      I wish Sam Kinison was still alive so he could talk to some of your about your "hurt feelings."

        For the record, if we're going to do this, then I'm going to take it seriously. Like, "George reviewing a concert" seriously. Consider yourself triggered.

        Please love yourself.

          @aqua-letifer I just thought that it might be interesting to read what people thought about movies they've watched (other than, of course, Ax's lame YouTube shit).

          Inspired by Horace's comments about "Black Sea."

            Well, as I've said many times before, I take my stupid shit very seriously. I can't help it, I just absolutely love the shit out of movies.

            For example, I thought this was pretty freaking great. I've always loved Akira, but I never realized it was this good. I love it when people who know what they're doing just go full-on balls out, just because they can and they do it for its own sake. It's not like anyone would ever know these were actually the lengths they went to to make this.

                Fun fact, from about 2003 until maybe 2008 I ran a movie review website. I went to a bunch of movie screenings, and really enjoyed it. Probably had about 500 reviews up before I decided to nix the whole project. Why? I found myself watching movies with the annoying distraction of trying to remember what I would write in the review about it after the movie.

                Hey, I just realized...back when I changed the name from The College Critic to Cinemafox, you all...yes, TNCR, helped me pick the name and logo!

                Also a fun fact, Aqua also wrote reviews for it.

                  You know what's fun? Think of all the crazy shit you had to do to post a review due to internet technology at the time and compare it to today. I remember that it was a bit of a process, even back then. (You could probably just build those buttons with CSS now.)

                    @aqua-letifer No kidding! I just did a wayback machine look at it and remembered how... manual/HTML it was. Jeez... I even used Adobe Flash for the navigation.

                        I've been enjoying Tom Hardy movies lately. He seems like an acting talent nearly at the level of Daniel Day Lewis, with his range and voice/mannerism changes. I watched The Drop last night and The Revenant the night before. Both very good movies IMO, and a nice contrast showing extremes of what he can do.

                        You will take my mask when you pry it off my cold, dead face.

                          He's good in the movie Legend, about the Kray twins. I watched the whole thing and didn't twig that he played both of them, mostly because I'm a complete imbecile.

                            I started that one, but I think it was too British and it didn't grab me in time. I've been meaning to get back to it, I expect it would grab me by, at the latest, halfway through.

                              "Better clear your schedule, because Netflix just added another must-watch flick to its top-rated section.

                              "Introducing The Next Three Days, which stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. Although it originally premiered back in 2010, the film has now landed a highly coveted spot on Netflix’s list of most-watched movies. (It’s currently ranked behind Homefront, White Tiger, Cut Throat City, The Vanished and Outside the Wire.)

                              "The Next Three Days tells the story of the Brennan family, whose lives are turned upside down when Lara (Banks) is convicted of murder. After three years of claiming innocence, her husband, John (Crowe), decides to take matters into his own hands in an attempt to provide a better future for their son. When all else fails, John is left with only one option: get Lara out of prison, no matter the cost.

                              "In addition to Crowe and Banks, the movie also stars" . . . follows a zillion names. This review ends with:

                              "You had us at Russell Crowe."

                              Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                                Did you see "Locke"? That's a spectacular solo performance by Hardy.

                                      I watched Deadpool 2 last night. Nominally a superhero movie but as a comedy it's as funny as anything I've watched in a long time. Deadpool 1 was also good if I recall. There's a 3, too, which I haven't watched yet.

                                        I just watched a company movie all about inclusion and diversity.

                                        The women in it were really hot.

                                        I think I may have been stuck at home for too long.

                                            That was a great movie. More of a short story. Not much cinematic about it. But it was well told by Hardy.
