The wrestling podcast I listen to has a premium feed with other shows. They review movies (for a donation) on one show. - Tim Mar 25, 11:14 1
- It's a target-rich environment. -- nm - David Mar 25, 11:15
Darth Trump exists -- (link) - TWuG Mar 25, 11:04 1
- LOL, that's like the best Woody Allen string of dialogue ever. Them constantly interrupting him is perfect. -- nm - Max Mar 25, 11:07
NFL Mock: I just read one where the #1 TE stays on the board all the way to Atlanta (50) in Round 2. Huh. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 25, 11:03 3
- Assuming it's Hunter Henry, that's about right. NFLDS has him at #52 overall. - David Mar 25, 11:08 2
  - (Yes, yes. McShay has him there) -- nm - Strongbad Mar 25, 11:09 1
    - I think we go front seven with our first two picks, and safety would be the most likely third position. - David Mar 25, 11:11
I'm going to link this and let you draw your own conclusions. -- (link) - David Mar 25, 11:02
Props to the the Hispanic gentleman in HEB in Texas wearing the "I just look illegal" shirt -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 10:58

  - lmao -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:06 6
    - I was apologizing to my wife and daughter for taking them to see it before it even left Krypton. They still give me shit for taking them. - TWuG Mar 25, 11:08 5
      - it is a much different tone, I would not expect my kids to like it. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:10 4
        
        Tone wasn't the issue. Spectacle over substance, crappy writting, stupid characters... all those were issues. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 11:12 3
        
        kids and adults have a different perspective. they dont understand all that shit. - groiny Mar 25, 11:14 2
        
        I'll tell my daughter her criticisms were invalid because she was too young to understand the words she was using. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 11:17 1

- Those low grades are surprising. I don't even like most superhero movies; - Loyola Mar 25, 11:04 21
  - Maybe you just have shit taste in superhero movies... -- nm - Ender Mar 25, 11:10 5
    - maybe superhero movies are just a shit genre.. - colin Mar 25, 11:11 4
      - the box office numbers disagree with you -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:12 3
        
        considering how much actual shit Card Against Humanity sold for black friday that one time, I wouldn't use commercial success as my only standard.... -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 11:15
        
        Minions is also one of the top grossing movies of all time. And McDonalds hamburgers are one of the best selling food items of all time. - colin Mar 25, 11:14 1
        
        this is why I think critics are out of touch -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:21
  - IM 2 was pretty good. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 11:07 7
    - I didn't like it much but that could have been because of my expectations. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 11:18
    - If it comes to netflix I'll rewatch it. But I wouldn't call it great. - Beryllium Mar 25, 11:09 3
      - the car chase scene alone is enough reason to rewatch Matrix Reloaded. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 11:10
      - matrix 2 is also garbage -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:10 1
        
        You are garbage! -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 11:11
    - and this is where you lost my vote - groiny Mar 25, 11:09 1
      - cinematically, it's quite nice. Favreau really knows his craft. That for me really helped the movie a lot. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 11:10
  - your IM is not gonna win you any elections. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 11:05 6
    - Thor was pretty good though. -- nm - Loyola Mar 25, 11:07 5
      - Winter Soldier is one of the best comic movies ever. - groiny Mar 25, 11:08 4
        
        See, we can agree on movies. Cap 2 was everything MoS should have been. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 11:13 2
        
        it is not that I dont think we can agree.... - groiny Mar 25, 11:16 1
        
        We obviously put different levels of importance on what pissed me off. The very essence of the character was lost, Imo - TWuG Mar 25, 11:22
        
        I would put it #2 behind Dark Knight. Love it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 11:11
- C- -- nm - Ender Mar 25, 11:02
- B+, I liked it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 11:01
- D+ -- nm - David Mar 25, 11:00
- Z- -- nm - Twug Mar 25, 11:00 1
  - I stick to traditional grading scales, but out of 100 it'd get about a 30. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 11:06
- B+ Much better than Thor: The Dark World -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 11:00 2
  - If MoS is a B+ for you, BvS should be an A for sure, IMO. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 11:01 1
    - all right! -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 11:03
- B -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 10:58
- B -- nm - ML Mar 25, 10:58
- I give it a B. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:57

For those few who still care - Survivor juts got reupped for seasons 33 and 34. Wheeeee! -- nm - Jim Mar 25, 10:56 15
- Jim, I think the luckiest person this past episode was spoiler - crash davis Mar 25, 11:05 4
  - There's a secret scene of his out there talking about just that. He actually said - Jim Mar 25, 11:06
  - oh i was praying so hard - pixie ninja Mar 25, 11:06 2
    - I would have loved to see (spoils) - Jim Mar 25, 11:07

