General Movie Discussion Thread

I found out that Dr. Serizawa has returned in the new Godzilla movie. Hell yes...

Also looks like there might be a return of the oxygen destroyer as well.

[SoonDragon67]

Holy crap, Monster X might be in the new film!

He is the only Godzilla monster thus far that has a unique response from all the others.

"[ALERT] The unidentified phenomenon is approaching your area. Please prepare accordingly."

**** YEAH!

EDIT: As it would turn out, typing in only "monster" gives you the same response. And the thousands of Kaiju fans fall into a giant, sad "awwwww"

[SoonDragon67]

Also typing in devil gives you the following...

"Hazmat crew dispatched to Mojave desert"

So could a demon themed monster be possible?

Gravity was good not the best movie from the director. It had some fantastic tracking shots

It feels like a long short film

if that makes any sense

I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about with Gravity. Being that it's a critical darling with two profoundly overrated stars in the lead, I'm sure I'll hate it.

bullock is useless, but i like Clooney..i found Read After Burning to be total drivel, but he and Malkovich were the only good bits.

[miketheratguy]

I have yet to see a movie where George Clooney isn't playing George Clooney. To be fair I haven't seen a lot of George Clooney movies, but that's precisely why.

I all but hate Sandra Bullock. She used to be harmless and cute. Just that spunky girl who was entertaining in supporting roles here and there and in the occasional rom-com or cornball comedy where her negligible talents wouldn't interfere with anything. When she won a fucking Oscar for "I'm a proud white southern momma so you best not trifle with my big black retarded football-playing adopted son" comedy / drama / feelgood dreck and she seemed almost arrogant about it I vomited in my sink.

[WSS?]

I despise George Clooney.

while all this is true she has fantastic legs on her

[miketheratguy]

I found Sandra Bullock to be adorable in Demolition Man. I thought that was the cutest she ever looked, and I liked her in it. The aforementioned "she's relatively useless but as a goofy supporting character she's fun". That's about it though. I honestly don't think I've liked her since then. And now that she believes herself to be a serious actress- which, again, seems to be the result of a "that's so super, good for you" encouragement vote from the Oscars- I find her presence irritating. Stick her with Clooney- who, as Brawn correctly observed, is totally worthy of hate- and you have a recipe for drek. Which is why I'm curious to see why every critic in the known universe is fapping raw over Gravity.

MUTO Videos 4 and 5 released. Three still has yet to be released because it would confirm Half Life 3 and we don't want that...

[SoonDragon67]

And here's the third MUTO video...

[miketheratguy]

Okay, I'll finally bite: When did "Half Life 3 confirmed" become a thing?

Also, thanks to one particularly bitchy review from a guy who doesn't care, I now know exactly where the cliffhanger ending of Desolation of Smaug occurs. If anyone wants to be spoiled on it, let me know.

Sure, tell me.

[miketheratguy]

I'll PM you. Since you know the story you (presumably) won't have anything ruined by the knowledge but since it IS revealing the very end of the film I really don't want to somehow let anything slip for those who aren't familiar with the material or just want to be surprised.

[SoonDragon67]

So yeah, it appears that there will be mutated humans in the new Godzilla movie having to do with radiation. There will also be quarantine zones.

[miketheratguy]

Sounds like they're giving a lot of the movie away, with the exception of Godzilla's actual appearance.
