Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War Official Trailer
oh hellllll yeahhhhhhhh…!!!!!!!
dude, this is looking to be really good.
PS. the ending with Thor and the Guardians? Fuck yeah! :)
i just pulled up youtube and the first thing i see is this…
dude, how fucking awesome?!!
i know it’s just a teaser, but it’s the first one i’ve seen for the new Incredibles and i feel like i’ve literally been waiting for years to see it… coming out summer of 2018 i believe, and i’ll definitely be going to see it — hopefully in an IMAX theater.
#ThumbsUp #OhHellYeah
another one i kinda forgot all about, though to be honest, i think that’s understandable… mostly because i just haven’t been excited or looking forward to this ‘Justice Leauge’ movie at all… and by that, i mean like zero interest.
just out of curiosity, anybody planning on hitting the theater this weekend to go see it?
#curious #shrugs
oh man, just in case you missed this yesterday…
fuck me, can’t wait for Deadpool 2!!!!!!
“…and remember, hugs not drugs.”

Thor: Ragnarok’s 5 Biggest WTF Questions
oh man, i absolutely loved this movie! did you guys go see it this past weekend or what..?!
definitely had a more fun / guardians of the galaxy vibe than the previous two — which is a good thing if you ask me… didn’t like the other Thor movies, which is a shame cuz i loved reading his comics as a kid… both Thor and Hulk were among my personal favs… and wolverine, but who doesn’t like him?!
i mean, c’mon.
i thought i already posted this, but scrolled down real quick and didn’t see it… i probably thought about it and posted it in my head, which happens from time-2-time… hey man, it happens.
just reminded me that i never picked this one up… think i was on the fence about whether to get it on regular bluray or 4k, and ended up never getting around to it…. hmmm, oh well… maybe they’ll have it on sale this coming black friday on amazon or something.
PS. adds mental reminder to self.
it was raining pretty much all day yesterday — not to mention it was also pretty damn cold, and my drive home last night was kinda brutal… lots of rain, along with a few car accidents, and bam! hello 3.5 hour drive back home… geeesh… so i grabbed some food and sat down and ended up watching John Wick 2 again, and g’damn i love that movie.
sooooooo fucking good.
haven’t really read anything about it, but i’m really hoping they come out with another one… keep that john wick killstreak going, dude!
anybody else excited to go see the new Thor movie this weekend?
only downside is it’s not playing at the “nice” theater here, the one with the bar and big comfy VIP seating… so yeah, totally sucks and i dunno what the deal is, since they really should have the latest marvel movie… almost tempted to say “fuck that”, but man i really wanna see it.
damnit.
PS. first world problems, i know… i know….
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther – Official Trailer
whoa… sucks that we have to wait until february 2018 for this to drop in the theaters, but i’ll definitely have to go see this up on the big screen for sure.
this isolated wakanda sure seems pretty sci-fi to me :)
PS. thor… star wars… then black panther…
i stopped by redbox on the way home last night and picked up “baby driver”, since i’ve really wanted to see it after hearing so many raving reviews online and from friends…
…and holy shit, they were right!
what a kickass movie… was almost tempted to watch it again, but was getting kinda late… think i might have to just snag the bluray, and add it to the collection.

The Internet Can’t Stop Joking About The New ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Trailer

