Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I remember when movies weren't just adaptations of super hero comics and children's books.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

I stopped caring about CD when they all jizzed over Pacific Rim.

I figured out the formula for CD Goons. Mechs + fighting giant sea creatures - a plot - interesting fleshed out characters + a bunch of ridiculous stereotypes = asperger's dream come true.

Did I get it right?

Do you? Some of the very first movies ever made were based on children's books. :colbert:

I liked TVIV when we were allowed to post about hate watching crappy scifi/fantasy shows but the mods cracked down on it.

Front-page reviews were getting less and less like reviews, and more like Tumblr dissections where even the most minute detail was hauled up in front of the SJW Courts fo deridement, plus one of the reviewers saw penises in everything. It culminated in a "review" of Gone Girl, which was just.... you know, just check it out for yourself, it's hard to put into coherent words.

Most of CD tried to side with the reviewers as trying something new and different, but week after week people are getting more and more annoyed with the reviews. The last while though has mostly been people rightly making GBS threads on the terrible reviews showing up on the front page. And then not long after their last review, one of the mods showed up in the thread and said "Yeah, those guys don't want to write reviews here anymore. Thread Closed." I don't know if their off reviewing somewhere else, but no one seems to be asking for their return.

Pacific rim was what Godzilla should of been. Godzilla was a huge jack off sesh that only ending in a climax 5 minutes before the movie ended. It's like a travel movie with how much people travel and how little Godzilla wrecks poo poo.

NOT IN A GOOD WAY

I liked interstellar. Agree with rotten tomatoes consensus. See it on big screen. Bigger is better

all he does is just post like pages of copy-paste from zizek though its just blatant now

I think there should be a moratorium on superhero movies. There's just too many of them right now, like there's a new one released every two or three months. Crazy

CD is like, one of the worst subforums and has the dumbest, most pretentious spergs on the earth, including SMG. r/movies is probably less terrible than CD but I dunno, never been there

When they did actual reviews, I didn't mind as much. They did get hung up on a lot of stupid poo poo, though. With each week they really, really, started writing more stupid poo poo. I won't lose sleep over their departure. I don't sleep anyway.
