      I've rewatched Nolan's Batman trilogy this week. Great stuff and I still like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises way more than The Dark Knight. I'm still feeling it's way too overhyped and the other two are simply better.

        Finally got around to seeing The Watchmen and thought it was ok. Didn’t need to see Dr Manhattan’s blue dong though [emoji15]

          Kin: 7/10

          I know a lot of reviews trashed this movie but I liked it. If you like sci-fi then this might be up your alley. Pacing was slow but I liked the actors and didn’t think the script was terrible

            Woody Allen’s “Anything else”

            I’m a fan of Woody’s trademark style and storylines but here the folks were just a bit too unlikeable and/or infuriatingly stupid. 5/10

              Vice lools like it is going to be pretty good. It's crazy Bale gained so much weight to play Dick Cheney. He is a pretty versatile actor.

                Got to meet Christian Bale many years ago at a screening of The Fighter. Super nice and personable.

                  Awesome. It's great when celebrities are nice people. Makes me want to see this even more now.

                      I was gonna mention Bale’s meltdown on this movie. I’m sure there’s audio out there somewhere

                        In fairness to Bale, that movie suuuucked.

                          It sure did. Looked promising but then just falls apart

                            The only pieces of the Terminator franchise I enjoyed were 1 and 2, and I found them to be superb. The universe gets stale after that for me.

                            Think it, be it.

                              They are making a new ome with Linda Hamilton. It's supposed to be more like T2. I am cautiously optimistic.

                                James Cameron is involved too so definitely has promise

                                  Yeah. It's a shame the movies have been so bad.  I really liked The Sarah Conner Chronicles, so it's possible to do decent stories in that universe.  For whatever reason, they just haven't been able to do a decent movie after T2.

                                  Maybe Cameron and Hamilton can do it…

                                    The recursive and paradoxical nature of their time travel and causality model* after the first film and how it makes a final resolution impossible is as frustrating as it is lucrative for setting up a franchise. But I did enjoy T2 even while being bothered by the paradox.

                                    *See "bootstrap paradox": skynet was enabled by the technology discovered when skynet sent the technology back in time to eliminate one of skynet's enemies. The explanation of the technology's origination is an endless recursion with no "base case" such as an alien intervened, or some sort of super genius had an epiphany, etc. T1 lacked any such paradox, as skynet was something that the DoD and Cyberdyne developed and lost control of. There was no future technology that enabled the network.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      I never saw T3 but the last two movies didn’t make much sense imo because they disrupted the timeline. But, being a time travel movie they took creative license to reboot everything.

                                        T3 was pretty bad. You didn't miss much.

                                          I think you'd probably have to have alternate timelines / parallel universes to reconcile even what was done in T2 and T3 as it pertains to the time travel piece, though the latter was so forgettable that I can't recall the time travel aspects. And once you get into that territory (parallel universes), you don't even need time travel as a mechanism for endless possibilities (ie shaping the plot to drive a franchise). I think that's what they do with Spiderman, or so I've heard.

                                          Side note: I believe there is an infinite number of parallel universes. Instead of time travel, the ability to jump between them could be an interesting sci fi device: jumping between a manifold of universes in which everything that can happen, does.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            Ok, aside from Terminator, name some decent time travel movies. I think the last one I saw was Looper and before that it was Primer. Can’t think of anything recent.
