Movie Thread

I figured the movie has been out for a while so no need for a spoiler:

Just saw DOFP. Yeah, I know its been out for a while.

Easily the best comic book/superhero movie of all time. There isn't much to be said that hasn't already been said. Amazing.

I just can't wait for Apocolypse. I don't even know how its possible to fully capture his character on the movie screen. That will be interesting to see.

I still rank The Avengers at #1 when it comes to best superhero film, and that is simply based on the amount of action. DOFP was great, just wanted to see more of the mutants using their powers than what we got.
 
I think too much action would make it feel less real to me. I love the new style of these superhero movies and how they try to create a world where the viewer thinks its possible this could happen.

The sentinels were bad ass in the future...just like portrayed in the cartoons.

So you think Lokey was a good villan? His acting was turrible too.

I could make fun of your spelling, but I won't. Loki was a great villain. And Tom Hiddleston was great as Loki. Generally considered one of the best of the Marvel Studios villains if not the best.

You mean you could, but it would come across as NERD.

Anyway, he didn't do anything special and had a staff and some horns sometimes. Awesome villain. Really menacing!
 
Loki wasn't supposed to be "menacing" in the same way as say Malekith. But were the Joker or the Scarecrow menacing? One was a guy in a mask with some spray that made people insane, the other was just insane.
 
I saw draft day the other day and while I thought the split screen editing was nice the movie has some serious logic holes in it. I was already pissed that a movie tha touts its realisim left out the booing of dictator Goodell in the draft. No doubt at the request if Goodell's massive ego. First the linebacker who said he can't feed his family with what he would from being drafted in the 20's. Some people raise 2 kids on 30k or less a year and he can do it for over 1 mill a year? Then the browns gm has to ask someone what their cap situation is. Are there really gms that don't know their own cap situation? Later he has to ask what his team needs are. Really? They want him to come off as competent and he doesn't even know his team needs? Also there is no way any gm makes that trade for #1 without waiting till the draft started. I can't believe the Jags would allow themselves to be portrayed as incompetent enough to trade the #6 pick for 3 second round picks. I like second round picks but that's an unfathomanly bad trade. They should have had Ditka as the Jags GM, atleast then it would be believable that he would make that trade. So they end up taking a linebacker first overall who was likely to go in the 20's and with the number 6 pick take a rb at a time where taking rb's early is seen as a dumb move. Its not like the Browns took a highly touted rb in the top 10 that busted recently or anything. Thank god the saints are good now so they werent involved in this abomination of logic. I probably would have lost it if they had them making that trade the Jags did.

I'm probably alone in this, but it was far and away my favorite film of the year and should have won Best Picture. Also, June Squibb should have won Best Supporting Actress, without question.

You're not alone on that: I agree, on both accounts.

I had to look up the Oscars because they were so damned forgettable. The chick who won you knew would win. She fit the mold of the surprise winner. Like when what's her name won it for the Help.

Still pissed Leo didn't win. No one JMO had a dynamite performance, ala DDL or Colin Firth, give it to the guy who's paid his dues in high quality performances. Like when Bridges won for Crazy Heart which was hardly his best performance.

I would have gone:

Best Picture -- Nebraska
Best Actor -- Leonardo DiCaprio
Best Supporting Actress -- June Squibb
Best Original Screenplay -- Nebraska

I haven't seen Blue Jasmine yet, but—as much as I love Cate Blanchett—it's hard for me to say Amy Adams didn't deserve the nod for America Hustle; I thought her performance was the best part of that film (though she was even better in The Master). I might also quibble with Leto's win for Dallas Buyers Club, since Jonah Hill was surprisingly great in Wolf of Wall Street, but Leto was pretty convincing himself; Will Forte wouldn't have been a bad choice, either, and he wasn't even nominated.
