They're actually making a TV show based on the film too with Bradley Cooper making guest appearences...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4422836/


I feel like there's already been a bunch of these shows. Wasn't there one a couple years ago about a guy with a chip in his head? And another one with some guy who had brain surgery or something?


It seems to be a popular genre at the minute - super smarts crossed with police work.

There was that show Intelligence with Sawyer from Lost but it was cancelled after 1 season so I guess that didn't do too well, he had a computer or chip in his brain and you've got Scorpion which has a genius / team working for the FBI.

Then there is Sherlock / Elementary, the Forever lead Henry had top deduction skills too...

They're the ones I know about so aye, a fair few at the minute!

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.

LOL.

I've always wondered what the phrase "Only in Theatres" meant. Is it a reference to TV? I mean where else am I going to watch a newly released movie?

Saw PITCH PERFECT 2 tonight. Very good. It doens't quite hit all the notes that the first one does, but it comes very close.

And consider me impressed with the direction. This is directed by Elizabeth Banks, and you can't tell it's her directorial debut at all. She did a great job.

Just an all around charming flick.

I wonder how they'll be defeated this time...

..phishing scam?

'They're back, and this time they have.. Norton'
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Spy.

Went in with low expectations based on my dislike of bridesmaids and expecting the only funny bits to have been in the trailer.

Statham steals the show, everything he says and does it brilliant.
Same with Peter Serafnotgoingtotryandspellwich.

McCarthy dies the job well enough but turns 'hardnosed bitch' a bit too quickly.

Highly entertaining, best comedy I've seen in the theatre for a few years

I hope that City Ship is just to give us old fans something to connect with and not telling us that a City Ship is Planet sized in the next Invasion phase. I want something new or at least Mothership style. I may just being weird with that though.


I always thought an obvious sequel could center around all the city destroying ships crash landing around the earth. Sure the impacts would have been catastrophic but millions of aliens could have survived, making way for a land war between the Aliens and Humans.

Screw you all, and have a nice day!

I am super pumped for this movie:

So the "How It Should Have Ended" guys just pointed out a MASSIVE character plot hole in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON that I will henceforth never be able to unsee. It doens' truin the movie...but it certainly shows that Whedon needed a plot device and he chose the wrong character for it.

This looks decent. It seems like Werner Herzog is purposely aping David Lean in this film...which is both a good thing, and apt for this specific story.

I'm unsure about Pattinson playing Lawrence though...

To be fair, I don't think that's really the case.

They don't lose their momentum just because they're closer to your own speed, you know.
