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.

    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.

    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.

    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 Though I will definitely say the Native American mice scenes are definitely outdated and a product of their time if you ask me.

    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.

    I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

    I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations… but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

    Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. “Sorry Boston but… you really ate shit this year…”
