Do you think the Western deserves to come back? I mean, I suspect the reason it fell out of popularity was partly due to shifts in cultural ideals and audience expectations that the Western just couldn't adapt to. In a world of weak ass cuckold men and feminists, they would be considered too "toxic" maleness. Even though there was a Sharon Stone flick, The Quick and the Dead, about a female gunfighter that was rather good. I would be all for more women playing a major role in a Western. I have a couple short stories about a female gunfighter, a Shane type of character. Nah, I disagree. First of all, there's nothing wrong with being feminist (provided you're not falling into the radical feminist department), and I think it is possible to have a good old fashioned western with a strong female character, (which as a bit of a feminist myself, I would say is more important than having the female be the main character.)

Saw I Am Mother on Netflix friday night. Liked it a lot. A.I. can be truly terrifying if written well.
Thoughts?

9.5/10 Brilliant flick, the ending was a bit cliche. Overall the actions scenes were great & the dialogue very Tarantino-esque

Came back from seeing X-Men Dark Phoenix. Give it an 8.5/10. Obviously these so called critics are talking out of their asses as usual. I for one never put too much in the opinion of critics. The thing I didn't like, is its like they tried to jam pack a lot of stuff under two hours. This is something that should have been well over two hours which could have been contributed to better character development. One glaring issue is this takes place after Apocalypse, and in my opinion Jean obviously had Phoenix Force powers to destroy Apocalypse. It took more than telekinetic powers to destroy Apocalypse on the molecular level. Agreed, to a point. Just leaving the cinema No question the last film in this franchise was dogshit, almost on the level of The Last Jedi (X-men: Apocalypse) However, anyone who is a TRUE nerd of the early 90s X-men books can see how faithful most of this plot is. Of course, there was some pretty amateurish stuff The scene when Mystique was impaled, the scene when Hank is LITERALLY staring at a half-full glass of water, the fact that Erik survives about 5 life-threatening injuries, etc
My point is; I liked this flick. It was not great, I didn't LOVE it... but I liked it. I enjoyed the acting for the most part. (I wanted to applaud when Jen Lawrence's character died, she is the worst piece of shit actress in 25 years) It was an entertaining flick and IMHO very much improved on the original take on the Phoenix saga, which I liked somewhat. I think it's getting some negative reviews simply because of people being childish & comparing it to Avengers 4 which is beyond idiotic, but makes sense if you can understand how the average dumb-fuck thinks

"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) gets too much abuse, in my opinion. I personally love the movie. Action would not mix with this particular plot so well. I sometimes call it the "2001" of Star Trek movies, in a positive way. The plot is more heavy Sci-Fi, than action. It also has a score that could very possibly be composer Jerry Goldsmith's magnum opus. It unfortunately hit theaters "after" its time, rather than before. It was released two years after a little film called Star Wars. I do love the next three films made after TMP a lot more, but I still enjoy it nonetheless.

A learning experience for studios, do not let a rookie direct a big budget movie in a beloved series. Yes the movie had its flaws as you pointed out some, typical rookie director mistakes. Forced Raven vs Charles not getting along. Could have done better with the "father" figure of Charles with Jean. And when it comes to movies being made from books, video games or what not, I am one who prefers they stick with the source material. But this is one of those times where I liked this variation of the Dark Phoenix saga being told. I liked Sophie playing Jean, even better than Famke. Sorry Famke, still love you. Her attempts of playing someone losing her mind was good, not great, but you do what you have to do with the material you're given.
And this is a dark movie, which could have been much darker if Jean had killed more people than just one. I am glad this movie lacks the usual idiotic humor that pops up in super hero movies, that would have ruined the dark tone. One thing that is lacking is lots and lots of epic fighting. As much as I would like to have seen Jean use more of her god abilities, I'm ok with the direction of showing us a movie that is more, can't think of the word, humanizing, character driven, not action driven.
And I miss Rebecca Romijn's evil Mystique. A good Mystique would have been ok in this latest series but Jen's wooden expression, why am I doing this movie Mystique just didn't sit well. Really, why did you sign the contract when you know it will involve hours of makeup being applied and then acting hours in said makeup.
I would love to see a directors cut. I have a feeling there was a lot of content cut out of the film. Batman v Superman became a better movie with the directors cut. I hate meddling studios, let the director tell the bloody story.

