Now he's just trolling.

rocky balboa was not that bad

It's not only the worst boxing movie I've ever seen, but it's in the conversation for worst overall movie I've ever seen.

It's so sentimental and stupid that it comes across as a parody of real Rocky movies.  Cloying, grating, shallow, boring, predictable, cliched.  All things panned by movie critics across America for every other movie, but apparently celebrated for this film given its inexplicable 76% rating on rottentomatoes.

despite all that it was enjoyable. the same cannot be said for Rocky V

Semi-funny story about my theater Rocky Balboa experience: After we left the theater, my wife said "well what did you think?"  and I said "It was terrible, one of the worst movies I've ever seen." And she said "Oh good, I was hoping I wasn't going to have to pretend it was OK."

there was only a 5.8% chance that both of you would have that opinion

I am in support of Rocky Balboa. it is stallone's JCVD

[CHONGS]

What about #Creed?

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think Stallone did a great job of sending Rambo off with a bang. That movie was enjoyable. Rocky Balboa was pretty bad, and I think deep down, Stallone knows it. That is why we are getting Creed.

[_33]

Creed is probably going to blow chunks.  But maybe not.

[pissclams]

I hate where this thread has gone.

I watched Black Mass last night.  I thought it was fine.  Though I thought for how long the movie was, there really wasn't much story.  Oh well, enjoyable to watch.

Also watched Bone Tomahawk and it was really, really great.  Would recommend to just about anyone, though it is gory at times (and at one point, it is VERY gory -- could've done without that).

So apparently you can only download Amazon movies to "Supported devices" which include: Fire tablets, Fire phone, iOS devices, and Android phones and tablets. But you can't download to a laptop.

WTF. How are we going to watch the Star Wars movies on the plane?

i have never heard of bone tomahawk but it looks like something i would like

You could watch them on your phone, unless it's not iOS or Android.

Download movie to SD card in phone; put said SD card in Surface tablet.

I am not going to watch a full length movie on a phone while trying to share the screen with Gooch. That's ridiculous.
Even the Surface screen is too small, IMO. Needs to be on the laptop.

Could also walk ass down into basement get physical DVD from the box set in said basement.


P.s. It's tough being the brains of this operation.

OMG! I asked last night if you owned the DVD and you said "I don't think so".

i have never heard of bone tomahawk but it looks like something i would like

It was really a wonderful movie.  Had me cracking up several times, but definitely wasn't a western satire or anything.  Unbelievable that it didn't get a theatrical release.  Richard Jenkins deserves at least a nomination for best supporting actor.  His character was really great.
