State of the Game

2049 was far better than I dared hope, I actually thought it was a pretty great movie.
It bored me and I spent most of the film screaming (in my head) 'DO SOMETHING... ANYTHING... PLEEEEEASE... JUST GET ON WITH IT...'

The mate I saw it with lurved it, so....

<whatever>

Hmm. Will it be original Alien-y, or Prometheus Alien-y, I wonder?
Prometheus is an odd film for me, in 2D I find it okay to borderline dull, yet in 3D I find it much better. Which seems odd because there are no overt 3D scenes in it.

Not unlike 'Dredd' (2012) - it's decent in 2D, better in 3D.

In fairness to 3D, nothing could have saved Alita: Battle Angel (for me), and I'm faintly amazed that the second half of the film has been given the green-light. I won't be watching it.

I'm still waiting for the final Star Wars movie of the last three we were supposed to get. Everyone I know seem to have seen something they think is it, but that just can't be right.

:D S
 
I have the Razorback kit from The Mandalorian still sitting sealed from last year's chrimbo. And the Big Bang Theory set unopened as well from the year before that. My daughter would lose her absolute mind anytime I try building stuff without her, although she's almost seven now so can be "trusted to help".

(My favourite bit tho is my Lego Stephen Hawking)
Groovy. Lego remains cool.

Drug fueled trips would be more exciting than a forum post i'd imagine. But really you should probably stick to licking live toads ...for at least a bit of concern over diseases. Even if it seems to be a moot point at this stage.
I'd have to agree with you there!
...
Fun fact: Some toads and frogs have poison skin which causes hallucinations in humans AFAIK...so that might not be the best contrast there...

Just gonna drop a public health advisory here that licking cane toads will likely kill you by inflating your heart rate, which will lead to seizure and the end of all things.
This is primarily for our american, north austrailian and some oceanic and caribbean island friends.
They also like to sleep in alligator urine, if death didn't put you off.
Don't do it kids.
We don't have them in Ireland, thankfully... as with the UK.

I didn't mind the final three films, they weren't as bad as the hardcore fanboy lads made them out to be but certainly could have been better. (Still better than the prequels though)

There's a famous(ish) rant that Freddie Prinze Jr. goes on from a few years ago that's more or less bang on - they weren't made for middle aged fellas like me. They're for kids, the next "generation" of fans. Once that sinks in, the whole "ermagherd, Disney is ruining everything" sort of shifts. Instead I see my little four year old (at the time) dressed up as Rey, absolutely glued to them.

Asking for lightsabers for Christmas instead of Barbies. Wanting to go to Disney, not to see princesses or Mickey Mouse, but to see the Millennium Falcon and meet BB8. As much as the 20 stone lads living in their mam's box room might hate them, just for that reason alone I think they're fycking brilliant.

They're just not good films. Ask your daughter in 10 years time when she'll be asking all those awkward questions, if not before.
The first film is fanboy service. The second they licked too many toads and the third i just gave up on...they're just not good films.
They just don't stand up in their own right but that's not even why i don't like Disney.

The first film was a remake of A New Hope except with a Mary Sue instead of Marty Sue. The second one was hot garbage the moment Leia was blasted into space and then used never before or seen force power to yeet herself back inside a ship. The third one I didn't even watch.

The only good movie Disney have made since they got the IP was Rogue One.

Pretty much, but the toads where in early with the milk and then the sand later on in No. 2, an apt name methinks for so many reasons...
