Bob Sacamano Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) I thought wolverine didn't age. Is that explained? I think it was explained in the second solo Wolverine movie. But that doesn't count anymore since that timeline was reset with "X-Men: Days of Future's Past." Even before that movie, it was riddled with inconsistencies galore. MCU 1,000,000 x > X-Men cinematic universe.

Kyyle23 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The story that Logan is loosely based on, "Old Man Logan", explains that Wolverines healing factor has almost completely stopped working, and he has begun aging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I saw Sing Street last night. Kind of reminded me of The Committments, only with kids. Good soundtrack, you wanted to like the kids, an enjoyable flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think the reason for Logan''s aging was Adimantium poisoning but I could be wrong. As far as inconsistencies, the X-Men movies have continuity problems all over the place. I've learned to accept it and just look for a good movie, film to film. I absolutely loved this movie. Probably will see it again. Fox has something going with these Rated R movies. Makes me happy to an extent that they aren't in the MCU because we wouldn't have had Deadpool or Logan. I also can't wait for Deadpool 2 and hopefully X-Force will be Rated R too. If it's the end of Hugh Jackman's run, what a ride even though it's sad to see him go. I remember when the first X-Men movie came out in July of 2000, my friends and I rode our bikes to the mall to see the movie, then went to the arcade next to the theatre. Haha my have times changed. Didn't have an end credit scene if anything one hasn't seen it that plans to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the supporting character with the glasses, the ginger, and the bully that ended up coming good, but I just couldn't take to the main protagonist. Also, the brother's character was a decade too early. Possibly I'm being overly punishing because it's a hometown film. Incidentally, my father and all my uncles went to the real Synge Street where this is set and shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Beauty and the Beast is an exact replica of the 1992 animation with essentially thirty minutes of added scenes, songs and characters. Definitely worth taking the kids too because of the cinematography, but the original cartoon is still my preference...or the 1940's version. Emma Watson, just doesn't quite fit in that role...enjoyed seeing Kevin Kline, and the whole Luke Evans/Josh Gad subplot though. Here in China, they cut the most controversial scene between them for it apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Get Out was good and worth seeing, but I think it's a bit overrated. Not some amazing film that is a "run to the theater ASAP" type film for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the social satire/commentary part got a lot of the credit, but it's not like that movie is decidedly much better than The Purge series, for example.

caulfield12 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yeah, Sing Street was really good. Of course, the main character's a bit annoying, but the supporting characters like his brother and g/f make up for that. For someone who grew up really enjoying New Order/Joy Division and the music that came out of the UK in the 1980's, it's always fun to watch retro-feeling movies like that.

I think people assume that SciFi has to be action-packed, but some of the best ones aren't (in my view anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Huge Power Rangers fan. I collect the toys even today. Just got out of the movie and I was so pleased that it was an actually competent movie. All the Rangers were great, Bill Hader was my favorite character in it. I think that its really cool that the Rangers are so diverse. They're all different races, sexualities and one of them is on the spectrum. They can only defeat the bad guy by learning empathy and embracing their differences. Trump would love it. I felt they could've done more with Elizabeth Banks, the potential was there.

I didn't hear about anything in Detroit but... Emma Watson said this after Beyonce dropped the video for Flawless: 'As I was watching [the videos] I felt very conflicted, I felt her message felt very conflicted in the sense that on the one hand she is putting herself in a category of a feminist, but then the camera, it felt very male, such a male voyeuristic experience of her... Beyoncé using her sexuality as empowerment isn't feminism!' She basically said Beyonce's feminism is for male consumption and now Emma Watson is doing half naked photo shoots. She also said feminism isn't a stick that should be used to beat other women, just after using feminism to beat down a woman of color. She's a huge hypocrite and feminism to her is only done correctly when it's done by white women. I put her alongside Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift, which is somewhere in the trash. After she said that, I haven't been able to watch her in anything as I've been having a hard time separating the art from the artist.
