I'm glad to see someone else who regularly watches movies through the week.

I watched X-men:Apocalypse this weekend with my oldest son. We enjoyed it, but boy did that movie have the highest death toll of anything we've ever watched. We both came out of the movie kind of disturbed that Xavier was fine with just letting Magneto get off scott free. I mean, sure, he helped them take down the big bad, but that was AFTER he was responsible for the deaths of what had to have been MILLIONS of people. Sure, it sucked that people wouldn't just let him live in peace, and that his wife and daughter were killed, but I don't really think I could in good conscience let somebody like that roam free after demonstrating that they were unstable enough to be willing to essentially kill the whole world (and have the power to actually do something about it). What happens next time somebody pisses him off?

Sniper 3 (2004)

"Sounds like 'F**k the Police.'
-What kind of idiots write a song like that? You ought to try listening to a little Bob Seger.
What?"

I would guess I watch roughly 70% as many movies as you, but that also includes TV shows. I just don't post them all the time because....well, because I'm lazy.

Seriously, a lot of people are surprised by how many movies I watch in a week, but I find that a lot of those same people (not all) watch 2 or 3 hours of TV a day. I don't. If you just translate that time, that's 7-10 movies right there. There's a lot of other factors too (like being willing to stream small parts of movies while doing things like eating lunch or getting dressed; plus not having a life ), but for sure the time when many people watch their shows I am watching a movie (about 1/3 of the time one I haven't seen).

Fant4stic. 2015



Pretend that the FF you know and love with all its trappings and misgivings doesn't exist. At all. Never created, never conceptualized, never put to ink. All of it. Throw it away.

Now you can enjoy this movie.

Knight And Day (2010)

I'm glad to see someone else who regularly watches movies through the week.

Yeah most of this summer my brother and I've been trying to catch up on some movies we've been meaning to watch. We checked out/rented most of these movies from the library or borrowed them from our mother. We watch one movie a night after work or on our days off. We're looking at as many movies as we can before the TV shows we watch return for the Fall TV season.

Slacker (1991)

"And remember: the passion for destruction is also a creative passion."

I watched this because it came up on a list of top Gen-X movies and as part of what started the 90s indie wave. It's very weird and basically plotless, traveling from one person or group to another as they pass each other (no one for more than about ten minutes). No one is normal or boring; it gives the impression that '89 Austin (when/where it was shot) was full of anarchists, conspiracy theorists, philosophers, and avant garde artists.* But it was pretty fun; often funny and just interesting for its non-traditional structure.

*For instance, the lady on the cover is trying to sell a preserved pap smear from Madonna to an unemployed musician and a woman recently released from an insane asylum having a conversation on the street.

You had me fooled.

You had me fooled.

I didn't know from the cover either, but when you see her move and hear her talk, I don't think there's much doubt. If anyone is interested or wants to get a flavor of the flick, here's the scene:

The whole movie is more or less like that. It's not the kind of thing I'd watch a lot, but I could imagine talking about the movie with film buffs.
