Muppets: Most Wanted 8/10

What you’d expect from the second muppets movie, everyone is dumb and it makes me laugh the whole way through. Many of the cameos are poorly done editing/effects-wise but that doesn’t take away from the humour. If you’re a fan of the classic Muppets you should check it out!

On another note, the muppets TV show finished it’s first season and it’s HILARIOUS!! Check that out over any of the movies!!

Cute kid, it pretty much mirrors what my young nieces and nephews think. I want to shake them and yell “But can’t you see the prequels are all total shit!”

Don’t worry, they’ll figure it out on their own. I sure did and so did my siblings.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 9.5/10

Amazing, simply amazing film making went into this. Beautiful cinematography, extremely original score, perfect acting from everyone, and a strikingly accurate depiction of grief as well as asperger’s syndrome. My only complaint is that it has very little rewatch value. Check it out!

^Nice star wars pic

Out of context I’d think you’re being sarcastic but Looper is actually awesome.

On the topic of sabers, I’ve got a replica Anakin saber that I got from Comic-Con. It’s alright, but I really wish they figured out a way to emulate the glowing white core rather than being a solid color.

Yeah they still haven’t figured that out yet. However, in certain conditions (lighting, exposure, etc.) it can look pretty accurate on camera. Try it out!

Oh ok, no problem. I just didn’t understand what you meant there. Nice catch, I wonder why that’s in there in the first place.

Ghostbusters (2016)

My biggest fear, based on the trailers, was that there would be a ton of gross-out humor. Luckily it was all in the trailers. The humor was mostly spot-on, the cast was solid, the cameos were fun, the sfx was fine, and Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth stole the show.

My wife agreed with all of the above, but also said it was great to see women talking like actual women, not wearing sexy outfits, not going undercover as strippers, not being catty, and not being ditzy.

I think when they’re a little older, my daughters will LOVE this.

8/10

I’m pretty surprised it’s getting all of these good reviews. The first trailer looked awful and the second trailer spoiled all of the potential twists and turns story-wise. I’ll check it out once it’s on Blu-Ray.

If that is Bail Organa, that would be awesome! It may be good fan-editing material as well. I’d like to make an epilogue of sorts in my own edit so it would be cool to show future footage of Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and of course Darth Vader.

Contagion 8/10

This movie made me feel sick. The editing was great, the score was suspenseful, the acting was impressive, and the atmosphere was perfect, well done Steven Soderbergh! My only issue is that I wish it focused more on Matt Damon’s character rather than jumping around constantly. Check it out if you’re in that sort of mood.

wasn’t the trailer supposed to be released at 8PM Eastern Time tonight? I’m not able to find anything.

There was nothing justified about the Crusades. It was just that the Roman church wanted the money that came from the pilgrim business.

Actually they were defending their territory which was being invaded at the time. Yes they were violent but they were no terrorist group or anything.

Tudyk in mo-cap suit running around on the beach location. He even has the droid head on a stick for proper eye-contact and as a reference point for the CG artists.

Wow you’ve got a good eye! Seems like the movie is being done right! The CGI is so minimal but when it is there it seems to be done the best way possible. If the story/script sucks, at least we’ll have some great scenery to look at for two hours!

Wow, that’s the best you’ve got? Very disappointing. You must be struggling with your brain function today.

My my, how the tables have turned LOL

I was amazed to see just how many practical effects that was in it. I’m also glad to see that they borrowed the method used by Nolan in Interstellar to project images outside the spaceship windows rather than to just film everything with a green-screen background.

Yep, this makes me SO excited for the film. JJ Abrams bragged about his use of practical effects in episode 7 but he didn’t nearly go this far! I’m hoping to see some models an practical ships rather than CGI ones now.

Lots of awesome imagery in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUb_zpdyDpU

“Daft Serious”? Holy shit, is it too late to change my username?

Those Episode I figure names are fake, IRL it’s just a red box.

Yeah it’s where their “commtech chips” are held

Question though: does it look like Qui Gon’s Saber-hilt has been hit at the bottom at 00:17? Guess I never noticed that before now. Apologies if it’s been addressed before.

Sorry I’m not sure what you mean. Could you clarify the question?

As requested, here’s a clip that I like but need some feedback on. As a kid I remembered the scene as more of an important character moment where Qui-Gon is seen meditating and doing the right thing whereas Obi-Wan grows impatient. I rescored the scene to make it more intriguing. Let me know what you think!

He should’ve just looked like that in the actual movie and had a way better voice actor.

Isn’t that supposed to be grievous pre-cyborg?

Z for Zacharia 7/10

Muppets: Most Wanted 8/10

Inglourious Basterds 8.5/10

Hey look it’s not a CGI mess like in civil war! I’m sure they’ll touch it up in post-production but as long as it doesn’t stick out that bad.
