Speed 2 is great for a different reason.

oh no

[nocera]

Speed 2 is so bad it's great. Also was a fun HDTGM episode.

Source of the post Speaking of True Lies, Last Action Hero is another often overlooked Arnold movie. I love it.

Hell yeah it is.

I love Last Action Hero. GTFO of here with that 'Speed 2 is so bad it's great' horse hockey. You want to talk so-bad-it's-great? Fire up some Last Action Hero.

True Lies is great. Speed is great. Speed 2 is great for a different reason.

Speaking of True Lies, Last Action Hero is another often overlooked Arnold movie. I love it.

LAH is definitely overlooked. And, I think it could be remade.

I think I would have enjoyed the silliness of Speed 2 more of Sandra Bullock wasn't in it. I can't stand her face.

Shaf, expressing an opinion

[Silentom]

Yeah, that opinion is along the lines of whatever jabroni here at fifthavenueforum dot com said Idina Menzel can't sing well.

tif White Knighting Sandra Bullock again. Weird. Good to know it's a him problem and not an us problem.

[shafnutz05]

I thought being annoyed (irrationally or not) by Sandra Bullock was a fairly mainstream take.

For example, I loved Gravity but hate that

Clooney had to die and not her

[NTP66]

I was glad that it was Clooney and not her.

[Silentom]

Live action Sonic the Hedgehog? What the **** **** is up with that.

[NTP66]

I'm all for it. I had Sega as a kid, so I played a lot of Sonic.

[Silentom]

Samesies, but I never imagined it would be on the big screen.

With Jim Carey as Robotnik, no less.

Pfft. Last Action Hero is just straight up good.

Watched "Bleed for This" a couple weeks ago. Boxing movies are an inherently simple premise for drama movies and even when they're not necessarily "good" (ie: Southpaw), they're usually at least watchable and exciting. Somehow I've watched two boring as **** boxing movies in a row, the other being "Hands of Stone". I thought the cast put in some great performances, with Miles Teller as Vinny Paz, Aaron Eckhart as "drunk, washed up Irish boxer/trainer guy", Mance Rayder as "Italian Dad", Katey Sagal as "Italian Mom", and Captain Stottlemeyer as "Shady Boxing Promoter", but somehow they turned a story about a boxer coming back from a broken neck into a complete snooze fest. Hands of Stone was much worse, but at least it had Ana de Armas, but those scenes (and others featuring her that are even better) can easily be found elsewhere.

As a fan of boxing and boxing movies, hopefully Creed 2 is good.

[NTP66]

Tomb Raider was good mindless fun. I enjoyed it.

I watched it this past weekend, and agree. I'd see a sequel if one was made.

premiered on this day in 1986. What a movie.

Dear Member,

Last night, the Board of Governors met to elect new board officers, and discuss and approve significant changes to the Oscars telecast.

The Board of Governors, staff, Academy members, and various working groups spent the last several months discussing improvements to the show.

Tonight, the Board approved three key changes:

1. A three-hour Oscars telecast

We are committed to producing an entertaining show in three hours, delivering a more accessible Oscars for our viewers worldwide.

To honor all 24 award categories, we will present select categories live, in the Dolby Theatre, during commercial breaks (categories to be determined). The winning moments will then be edited and aired later in the broadcast.

2. New award category

We will create a new category for outstanding achievement in popular film. Eligibility requirements and other key details will be forthcoming.

3. Earlier airdate for 92nd Oscars

The date of the 92nd Oscars telecast will move to Sunday, February 9, 2020, from the previously announced February 23. The date change will not affect awards eligibility dates or the voting process.

The 91st Oscars telecast remains as announced on Sunday, February 24, 2019.

We have heard from many of you about improvements needed to keep the Oscars and our Academy relevant in a changing world. The Board of Governors took this charge seriously.

We are excited about these steps, and look forward to sharing more details with you.

John Bailey and Dawn Hudson

Looks like the Oscars found a way to get superhero movies into the awards...

Te be honest, this is bullshite. There is already an award for that, and it is called the "Giant **** Off Pile Of Money You Made Releasing Derivative Nonsense" award.

I agree, people can have whatever opinion they want on the academy, but this comes across like a category from the MTV movie awards.

Next for the 93rd Academy Awards, the new categories of: Best Kiss, and Best Scared As Sht Performance.
