[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

The concept of the Purge is so ridiculous that I get mad every time I remember that the movie wants it to be taken seriously.
 
I actually kinda watched Sharknado 2: The Next One...uhmmm.... ahhh... What the hell did I just watch? The first one was so bad it was funny, this one... not so much.
 
Ahh... True Lies. It's almost as bad as Revenge of the Nerds. Secret Agent uses his CIA powers to spy on his wife, find out she's cheating, then uses said powers to make her think her life is in danger unless she seduces another man (really her husband)... and the guy doing all of this is supposed to be the hero. So that's almost rape by coercion, stalking (or at least illegal surveillance), kidnapping... oh and he almost gets her killed by doing all of this.

But it's a family action/comedy!

As opposed to Revenge of the Nerds where there's just a straight up rape.

So, still not quite as bad.

Like I said, almost as bad. If things had gone as planned, it would have literally been the Revenge of the Nerds scenario, with Arnold sleeping with his wife while she thought he was another man.

Fortunately she clocked him in the head with a telephone instead, invoking the "sexual harrasment is acceptable if it is immediately punished by overwhelming violence" trope.
 
Just pre-ordered my ticket for Guardians of the Galaxy. I usually don't do opening night due to crowds, but I want to see this so bad.

Rated R
 
Great movie, Chris Pratt was awesome. Everyone in the movie did such a wonderful job, the casting director deserves a bonus. Even the most one dimensional roles had some nuance to them it was great.

I've never enjoyed Batista more.
 
To people who have seen Guardians of the Galaxy. Is it a Marvel universe movie? Because I know its made by them but it doesn't seem like it should really tie in with that.
