If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Watched American Made and Alien Covenant this weekend.

American Made - Not sure about all the hype this is getting. Would recommend as a Redbox or a watch on Netflix. . .but not worth the movie theater price to watch. I never really felt connected to the story or the characters / didn't care about their fate.

Alien Covenant - Can understand the hate this received, but I am a sucker for big budget sci-fi. For anyone that is interested in watching I think viewing this as a character development movie for David (Fassbender) makes the movie much more enjoyable.

I thought Wonder Woman was an incredibly boring and generic comic book movie. I felt the same way about Avengers. Seems like WW is getting more praise than it's worth for political reasons, but critics mostly liked Avengers, too, so maybe I'm just outside the mainstream. I find comic movies like Deadpool and GOTG much more entertaining because they're funny and don't take themselves too seriously.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I have yet to see WW but it is on my list.  Nolan's Batman pushed superhero movies to be a little darker and have more of a basis in reality.  Iron Man pushed for ones that don't take themselves terribly seriously.  Now most superhero movies are following one of those playbooks with the exceptions being Deadpool and GOTG.  I would like to see more risks in the movies but it's hard to be risky with billion dollar franchises.

Just sat down and watched the original (final cut) with my wife last night. Followed that up with the three shorts that have been released as marketing ahead of the new movie. Super stoked to see the sequel!  :excited:

I would really like to see a whole series of reviews like this.

WW is getting praise because it is the first DC movie to actually do well. I get the "political" buzz, but I did not know it had a female director or care that it had a female lead and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Putting it in the same class as Avengers (the first one) is pretty high praise.

So I watched the original Blade Runner and it was kind of boring. I hope the new one is better.

Also, I think I might have had it confused with Logan's Run in my head when I was thinking what it was about before watching.

Mrs. _33 and I almost got into a fist fight arguing about what Ben Afflecks brother should have done at the end.
