[QUOTE=stupid07er;48821193]Same can pretty much be said for anything MST3K/Rifftrax. There's a few where even their commentary can't save it but for the most part they turn crap into a good time.[/QUOTE] MST3K is fun but I generally end up having two gripes with each episode: I don't understand most of their references and at least one of their skits doesn't hit for me. Still, most of the time it's a lot of fun.

[QUOTE=meppers;48826963]my only problem with the Martian was the [sp]tarp sealing the airlock, i mean come on[/sp][/QUOTE] Yeah that was the most unbelievable part for me. [sp]Mars is essentially a vacuum, so a door that large would need to withstand on the order of 100,000 newtons.[/sp]

Moonrise Kingdom 5/5 I like The Royal Tenenbaums a little more, but now this is my second favorite Wes Anderson movie. Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

wes anderson captures the charming magic of cinema in a way that no other director ive ever seen can i love basically all of his movies, particularly Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox

[QUOTE=Scot;48825245]They're both good. They're also not comparable at all outside of the format.[/QUOTE] The Blair Witch was boring as fuck. Could have cut half of it out and had the exact same film.

[QUOTE=Falubii;48827904]Yeah that was the most unbelievable part for me. [sp]Mars is essentially a vacuum, so a door that large would need to withstand on the order of 100,000 newtons.[/sp][/QUOTE] I can look past scientific inaccuracies in movies but that repair job violates the rules set by the movie. [sp]If the air pressure can send that airlock flying through the air a sheet of plastic won't do shit. I was screaming inside my head while matt damon took his helmet off while inside, I thought he was making a barrier that would last a few hours so he could move his supplies that can't be exposed to the martian atmosphere from sealed vaults to carrying cases or something like that, NOT LIVE THERE.[/sp]

The Martian Underwhelming. I think mostly because I knew exactly what was going to happen at every turn. Not because I'm a genius but because I've seen the trailer and also know how these kinds of movies typically go. Obviously the first rescue mission will fail. Obviously something major will go wrong. Obviously everyone will survive. It was so predictable that I was actually pretty damn bored for most of the movie. I kept thinking about Gravity and how I would much rather be watching that.

[QUOTE=meppers;48826963]my only problem with the Martian was the [sp]tarp sealing the airlock, i mean come on[/sp][/QUOTE] Fun fact: Mars's Atmosphere is 60850 times less dense than earth's. So, yeah, not that unbelievable.

Youve Got Mail What can I say, I'm a sucker for Tom Hanks romcoms. Obviously nothing special, but I always watch it with my mom when its on TV, so it has some personal signifigance. I love this movie even though its not great.

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;48829521]Fun fact: Mars's Atmosphere is 60850 times less dense than earth's. So, yeah, not that unbelievable.[/QUOTE] [sp]If Mars had an atmosphere comparable to Earth's it would be believable. Because there is no pressure being provided by the Martian atmosphere, all of the force holding in the habitat's gas must be provided by the plastic on the door. That plastic had to provide the same force required to hold up a 30,000 kg object.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Falubii;48829758][sp]That plastic had to provide the same force required to hold up a 30,000 kg object.[/sp][/QUOTE] I'm not going to pretend i understand how you got that number, but it is NASA and it is 2035. 30 tons seems feasible if you don't pass the thing as just ordinary plastic.

The pressure inside the station was like 12 something psi, basically 1 atm for an order of magnitude estimate. Force is just pressure times area, so 3E6 newtons, or the same as the gravitational force on a 30,000 kg object on Earth. Even if NASA had a magical tarp, it was secured using duct tape, which was definitely just plain duct tape (pretty sure they comment on it somewhere in the movie).[/sp]

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930): 10/10 All Quiet on the Western Front (1979 Uncut): 8/10 I've seen both of these before, however I had not seen the uncut 1979, only the cut. That to me makes it an 8/10 rather than a 7/10 due to what got added back in. Both are very well done, and each have their own strengths and their own weaknesses. The original for example suffers from over-acting at times (especially from Lew Ayres), but that is easy to understand since many of the actors were used to acting in silent films, where that was required and AQOTWF was made in that transition period. I can't really pin the biggest flaw in the 1979 version, but it just lacks something that the original doesn't. All the actors are great (Ernest Borgnine and Louis Wolheim are equal in the role of Katczinsky for example), the sets were great, the story was obviously great, but it just lacks something. I can't really pin what it is. However, the uncut version definitely alleviates that a bit. For example, in the cut version, the audience is just supposed to know who Himmelstoss is, as the characters all obviously do. The original, and book, do set him up as the town's postman. The uncut version adds in a cut-scene where he is introduced, and makes it that much better. I think the differences between the two are most interesting as well. The original follows the book pretty much exactly, however is told linearly without flashbacks. The 1979 version takes a bit more liberty with character deaths, but is told mainly via flashbacks and with a narrator - like the book. It's an interesting dichotomy to witness, especially after having read the book (and I have so many times). Overall, they're two films I think anyone should see. Not to mention, it created (imo) one of the more famous shots in a movie [t]https://83by72.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/give_him_a_hand.jpg[/t]

