Man, this is such an interesting topic to dive into. Honestly, you could probably write entire books about all the crazy stuff you have to deal with just trying to enjoy a movie, and most of it doesn't even cost you a dime extra 🤣. I mean, I’m laughing about it now, but trust me, while the movie was actually playing, it wasn't funny at all.
Picture this: three high schoolers sitting right in the front row, just talking their heads off, laughing, eating, and drinking like they’re hanging out at a Starbucks instead of a theater where the whole point—the entire reason anyone shows up—is to actually watch the damn movie. I was sitting somewhere toward the middle, just stewing, thinking about getting up and confronting them myself since nobody else seemed to care, but then after about fifteen minutes, some guy totally lost his cool. He stood up and just barked at them, "Hey! You three, shut up or get out and talk outside, do you hear me?" And thank God, they actually got up and left.
That’s the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread.
I really don't get how someone can be that rude and completely inconsiderate of everyone else. Like, people actually pay good money to sit there and immerse themselves in a film, so why would anyone want to shout over them or do something else that ruins the experience for folks who specifically came to focus and enjoy what they paid for? It makes zero sense to me. And don't even get me started on parents; they just let their kids run wild without a second thought about whether they're being loud or disruptive.
Look, if it’s a comedy and people are laughing, sure, maybe a little extra commentary here and there is fine as an exception, but for any other genre? There is absolutely no excuse for it.
Man, I haven't posted anything in here for years, and thank God for that because I was really hoping nobody else had been passing out or fainting lately!
Well, yesterday, I actually passed out for the first time in my life.
It happened because I cut myself, and man, the blood was just gushing everywhere like something straight out of a horror movie, right? So, while I was scrambling to grab some paper towels to stop the bleeding, my head started spinning, I felt all my strength just draining away, and everything went hazy... then I just hit the floor. Honestly, the only thing I can really remember is that sudden sensation of falling backward, but the actual fall itself is just a total blur.
Waking up was an absolutely terrifying experience. It starts with your vision getting all weird and distorted—nothing is steady, it’s just spinning around like a dizzying film reel—and then slowly, sounds start creeping back in, but they're muffled and loud all at once. I mean, those first few seconds of waking up were just brutal. You're trying to see, but nothing is clear, everything is shifting and moving, and you're just sitting there desperately trying to steady your gaze, wondering, "What is happening to me? Why can't I see normally?" It was pure agony, honestly. Just absolute misery. Those moments were so incredibly scary and unpleasant.
Honestly, we seriously need to set up a proper new poll so everyone can actually see who voted for what, instead of this mess. I already cast my vote, but I’m not about to just spill the beans on which movies I picked. If the poll had been designed correctly in the first place, you wouldn't even have to ask me, because the results would be right there for everyone to see!
I’m one of those people who just can't stand stopping a movie halfway through—it's like, why even bother starting if you aren't going to see it all the way to the end? I honestly just sit there and power through the whole thing in one go!
Honestly, if I start feeling that heavy fatigue hitting me and my eyes begin to drift, all I do is splash some cold water on my face and power right back through. I just can't bring myself to stop mid-stream—it feels way too half-baked to break the momentum like that, you know?
Man, it’s happened to me a few times now where I’ll be feeling totally fine and energized, and then out of nowhere, my eyes just start drooping like crazy. It doesn't matter if I splash some ice-cold water on my face or anything; it’s useless! My brain just shuts down for a minute, and I have to call it quits and finish whatever I'm doing the next day, but honestly, that's just not the same thing. Usually, if that happens, I'll just clear my schedule for tomorrow so I can sit down and really sink into the movie from the very beginning and experience it properly from start to finish. But hey, if the movie isn't even that great, I'll just pick up right where I left off later. Because let's be real—when you can actually stay immersed and watch something all the way through in one beautiful, uninterrupted flow, getting lost in that world and living through the story... man, that’s when it’s the real deal.
Honestly, TV series are on a whole different level than movies—it’s more like sitting down with a massive novel that just keeps unfolding. Take something like Marvel, for instance; you've got three seasons there, and if you add up all the runtime, you're looking at something like 600 or 700 minutes per season! I mean, who actually has the stamina to binge all that in one go? It’s just impossible! Personally, I treat a good series exactly like a long book—I like to savor it, taking it in bit by bit rather than trying to swallow the whole thing at once. I mean, look, the movie isn't some massive three or four-hour epic that you have to commit your entire life to just to finish it, right? It’s actually short enough that you can just sit down, get comfortable, and binge the whole thing in one go without having to pause every five minutes to grab a snack or check your phone!
