow it.

[DFA1979]

I liked GOTG 2 as much as the first one, but I slightly prefer the first flick.

Here's one...

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is really good.

There’s a great documentary on Shudder called Scream Queen!, and I’d say it’s far better than Nightmare 2.

Decent, imo. I'm due for a rewatch.

You know, sometimes, in the dark of the night, when nothing but my demons and I are awake, I ask myself this: Is it possible that you have been lying to yourself all these years, maintaining a facade to fit in with larger society, to avoid being ostracized into oblivion, in order to avoid the truth: you like Die Hard 2 more than Die Hard.

My rational cinematic intelligence still maintains that the first is more tightly constructed (except for the awful body double work) and relentless, and that the second dives deep into preposterousness, turning McClane into a superhero impervious to physics. But....but...but... why do I feel closer to Die Hard 2? Why do I get more exciting about the prospect of watching that?

Also, Terminator 3 is very, very good. Sure, it maybe cuts out too much flab, but the chase scene with the crane is awesome, and the ending is almost perfect.

Because it's more Christmasy?

For years I was convinced the second was better than the first. I even came up with a theorem that said the second movie in every trilogy ever was the best, as long as it was a continuing story. I.e. Indiana Jones was disqualified from the theorem since the second movie is a prequel.

I like the expanded scope and seeing more people trying to figure out what is going on (I love to watch organizations react to disasters - it is something I have always found interesting, the mobilization of resources in the face of disaster) and it is a little more brutal.

[megladon8]

I've had the "You Got Me Burnin'" song from the Tech Noir club scene in Terminator stuck in my head for like 3 days

That scene is monumental.

Not attacking...but has trans been hacked? He says T3 is very very good? Am I in the upsidedown?

This is why I love Volcano over Dante's Peak.

Yeh that's weird. The crane chase is great but everything else fucking blows.. including the ending.

This is a super-cool poster for a bitchin' movie.

One of my favorite books.

I love Relic. When I saw it in the theater, I was worried how the creature would look until I saw Stan Winston’s name pop up in the opening credits.

I just bought Crooked River from Preston and Child, their latest novel.

Die Hard 2 is up there with Godfather 2, Aliens and Empire Strikes Back as one of the best sequels ever. As preposterous as it gets, Die Hard 2 has a huge ace up its sleeve, and it's everything we love about good action movies, namely a tangibility and realness to its actions scenes done with stunt work and miniatures. In fact, I don't even find it preposterous, it really works on a dramatic level also, although I will admit those grenades had a godawfully long fuse. Even that doesn't matter when the ensuing shot is fucking awesome.

I still think T3 is the best Terminator sequel. There's a huge gap between T2 and T3 nonetheless, but the attempts of later films to either replicate what came before or push the franchise into convoluted narratives have become exasperating and desperate. Both Salvation, Genisys and Dark Fate have their merits. The former goes all out in change of setting, the middle one takes some chances, the latter goes for nostalgia and takes some chances but that doesn't mean it works. Beating a dead horse is the right word, T3 didn't yet have that pungent stench for me even if I'll never find a Terminator film entirely worthless.

And T3's ending really is very good. How else could it have ended? It makes perfect sense.

[Skitch]

I love T3s ending, the rest of it is so full of garbage comedy and stupid stuff I think it's the least of all the Terminator films.

I'm so far behind at this point. When I retire, I should never have nothing to do.

I just watched a Caravan of Garbage ep on youtube a week or two about it that made some good points. Why the hell does John think this terminator would remember anything he taught him? Is John a total moron? I didnt mind Nick Stall in the role at all.
