People who hate The Last Jedi are weird and wouldn't know a quality movie if it hit them in the face.

I woke up this morning and realized that the 1984 "Starman" movie is pretty much Peter Quill's origin story as remembered by his mom (before...you know). It had to be an inspiration in creating Quill's character. It's a really good movie, too, by the way, although now that I have this idea stuck in my head, and knowing the revelations of GOTG 2, I don't know how uncomfortable it would be to re-watch. Nothing to add other than I fucking love me some Starman. It's in my John Carpenter Top 3, just behind Halloween & The Thing.

Reading the latest Age of Heroes at TOC made me realize that I'm not sure if I know the difference between Judge Dredd and Demolition Man in the pantheon of Stallone movies. I'm also not sure I want to figure it out... Demolition Man is in the Wesley Snipes movie pantheon (and would have been even better if the director had realized that Snipes' character is the hero of the film, and Stallone is actually the villain).

I finally get to see Infinity War tomorrow night! And in looking up showtimes, I saw that Black Panther was not only still running here but has almost as many showtimes as Infinity War. When was the last time an actor (let alone multiple actors, assuming many of them reappear in Infinity War) was featured as the same character in multiple new movies screening simultaneously?

Has it ever happened, at least prior to the advent of the comic book universe films? The only thing I can think of is if someone made an appearance or cameo in character in an unrelated work. The closest I can get is the Enterprise showing up in Airplane 2. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I would think not. Unless there was an overlap of other Marvel movies I don't remember. Is it weird that there are still that many Black Panther showtimes and the DVD comes out today? You gotta figure that will bite into their box office. But I suppose when you promise Target a release date you gotta hit it. It's in Walmarts too but you gotta find it under the title All Panther.*
*Has this joke been made? Seems like it has to have been made.

Charles S. Dutton's rally speech in Alien 3 beats Bill Pullman's in Indendepence Day by a country mile.
Fuck yeah!

My favourite cheesy movie speech is the one in Pacific Rim. It helps Idris Elba delivers it.
"Today. Today... At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are *canceling* the apocalypse!"

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a hair on it's ass, Cable would somehow be the one to actually bring down Thanos.

Prince of Darkness used to be on the lower end of the John Carpenter spectrum for me, but it all finally clicked in place re-watching it (for the third time, I think?) the other night.

Taken as an extended episode of Tales From The Crypt or Darkside, Thinner is really quite well done. A good balance between sadistic and silly.
Also, Joe Mantegna is great in everything.

The Love Witch needed an outside editor. Badly.
Anchorman 2, on second viewing, is still a tedious, unfunny slog.
I did not realize that I was seeing Judy King from Orange is the New Black naked so many times when I watched Altered States last weekend. Wowzers.

You know how sometimes you can't sleep so you watch the newer Power Rangers movie even though you were too old to actually watch it in its original hay day but you are aware of it enough to know it just seemed like a cheap, live-action Voltron rip-off and then as you watch the new movie all of that is confirmed, except that the Voltron part is now weightless, city destroying CGI and doesn't happen until the last 5 minutes of the movie and before that was a Breakfast Club, high-school-misfits-band-together style movie that was actually kind of decent? Also, you come to the sad realization that having an campy Elizabeth Banks run around in a latex suit screaming about crystals and Krispy Kreme should be better, but it didn't really doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the movie.

FUCK YOU! First off, Power Rangers is a US adaptation of the Japanese series Super Sentai. While Voltron is based off animated series Beast King GoLion! Super Sentai started in 1975, Beast King GoLion in 81!

People are really invested in the Rey/Kylo Ren relationship. The shipping is going strong. The actors do have great chemistry.

Having your character torture/kill an animal, usually through a flashback to when they were a child, to show the audience that they're a psychopath is lazy as fuck.

Interstellar has all the things I should like in a film, but I find it to be such an unpleasant slog. And I like Disney's The Black Hole (I don't have the nostalgia-factor for that one because it was before my time and I only saw it like eight years ago).

From the IMDb trivia page for Wanted (2008) detailing differences between the film and the graphic novel:
"some characters were not used such as Shithead, a monster made with the feces of 666 of the most evil people on Earth, including Hitler."

So The Incredibles 1 & 2 take place during the 60s? I know there's a retro vibe to the movie, but I assumed they took place in the present day. Then again, the retro-ness of it was a lot more obvious in Part 2 than Part 1.
I watched Part 1 for the first time in a few years over the weekend in preparation for Part 2. When Mirage first contacts Bob, she does it by slipping what looks like an iPad into his briefcase. Bob looks at it in confusion before he figures out how to turn it on. Watching it in 2018 (and assuming the movie took place in the present day), I didn't really get what Bob was confused about. It didn't hit me until after the film was over that the first Incredibles came out in 2004--nearly 6 years before the introduction of the iPad. Kind of amusing that, only 14 years later, what was once amazing futuristic technology is now ridiculously common.

They take place in the same retro-futuristic present as Archer.

The Roku Channel, which is a free streaming service, has a movie category exclusively for knockoff movies by the Asylum, called "No, it isn't really that movie" Does it upset anyone else that these cheap rip-off movies are still being made and distributed? I could understand how people could hope to make a quick buck selling “The Ringlord Fellowship” to brick and mortar stores where you could always count on people renting these things by mistake. But how, in 2018, would anyone watch one of these things intentionally on a streaming service or watch it by accident without turning it off after a couple minutes? What is the financial incentive that keeps these things going?
