Last night I watched Blade Runner 2049. It was even better than the first one! Lots of twists and turns, a lot of action, great everything!

But no Soliloquy In The Rain?

Yeah, def one of the best sequels ever. I went in begrudgingly too ;)

It was there, silently. Not in the rain but in the snow.

I just saw a very funny movie with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, called Bowfinger!
One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.
I can't believe I've missed this for so long, but I'm glad I finally came across it. It was a lot of fun to watch! 🤣

The other day I saw Red, and today I saw the sequel, Red 2. It was even better than the first one, but this time it didn't have Morgan Freeman. Instead it had Anthony Hopkins. A really great cast of characters, lots of action, a plot that rolls along smoothly without ever getting boring, and some very good car chases.
I really wish they could make a third one, but Bruce Willis isn't going to be able to do it.

I just saw The Postman, and found it to be a very good movie. I'd heard about it a long time ago, but never got around to watching it, but I'm glad I finally did. It was better than I expected, even though the critics apparently didn't care much for it. But who cares what the critics think, anyway?

The next one should be titled "Better RED than DEAD."

I meant to see this movie in theaters, but I got around to it recently. Why didn't anyone tell me how good this movie is? Ironic that it takes four attempts to do the Fantastic Four right on the big screen. This movie does what I find to be refreshing in super hero media these days, and has the group as an already well established team. Their origin story is briefly mentioned, but it's not that important to the plot. They have a rogues gallery of villains they have history with, and they already know how to work together as a cohesive unit. The characters are well written, and play off each other naturally. I especially appreciate that Johnny Storm isn't treated as a hot headed idiot. He is a bit impulsive in this movie, but he's also really smart in his own way and comes up with his own solutions. He is an astronaut, after all. They don't let just anyone do that.

As for the plot, it's hard to sell it without saying too much. But Galactus has chosen Earth as his next meal, and the Fantastic Four have to figure out a way to save the planet. Their initial solution is pretty clever, and when that plan fails, they pivot and use what they have in a different way. Galactus is a huge and powerful monster, so I wasn't sure how their powers were going to come into play, if at all. If their powers were useless, then they might as well not have them at all. Well, Galactus isn't someone they can kill, but they can definitely slow him down. They ultimately win through a combination of smarts and desperation, which I think was a good way to handle it. It sells the villain as an overwhelming threat, but also doesn't undersell the heroes as helpless weaklings.

If you like superhero movies, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try.

If strength was a super power Big Ass Saw Thing would be wearing leotards, yes?

Iirc, I said I liked it.  The retrofuture theming was 100% on-brand for the FF.  And even though it was a stretch to get Pedro Pascal to play a protective parent, I think they pulled it off. /sarcasm

Same.  It's important for a character to have nuances and not get flanderized as one thing all the time.  Johnny might not have the same book smarts as Reed, but he's not an idiot and is often very perceptive and clever.

But Galactus has chosen Earth as his next meal

Imho, that's a huge thing, not just because we like the Earth, but because the Celestials already claimed it in Eternals.

It sells the villain as an overwhelming threat, but also doesn't undersell the heroes as helpless weaklings.

I agree.  I loved that part.  And the part in the space ship fleeing from Galactus was so damn terrifying.  It really sold that this isn't a guy you can manipulate or refuse.  In the rare chances you get to talk to each other, you better choose your words carefully.

And that stinger was perfect.  It didn't tell us much, but we can deduce a lot from it.

I saw a good heist movie last night, called, appropriately, Heist, with Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito. Lots of interesting twists and turns, kept me guessing right to the end about where the gold was hidden.