Not that anybody cares about Batman vs Superman anymore, but I still feel this personally would have been a cool idea:
When I tried getting into Batman comics, I started with the first volume of Rebirth. That first story arc vividly reminded me of a Batman vs Superman scenario that would have worked so much better in all honesty. Basically, in that arc, Batman ends up meeting two metahuman superheroes named Gotham and Gotham Girl (yes, those are the actual names) who want Batman to train them into becoming better heroes. Batman agrees to do so, but some time later, a twisted villain scheme causes Gotham to go on a super-powered rampage, resulting in Batman and the rest of the Justice League coming together to stop him and eventually results in Gotham's death.
So how about this for a movie: What if after Man of Steel, Clark Kent feels that because the world hasn't accepted him fully, he needs to find a way to be a better hero, and once he hears that the Batman is back in action, he heads to Gotham with a request for some mentoring. Batman in this movie could still be suspicious of Superman's motives or reasons for being on Earth, especially since he caused so much destruction in Metropolis, but he decides to agree to the mentoring as a way to keep a close eye on him. Then later, maybe Lex Luthor ends up doing something that results in Superman eventually going crazy or doing something that seems villainous, forcing Batman to take measures in his own hands and fight him, at least up until Lex Luthor's plan or monster or whatever gets unleashed and the two agree to put aside their differences for the good of the city.
This would be a much better idea than we got. We not only can have a good motivation behind the eventual fight, but we also get both characters undergoing personal arcs that change them and allow audiences to empathize with them.

Just saw this, pretty good but a bit too similar in style to Hereditary IMHO. The pacing was incredibly drawn out & slow, which makes sense as this isn't quite a horror flick... Also the acting was a bit too "drama-school" for me. A thriller kind of requires that you can relate/empathize with the main characters, which I struggled to do 6.5/10

First off, this isn't James Bond, but another 007 agent. 007 is a code number for the spies licensed to kill. Secondly, I personally wouldn't mind a female 007 agent, but I agree that James Bond is meant to be a male character. This isn't like the Doctor where his/her biology allows a different body and even a different gender during a transformation.

Guess they've tried to have enough "badass female spy movies" but they didn't have the desired results. Hey at least they leave things like the Little Mermaid untouched.. Oh wait. I just do not understand why can't these people make their own franchises instead of pushing their agenda into existing ones.

I doubt it has much to do with an agenda, because honestly I get sick of people who claim that this is due to an agenda. A simpler answer could be that the filmmakers think this is a good person to play the character. With the Little Mermaid thing, I agree that the casting of a black actress for the character of Ariel is strange, but I'm not against the idea.

Secondly, I personally wouldn't mind a female 007 agent, but I agree that James Bond is meant to be a male character. This isn't like the Doctor where his/her biology allows a different body and even a different gender during a transformation. 00 is the designation of agents licensed to kill, 007 is the specific code number assigned to James Bond. Should Bond retire or be (declared) KIA, then it's not unexpected that someone else with 00 status would be assigned the now-free 007 code number. The few plot details we know so far have Bond as having left active service after the events of Spectre. That makes it perfectly feasible that he wouldn't carry the 007 designation anymore, explaining how Lynch's character could potentially (already have) come to possess it. That doesn't really matter, it's still stupid. Guess they've tried to have enough "badass female spy movies" but they didn't have the desired results. Hey at least they leave things like the Little Mermaid untouched.. Oh wait. I just do not understand why can't these people make their own franchises instead of pushing their agenda into existing ones. Since we're probably not going to stay in this continuity anyway after this, what does it really matter if someone else is 007? Craig has been very vocal about wanting to leave the role for years and by his own admission, only agreed to do the previous two movies because they offered him a ridiculous amount of money in exchange. If Craig leaves after this film, then the next James Bond will likely be 007 again because we're rebooting everything.

