Movies

I had plans to watch Gravity, Captain Philips and Wolf of Wall Street, but with so many disappointments lately, I can wait for the DVDs

Posted by: FabioParme on Feb 19, 11:12 in response to Moviesnob's post I honestly think you're picking the wrong movies if...

The fact that I have a small kid (1 and a half year) and another one coming in June is also weighting on my time. And TV has become a great option with top notch shows.

[GOTGX] trailer Moviesnob Feb 18, 21:06

Confirms an Imax 3D release which shouldn't be a surprise at this point but still {nm} notfabio Feb 18, 21:09

I am very excited to see it but there is still something off with the pacing/tone (similar to Thor 2 stinger). The music and humor seem odd {nm} GMov Feb 18, 21:22

What a bunch of a-holes {nm} Bubba_Fett Feb 18, 21:24

Spaceballs 2. :) {nm} Antibody Feb 18, 21:24

I'm a Marvel groupie but yikes...I hoped they actually saved the best punchlines for the movie... tealfan Feb 18, 22:18

Son of R.I.P.D.? {nm} Abraxas Feb 18, 22:56

Farscape: The Movie? {nm} medusa Feb 18, 23:14

Batman & Robin 2: Now with more sidekicks {nm} thatpj Feb 18, 23:40

love the raccoon with folded arms guy. looks like schhhhhhhh {nm} DASavage Feb 19, 04:47

Batista wwe. Lol {nm} mike255 Feb 19, 05:00

I have no idea how the film will open or be received, but that's actually a damn good trailer. Pratt doing the Downey Jr. thing. {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 05:22

"Damn good trailer". Really? With a middle finger joke and all that stupidy? What's the target audience? 12-year kids with no brain? FabioParme Feb 19, 07:21

I didn't say the film would be good, nor do I have much faith. Whoever cut the trailer did a very good job of offering comedy, action and lobogotti Feb 19, 07:38

If what you said is truth, and that most sites sare saying GOTGX is a good trailer, then I'm happy to be in the minority FabioParme Feb 19, 08:23

pretty wide range of opinions, but i think the trailer did a good job setting the tone of the film, introducing the characters, and a making Moviesnob Feb 19, 09:00

The trailer reminded me that awful Ben Stiller superhero movie - Mystery Men FabioParme Feb 19, 09:11

I honestly think you're picking the wrong movies if you're only seeing hobbit and Elysium. Last year was one of the best ever. Moviesnob Feb 19, 10:29

I had plans to watch Gravity, Captain Philips and Wolf of Wall Street, but with so many disappointments lately, I can wait for the DVDs FabioParme Feb 19, 11:12

Wow, congrats! Just hang in there and be patient. TV is great these days, but so are movies. {nm} Moviesnob Feb 19, 11:30

none of those three films will disappoint. here's my list of top 10 from 2013, along with a lot of other films I really enjoyed... lobogotti Feb 19, 11:42

Wow. Actually looking at a list of the flicks of '13, I'm impressed with how many I liked. A lot of those HMs were very excellent. {nm} Willroast Feb 19, 23:10

I find this conversation interesting because like you, I detest potty/crude humor. Fart jokes and the like are not for me. However, I don't lobogotti Feb 19, 09:14

Not pretentious or condescending at all, but you can't trash SOA!!!!!! FabioParme Feb 19, 09:29

it's my wife's favorite show and I'm sure Jax has something to do with that. :) {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 10:18

Jax has this effect on women. My wife loves the show as well! {nm} FabioParme Feb 19, 11:07

she's on their FB page and has a couple TShirts as well. I can also say that many of my friends watch this show, a few love it very much. {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 11:10

Last time I was in US in May, I bought SOA T-shirts for my wife and I. Got the one with the Reaper. Pretty awesome! FabioParme Feb 19, 11:22

I'd also suggest The Killing (I've only seen the US version) and Luthor (BBC). {nm} Willroast Feb 19, 23:14

btw Fabio, try these shows if you haven't seen them yet... lobogotti Feb 19, 11:12

The Wire and The Sopranos I saw them already. I'm watching True Detective as well. Boardwalk Empire I quit after the pilot FabioParme Feb 19, 11:19

Orphan Black was a very good first effort. look forward to what they can do. BE is slow at first, but the 2nd half of the 1st season lobogotti Feb 19, 11:29

I guess The Walking Dead is also a guilty pleasure for me. So much hype, monster ratings and the show is average at best FabioParme Feb 19, 11:36

I doubt I will ever stop watching TWD, but like you said, it's average. I want it to be so much better, but it's okay that it isn't. {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 11:44

It has so much potential, but I think the shows lacks a bit of purpose FabioParme Feb 19, 11:55

agreed! {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 12:03

You guys have hijacked a GOTGX trailer thread. Start a new one on the Life Board :) {nm} Antibody Feb 19, 12:15

think we're through now, but sorry about that. it was initially about GOTGX though and morphed into TV interests. {nm} lobogotti Feb 19, 12:26

Man, at 35, and no offense, but I hope you come around on the cynicism bud. There's way more time to hate stuff once you actually get old. {nm} Willroast Feb 19, 23:08

Hoonka-Chaka Hoonka-Chaka ! {nm} RazorHawk Feb 19, 07:45

This trailer is EXACTLY what it should be... and that is a good thing carywhitt Feb 19, 08:03

yes, I think they made the right decision to give Pratt a Downey Jr. vibe, and allow him to be a smart-ass. lobogotti Feb 19, 08:14

Will be a great summer movie...Marvel has another hit on their hands. I'm all in... {nm} gbcox Feb 20, 22:39

wtf @ the price falling! I like the trailer. Looks better than Captain America 2. {nm} CactusLand Feb 19, 15:33
