Help
My reasons for not liking IM3 have nothing to do with The Mandarin. It's simply not an Iron Man movie. It's a decent movie about a guy with PTSD, and alcohol problems, ported onto the first IM movie structure. It's all over the place narratively, and has a 3rd act that KIND of doens't belong.

I just saw the trailer for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2. It hurt me. I felt genuine, physical pain. Netflix, what have you done

I didn't mind what I saw (in a mostly wait-and-see way). That said, while movie trailers have given us a glut of godawful cover songs in recent years, this one is the worst by far.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

I dunno, I think it looks decent. Written by the same guy who wrote the first (story anyways), and starring Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen? Could be damned good.

They've apparently greenlit a film called SADAKO VS KAYAKO which will pit the villain from THE RING against the villain from THE GRUDGE.
Which is a batshit movie idea that never occurred to me before, but I now realize I NEED to see.
Also, #TeamSadako(Samara) forever.

They are both J-Horror (Japanese) series (both of which have been ported to American versions as well)

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Beebop and Rocksteady look worse as humans than as mutants....how is such a thing possible?
Also, Souped up manhole cover-firing van? Check.

Actually now that I say that I realize I only saw The Ring (US) and Ju-On (Japanese) so I dunno.
It should still be Sadako (Samara) who wins. The Grudge is not nearly as compelling a story.

YES! I really liked the first one. This looks even better.
I like the inclusion of Bebop and Rocksteady. It creates antagonists that realistically can go head to head with gigantic turtle mutants.
I wonder what the hell is up with the plot though. The start of the trailer is completely different from the last part (I stopped near the end because I'd seen enough).
What was that coming down through the sky? Marvel Comics cross over? Those Space Triceretops? Can't be Krang, right? Didn't the Terror Drome travel through Earth?

I'm bored. What should I watch while I do some work?
I just finished the masterpiece "Jingle all the Way", as well "The Family Man" starring the best and simultaneously the worst actor in history, and also a movie with a Tom Hanks look-alike called "Cast Away"
I feel there should be a thread where a forumite posts the name of a film that they think is worth seeing, another person watches it if they so choose and then gives a quick review and gets to suggest a movie themselves.
