I didn't care too much for Lego Movie 2. Since DC has botched batman, I've been on board with the lego version pretty much making fun of the character, but last night I realized that I just want to see them make a good Batman again and I don't much appreciate the new normal of just making fun of him. Man, I hope Matt Reeves gets it right.

The real hero here is whoever made those indestructible mirrors.

Racing in the Rain can suck my nuts. (not a Dempsey fan).

If Deadpool's superpower is that he has incredible healing powers why does his face look like used hamburger meat? Comic movies are so dumb/arbitrary/contrived.

How does Superman shave or get a hair cut?

Kryptonite blades.

Nerd Alert: He uses his heat vision angled off a mirror to shave.

So all that you need to defeat his heat vision is a medicine cabinet mirror?

I can't believe I'm about to explain a super, but here we are.......................

When Wilson was given the super special healing factor super sauce, he had a type of cancer (I do not know if it was ever specified). That means the super sauce works with the cancer cells just like the regular healthy cells. As the super sauce procedure disfigured him, that means his healing factor will constantly be at work keeping the unhealthy cells in stasis in parallel to the healthy cells, permanently maintaining his disfigurement.

It all makes perfect sense, really.

Got it. To be fair, I kind of forgot that the 'burns' were a result of his transformation and not the cancer.

Sorry, I only answer one question per poster.

It 2 trailer...I wouldn’t suggest it. It shows a large chunk of a really creepy scene that would be better viewed in the context of the full movie, IMO.

That was creepy AF and a terrible use of that scene.

So, I check my seat this morning for Endgame (I'm in J10). If you booked after me, would you have sat so close with the entire theater empty?

[Kane]

Yah mon. I 11 and 12 are prime spots.

[dodint]

The one time I did assigned seating someone sat next to me in a show that was maybe 60% full. Dumb.

Watched White men can't jump. Man, people talked funny not too long ago. Good movie. Looks like this may be the year I watch a bunch of Wesley Snipes movies.

[NTP66]

I’m still holding out hope for another Snipes Blade movie.

He just reprised the role in last week’s episode of What We Do in the Shadows.

[NTP66]

Hmm, so I may have to check out that series now. Thank you!

I have them all taped and have watched the first 2 or 3. It's so good. I had no idea they brought back blade, that is terrific! If you haven't seen the movie, seek it out (might be streaming on Amazon). Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement did some brilliant work on both.

[Dickie Dunn]

I loved the Blade movies. Even Trinity. I think the behind the scenes stories from that movie would prevent him from ever truly reprising the role.

The original Jumanji does not hold up. Woof

Zathura is the much better version of that movie

[NTP66]

Zathura was awesome.

@eddysnake: Watched ‘The Wandering Earth’ today, and enjoyed it. Crazy plot, which is probably why it was a fun watch. My wife caught the last hour or so and was not impressed, lol.

My wife wouldn't even watch it with me after I told her what it was about haha

[eddy]

Watched The Dark Crystal last night. Incredible movie. Also very creepy, hmmmmmmm. The 4k restoration is gorgeous.

[NTP66]

Yeah, I remember that being super creepy as a kid.

[eddy]

yep, still is. the kids loved it which I was excited about. Apparently Jim Henson wanted to scare kids because it was a good emotion for them to deal with. I really miss hardcore weird fantasy like this, hopefully the new one will be good. We're trying to go through all the Jim Henson stuff in anticipation of his museum exhibit for our trip to NYC.

I have The Labyrinth on one of my TiVos just waiting for the day that I think my daughter will be able to watch it and not have nightmares.
