Some of them would need walkers, I'm afraid.
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.
Yeah, I don't know how many people want to see Top Gun: Maverick Breaks A Hip.
Well, now I kinda do.
Yeah, I don't know how many people want to see Top Gun: Maverick Breaks A Hip.
I want to see Maverick wearing a porkpie hat driving his plane around in circles on the aircraft carrier runway and complaining about the damn kids trying to get him to move out of the overtaking lane.
Instead of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" they can have him singing "You've Lost All Feeling In Your Lower Extremities."
Rather than coping with the loss of his best friend, he'll have to come to terms with the Navy refusing to make him a pair of trifocal aviator sunglasses.
Fun for the whole family! (My whole family anyway. We bond easily over the shared pleasure of mocking Tom Cruise.)
Cruise himself has actually kept in pretty good shape (must be the constant running), but I don't want to see 2018's Val Kilmer or Rick Rossovich in a game of beach volleyball.
Rick's in pretty good shape, actually. He was living in Europe with his family the last I heard, and has aged quite well.
We are watching the deeply terrible third installment of The Da Vinci Code trilogy, Inferno. This movie pretty much has the exact same plot as Infinity War.
I saw Jurassic World 2 last night in IMAX (non-3D! hooray!!), and it is a really good bad movie. The plot is nonsense. The majority of the actors are walking props. All of the set pieces are homages to other, better movies. ALL of the elements from the first Jurassic Park are in here. (Seriously, someone should make a bingo card. Or a drinking game.)
BUT Chris Pratt is one of the most watchable movie people there is, the new dinosaurs are cool, and the location where 90% of the movie takes place looks like Hogwarts. Don't you want to see Starlord defending Hogwarts from a dinosaur attack? With lasers? The Victorian haunted house vibe works really well, the directing is great, and it's just fun to watch like any good b-movie.
And yes, there is a post-credits scene. (Sam Jackson's character from the first movie is alive after all, and he wants to talk to the velociraptors about the Avengers initiative.)
(Okay, not really. Sorry. But if Ryan North is lurking and wants to write that movie anyway, I will buy an advance ticket TODAY.)
I loved catching all the callbacks to other movies in the first Jurassic World. And I've been looking forward to Chris Pratt's character going "Hey, you remember that bit where I'm a hardass Navy veteran? And I've got a semi-trained apex predator as an ally? No? Let me remind you."
The Spider-Verse trailer is sooo goooood.