Charlize Theron would be absolutely perfect as Red Sonja👍
I mean, seriously, she’s tall, she’s gorgeous, and just imagine her rocking that red hair—she would be so incredibly hot & sexy, right? And look, I’m totally leaving out the fact that she’s a phenomenal actress because, honestly, in a flick like this, talent isn't even the main event.
As for Kalidor, wouldn't Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, be just the man for the job?
And I think Kate Backinsale would actually be a killer choice to play Queen Gedren.
If they want this thing to actually work, the Director really ought to be Christopher Nolan.😁
So, I was just sitting here thinking about how crazy things have been lately, and it got me spiraling down this rabbit hole regarding the whole History of Predator. Like, seriously, when you step back and look at the entire timeline, isn't it wild how much this one franchise has shifted since it first hit theaters? It’s one of those rare cases where a single concept can just completely redefine an entire genre of sci-fi horror. I mean, think about where it all started. You had that raw, gritty tension that just felt so visceral, and then you watch how everything evolved through the sequels and spin-offs. It’s such a massive journey, right? One minute you're dealing with that intense, high-stakes survival vibe, and the next, you're looking at how they tried to mash up different universes or push the boundaries of what a hunter even is. Every time a new entry drops, you can't help but wonder if they'll actually capture that lightning in a bottle again, or if they're just going to lean on nostalgia. It makes you wonder, though—does anyone else feel like the sheer scale of the Predator Universe is almost too big to handle sometimes? There are so many different directions they could take it, from pure action to psychological dread, yet it feels like we're still searching for that perfect sweet spot. It’s honestly fascinating to track how the fans' perception has changed over the decades, especially considering how iconic some of those early moments were. Is it just me, or does the legacy of this thing feel more heavy and significant every time we revisit it?
Man, this is such an interesting watch, especially if you haven't actually sat down to dive into the Predator franchise yet or even caught just a few of them!
Honestly, I thought it was a pretty solid superhero flick. 👍
Noah Roberts46 said:It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. There are some genuinely funny moments and the action hits the mark. But, like someone already pointed out, the real issue is the lack of character development—it feels like they needed another thirty minutes of breathing room. I’ve been reading that Hardy mentioned his best scenes were actually left on the cutting room floor. The first half of the movie drags like a slow burn, and then suddenly the plot starts sprinting to the finish line. That said, Hardy delivered a solid performance and I had a good time. There’s definitely potential for future sequels if they actually learn from these mistakes.
So, I’ve been sitting here just thinking about Toy Story 4, and man, where do you even begin with a masterpiece like that? Can you believe we're actually getting more of this magic after everything we went through with Toy Story 3? It feels like just yesterday we were all crying our eyes out at the end of that third one, right? But now, here we are, looking at what Josh Cooley has cooked up for us, and honestly, I am so incredibly hyped to see how they handle the legacy of Woody and the whole gang. I was checking out the Toy Story 4 trailer #1 over on Movieclips Trailers recently, and let me tell you, my heart was racing! Seeing Woody back in action alongside Buzz Lightyear and Jessie—plus, seeing Rex popping up too—it just hits different, you know? And then there's Bo Peep! Seeing her return in such a revamped way is such a cool twist, isn't it? It really makes you wonder how much the dynamic is going to shift now that she's back in the mix. Plus, having heavy hitters like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen back in their roles? That is basically a guarantee for greatness. Even with names like Patricia Arquette and Annie Potts involved, the star power alone is enough to make anyone lose their mind! It’s funny because you start wondering if the story is going to follow the same emotional beats we loved before, or if they're going to take us somewhere totally unexpected. Is it going to be a total tear-jerker again, or more of an epic adventure? I mean, with Disney behind this, you know the animation is going to be absolutely mind-blowing, but the soul of the thing... that's what matters most to me. I’m just sitting here eagerly waiting to see how they balance the nostalgia with something brand new. What do you guys think? Are we ready to dive back into this world?
Can we just talk about Toy Story 4 for a second? Seriously, I can't stop thinking about it! Is anyone else as hyped as I am to see where this whole journey goes next? It feels like just yesterday we were all crying our eyes out at the end of TS3, you know what I mean? Now here we are, staring down the barrel of a brand new chapter, and I honestly don't know if I'm ready for the emotional rollercoaster that Disney is about to throw us into! Who hasn't grown up with Woody and the gang? It’s wild to think how much this series means to us.
