Edge of Tomorrow, innit. Emily Blunt kicked ass in that film, plus that black guy from corrie was in it for some reason.Quote:

Yeah you should. These posts today have made my mind up to watch it, also my own narcissism likes the idea of you as some kind of intercontinental reminder service.Quote:

There were two key things that happened in episode 7 that strongly tipped toward my favor (a host's decision and a revelation).Quote:

I saw that post on imgur, too. It's not my kind of thing but I listened to that vid this morning and lasted the whole 4 minutes, which is a personal record for me on jewtube.Quote:

Stuff happens, it's just poorly acted and really hard to care about any of the sub-plots in the filler episodes.Quote:

Hehehe You would not believe how effective the words, "I am happily married, and have 2 kids" are. Well...you've got an idea...Quote:

Presumably that's where Tom Cruise must show up then.Quote:

I forget what happened in that season but I think they broke the show because it never returned for another year.
:lol: Mary will never get that.Quote:

I'm led to believe that should the presentability of living quarters come into question, it's considered acceptable to enquire at a raised volume how she'd fucking like to spend all day clearing up after the kids while I'm dicking about with numbers you inconsiderate twat.

I was waiting for a younger, fatter version of Tom Cruise to be on the judges panel or something. Didn't recognise her at all until a minute or so in.
Still /would, btw, even though she's a bit of a whale. I prefer the updated version but if modern science could provide me with a way to do both then I'm in.

Edge of Tomorrow was OK.
Oblivion was OK.
Minority Report was OK.
Tom Cruise has appeared in a few OK science fiction movies.
I also think the Mission Impossible films are OK two.
I liked Jack Reacher, it was OK+
I am going to give the new one a shot soon. Preview looked good.Quote:

Quite looking forward to that and The Beancounter, starring the bad batman.

I remember being disappointed when Tom Cruise was announced as Reacher, but he's made a decent fist of it. Although some of his films have been dodgy, he delivers in all of them - I don't know why people look down on him as an actor unless it's the scientology thing, which would be a bit mental.
Why do you think he's been neutered in this one, Idol?
he always plays good, All-American, clean-minded, dependable characters. Finding out he is loony as fuck in real life *does* challenge that. i *eventually* watch his filums, but I'm not eager to.Quote:

Provided he hasn't risen and subsequently descended to the wankpit control station; I think I know something movie related before the Canadian oracle:

Was that really the fking tagline? That's terrible. :lol:
Usually they withhold the long lost kid trope until further down the lifecycle of a series when they have either run out of ideas or the star is beginning to get a little too long in the tooth to be believable in action scenes ( ie Die Hard. Rocky. Indiana Jones etc) .Quote:

That and in this particular case it dertracts sgnificantly from the whole premise of the character who is suppose to be this epitome of an outsider.He is also suppose to be sort of this unstoppable force of justice which isn't helped by him being not even the biggest badass in the film. In the first movie the villan(s) only survived up until the point he uncovered and confronted them. In this movie he actually at several points runs from them.
Then there's the whole "partner" bit. Action heroes of this type don't have partners, they have sidekicks which sometimes rise to the occasion or in the case of "buddy" movies like Lethal Weapon the partner is a screwup or at least a a significantly lesser threat. Not so in this film.
I appreciate that they chose to give a woman a strong part but if someone else is capable of doing what the hero does then there is not too much real point to the hero, is there?
The actual tagline should be "Sure it's a piece of formulatic crap but it's still Citizen Kane when compared to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".Quote:

I like that.
I say this knowing that if Chavis reads this post he will tell me it was pish compared to the graphic novel.
However I have never read the graphic novel.
Sew it goes.
Bit of a heads up, I have been having a bit of bother accessing torrent sites using the normal browsers.
https://1337x.to/ being my fave.
However if I use Tor, no probs.
Macks agreement, that film is koala tea.Quote:

When I heard that Scarlett Johansson, a white american would be playing Motoko I thought that's dumb. But after watching the trailer I'm now looking forward to it. Looks like The Puppet Master will be the villain, I was hoping they'd go for The Laughing Man but I suppose it makes cents to start at the beginning.
I'd post the trailer but my phone browser would never allow it :eyebrows:
It's okay, I wouldn't watch it anyhow.Quote:

That makes a lot of sense to me, cheers. It's probably why the author only chose to bring the possible offspring story-line into the series after 16 installments.Quote:

I don't recall the burd being anything like a 'partner' in the book, btw, so it will be interesting for me to sit there while watching it and occasionally shake my head disapprovingly, as is my wont.
It was the clockster on this very forum who recommended the Reacher novels. Wonder if he got his beautiful RX7 up and running :eyebrows:
I don't look forward to any non Tom Cruise science fiction because even the good Oscar winning films like Gravity are Bullock and even the truly great films like 2001 still aren't To Kill a Mockingbird.Quote:
