Bengals1181 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I can't help but see MIB when I watch that I've seen that comparison a lot, and think it rings true, though I'm pretty sure RIPD has been around longer as a comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actium Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 We went and saw Heat this past weekend. I thought it was wretched. Others laughed quite a bit, however. I guess I just don't find Melissa McCarthy all that funny--she plays the same character in every movie. Loud, obnoxious, sloppy...but with a troubled past and a heart of gold. Ugh.

Go Skins Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I saw Despicable Me 2 on Saturday morning, don't recall much about the original but the 3-D is very effective. There are some funny moments, it's worth paying the 3-D price but not the full price. Saw Lone Ranger last week, sucks beyond belief, very boring, and Depp's comic relief doesn't help one bit. Do not waste your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIB movie - 1997 RIPD comic - 1999 perfect timing for someone who potentially got inspired by MIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 at the same time, I hope it frees up Depp (who ironically didn't sign on for lone ranger sequels...at least yet) to maybe take on Dr. Strange for Marvel. They are looking for the Dr. Strange character to basically take over for Iron Man as the tentpole character of their universe. They're gonna need a star for the role.

Jason Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I had a bad feeling about Lone Ranger as soon as I heard Depp was doing Tonto. Especially after seeing the makeup. He looks more like a south american head hunter than an Apache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Skins Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 25% on RT for Lone Ranger, should be lower than that. Some critics really need to get their heads examined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks more like a south american head hunter than an Apache. I don't think that's much of an issue. He's been respectful to the character, and has a small percentage of Indian heritage in his background. IMO the issues seem more to be a dull script and the fact that Westerns aren't really "in" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its both for me at least, Depp as Tonto, and a script that just from the previews looks God awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm holding out hope that I get these experiences. My daughter likes star wars and superheros now, I just hope she still does when she's old enough to watch more than just parts of the movies (superhero ones that is, she's watch phantom menace and a new hope - yes, I made the mistake of not having her watch the Star Wars movies in the right order. :doh: ) a proud day to take my daughter to the doctor, come home and my other daughter and wife are on the couch watching The Avengers on their own. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actium Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 That movie "Pacific Rim" is coming out soon and got some pretty good reviews. I thought it looked wretched but maybe I could give it a shot. Also, I can't help but auto-complete the name to "Pacific Rim Job," which I'm sure will be the name of the Asian-themed porn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange 'n Black Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I saw The Lone Ranger, it wasn't an amazing movie but it was a decent popcorn flick. I think it got unfairly eviscerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enon Bengal Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 We went and saw Grown Ups 2 this week. The story line is pretty dumb but there are some seriously funny, laugh out loud moments in the movie. The scene with the grade school dance teacher is worth the price of admission all by itself.

I see that as a big sticking point plot wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I think AS character moves back to small town America to give his kids a more realistic up-bringing. The other guys never moved away, or that's what the movie would have you believe.
