Re: Jurassic World

Seeing Gray run around the park with a huge grin on his face made me feel like a kid. It was awesome. Such a well done, yet simple blockbuster.

Re: Jurassic World

I personally thought it was great. One of the most worthy sequels I've ever seen. Made me feel like a kid again. I feel like some people are taking it too seriously.

Glad to see its doing well.

Re: Rank The Indiana Jones Movies

Pratt is the only actor right now who could do the role justice. If they're gonna do it, might as well be with him.

I love how every frontrunner for Best Picture gets talked down simply for being the obvious choice.

Birdman, Boyhood and Nightcrawler were all fantastic films that deserve awards IMO. Also Grand Budapest Hotel.

Lego Movie and How to Train Your Dragon 2 were great animated films.

Is this a joke? Not only is that not the new dinosaur, it's super easy to find that information through a quick Google search.

Snake. Cuttlefish. T-rex. Velociraptor.

I'll leave it at that.

Re: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Which is why I saw the film in 3D 48fps first. However, PJ had to know that it wasn't a safe choice to make.

He's watched hours upon hours of footage at 48fps, so that might be the reason he...

I understand people hating 48fps. I hate it myself, and I can't for the life of me figure out why making a film look like a cheap soap opera is supposed to be more immersive.

It's so crazy how mixed the reactions to this film are. Cleveland's (my city) paper gave it a B+.

Except for Ori. I wanted to punch him when he asked, in the most over-acted prissy voice ever "do they have any chips?". Such a horrible line with horibble delivery.
