I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Off topic but it needs to be said :

Star wars 7, 8 and 9 aren't terrible. Or if they are, they are in the same way 4, 5 and 6 were. (we don't talk about 1, 2 and 3)

Nostalgia is not a synonym for quality.

I'll dissolve into the force on that hill.

Waterworld. I love that movie so much. I've watched the theatrical, TV, and Ulysses cuts. I've read the comics. I've played the games. I bought it on Blu-ray the day Arrow released it.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is a very decent movie. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

Robot Jox... We can both live!

Watched it so many times back in the day. My friend had it on laser disc of all things

Although usually spoofs don’t get any good rating I think this one should be an exception:

Scary movie 3

It honestly did it better than the movies it was making fun of. And it was truly about a scary movie (the tape from the ring).

Also, crack high voltage is way more fun than the rating lets on.

Please tell me you’ve seen Scary Movie 1 & 2?..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh for sure, the first 3 are great, and I’ll even give some credit to 4.

But 3 was peak, there is no scene that feels half baked. Even the subtle gags like the hat getting bigger became a classic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Personally, my only picks are the first two with the Wayan Bros. attached. Scary Movie 3 was not bad but it felt off without the OG creators.

I JUST rewatched Gone in Sixty Seconds on a whim, on like Thursday, and spotted that it apparently has a 38% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck that noise, that movie is a materpiece of filmography.

I'd be in the 9% that rated Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus 10 on imdb.

I had to buy the DVD a second time as someone stole my first one it is that good.

I've always thought percy jackson and the Olympians was alright. Sure it's not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them
