Were they going to make a female Expendables, then the idea got dropped real fast?

Don't know, but kinda believe if one of the leads (ie; Jason S) nearly dies while filming one of these movies, it might be a good idea to re-think the safety of everyone involved before proceeding to the next one.

Mr. Holmes



This decidedly human version of Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) finds him retired to the English Countryside, post WWII, some 30 years after his last case, a case which forced him to leave his profession, but which he can't quite remember due to the slowly manifesting symptoms of senility. What unfolds is a touching story of pride, age, loss, and guilt, as a curmudgeonly Sherlock stubbornly remains aloof to his weary housekeeper (Laura Linney), becomes a mentor to her son Roger (Milo Parker), and discovers the limits that cold facts have to alleviate suffering, as he searches for some peace in his final years.

Now THIS is a how you do a damn sequel. Why couldn't they have filmed this in IMAX 3D?

Sounds a bit like "Gods and Monsters" (which was the story of James Whale's later life)

I don't know if Inside Out is Pixar's best, but I think it is their most consistent film from beginning to end. Every beat in the story seems immediately recognizable in terms of moments of our own lives. And yes, it is riotously funny. My jaw was feeling a bit sore by the end from laughing and smiling along with the film so much.

Many of the lessons are familiar enough: We need sadness because it forms the core of our capacity for empathy and because it is necessary to develop the emotional resilience required to become a mature human being; as Louis CK would have it, we're lucky to live sad moments. Individual moments and memories in our lives have a complex emotional texture; no single moment is just happy or just sad, and part of growing up mean recontextualizing our memories in a way that is true to this complexity (witness Riley's breaking down as she is describing her childhood in Minnesota to her new classmates in her first day at her new school; our later experiences change the emotional valence of our previous ones).

Watching the film, I noticed that Disgust has relatively little to do in the film, but maybe that's just as well (pdf link). There's also been some discussion over the fact that there is no personification of Reason in this film. How you feel about this depends on whether or not you side with Hume or Kant in the debate over practical reason, but for now let me just say that I don't think a personification of Reason would have worked cinematically. Roger Ebert once said that movies are "empathy machines"; I don't know if that's true in general, but this movie most certainly is. A character of Reason just doesn't serve the cinematic purpose of this film.

I just watched the Robocop reboot on Netflix. It was very bad. I liked the look of the drones, and the tech, but why for the love of logic would you save Murphy's hand?!

 

In the cyborg conversion process you have what essentially amounts to a brain (and vital organs) in a jar and you save his hand because ….. reasons? In addition to that, the design of Robocop stupidly leaves the most vulnerable part of his body exposed, namely his head and face. If all Alex Murphy has left is < 3/8 of his body then why not just slap the whole thing inside of hardened tank shell with no outside exposure? 

 

 

Seriously, Cyberpunk and Shadowrun are better at modular borg designs than Robocop.

I didn't feel like waiting to watch it.

 

So I put on Justice League Gods and Monsters.

 

I liked the Bruce Timm artstyle again. But it was just kinda forgettable.

I recently finished watching Fury.

 

For once Shia LaBeouf didn't play a character I wanted to punch repeatedly.

 

I wish we got a bit more of Norman after the final events of the film though.

I love how it says the second one on there.

 

"Really? I thought the 2 was there for show."

I loved the first one. Pure fun

Saw Inside out last weekend, definitely one of Pixar's best films.

[The Devlish Redhead]

Cool I want to see that. I'll wait for it on disk

How is Genisys doing at the box office?

[TheClonesLegacy]

Not as well as Jurassic World.
It's better than 3 & 4 at least.

Also I saw Fury Road again.

Flopping hard.

The ending of Sharknado 3 is... something else.

Cool anyone well known in it? I thought Taylor Swift was going to be in one of those

The Taking of Deborah Logan, saw it with a friend on Netflix. It's not bad, I dig it.

 

I recommend you go and poop beforehand though, because dear Christ does it have some seriously disturbing imagery and it might make you s**t yourself when you see it. Not really "scary" per se, but you'll be seeing it in your dreams.

Nothing is as disturbing as human centipede.... poop in the mouth indeed
