Just how...

Quite frankly, those are the prime years of one's life 😍

If you identify as male, perhaps... though aren't they the best years for all of us... ☕

That movie was an absolute slog; honestly, the highlight was watching her take him out just two minutes in whenever he messed up... 🙂 though I suppose I shouldn't have expected much more, since as Christopher Nolan often points out, these whole time-travel concepts are notoriously difficult to translate to the screen, let alone make actually make sense. They really should have just focused on crafting a spectacular showdown during the landing sequence ☕

I can't say I'm surprised, really... Amazon always manages to impress me with their selection of vendors, and honestly, the women aren't half bad either. I used to find DSquared quite dreadful, though perhaps my tastes have matured with age, hmm...

Sent the wife to the theater with her friends; there’s a certain joy in not having to sit through every single blockbuster, leaving me plenty of freedom to catch Transformers instead. Rosie 😍

If Interstellar lives up to the hype, we might catch it next weekend at AMC... though honestly, even getting a decent seat in a theater these days feels like a losing battle. Before that, maybe hit up XYZ—as my colleague Amanda Evans2 would tell you, it really just depends on whether I'm in the mood for some local comfort food or Chinese... 170 minutes is quite a stretch, and I find myself gravitating toward shorter films more and more as I get older, which is an interesting realization...

brightpilot6 said:Does anyone here actually grasp the concept of a remake? I mean, which specific remake is this version of Planet of the Apes supposed to be?

Technically, "remake" is the wrong term here, given that if they had actually executed it properly, the narrative would mesh seamlessly with the original film...

It’s quite a shame they didn't bother telling the full story—you know, the actual collapse of American civilization and how the apes managed to seize dominance—instead choosing to spend the bulk of the runtime on animated monkeys bickering with one another after giving us a mere five minutes of context...

If we are being honest, even that small group of humans could have wiped out every single ape with the weaponry they had available... 😬 The film fails to provide even a single convincing reason why the events of the first movie would have actually unfolded the way they did...

It seems our guy is the one leading the pack, though he tends to drift in and out of focus now and then...

Look how far cinema has come—if you can even call this stuff "top tier" anymore.

You certainly said that.

The mere fact that the remake features Mark Wahlberg automatically grants it an initial rating of 8/10 in my book...

Yes, Casey White13.

By the way, there's Transformers on Sunday—a film that doesn't pretend to be profound, but rather offers massive robots and Rosie Perez... 😍

The most compelling segment is those initial five minutes depicting the sheer chaos and societal collapse... after that, it becomes quite dreadful. Though, personally, I found the first half rather tedious. I much preferred the older remake.

Twelve... that's when they truly become dangerous...

I was thinking we might finally sit down and watch Interstellar, but my wife isn't having it... she’s been far too talkative lately, which I suppose is just one of those things about getting older, these wild years...

Affleck is basically a god, and his take on Batman will undoubtedly be the finest we've seen yet. For starters, he’s actually the only one who looks the part...☕

The concept for this movie—where a single tank rolls through the countryside, picking off German tanks one by one before eventually wiping out an entire elite SS unit in the finale... well, it just doesn't sit right with me if the goal is to make a serious war drama. I certainly don't have anything against movies that lean into that kind of spectacle, but those films aren't typically aiming for "prestige" from the jump.

Saving Private Ryan works as a solid war film because every scene feels grounded in reality; you don't see Tom Hanks storming the beaches of Normandy and personally clearing out ten different bunkers on his own... though I did manage something similar back in the day while playing Medal of Honor ☕...

Fury bets big on being stupid, featuring a single tank that somehow dominates everyone... I enjoy war movies, but this feels almost farcical right from the jump...

That new Planet of the Apes movie was an absolute disaster... just utterly pointless 🙏

In all honesty, this is easily the most hilarious thing I've read on this entire board... 🙏 😬

It might be best if you just started your own wiki page, much like that one goalkeeper did 🙏

Guaranteed losses won't fix anything ☕

The World Cup, including the soccer tournament, they've moved that to the winter now? ☕

This kind of loyalty isn't exactly for everyone 😳 😢
