"super" was a good superhero deconstruction movie

if you dress up in a costume and try to fight crime irl you are a mentally unbalanced individual and you'll get laughed at and shot.

because of that movie he's probably died onscreen more than any other ten actors put together

lots of actors including cruise die in their movies but how many of them die over and over and over again in the same movie

I couldn't google up a count but apparently in the book 160 days are explicitly portrayed, and like the movie there are an unknown number of offscreen deaths that is effectively unbounded just like groundhog day

speaking of things that are bad (assuming we're still talking about zor's posting) i'm like 15 minutes into transformers 4 and it's already stupid

but it has the one dude from silicon valley in it and his character is basically the same so that's amusing anyway

is it wrong that i actually kind of miss shia laboeuf

i couldn't finish it, if that makes you feel any better

the action scenes are barely competent in this one, and that's the only reason to watch a transformers movie. i don't think michael bay is even trying anymore

mark wahlberg has such dreamy green eyes though :allears:

the dark night rises was pretty ungood but there's no comparing it to the relentless cringefest of batman and robin, don't make that kind of comparison lightly

unfunny is bad enough, unfunny and unsexy is fukken potent

whatever you may say about the rest of the movie, for some reason this idea that it was a bad movie because it was unsexy to straight men really bugs me

like you know theres people who liked the batnipples and batbulge right? and the discomfort you feel looking at them is the same discomfort they feel at the 504th closeup on black widow's leather clad rear end?

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
the batnipples were just tacky and stupid, which is to say they were representative of the movie as a while
