The Cloverfield Paradox...not bad, though it would have been better if they hadn't tied it to the Coverfield storyline. The Rain...stupid, gave up watching it pretty quickly. I saw a trailer for Overlord. Soldiers in a horror story... I thought of mirkwood immediately. mirkwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, looking forward to it. Hoping it isn't as bad as Frankenstein's Army. It wouldn't take much to not be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early reports have gone back and forth as to whether or not Overlord is somehow part of the Cloverfield franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, it's not just the shaky thing when they're in the rocket, which is acceptable because... it's a rocket... but even the regular house shots - like for example, Mr and Mrs Armstrong are talking and the camera is shaking with super close-up shots such that the entire face doesn't even fit in the screen... you get only from the eyes to the chin... and it's shaking. Like I said, like a 6-year-old was taking a home video. I became seasick within the first 10 minutes. It wasn't worth watching the entire thing especially since I'm already very familiar with the life of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins and the Gemini and Apollo missions. It's kinda weird that Aldrin was not what I know Aldrin is and Collins didn't get much attention and we only learn his name because it's on his suit.

I don't get the hate Tom Cruise garners. In the genre of SF-ish action adventure, he pretty much sets the bar. His movie choices tend to be quite strong, and he's a strong actor. For some reason, he's become a popular target for haters. Whatever. I can easily come up with three dozen actors eminently more hateable than Tom Cruise. anatess2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when I get home - I have black ink there in a disposable FP. Maybe by then I'll have figured out what a "de" tractor is. Hmm. Maybe it's the nun's order: Sister Mary Martha de Tractore Sante.)

The new version may be better in some aspects,. This Mary seems to be tart and thus more like the book version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My treat, of course. I'll even spring for popcorn and a drink. I'll put aside the money now so I won't have to worry if I lose my job I was looking at this property in Hobble Creek Canyon in Springville until I realized it says "accessible by snowmobile in the winter"... which made me think it's not accessible any other way! What a funny property that is... only livable half the year. No wonder it was cheap! zil and SilentOne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Venom. Meh. Not worth it. Not really part of the MCU. Doesn't have anything to do with Spiderman. About as intellectually engaging as that Doom movie where they tried to recreate the game's first-person shooting experience.
