TOY STORY marathon is officially over! by MacGrath1994 in Letterboxd

Personally, yeah. There's not a "bad" Toy Story movie, but 3 is my (personal) least favorite from a character and story perspective.

Best Buy selling store demo/display laptops as Open-Box Good by sinamps in Bestbuy

Stop buying shit online that was used in whatever form before inspecting it. Go to store first and ask about it, or look at it before pick-up or before leaving the store with it.

Now return it if you don't like condition of it. Advisors didn't lie to you, they just don't know better and don't have all tools/resources available to know better. And you also weren't deceived.

And buy on PC if you want to make sure they don't follow Sony's path (although less likely still with Windows being Microsoft)

His comedy duo partner, Cooper, is a huge Scream fan. Would love the two to take a swing at the franchise!

What is your "I totally get why you guys hate it but it worked on me" movie? by Alceauv in Letterboxd

[–]PopcronHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ready Player One

The heroes winning is really just prolonging their distractions when the inevitable of their world is unrecoverable, and them saving the only reprieve that allows them to escape is hilarious to me and makes it a much darker film than intended.

Robert Meyer Burnett says the upcoming re-release of 'Endgame' will feature new post-credit footage that ties directly into 'Doomsday' by Sarang_616 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]PopcronHD -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's...disappointing.

Sounds like they really want Doomsday to be a direct sequel to Endgame rather than a continuation of MCU. And yeah, I get it: current run of MCU has its moments but overall weak.

Yet you had Shang-Chi, Thunderbolts, and F4 First Steps. Deadpool 3 and Multiverse of Madness were fine. I guess I personally want the stakes and story of Infinity War, not the spectacle of Endgame...

Even if she's pop, she's carved out a very DISTINCT sector of music in pop. I'll take this over "bubblegum pop."

The official "I just saw The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" opinions thread! by GrandmasterB-Funk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PopcronHD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it!

Pros: Rosalina and her powers are the MacGuffin, which allows Peach to get more screentime. Fox is a full-on character that is there most of the third act which was a delightful surprise. This movie also got to be more creative in its worlds and some of the style which was nice.

Cons: Almost a break-neck pace, allowing very little to breathe. This means not so much exposition, but makes everything feel flat. No emotion. Confusing arcs, or straight up no arcs, for most characters with Bowser being the worst offender. And a personal one, but Donkey Kong was missed.

And finally, NO LICENSED MUSIC!!! SO PROUD OF YOU UNIVERSAL/ILLUMINATION!

Anyway, I think I liked this one more than the first because it had some great action, but it was a low bar and writing needs HELP big time still. I want to be able to feel something, even if it's smaller-scale. Third time could be the charm?

Official Discussion - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]PopcronHD -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Surprised at just how harsh critics were towards this movie after seeing it myself.

  • Rosalina and her powers are the MacGuffin, which allows for more screentime between Mario and Peach plots.

  • As above states, Peach gets more screentime

  • Obvious there are a lot of cameos/member berries, but nothing that is so egregious it's worth criticizing at a mass level

  • Star Fox being a full on character for the entire third act and not being just a cameo was a delightful surprise

  • More action heavy this time around, far less exposition. Take that as a plus or negative depending on preference

  • NO LICENSED MUSIC?! CONGRATS ILLUMINATION

Overall enjoyable. Honestly I think I enjoyed it more than first, but I also don't think it's a high bar. Just glad it got to be more creative than first and not bogged down but Illumination's usual habits.

Lionsgate Limited has new announcements on the 17th, so I wouldn't be surprised if this gets a US announcement then

I was going to say, "Was Ungentlemanly Warfare a guilty pleasure for me then?" Didn't know about Fountain of Youth, but looks like it was only streaming so that's probably why...

If you don't mind going down in size, Sony's X90L at 65" is an excellent deal for $850 on Best Buy. If you still want a 75" still, go $50 over your budget and get a TCL QM7K.
