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.

We watched it while high and P decided it was what happened when the director dropped acid and decided to make a nature documentary where he just made stuff up and intercut it with action scenes.

That sounds about right.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

By coincidence, I'm currently watching Captain America: Civil War with Ryan. We've just reached the airport fight.

Hec, I understand the importance of that, but I wish it wasn't based on such a hot mess of a movie. I kept laughing at the dramatic parts.