Mark your calendars, folks—it’s hitting theaters on June 21, 2019!
I was just scrolling through IMDb the other day, probably wasting way too much time, when I stumbled upon some discussions about the upcoming Toy Story 4 release. Honestly, does anyone else get that weird sense of nostalgia just looking at these movie pages? It’s like stepping back in time! I saw some people talking about the Toy Story 4 trailer #1 over on Movieclips Trailers, and man, seeing those animation frames again really gets the heart racing, doesn't it? I mean, we've been following Woody and Buzz Lightyear since we were kids, so seeing how Disney plans to evolve the story under Josh Cooley feels like such a massive deal. Is it just me, or does it feel like we're all growing up right alongside them? I can't wait to see if the vibe stays true to what made TS3 so emotional, especially with the legendary Tom Hanks and Tim Allen back in the booth. It's going to be wild!
I mean, seriously, where do we even start with this? If you’re looking for the lowdown on everything, you basically have to go straight to the Wiki, right? It’s like the ultimate digital encyclopedia for everything under the sun! Whether you're trying to settle a heated debate about movie trivia or just falling down a rabbit hole at three in the morning, that's the place to be. Honestly, isn't it wild how much info is just sitting there waiting for us? It's pretty much the backbone of all our deep dives!
Regis: Josh Cooley
The heavy hitters leading this one are Tom Hanks, Patricia Arquette, Annie Potts, Tim Allen, and Michael Keaton! Can you believe it’s actually happening? After nine whole years, we’re finally getting a sequel to Toy Story!Toy Story"!
Can you even believe it? After being gone for nine whole years, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Rex, and the rest of the gang are finally making their big comeback to the silver screen! I mean, seriously, how has it been that long since we last saw them? It feels like an absolute eternity, but the wait is finally over!
So, get this—Disney and Pixar just dropped the news that the fourth installment of Toy Story is officially hitting theaters next June! Can you even believe it? It feels like just yesterday we were all crying our eyes out over the finale of TS3, and now we're already gearing up for a whole new chapter. I mean, how are they going to top that emotional rollercoaster again? It’s going to be wild seeing what they have in store for us next summer!
Honestly, nobody even knows what the hell the plot for this fourth installment is actually going to be about yet, mostly because the whole production has been rocked by these massive creative clashes behind the scenes. I mean, can you believe that Rashida Jones and Will McCormack both walked away from the project back in November? They basically called out the studio for not doing enough to create actual opportunities for women and people of color, which just goes to show how messy things have gotten.
Can you believe it’s been that long since we first met this gang? The original Toy Story hit theaters way back in 1995, then we got the sequel in 1999, and finally, Toy Story 3 rolled out in 2010!
Izvor texta: So, I just caught wind of some news about the upcoming Toy Story 4, and honestly, can we just take a second to process the fact that they’re actually doing this? It feels like just yesterday we were all crying our eyes out during the finale of Toy Story 3, you know? But here we are, getting a fresh look at what Josh Cooley is bringing to the table, and I am totally losing my mind over it! I was checking out the Toy Story 4 trailer #1 over on Movieclips Trailers, and man, seeing Woody back in action really hits different. You see him looking a little more weathered, maybe a bit more uncertain about his place in the world, and it makes you wonder—is he actually ready to move on? And don't even get me started on the idea of Bo Peep coming back into the mix! Seeing her alongside Woody again feels like such a massive shift from how things left off, doesn't it? Is she going to be the one to finally push him toward a new adventure, or is this just going to break my heart all over again? The whole vibe seems a bit more introspective than the previous films, which I think is a genius move by Disney. They aren't just playing it safe with nostalgia; they're actually digging into the characters' souls. Plus, having the legendary Tom Hanks voicing Woody and Tim Allen back as Buzz Lightyear? That’s basically the gold standard of voice acting right there. It’s like watching two icons go toe-to-toe in a way that only they can pull off. I saw some chatter online from people like cosmiclynx57 and Carl Davis40 debating whether this sequel is even necessary, and I get where they're coming from, I really do. Why mess with perfection? But then again, isn't that the beauty of storytelling? To see how these characters evolve when life throws them a curveball? I’m genuinely curious to see if the dynamic between Woody, Jessie, and Rex stays as tight as we remember, or if this new direction changes the family dynamic entirely. Honestly, I'm just strapped in and ready for the ride!
briskeagle3 said:Is this some kind of contest now—who can film the biggest pile of GARBAGE? This latest monster flick was just mind-numbingly boring... honestly, it’s become a total epidemic lately.