  - Well, the Beauty, Brains, Brawn labels are more guidelines.... (spoils) - Jim Mar 25, 11:00 3
    - i can see Tai - pixie ninja Mar 25, 11:03 1
      - the brawn one was for a supposedly brawny attitude -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 11:03
    - spoiler ??? - crash davis Mar 25, 11:02
  - I'd say spoiler had no social skills. Which makes spoiler's tribe appropriate. -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:58 2
    - it was more than that - pixie ninja Mar 25, 11:00 1
      - Of this entire cast - he's the one I wonder what exactly they saw in him that made them think he'd be good. - Jim Mar 25, 11:01
gorilla egg hunt at the Cincy Zoo -- (link) - pixie ninja Mar 25, 10:56 [youtube]
Ted Cruz has responded and denies it all. Sez Trump and his friends are responsible for this smear. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 10:54 8
- I didn't see that coming. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 11:07
- my favorite wild conspiracy theory is that Trump is a secret Hillary agent -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:56 3
  - !!! -- (link) - ML Mar 25, 10:58 [Backboard] 1
    - I remember that post. You have your moments -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 11:01

- sniveling little cowards! -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 25, 10:55 1
  - debate! debate! debate!.....I'll watch it. I promise -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:56

Groiny, this may be of interest to you. -- (link) - znufrii Mar 25, 10:49 3
- very good article - thanks for posting - Epiphany Mar 25, 11:21
- (I'm interested to hear your thoughts on whether this paints a comprehensive picture of the issue, or are there parts missing?) -- nm* - znufrii Mar 25, 10:50 1
  - i just skimmed it, it seems pretty comprehensive. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:52
Did I tell you the story of the guy pooping in the hallway at my brother's work? No? Oh boy! Read on. - colin Mar 25, 10:47 2
- who cleaned it up? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 11:06 1
  - custodial staff. didn't have the balls to clean it up himself. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 11:08

- Duke sucks. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 25, 10:48
- yeah, but at least he's a loser bag of dicks. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 10:47
Bat Affleck haz the sadz -- (link) - pixie ninja Mar 25, 10:38 22
- seriously, I dont understand why it is getting shit on so hard. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:43 13
  - Looking at his filmography and their RT scores, I think Zack Snyder just doesn't make movies critics like, but fans will. - Tim Mar 25, 10:47 12
    - that makes sense, and also a lot os critics are out of touch. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:49 11
      - I've only seen BvS once (plan to see it again), but critics expect certain things which this movie lacks - con_carne Mar 25, 11:01
      - and yet Deadpool is at 86%, to me the scores would be reversed if they were out of touch. -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 10:50 9
        
        well, Deadpool is the first of its kind superhero movie - groiny Mar 25, 10:53 1
        
        It's also very well written. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 11:09
        
        And yet a steaming POS called Thor: The Dark World is 66%. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 10:52 5
        
        this is a good indictment -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:54 4
        
        I think there are a good number of people just piling on in this case. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:56 3
        
        Pretty much everyone here has already made up their mind, so what can you do? -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 10:57 2
        
        there were plenty of things I thought could have been done better in the movie - groiny Mar 25, 11:00 1
        
        Far from perfect, but for a comic tentpole? Hell yeah it delivers. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 11:02
        
        it feels like a lot of critics want to be well liked as well - it's like there's some agreement to like a few movies, hate a few movies each year - colin Mar 25, 10:51
- one of my favorite Affleck moments was when he went on The Tonight Show and read selected Gigli reviews out loud -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:43 2
  - they were probably better than these -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 25, 10:44 1
    - I haven't read the full BvS reviews, but the Gigli review excerpts he read were brutal towards him -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 10:47
- 30% at RT; My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is at 27% so it is a close one! -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 10:42 4
  - The BvS bashing on this board is about as bad as Spawn's Avatar bashing considering mostly everyone here hasn't even seen it. - Shaun Mar 25, 10:45 2
    - shaun and I give it an A, and Spawn a B-ish - groiny Mar 25, 10:46
    - not bashing, just posting the reviews. -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 10:46
  - a large portion of the crowd cheered in several points in the movie. - groiny Mar 25, 10:45

- I'm working on the 2nd one now. - Mel Profit Mar 25, 10:50

I am sure to get shit for this, but I liked BvS more than Ultron. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 10:30 3
- Ultron was a little too busy but at least it wasn't morose. -- nm* - Max Mar 25, 10:54
- Well Ultron was a steaming pile of shit, so the bar is pretty damn low. - colin Mar 25, 10:32 [Image] 1
  - *infinite fire emojis* -- nm - ML Mar 25, 10:36
