Exactly. I don't see how you're acting bewildered, Chuck, do you not remember the thread about Jay's neighbor?
[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

I either forgot it or thankfully missed it, but anyways I got my answer
Did you report his post?
I can dislike or even hate what a person does without automatically impleading that person into the dislike/hate. For instance, my father smoked for 40+ years until he had a heart scare (and then quit cold turkey the next day, making my stepmother soooo jealous). He had a "disgusting habit," but it did not at all diminish my genuine love for the man.

And, incidentally, I take, what should be unsurprisingly, a pretty libertarian standpoint vis a vis my admin stuff. I'm not the hissyfit police. I'm more of a "try to fix the broke thing" type guy.
But speaking as a not-red-name, I have a pretty hard time taking seriously complaints about a direct quotation from the movie. Getting one's SJW panties in a twist over that was just asking to get needled. Honestly, if Jay hadn't done it, and I WASN'T an admin, I might have done it myself, just to watch the butthurt meltdown.

Movies are fun.
I've been REALLY bored this evening and you know what I did? Went through each page of this thread from the beginning. Skimming it. It made me miss some members that aren't around much anymore like Gilgamesh and Shego.
Also, I never realized how many times I kept bringing up Cars 2 and how I didn't mind it.

I just realized, the last several posts must have looked really strange for you.
Some transatlantic flying so finally managed to catch up on some movies.
Kingsman: neat. More please!
Big Hero 6: worth the watch, pretty nice.
Ocean's 11: hadn't gotten around to seeing it, obviously formulaic (by now) but well done.
Paddington: funny and heartwarming.
Cowboys vs Aliens: I expected Wild Wild West like over the top humor. This movie takes the premise entirely serious? What? Olivia Wilde's still hot but can't act and Daniel Craig is still one of my favorite actors. Oh well.
This is Where I Leave You: utterly forgettable. Not bad in its genre, but oh so bland. Some funny moments, mind you.

I've actually heard a lot of recent praise for that movie with the horrible reveal trailer for Jem and the Holograms. It makes me wonder if I should go back and watch it again. Maybe there was some sort of irony or commentary layer I completely missed because I remember hating it when it came out.
There's nothing subtle about the movie, but it never takes itself too seriously which I think works in its favor. I find it fun, and would recommend giving it another shot if you only saw it when it came out, that was almost 15 years ago.
... yeah, I guess I can agree with this. Josie and the Pussycats is a lot like the Scooby Doo movie, in that it knew actually who it's audience was (kids and nostalgic adults in their 30's-40's) and played to that audience by simply being as fun and funny as possible. And you know what? There's a reason that Matthew Lillard does the voice of Shaggy now and it's because that movie showed that he gets it.
Sometimes, when I work from home, I run horror movies in the background because my lovely wife does not watch them, and they usually don't require my full attention. I figured I heard good things about The Babadook, so it might be amusing.
For someone with a young son with anxiety disorder, it was not amusing. Well acted? Interesting? Creepy? Yes. But not amusing.

Damn good film, studio Ghibli does it again.

The Babadook is one of the most terrifying British horror movies I have ever seen and it does it on a shoestring budget. I am completely impressed with it.
I enjoyed it as an interesting movie about grief. I did not at all find it scary.
Scared me out of having kids.
Eraserhead did that for me.
You know, I would have said the same thing, but I forgot about that scene.
...until this moment.
Oh, I also watched VHS having heard some good things about it. That was accurate. There were some good things about it. In the end, however, instead of trying VHS 2 or whatever they called the one after that, I decided that a better horror anthology would be continuing to watch Supernatural.
I guess what I'm saying is that it was no Trick R Treat.

Hah, for a minute I thought you'd said VHF and was at first a little miffed, then a little confused, then totally lost. Then I realized.
The wrap-around story for VHS was dumb as hell. As for the actual stories, I thought the first one was different and interesting for the creature of choice, and the last one I liked because while most of the characters in the rest were assholes of varying degrees, those guys could've gotten away without problem, but stopped and decided they needed to help.
VHS 2 ... well, it has a better budget! The cult story was the only one I found really of any interest. One story has aliens, so that's at least different than the others. Overall, you're not missing anything.
Yeah, the VHS films aren't great, but at least there are a few good stories. I'll give my props to the alien story in VHS 2, though, because that one (at least to me) managed to actually make the classic Greys creepy.
From what I've heard, though, the third is apparently atrocious, so I'm staying away from that one.

Same. I think the series is spent.
Project Almanac was surprisingly good. I'm always a bit skeptical of time travel flicks but this was a fun ride.