Man, you hit the nail on the head. That’s exactly what it feels like.
It’s like they think the average person watching doesn't have any taste, so why bother putting in any effort? But honestly, if they just put in even a tiny bit of work—like, maybe just 10% or 15% more heart—these movies could actually be decent and something you'd actually enjoy watching instead of just zoning out.
I am seriously obsessed with The Grinch, honestly! There's just something so hilarious about how much he absolutely hates Christmas and spends all his energy trying to ruin the whole holiday for everyone else. Plus, knowing it’s going to be an animated movie makes me even more hyped for it!
Just finished watching it. It’s not totally unbearable if you stick it out until the end... but yeah, it's pretty bad. I seriously need to go watch Deep Blue Sea ASAP just to remind myself what actual high-quality shark entertainment feels like.
briskhound2 said:Setting aside Fast and Intense—which were basically just side quests anyway—this is hands down his biggest win as a lead. We're talking half a billion and counting at the box office. Honestly? This was the smartest move he could've made for his career. And since there are at least five novels featuring that character out there, I wouldn't be shocked if they start cooking up a sequel already.
As for the movie itself—it's a total summer flick. Some action, some light thrills, decent effects. The cool thing is they didn't try to force some mutated monster trope like they did in Jurassic Park. It’ll probably fade from your mind in about a week, but that's a whole different conversation...
Look, as someone who actually enjoys his movies, I'm not exactly thrilled seeing him in a flick like this, but hey, I get it—you gotta make that money when the opportunity hits, so let the man get paid!
I mean, yeah, I totally agree, but just wait until the sequel drops; I bet you anything there'll be some kind of mutated beast involved.
It’s a blast, honestly—definitely worth checking out if you’re a sucker for action flicks and anything starring The Rock. 👍
Visually, the thing is pretty slick too (the cinematography, the scale, those massive explosions), and there isn't a single dull moment, which is a huge plus since it never drags for a second; for a smaller-budget action movie, it’s actually quite solid. At certain points, I even got this vibe that it was basically a remake of Die Hard.
It’s honestly just a watered-down, weak imitation of Heat. I mean, if you want to see what a decent remake looks like, The Town eats this for breakfast and leaves no crumbs. This just doesn't hit the same.
And man, the character development? Almost non-existent. It feels like they barely scratched the surface with these people. Plus, that twist (spoiler alert: at the end) was totally pointless and felt completely unearned.
To be fair, the shootout scenes? Absolutely killer. They look incredible—seriously, better than good. That part was executed at a top-tier level. But honestly, they really missed the mark by setting that first shootout in the dark and then doing the final one during the day, which is basically the exact opposite of how Heat handled it. That final showdown should have definitely happened under the cover of night; the low visibility would have cranked the tension way up.
He ended up pulling a muscle and had to bail because the pain was just too much to handle 🤣 Total garbage! 👎 Honestly, Stallone should be embarrassed for even showing his face in a movie this bad.
briskhound2 said:You could honestly put Samuel L. Jackson in a hall of fame for actors who basically play the exact same guy in every single movie they're in.
I mean, look at Joe Pesci working with Martin Scorsese—he played his two most iconic roles with almost the exact same energy, right? Just this loud, hot-headed, totally unpredictable type. They're practically identical characters! And don't even get me started on Kurt Russell with John Carpenter; I absolutely love all his movies, but seriously, except for Elvis Presley, it feels like he’s just playing the same dude with a different name every time.
But then you look at Ridley Scott using Russell Crowe, and it proves you actually *can* make diverse films with totally distinct characters where you don't feel like you're watching some weird déjà vu loop.
I'm totally on board with everything everyone's saying here. 👍
Ethan Martin said:If you’re actually curious about what the "experts" think of Predator 1987, just head over to Metacritic—the score sitting there is a measly 30/100, which is basically a 3/10 🤣...
Honestly, I have zero words; talking to people who defend those kinds of ratings is just a total waste of breath.
No way! 😲🙂🤣 I usually just stick to rating stuff on IMDb, but it looks like that Met-a-crank hired a bunch of Meta addicts because that score is absolutely insane.
