Movies

Screw you guys.   I'm totally fine with mindless crap.  I watch movies to turn my mind off for a couple of hours.  Explosions, unbelievable plots and CGI fakery work just fine for me.

That's why I giggle like a school girl each time a new Fast and Furious movie comes out.

EDIT: and to answer your question, Doug-
Oh.  My.  God.  YES.

To be fair though @Chris  your giggle is schoolgirl-ish normally.

[Chris]

Fair point.

Almost went to see Deadpool 2 today, but decided not to. Saw the first one again a few weeks ago - think I'm burnt out on Ryan Reynolds humour at the moment.

Me,Me,Me! (Looking forward to Deadpool 2)

I'm with Chris. If I wanted intellectual stimulation I wouldn't go to the movies. I have to think and be creative all day at work. Sometimes you just need to watch people get shot and blown up.

Speaking of which, John Wick 3 is less than one year away. My boss thought I was nuts when I already put in my leave slip for May 17, 2019.

Agreed.  xXx: Return of Xander Cage was one of my favorite movies to come out last year. Vin Diesel drives a motorbike on the ocean.  It's frickin awesome…

Example of mindless fun: watching Pacific Rim 2 tonight

Because in the future, it takes two brains to do what I could do in 1992 with a joystick and six buttons

PR2 was ok but not as good as the first one. I liked John Boyega's character but Scott Eastwood couldn't act his way out of a paper bag

[DougNg]

Not that the acting in the first one was stellar either…the Japanese girl would go back and forth between Japanese and English in the same sentence...

It's like her English was so terrible she would have to finish her thought in her native tongue

For the dog lovers in the group: I loved A Dog's Purpose, and the "behind the scenes" scandal was a hoax. Highly recommended.

John Wick 1 and 2 are the best movies in the world.

[Chris]

Oh, so many great/terrible movies here.  Return of Xander Cage was truly bad, and I loved it.  John Wick 1 and 2 were fantastic, though I liked 1 better.  And Doug, my hat's off to you- requesting the day off for the premiere of 3 is next level.

[DougNg]

My boss is a huge John Wick fan too. Got him this for his birthday this year

I went to see Isle of Dogs tonight. Fantastic movie! We loved it.

[DougNg]

Pacific Rim 2 wasn't terrible, and Scott Eastwood's acting isn't much better than his dad at that age. Clint basically squinted and shot his way though most of his movies.

Batman Ninja was a complete shitshow though. I'm writing those 90 minutes of my life off on my taxes as a capital loss.

Anyone else seen Solo yet? I was actually really pleased with it. Of course, I’m the type of Star Wars superfan that hasn’t been disappointed since the prequels. And even then, I wasn’t that upset, lol