The Avengers: Age of Ultron 3.5/5 I still don't really understand all the hate surround this movie. There's nothing offensively bad about this movie, it's just okay. There's some good moments, particularly the farm scene, nightmare scenes and the Vision's introduction. The action scenes tend to drag, everybody is too sarcastic and jokey and Ultron is not particularly intimidating. Seriously, he needed to be more mechanical. The fact that he jokes around and "forgets" things makes him too human. Maybe that was the point, to try and make him seem like a fusion of metal and humanity, but it doesn't work. He has no edge. I think I said all this before when I first saw this movie, but it's still how I feel. It's not a particularly bad movie. It's a disappointment because it could have been better. Easily. Also, Disney needs to stop teasing with deleted scenes. I first noticed it with Guardians of the Galaxy, because James Gunn (and the outtakes) pointed to cut scenes that weren't included in the mix. Now here, Joss cut about 45 minutes from the movie, and we only get about 12 back. I mean, what the fuck? Fury was able to cut nearly an hour out and they still showed all of it. That just blows.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48827175]Sleepaway Camp (1983) - 5/10 Pretty generic "Slasher at a summer camp" movie, but the ending absolutely ruined whatever buildup the movie had. Don't watch it if you want something special, but a couple of the kills are pretty neat.[/QUOTE] I remember seeing this movie having never heard of it before at an allnight horror thing one of the cinemas here does every once in a while-- the entire film just feels like softcore kiddy porn with a slasher backdrop to justify it all. Honestly one of the most fucked up uncomfortable things I've ever watched. Disgusting piece of child exploitation. Director is 100% a pedophile.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;48830701] I still don't really understand all the hate surround this movie. There's nothing offensively bad about this movie[/QUOTE] Let's see: - The titular character is for the most part an ineffectual villain who doesn't seem to know what he wants to be, lacks every traits that make him incredibly menacing in the comics, behaves like a complete idiot at times and, of course, kicks the bucket by the time the movie is done. As to say, he's a MCU villain - Baron von Strucker "involvement" - Bruce Banner is given a romance subplot with Black Widow, which doesn't add anything relevant to the movie and comes out of nowhere, given Banner does have a love interest already and the relationship between him and Natasha in the first Avengers verges on hostile - SHIELD related characters return once again as unsufferable Mary Sues (Nick Fury was supposed to have gone rogue after the tremendous fallout of the SHIELD/HYDRA affair, but he returns here to look cooler than anyone else and in the end is back on the scenes as cool as ever; Black Widow is supposed to get the audience sympathy with her tragic backstory and her troubled romance with Banner, but let's be honest, she's pretty low in the "my past sucks" scale compared to many characters in the MCU and, as mentioned above, said romance is extremely shallow; Hawkeye is portrayed as a concerned family man and one can already tell his family won't suffer anything through the whole movie and their involvment is yet another ploy to draw the sympathy of the audience) - A lot of screentime is dedicated to set up the events of phase three to the detriment of the film's own plot (for references, see Thor's subplot) - The humor is shallow, forced and lacks a fondamental quality of humor: being funny. As to say, it's the humor of a MCU movie - The characters' constant wisecracking and absolutely not taking ANYTHING seriously at any point during the story (like, I don't know, [sp]A FUCKING CITY ABOUT TO DROP ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE EXTINCTION OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE[/sp]) make the audience feel everything on screen is just comedic and a farse, ruining what little tension and pathos there may be in some particular scenes

Anyway, [B]The Martian 8.3/10[/B] I thought Interstellar had killed my interest in this sub-genre of Sci-fi, turns out it didn't. Yes it was predictable in places but I still found myself enjoying it. Don't really care about what was accurate or not and personally I think this film treats its audience a lot nicer than a lot more average films do. Also [sp]I bet my Synthwave music would drive Matt Damon's character madder than Disco music ever would[/sp]

semi relevant but i don't see why anyone thinks interstellar is a bad movie sure its fine if you dont enjoy it but i dont see how its bad in any shape or form the visuals, soundtrack, acting, and scientific accuracy are all good as fuck

oh my god this interstellar argument AGAIN

A House On Haunted Hill (1958 with Vincent Price) Probably not the best horror movie Price has done, but it still had a lot going for it most of the movie. The ending was rather disappointing and felt abrupt, though. 5/10

[QUOTE=Katska;48832739]This is my main problem with this movie, and incidentally my main problem with The Martian.[/QUOTE] Well, at least with The Martian it was really just Watney's character that was the funny man while just about everyone else in the film and book played things straight and took the situation seriously. With Avengers EVERYONE got in on the wisecracks, with no seriousness to balance it out. Speaking of The Martian, I definitely enjoyed the film, though I can't help but think the format of the book would work better as a 10-12 episode TV series. With the film...(vague spoilers)[sp]it was adapted VERY well all things considered, but they skipped over so many of the things that went wrong on Mars that I didn't really feel like Watney was in as much danger as he SHOULD have been.[/sp] Cast and visuals were outstanding though.

Summer Camp Nightmare (1987) - 7/10 It's alright. Gets super fucking dark at around the end of the 3rd act. I'm reminded a lot of Lord of the Flies.

Whiplash 5/5 Oh my god, that was intense. Great movie, JK Simmons is the man.