Wouldn't be surprised if it is the last Bond movie in quite awhile. I just hope they come back around after this one and have Bond movies in a way they've been so far. I've quite enjoyed them for the most part. With seemingly every second franchise switching their leads gender, race and sexual orientation just for the extra views and PR points, it'd be nice to have something that sticks to their roots.

Because it is white men who are responsible for these changes. White men own and manage the whole 007 thing. I would have gotten Naomi Harris back to reprise her role as Penny and had her replace Bond or better yet, she gets her own 00 number! She's a much better known and liked actor over this relatively unknown woman Lynch. Or have Idris Elba as a 00 agent back from some deep cover mission and he and Bond team up for a big mission and they have a bromance and afterwards Bond retires and Elba is the new main character. Or some other well known English actor/actress.

Because it is white men who are responsible for these changes. White men own and manage the whole 007 thing. There is only one single factor that is the motivation to do this: Woman of color. None other. Yes, that is highly both racist and misandrist, in my book. Because that is why! Literally the only why. Whether it's "White men" doesn't matter for this type of culture vandalism, that of late threaten to destroy most culture franchises around us. Why do you even point out that it's "white men"? Is that important to you? Activists control this, not the owners or managers. Activists in media, activists in HR, activists in the arts, activists in marketing. You're not supposed to be able to protest these things. If you do, you're branded racist and misogynist. And if the character is supposed to be lesbian, then you're a homophobe as well. But here's the real deal: If you remove James Bond, it's no longer a Bond movie. It's something completely different, although it might still be a spy-action flick. Nothing stops anyone from doing those kind of things. Then they have to do the groundwork, create characters that people care about. Many have done that before. But the activists can't do that. And they don't understand why not. So they figure they can steal the success of an already established franchise by replacing the central character/characters.

Is it strange that while reading this, I'm imagining someone like Alex Jones saying this? In all seriousness, I laugh whenever somebody suggests there is a big conspiracy of activists "ruining culture" because it frankly sounds incredibly stupid and is incredibly childish a claim. First off, what EVIDENCE do you have to support this claim? There's a pretty good chance it's either non-existent, or you completely misinterpreted it. Second: Does it matter? Seriously, think about it and then answer me this question: Does. It. Matter?

Top Gun 2 looks interesting. Shiet, I kinda want to go and re watch the original again, I really liked it. I don't know what made the first one so good outside the high adrenaline stuff, but I think if they just do that for the second one I'm gonna like it too.
Oh, and btw, Tom Cruise is fucked, but not as fucked as I thought he was lol (age wise). Also they had that old man from Westworld that I think is really good as an actor.

Who's being racist and misandrist? White men? Because it is white men who are responsible for these changes. White men own and manage the whole 007 thing. There is only one single factor that is the motivation to do this: Woman of color. None other. Yes, that is highly both racist and misandrist, in my book. Because that is why! Literally the only why. Whether it's "White men" doesn't matter for this type of culture vandalism, that of late threaten to destroy most culture franchises around us. Why do you even point out that it's "white men"? Is that important to you? Activists control this, not the owners or managers. Activists in media, activists in HR, activists in the arts, activists in marketing. You're not supposed to be able to protest these things. If you do, you're branded racist and misogynist. And if the character is supposed to be lesbian, then you're a homophobe as well. But here's the real deal: If you remove James Bond, it's no longer a Bond movie. It's something completely different, although it might still be a spy-action flick. Nothing stops anyone from doing those kind of things. Then they have to do the groundwork, create characters that people care about. Many have done that before. But the activists can't do that. And they don't understand why not. So they figure they can steal the success of an already established franchise by replacing the central character/characters. You bugging man. Ain't nobody marching to get Bond replaced by a black woman lol

Just saw this the other night. It's getting good reviews because it's decent, but cheesy & also because DC hasn't made a good movie for over a decade. Average at best 5.5/10
