I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
not really sure how people view it (or even how i’d view it now nearly 30 years on) but i liked that weird Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie when it came out. haven’t seen it since it was in theatres though so not sure what i’d think of it now; i just thought it was neat at the time (and age of 10)
Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.
Dirty Grandpa.
It’s much funnier than it has a right to be. Also, Aubrey Plaza really, really wanted to fuck Robert De Niro, and fought to get the role for that reason. Its ending sex scene is one of the most genuine in Hollywood because of that. Of course, Aubrey Plaza makes things better just by showing up.
Critics who hate it need to lighten up.

Breakfast of Champions - I don’t care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.
Mystery Men - Again, I don’t care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.
Titan AE
The female version of Ghostbusters.
Zardoz.
Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.
Does Borat the original count?
Not the worst rating at around a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and around a 6.5 on IMBD, but I absolutely without question love An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
Definitely a fun “sequel” with a lighter tone than the original. Though I will definitely say the Native American mice scenes are definitely outdated and a product of their time if you ask me.
Tron: Legacy
Also Ready Player One. I like the movie where the person go into the computer :)
That’s one where I really think they missed the mark compared to the book. I thought the book was really well done, and had a great premise. Idk the movie just left a sour taste in my mouth. I highly recommend reading/listening to the book
I saw somewhere on reddit recently calling the book worse than the movie. I liked the book only because I got to envision my version of all the nostalgic iconography. I’m not sure why reddit was hating.
Reddit is full of idiots who don’t have opinions and just jump on the bandwagon
I’m glad that you enjoyed it, but listening to the audiobook was one of the most aggravating reading experiences I’ve had. There were cool bits, but every chapter or two my eyes would glaze over for a minute as Wil Wheaton read off a list of things from the 80’s for a paragraph or two, interrupting whatever flow the book had going on at the time to cram ‘memberberries down my throat. I prefer the movie because I can look at the ‘memberberry references without them interrupting the other cool bits.
Okay that’s fair lol, I didn’t know wil read it. I listened to him in Third Eye and he got… Annoying
I like the movie where the person go into the computer
Have I got an MST3K for you then… Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
“Mother… my nuts.”
I like the movie where the person go into the computer :)
Even Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace?
I didn’t know they made a sequel
Now I’m scared
Lol, I really like premise too. It can be done better, tho.
That’s why I support all sorts of sci-fi that is complete garbage. I want the genre to thrive and if we stop showing up Hollywood stops giving money.
It’s a work of art.
A simple tropey story to hang some amazing visual and aural art off.
I watch it often.
Give me the soundtrack, that’s all I need.
Love it. Sad Daft Punk may not release anymore music.
I still hope that Disney throws a small fortune at them for the Tron 3 OST
Last thing I heard was that the soundtrack is being made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It’s the next best thing, if you ask me.
Yeah, sad about Daft Punk but this is the next best option I could think of
Johnny Greenwood would be another great option.
I think one of them is going deaf sadly
Wait, people dislike Tron? I had no idea
I’ve watched it when I was younger a couple of times but for me personally it was just a movie I watched amd the idea of rewatching it feels boring to me
The Daft Punk soundtrack against the hyper-electronic visuals is a fantastic blend for the senses.
my answer for this is always BASEketball
one of the funniest movies of all time yet only has 41% on RT
I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times, I’m outta here dude.
You kids and your Dan Fogelberg and your Zima (I may be misremembering)
I hear your sister’s going out with Squeak!
Dude.
Dude. No said no more journey psych outs
What’s a bajoina?
The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.
Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.
Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.
Dragonheart (1996)
Godzilla (1998)
Aeon Flux (2005)
Next (2007) - thought it was funny
3 Ninjas (1992) - classic
Last action hero. I think the people don’t understand that the film does it all on purpose.
It is a love letter to action movies while acknowledging that those are stupid.
It’s a fantastic movie that was just a bit late for the spoof movies of the late 70s/80s and too soon for the torrent of them in the 2000s.
‘I am the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger’ is not only something I say to my wife without context but also makes me laugh uproariously.
I don’t know how people couldn’t understand it was poking fun at all the ‘80s action heroes, especially Schwarzenegger himself. It’s a fun movie.
One could argue it is a demonstrative of every 80’s action movie trope, then going straight into the 90’s tropes list, and it does so with a smile.
That movie is so highly underrated.
The Hamlet trailer is worth watching it for alone.
The movie, and the ACDC song wasn’t received well either, maybe because of the movie? Big Gun rocks.
Waterworld. I love that movie so much. I’ve watched the theatrical, TV, and Ulysses cuts. I’ve read the comics. I’ve played the games. I bought it on Blu-ray the day Arrow released it.
