Star Wars/Up mash up.

Zero Dark 30 Water Color

If Disney did Game Of Thrones

 

[chillbroswaggin]

Believe it or not, all these celebs are the same age

Excuse me?

Paul Rudd doesn't age and the girl from Modern Family still looks 17

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Don't think for a minute actors don't get work done on their faces & use products like botox...

 

[pabstblueribbon]

Some people just don't age, on that Lazarus pit Steeze.

Look at juwan Howard and Chris webber

 

[Case]

He's Canadian.

He loves beer.

Wolverine walking in to bars for a drink and eventually getting in to a fight is a thing.

Sorry, but it's just a lame thing they seem to do with him in these movies..Even in his First Class cameo he was in yet another bar..Maybe for once have the guy try to hide in a big city so nobody will find him..Or how about a tropical island?..lol

Do guilty pleasures have to be bad movies? It seems like often they are, but I was just going to mention how Enchanted with Amy Adams is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies, but then I thought "Why am I guilty about this?" Amy Adams is absurdly charming and adorable in it, it's funny, it's got great homages and parodies of classic Disney movies, and it's a really good movie, so what's to be "guilty" about?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ Your right, nothing the feel guilty about. I guess it's labeled as such because stuff considered under this label is not considered cool and/or avant-garde. I don't mind seeing a good rom-com with the wifey.

I don't think so at all. A guilty pleasure IMO generally is something bad that I actually do like.

Twilight is my guilty pleasure for example.

Black swan here, for some reason I love that movie

Black Swan was that movie! My girl and I immediately had sex right after.

Those are awesome. I don't know the McAvoy/Keira pic tho.

And Mel looks damn weird to me now. That dude fell off so bad. I watch Lethal Weapons all the time and remember as he was, but today he's just nothing.

I wish he expanded on it further, but one of my favorite Grantland writers, Wesley Morris, On G.I. Joe: Retaliation  and military blockbusters in the Obama era.

He makes the interesting point that

But these movies (along with Roland Emmerich's upcoming and delicious-looking work of disaster White House Down  — with Jamie Foxx and, yes, Channing Tatum) do tap into this skepticism about homeland security and foreign policy in the Obama era. These movies aren't about actual terrorism so much as they are fantasies about the consequences of a perceived lack of muscle in his leadership. It doesn't matter that, more or less, he's "the ************ who caught bin Laden" if he can't defend his home.

In all three films, servicemen come to POTUS's rescue. There's no "get off my plane" moment for him. The White House assault movie has an extremist-libertarian appeal, too. If government is too big and too Big Brother–y for you, blowing some of it to smithereens is one way to shrink it. It's true that a lack of feasible politics make Olympus Has Fallenand G.I. Joe: Retaliation  laughable. But in making the president a distressed damsel, they suggest a fear that the White House is there for the enemy's taking, even if that enemy started life as a Hasbro toy.

Which I never noticed before.

 

[mronegative]

Ehhh...they blew up the White House in Independence Day, attacked it in X2, took over in Mars Attacks...hell every other season of 24 has it being taken over. I think that's reaching. Harrison Ford was the exception.


And uh...yeah this is near the top of my must watch this year list:

Plot for Wes Anderon's next movie

The Grand Budapest Hotel  tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé.

A powerhouse cast features Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Harvey Keitel, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Saoirse Ronan, Tom Wilkinson, Mathieu Amalric, F Murray Abraham, Bob Balaban and Tony Revolori

And uh...yeah this is near the top of my must watch this year list:

What's this? Isn't this the movie that follows the same story from movies made a long time ago?

I'm re watching 24 season 1 because of this thread and I swear it's hard to take David Palmer serious because every time they cut to him all I can think of is Allstate commercials.

 

[big j 33]

Yes, it's the sequel to Before Surnrise and Before Sunset

 

[mronegative]

Yeah, Allstate kinda took the bite outta my man. O'Reilly from Oz too.


So uh...FX will officially be better than AMC this fall.

They're giving Charlie Kaufman a TV show.

A half hour comedy called How and Why about "a man who can describe the ins and outs of a nuclear reactor but is clueless about life." So Sheldon from BBT?

I'm there as close to opening day as possible.

And uh...yeah this is near the top of my must watch this year list:

Seeing it on Saturday as part of my Tribeca Film Festival coverage, can't wait!!!!

Loved the first one so much, 2nd one was good but not as good as the first, heard this one was excellent at Sundance

Christopher Nolan wants Matthew McConaughey to be his leading man in upcoming sci-fi thriller Interstellar - http://wp.me/p2CCWq-2NA

 

[big j 33]

Alright, alright, alright..

 

[crazy ebw]

Dunno how I would feel about Matthew as the lead in a Nolan flick.

Now watching: The Lookout. y'all seen this?

 

[lawdog1]

I was watching the original 1980s Superman with Christopher Reeve last night on cable. Certain things about it probably can be considered corny/cheesy by today's standards, but overall its really a pretty good movie. Gene Hackman is great as Lex Luthor. And Reeve, who I don't consider to have been a great actor, does a very solid job as Superman/Clark Kent.
