I am generally OK reading fanfic before I see the source material if I like the author, and sometimes (Sports Night) I end up liking the source material and others less so.
Of course now you have made me curious, so maybe I WILL watch Kingsman.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I really, really don't recommend it, unless you have no problem with unpleasant violence.

I hate violence, so that is a no.

Hey. New board.
I did mean winter soldier. Yes. Too many subtitles!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We've watched Kingsman and Lucy in the past week, and both of them were just... so bad. I was less actively annoyed after Kingsman, but ptui on both.
(The violence in Kingsman didn't bother me, surprisingly. Probably because it was so completely over the top. Lucy did bother me, though.)

Lucy is best watched while intoxicated and with the mindset that Luc Besson got really fucking high and tried to make a nature documentary based on shit he pulled out of his ass while musing about the Nature of Humanity.
My only regret watching it is that we didn't ingest the stuff earlier in the evening.
Though that made our rewatch of the Losers EPIC.

I kind of enjoyed Lucy, but I had to shut my brain off to do so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate the whole "we only use 10% of our brains" nonsense and I know Lucy uses this to explain her powers. How often do they talk about this crap? Because I could tolerate some mentions....

Often. It's Morgan Freeman's entire area of research and Lucy's brain access percentage is used as interstitial title cards.
I have to give Luc Besson some credit though - his movies are always interesting in some way. Both Fifth Element and Lucy wonder about humanity's next step, but I think Lucy is much more grim. And Lucy herself is very much the anti-Leeloo.

This is why I never watched it.