Look, I get that someone might not be a fan of Predator '87, but you’ve gotta give it a fair shake, right? A score that low just can't be real. For me, even with Terminator Genisys, I only gave it a 5/10 because that feels like an honest rating—it was just your typical, run-of-the-mill movie. It would’ve been totally dishonest if I’d dragged it down to a 3/10 or anything lower than that.
Man, Baywatch was hands down one of my absolute favorite shows growing up; it was just such a blast and totally defined my childhood years. Just like how that one monkey kept trying to knock Pamela out cold 🤣
As far as this movie goes, I'm really just looking for a lighthearted, fun flick that borrows the concept, so I'm not expecting it to be some deep remake of the original series—though hey, maybe it'll turn out to be a slick, modernized version of the show... I guess I'll find out once I actually sit down to watch it.
slytinker11 said:The whole movie is basically one big, mindless joke. It’s actually kind of fun if you go in with absolutely zero expectations. But man, it is way too long. That last half hour felt like total filler.
Plus, there's just constant nudity everywhere 😲, which is awkward considering how many seven or eight-year-olds end up in theaters. 😁
Well, personally, I'm expecting at least one pair of boobs to show up! 😁
A naked guy? Is he like, "over my head in my pants," you little monkey? Haha, okay, that was a rhyme. 😁 They might as well have shown off a "pizza pie" too, even if it was a little hairy. 😁
So, I finally sat down to watch Predator 2 the other day, and man, I just have to get this off my chest—that whole scene where Jamie Foxx slices off his hand? It was honestly so incredibly stupid, don't you think?
Why? Honestly, it’s just because that whole scene made absolutely zero sense and lacked even a shred of logic, you know?
I mean, seriously, why on earth would the Predator even bother triggering that self-destruct sequence in a situation like that? Like, what's the logic there? Why go ahead and blow yourself up when you aren't even backed into a corner or stuck without any other way out? It just doesn't add up, does it? I mean, come on, look at the positioning! He’s holding onto Jamie Foxx with his left hand and gripping that disc with his right, so wouldn't it make way more sense—and honestly, just be a lot more logical—if he used that left hand to just yank Jamie Foxx right off the building? I mean, seriously, isn't the answer a resounding YES?
Who on earth came up with this scene? Honestly, I think whoever designed it is a total moron.
In the original '87 Predator movie, that creature only triggers the self-destruct sequence once it’s backed into a corner with absolutely zero way out, you know? I mean, we all saw how Arnold Schwarzenegger basically dismantled him—he snaps that neck with that thick branch and then starts closing in with a massive rock just to finish the job. At that point, the Predator was completely helpless and couldn't move an inch, so it honestly makes total sense that he'd just hit the panic button on that device since he was already sitting there with the thing ready to go.
Man, I was just rewatching that scene where Jamie Foxx is cleaning up and lands that final blow, and honestly, it makes zero sense! Like, you can clearly see him holding that disk right there in his hand, right? And if the Predator is supposed to be this ultimate hunter, how on earth does it just stroll up without noticing that? If they wanted that to work, the fog should have been thick enough to hide the damn thing, but instead, it’s so obvious even my grandma could spot it from a mile away! Especially since the disk is practically glowing—it makes the Predator look like a total moron, and we all know that definitely isn't the case. It’s a massive oversight, honestly, but I guess there might be a reason behind it? Like, maybe they wanted to make it easier for the audience to track what Jamie Foxx was doing, keeping that disc right in his hand so we’re all sitting on the edge of our seats just waiting for him to finally take down the Predator? That’s the only way I can justify why it was handled that way—unless, of course, they were just working with a shoestring budget and didn't have the right gear to pull off something better.
The movie basically just has an intro, an intro, and then an ending. There’s zero actual development.
It starts off strong, I'll give it that, but once you get past the setup, there's just nothing there—it's like the whole intro drags on for an hour and a half and then we just skip straight to the credits. It’s seriously lacking action. We don't even get to see the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fighting on foot because they jump straight into the giant robots, which is such a huge bummer since I really wanted to see them holding their own in a scrap. And man, that finale? It was nothing special... honestly, the whole thing could have been handled way better. Don't get me wrong, the beginning is great—actually, it's fantastic because it does such a good job setting the scene—but it just lingers way too long and feels super stretched out. Just so nobody thinks I'm being light about this, I actually love a good drama and movies with a slower burn, so I'm definitely not one of those people demanding nonstop explosions without any dialogue.
