Interesting. I contemplated actually going to see this.

But somehow I felt it might not meet my high expectations...

The next movie I will actually go to a Megaplex to actually watch....

WAKANDA FOREVER!!!!

We watched the Gray Man tonight. A John Wick knock off. Almost 2 1/2 hours, was way too long. That's some good dialogue, and a few good fights, but was even less realistic than John Wick. I give it five out of 10.

I thought it was tripe and who in the hell would cast Ryan Gosling as a action hero? He should stick to fluff!

Good for you!

I gather it's a spin off series from the Terminator films.

I guess I'm one of the few. The first two were awesome, I thought the 3rd was lame. Almost no story, just fight scenes.

Watch it on acid or mushrooms, that's the only way to know for sure.

Here's a clip that I like from T2. ''Hasta la vista...baby''

Here's Arnie in a different kind of movie, Rick.

I saw it and liked it.

M5Rick · 07-24-2022, 05:53 PM

Haven't seen that one Esteban.

This. TBH the alien franchise has held up best if you're a bit of a nerd. 3 and resurrection got a bit weird but i liked Promethius and Covenant.

tranquility · 07-24-2022, 09:40 PM

Resurrection w great, felt sorry for the alien she killed...how could she?! Look at those loving eyes! Ripley betrayed it and the look it gave her before dying, like 'how could you?! I'm your kid...'.

She could've trained it to be a good alien. "NO, put that human down! No killing for today!!!"

yeah it was on Fox like 10-ish years ago

I think it only lasted 2 seasons

it ignored Terminator 3 and was a sequel to the 2nd film (in a way)

Summer Glau was a Terminator in the show named Cameron who was teenage John Connor's protector. Lena Headey was Sarah Connor.

I like the Alien franchise as well.

Alfisti · 07-25-2022, 07:56 AM

Promethius and Covenant got a lot of shit but they have helped glue the story together.

billnchristy · 07-25-2022, 10:19 AM

We watched A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night on Saturday. A very good flick, especially considering the budget.

I love Prometheus. Probably Top 10 fav movie for me, I actually like it more than any of the Alien films.

M5Rick · 07-25-2022, 03:56 PM

Just watched this, S.W.A.T.

''You'll be ready for anyone, anything''

Fishee · 07-25-2022, 04:07 PM

Watched this last night, worth a watch, entertaining but no award winner.
Sort of like Drive + Bourne.

Donut Lord · 07-25-2022, 05:51 PM

I started binge watching all of the Star Trek movies.

Started with the Directors Cut of The Motion Picture, now up to Generations. Going to continue it to the Picard-era films, then the Kelvin-era new ones.
