Sorry To Bother You really isn't a very good film. Veep does better political satire, Silicon Valley does better corporate satire, and to be honest The Jeffersons deals with race at about the same level/success rate. A rubber horse cock frankly just isn't good enough. More like Unintelligible Film Opinions

The G.I. Joe movies are alright. I enjoy watching them. I'll hop in and say that I love how insane the second one is in context of the first movie. Absolutely nothing follows logically, but they are still playing it like a direct sequel. There's plenty of crappy, illogical sequels out there, but usually those are just lazy writing or studio meddling, but this one was just a masterclass of crazy. For example, they immediately ditch Destro despite bringing him out like 3 minutes before the first movie ended with a "you're out of the band!" What band? The band you had literally 15 seconds before you were arrested and thrown in Magneto-prison? Stormshadow's clan is called the Arashikage Clan. You guys, Arashikage literally means "Stormshadow" in English. Think about that for a moment. Stormshadow went rogue from a group of Ninjas and chose their Ninja-clan name as his code-name. This is like someone defecting from the KGB and operating as "KGB-man" while on the run from the actual KGB. Everybody is like die-hard Cobra operatives and acts like they have been since Day 1, even though the first movie was about fighting some company (I'm pretty sure the only time Cobra was mentioned was in the movie title). And these are just some small gems of insanity from the Erebor that is "GI Joe: Retaliation"

I thought Lee Pace's villain character Ronan in "Guardians of the Galaxy" was fine.

I'm not at all excited about Captain Marvel and I feel really guilty about that.

It is entirely possible to hate Bao for non-racist reasons.

I'm not at all excited about Captain Marvel and I feel really guilty about that. It looks, I don't know, weirdly generic? Kind of a mad-libs redo of the first Thor movie? Kind of a let-down after the incredible 1-2 punch of Black Panther and Infinity War last year? I'm not either and I'm not entirely sure why. I'm sure I'll still end up seeing it shortly after release and enjoying it.

I'm sure I'll still end up seeing it shortly after release and enjoying it. Honestly, I didn't care for Infinity War, but I hear you on Black Panther. Thor Ragnarok and BP were the 1-2 punch for me. I've just come to really dislike Carol Danvers as a character in the comics - she's incredibly authoritarian and a total hawk. They're not likely to go that angle in the MCU, but between her character and the fans of that character with whom I've had the displeasure of interacting, I'm just not interested in this movie. I hate the turds who are trying to tank it on Rotten Tomatoes on the sole virtue of it being a female-led movie because that's a shitty reason for pre-evaluating almost anything, but I'm also not terribly impressed with Carol's hardcore fans hammering me over the head with how Feminist and Different and Wonderful the movie will be and if you don't like it you are obviously not a supporter of your fellow women. The time for Marvel to debut a female-led movie was in 2013 or 2014, and frankly for me it's too little, too late. DC isn't much better, but I got my Wonder Woman and it was almost everything I ever wanted and I'm really bummed I have to wait for the sequel until next year.

Sure, they were just on a hot streak in general (Ant-Man and Wasp maybe being the exception). Yea, that's definitely part of it too. I never got into the character in the comics either (she kind of blew up before I got back into reading regularly and there never seemed to be a great on-ramp, although I guess I could have just gone back), but when she's crossed paths with stuff I've read I've gotten the same 'just not for me' impression. That being said, Captain Marvel has clearly had a fanbase that would have justified doing this sooner and in a way that would have made it feel less...desperate? Black Panther avoided it by having something to say and Homecoming avoided it by, well, being Beloved Famous Character Spider-Man, but the proceedings with Captain Marvel kind of scream "Our main actors are all leaving, THESE ARE YOUR NEW HEROES NOW!". And hopefully it goes without saying, but that shouldn't have anything to do with it being a woman-led movie. I think it would be the same if they were doing like a Namor or Wonder Man or whatever movie.

They had to get rid of Ike Perlmutter; he was, by all accounts, the one keeping Marvel from making a female-led movie. He wouldn't even let Rebbecca Hall's character be the main villain in Iron Man Three.

I'm probably going to watch Captain Marvel and do nothing but nitpick the shit out of all Air Force stuff in the movie.

Up in the Air is an ok, but thoroughly by-the-numbers film that has some nice elements (a good breakout performance by Kendrick) but also some cringingly heavy-handed ones (the cardboard cutouts, Clooney's lectures, he has zillions of frequent flyer miles but his relatives can't afford a vacation, oh however will this get resolved) and which got massively overpraised as insightful and topical just because it came out in 2009 and happened to include (it really isn't what the plot's about) people being laid off.

I liked the book - the movie was unlike the book but both were good. Not something to watch when your company is re-bidding your contract and you're not sure you're going to have a job next week.

I like Topher Grace in pretty much everything I’ve seen him in; he’s never bothered me at all. Same with Justin Long; I really don’t understand the hate for either one.

I wasn't that impressed by the John Wick movies. I mean, Keanu Reeves does shoot a stupid amount of people in coherently shot action scenes, but damn does that get tiresome. Can't one of those 200 dudes he murders shoot him in the head? Are they all near-sighted imperial storm troopers?

Can't one of those 200 dudes he murders shoot him in the head? Are they all near-sighted imperial storm troopers? This argument is furthered by the second movie making it look like nearly every member of society is actually in on this whole underground crime world, so it makes less sense that nobody can shoot straight. That shift in the movie's worldbuilding really bugged me. The first movie basically said, "a ton of dirty businesses exist" which, sure I figured as much. But the second is like, "Uh, actually, it's an entire dirty society. Like, nearly everyone is somehow hooked into this underground crime world," which, what!?

After re-watching Isle of Dogs, I feel comfortable stating that I believe this to be Wes Anderson's finest film.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was pretty great in every way, but it is still only the 4th or maybe 3rd best Spider-Man movie to date. It does have the potential to make a sequel that gets into the top two.

Spider-Man 3 certainly has problems but is widely underrated. Still, nothing matches seeing a well-done Spider-Man on-screen for the first time in the original. Where will Far From Home end up??

Oh, spider verse, I had a brainfart and thought you meant Homecoming. Honestly wasn't even remembering spider verse happened, still need to see it.

I don't get the collective hard-on / ladyboner everyone has for Edge Of Tomorrow. It's a perfectly average, middle-of-the-road sci-fi film which, but for its leading man and budget, would be solid B-movie territory. The repeat / time stuff could come from any one of two dozen Star Trek episodes (usually the ones where the Enterprise / DS9 / Voyager gets blowed up real good) and honestly Cruise could be replaced by just about anyone in the film and it would be better. ScarJo or Damon or someone like that (I'd be tempted to suggest Keanu Reeves but maybe that's a bit on the nose). He doesn't detract from it, but he doesn't really add anything either It's not that this is a bad movie, it's just thoroughly unremarkable.

I'll even add that the same could be said for Oblivion.

Watching Tom Cruise get his ass repeatedly handed to him was a lot more fun than it should have been, and made it a better movie than it would have been with anyone else. I wish they'd stuck closer to the throughline from the book, though - that was more of a punch in the gut and definitely not a happy ending.
