I feel like I can hear your pupils moving in frustration.

I know itā€™s tough to accept that a frigginā€™ anime adaptation of all things is a Cinematic masterpeice. I myself HATED the original anime and the trailers for this werenā€™t particularly great.

I only saw it because i was stuck in town unexpectedly and needed time to killā€¦I had no idea i was going to be blown away like that. Love this movie!

You pick the weirdest shit to obsess over.

I also still donā€™t believe youā€™ve seen it so many times. It feels like a really bad gimmick.

Hidden easter eggs on DVD/ Blue Ray releases. A couple of these are interesting. #1 shows how far we have come with CGI.

Weird? The movie is amazing! With one of the most compelling & admirable lead characters iā€™ve seen in years. The closest movie i can take of prior to this, was 2017ā€™s Logan, and prior to that iā€™m drawing a blank.

As for the number of times iā€™ve seen it? Iā€™ve actually MEMORIZED the Perfect moments to take a piss break without missing much. One of them being after the villian kills that one guy (ā€œno one is greater than the gameā€). I leave immediately after and by the time i come back, that sweet underwater scene has just started. Perfect!

Yeah youā€™re just shit posting at this point

Has anyone seen that Alita movie yet? Thinking I might check it out. Iā€™ll probably just wait for it to come to Netflix, though.

Itā€™s okay, not everyone can recognize greatness. I feel like i could write a 13-page essay on how much i love that movie.

And i could stand to see it a few more times actually, bringing the total to an even 10 viewings but, money getting a tad tight. It wonā€™t take me long to get back on track again but, by then the movie will probably have ended itā€™s run.

Oh well. Thereā€™s always the home video releases. Definitively buying it on Blu-Ray!!!

Nnnnnnn at the down votesā€¦

Is that real? It looked fakeā€¦like really fake. Her helmet didnā€™t even look like it fit lol.

And why the female focus? No DOOM Slayer? Looks hella fake.

Wiki says itā€™s a direct to video film. Probably why it looks like that

I keep forgetting how ridiculous stacked the next few months is for movies coming out. Work disability program gave me until the 1st of June to come back to work (though I can extend it). I may just spend that time vegging out on movies Iā€™ve bought on iTunes and going to the movies a bunch while I recover. Cause I have no intentions of going back to work as soon as I get discharged from the hospital. Thatā€™s just stupid. I just donā€™t know if I have enough cash to last until June. Lol.

My parents said theyd help with my bills, groceries and stuff if they need to but I donā€™t want them to even remotely help me out in those ways. I havenā€™t needed them for that since I was 18. Donā€™t plan on going back to that kind of dependence anytime soon.

Iā€™m actually somewhat happy that superhero/tentpole movie releases are more spreadout through the year now.

Valentines weekend has been a great time forsci fi /action imo in the last 4 years oddly enough.

2015- Kingsman
2016- Deadpool
2017 - John Wick 2
2018 - BP
2019 - Alita

Kinda strange that with ALL the stuff coming out, the only thing Iā€™m hyped for right now is Jordan Peeleā€™s ā€œUsā€ (which has been getting good reviews from an SXSW screening). And I donā€™t even like horror movies.

If you had told me Peele from Key & Peele would be making horror movies I actually care to see a couple years ago, Iā€™d walk out of the room. But here we are.

Jafar seems a bit flat and I donā€™t like Will, but the set design/costumes/fx look good imo.

And Jasmineā€¦skeet skeetā€¦

Yeah. Aesthetically it looks ā€œfineā€. Jasmine looks great. :drooling_face: the rest though? :face_vomiting: especially Will Smith. He isnā€™t even remotely close to being the same caliber as Robin Williams in any way.
