I think Kush was inferring "franchises".

*is actually super-hype for BvS after the second trailer*
Gimmee all the snarky SuperBats 83 *shot* (Man I never thought I'd be this eager to see a film in theaters, let alone a comic book movie. OTL Next year can't come fast enough.) On another note, in terms of movies I recently saw, I actually caught up on The Hunger Games sequels last weekend. I've read the books and saw the first film when it came out but wasn't impressed (especially with Jennifer Lawrence's acting - I mean I know her character's supposed to be kinda wooden but still), so I didn't bother following the rest Spoiler: show *shakes head and sighs at more child abuse and despair* Overall, the film series, like the books, was decent insofar as dystopian young adult stories go. I enjoyed them, if staying up all night to finish is any indication. XP P.S. Dat "Hanging Tree" song is beautiful.

Quantum of Solace: the second in the Daniel Craig series of James Bond films, this is one I've been wanting to see for a long time. Big fan of Casino Royale. So is my dad. So I got him this and Skyfall for Christmas.

I think if you skipped QS and went straight for Skyfall you wouldn't really miss anything.

In The Heart Of The Sea is pretty good. Dark, dank, well acted. The premise is really lame but otherwise good film.

Watched Star Wars. The Force Awakens wasn't a trainwreck, and considering the reception of certain Star Wars films, I'm somewhat relieved that this one wasn't an utter mess.

Watched a number of films over the holidays, the ones I had not seen before:
Bridesmaids is pretty funny. The pacing is a bit off in parts and it's moderately difficult to engage with it because the main character is such a horrible person but there's a lot of very human stuff. Great cast, some great lines in it. I like that you keep seeing her life go down and down the crapper and I also like that her efforts to fix it aren't immediately successful. I also really liked the mother. Mean Girls (yes I finally watched Mean Girls) is great. Again, they're all awful people, but it's pretty true to life I think. Many women I know have said this is exactly how it works and I can see why. Great lines, great showing up of people being bitches, and about half a dozen quotes that I use regularly that I didn't realise were from this film. It's a good one no doubt. |

I quoted Mean Girls in Skype a couple days ago and was met with blank stares.
A sad day indeed. |

The cafeteria scenes in Mean Girls were filmed at my high school.
Also, I saw The Revenant the other night. It would've been a very different movie if my friends and I weren't cracking jokes throughout the movie, half of which were spongebob or star wars related. EDIT 1/17/16: Whoop saw The Big Lebowski twice today.

Deadpool is quite good. Doesn't pass the Bechdel test or have anyone of meaningful non-whiteness but if you're not worried about such things and looking to go see a film like Deadpool you'll probably enjoy it.
Don't bother waiting for the after credits, but do watch the main credits. |

Hah. Nice.
I also forgot that Blind Al is actually white in the comics so go Deadpool for inserting diversity. |

Deadpool. Amazing. Minor issues with details here and there, but the film was great. Negasonic Teenage Warhead has telepathic/precognitive powers, not explosive telekinesis. Angeldust definitely doesn't have Colossus ball crushing super strength.
But the bigger issue is how I feel about Deadpool's impact on future films though. There's already rumors of YET ANOTHER Fantastic Four remake which is rated R. Sorry but this is the dumbest fuck shit idea ever. I can understand Wolverine being made rated R, but FF makes no sense. The reason Deadpool is so well received wasn't because of the R rating, but because the movie was made by fans of the comic, not an executive board trying to create a film with mass appeal based on computer data. I imagine Ryan Reynolds is at home everyday now, wearing the Deadpool suit, standing in front of a mirror, touching himself on top his Uncle Scrooge pile of money. |

I don't want to watch Zootopia because like Frozen and (sadly) Wreck-It Ralph, it looks horribly generic.
I know by plot it isn't, but the visual style is about as bland as 3D movies get. That's one of the saddest take-homes of Disney abandoning hand-drawn animation.

So Deadpool was pretty good. Was a little more serious than i was expecting but that was good for a movie. The plot and humor of the comic book wouldn't translate well into a two hour movie without this kind of serious plot I think.
Also I watched the Rooster Teeth movie Lazer Team and it was fairly good for a their first movie. Plot was a little generic and the special effects were a little obviously low budget but ive definitely seen worse come out of higher budget movies. The humor was stellar though as always from rooster teeth. Definitely would recommend it. You can watch it for free with a free trial for Youtube Red |

Anyone seen Little Manhattan (2005)? I did last night and I literally cried so hard at the end...

BvS is fine. If you read it as a treatise on how US foreign policy is post 9/11 it's good, otherwise it's a bit dull.