PS. looking forward to december, mang.
anybody else going to see the new Blade Runner tonight? …huh huh?!?
there’s only been a few movies i’ve been looking forward to, and this is one of ’em — along with the new Thor and Star Wars movies, of course.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 – “Black Out 2022” Anime Short
i watched this on crunchyroll last night, and wow… the anime style and production on this sort film is fucking awesome… love these little short “films” they’re releasing in the build-up for the new Blade Runner movie… helps fill in some of the gaps in the 30 years between the first and this one, but without spoiling anything which is great.
#GoodStuff #ThumbsUp
oh man, i just can’t seem to get enough of these honest trailers…
Everything You Need to Know About ‘Blade Runner’ Before You Peep the Sequel
When that first Blade Runner 2049 movie teaser hit, I was amped. Because I’m #residentold at Complex, I grew up with Ridley Scott’s original Blade Runner being a revered piece of cinema. Hell, even President Obama fucked with the sci-fi classic. Thing is, as more information and trailers came out about the movie, it didn’t seem like my compatriots cared. Was this film, which found Harrison Ford returning to his now-iconic role of Deckard, replicant hunter, something that people didn’t give a fuck about? Even with Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, Jared Leto, and Dave Bautista being thrust into this world, it just didn’t seem like this movie was connecting like I thought it would, and when I got around a crew of like-minded individuals, it felt like I wasn’t alone: it just didn’t feel like people were giving a shit about a sequel of a 35-year-old niche sci-fi film.
i don’t know about you guys, but i can’t wait to go see the new Blade Runner in the theater this coming weekend… especially after seeing some of the reviews, though to be honest i would’ve gone to see it either way — if you loved the first one, how could you possibly not be curious?!
With its $10-a-month service, MoviePass has totally changed my relationship to movie theaters
It’s been a busy two months for MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe, but he’s relaxed and friendly as we discuss what it’s like to be thrust into the spotlight overnight.
In August, his startup caused a frenzy by dropping the price of its subscription, which lets you see one film a day in theaters, to $9.95 a month.
The public went nuts, MoviePass struggled to keep up with more than 100,000 new subscribers, and the theater giant AMC began squawking in the press, vaguely implying it might take legal action.
The $9.95 price point had captured people’s imagination. But critics questioned whether the MoviePass model, which relies on MoviePass paying theaters the full price for tickets, would collapse under its own weight (even after $27 million in fresh capital).
That critique still hangs in the air. But as someone who signed up on the day of that price drop, and who has been using MoviePass for a few weeks, I can confidently say it has already changed how I think about movie theaters in a fundamental way.
i remember hearing about this a few weeks back, and thinking that there was probably no way it would last more than a month or two… but looks like it’s still around, and i’ll admit to being pretty curious… if you like going to the movies, then it seems almost too good to be true… hell, just going to the movies once or twice a month more than makes up for that $10 a month, y’know? last time i went to the theater i think my ticket was like $14 or something.
so anybody hip on this, or been using it?
#hmmmmmm #curious
You Can Now Watch the Blade Runner 2049 Prequel Anime From the Director of Cowboy Bebop
Shinichirō Watanabe is one of the most iconic anime directors in the business, thanks to his work on the beloved Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. But his latest work is an intriguing sidestep: a 15-minute short film set in the world of Blade Runner.
The third and final prequel movie set between the events of Blade Runner and the upcoming sequel, 2049, Watanabe’s Blade Runner Black Out 2022 covers a period hinted at in the previous two shorts. It’s the year when a gigantic EMP blast knocks out power to the cities across the world, leading to a rise in anti-Replicant sentiment and eventually a complete prohibition of Replicant creation—one lifted in the years before Blade Runner 2049 through the actions of the movie’s new villain, Niander Wallace (Jared Leto).
too bad it’s only a 15-minute short anime film, especially since it’s from the guy behind Cowboy Bebop (one of my favorite anime shows)… but i’ll happily take it… will have to logon to cruchyroll and check it out later tonight.
speaking of the new Blade Runner movie…
wow.
This ‘Kingsman’ Actor Refused To Film An Awkward Sex Scene With Poppy Delevingne
Even if you haven’t yet caught the latest Kingsman instalment, The Golden Circle, you might have heard rumour of an especially awkward sex scene involving Cara’s sister, Poppy Delevingne.
In the scene, leading spy Eggsy (played by Taron Egerton) has an intimate encounter with Clara who he is trying to track. Although the sex is consensual, during the act he places a tracking device inside her vagina without her knowledge.
Somewhat unsurprisingly Egerton was a little weirded out at having to simulate this situation, it turns out so much so he refused to film the scene.
bit of a spoiler there… but damn, can’t say that i really blame him… although… well, nevermind.
#ahem
PS. anybody go see it?
Does That Stupid Anal Sex Joke Really Ruin The First ‘Kingsman’ Movie?
Kingsman: The Secret Service — the 2015 movie that featured Colin Firth and Taron Egerton as mentor and trainee in a secret British spy organization that relied heavily on bespoke suits and over-the-top violence — was a reasonably divisive movie. It was no mother!, but it definitely had its partisans and its detractors. Director Matthew Vaughn had to be used to that, since the last time he created a world where heroes who were very concerned about their clothes engaged in ultra-violence, it was 2010’s also-divisive Kick-Ass. But while the cartoonish violence, overly slick packaging, and the decision to have Samuel L. Jackson play the villain character like a riff on Russell Simmons are the elements most often cited by Kingsman detractors, there is one moment that draws the hottest ire: the stupid, nonsensical, probably-offensive-but-that’s-not-even-the-point scene at the very end where Eggsy (our newly minted hero, played by Egerton) has sex up the bum with the Swedish princess, who had promised said bum to him as his reward for saving the day.
It’s crass. It’s stupid. It makes the hero look like a womanizing dickwad when up until this point he was a rough-around-the-edges decent bloke. And it makes a mockery of any other well-drawn female characters in the rest of the movie, because in the end, women are there for fucking. And in the least comfortable manner possible!
Isolated from the rest of the movie, the scene almost works, because Egerton is just that charming. But coming at the tail end (no pun intended) of a movie that bludgeoned its audience with violence that it tried to pass off as artful but which was honestly just excessive, the cheekiness (again, no pun intended, honestly) of the moment comes across as swaggering rather than subversive. What’s allegedly being subverted in this moment is the James Bondian womanizing that runs through all those British secret-agent type movies. The suave hero taking the virginal princess as his just reward. Making it anal sex is supposed to up the absurdity of the moment enough to make it satire. A commentary on the shit we used to let heroes get away with.
i didn’t think that was all that bad… hell, never really thought about it and until just now to be honest… figures that there are people that would be somehow offended or something… but c’mon man, it’s a movie!
btw, did anybody go see the new one this past weekend?
