Movies 2: Electric Boogaloo

I've never even heard of battle royal.. But speaking of battles I went and saw Bats V Supes today and well yeah I saw it

The more I hear about it being crap, the more I kinda wanna watch it. I told you all ages ago.

It's worth a watch if you have netflix. I have a feeling Bats v Supes is worth a watch too, if only because of all the bad things I've heard!

STAR WARS Rogue One get Hyped

I wasn't particularly excited upon seeing it and I'm not sure why. I'm sure I'll enjoy it when it's out, I just kind of wish we were pushing on with the next ep.

I recommend Eddie the Eagle, if you enjoy films like Cool Runnings (which is actually referenced near the end).

It's just nice to have something Star Wars on off years and Rogue One seems like it may have Darth Vader in it.

Oh yeah, I just think I'd rather have something else in a more unknown area, like I've said, it'll probably be good, just not clambering for more right now.

My reaction upon seeing Mon Mothma, the og stormtroopers, AT-ATs, and THE EFFING DEATH STAR, can be summed up thusly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VDgOXVsosg


Incredibly, INCREDIBLY excited!  All the hallmarks of Star Wars I grew up with, all coming back to the big screen?  I.  AM.  THERE!  It's great to see they're going to have something in store even for the off-years too!

Just back from seeing Zootropolis, the Disney film about a bunny cop in the big city. It's huge fun, with almost Pixar/Simpsons levels of sight gags. It's also a little bit dark, which I was not expecting! A big thumbs up.

I watched Spectre last night which I found to be rather boring.

That's good to hear Zero, I really need to watch some of Disney / Pixar films of recent years at somepoint.

Rogue One looks really fun! The Star Wars galaxy is full of lovely visuals and worlds and stories. Some of the novels, comics and videogames are much more interesting than the main Episodes, so having films like that as well will be grand.

When I first heard of Rogue one & seen a pixelated picture of the cast I assumed it was a game, not going to lie I was a tad disappointed when I seen it was a film.

It's got Donnie Yen in it though so it's going to be great!

Only thing Drunka most of that is not canon any more and I've not read any of the new comics.

Didn't know people didn't know we were getting a expanded universe film on the off-years of the Episodes.

You guys seen the theories that Jyn Erso is Rey's mother as Felicity looks a bit like Daisy and in the timeline it sort of works.

Just because Disney say they're more pretend than the other pretend things doesn't mean I enjoyed the Lando Calrissian novels any less, or that I won't enjoy another one if I read it tomorrow. I've read something like 50 Star Trek novels and none of them are technically canon, but I can fudge it so it works in my head.

What Star Wars is pretend

Disney can say what they like, Thrawn shall live forever!

I watched the Jungle Book the other day. It was really good! Just a good, fun, emotional romp, with great voice work and amazing looking animals. If they weren't talking and that, you'd believe they were all real. An easy recommendation.

Really keen on seeing that. I loved the animated Jungle Book and casting Bill Murray as Baloo the Bear is all kinds of right. But Civil War's just come out! What to do, what to do...

I liked Jungle Book, though I was pretty sleepy at the end so I don't remember it too well. I had seen Eddie the Eagle just before it so a lot of filmage for one day, that was suprisingly good too.

Saw Civil War yesterday, it was pretty bloody brilliant!

Yeah Civil war was absolutely brilliant, I'm going to see it again in a couple of days.

Though what happened after the movie wasn't so great.. Got pulled over by the cops for a "random" breath test twice. Then getting a notice for a brake light that was out which I had no idea and yet they gave me a damn notice.

Saw Inside Out Saturday night as I got 2 months NOWTV movies with my Xbox One, most of the films I have seen on there bit a few I do want to see like Inside Out which was very enjoyable Pixar fare.

Then yesterday before work, I saw Independence Day 2 which was very good at what it does a big dumb summer blockbuster about stuff blowing up.#

Did you guys go see anything on the trip?

Jay, Smurf, Zero and I watched the Super Mario Brothers movie at the end of Saturday night. Jay and Zero hadn't seen it before.

It is a very low quality film, with little to recommend it.
