American Assassin... what a fucking nonsense.
More like "Spring Break Assassin", am I right?
Looked like Hollywood saw the success of The Kingsman, and thought "Well, let's fuck that idea up right now"
One saving grace... kinda pointing out that ....:::
taking a nuclear bomb a couple of km from the intended target, and dropping it into the ocean... probably not as effective as Batman hoped
:::Totally agreed @Kruse
Even more pissed off as I've read every one of the Mitch Rapp booksI've read all the books too, except the last one by Kyle Mills. I was a little disappointed, but low expectations helped. It's a shame because I love the books and thought they could have done a good job. Maybe a TV series like Homeland would be better?
I thought Rapp came across like a bit of a dick, but then I realised if I met the book character in real life he'd be a massive tool as well. I found myself a lot more sympathetic to the other characters having to deal with him in the movie than I am when reading the books.

Listen to the Struggle for Pleasure:
A big fan of Peter Greenaway. This is one of his best films. I saw this probably 25 years ago and still can't get the sight of Brian Dennehy's bollocks out of my head

Movies you like that are universally disliked and panned
I like "Sahara" with Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz. It's stupid, but it's fun. Fuck you i don't care.
Cruz looks hawt in her black singlet and cargo pants.
Disclaimer: I also like National Treasure. Stupid adventure movies are my thing.

I had a thing for Claire Forlani in the late 90s so I've seen it a few times as well. I still laugh every time Pitt gets smacked.

@antipodean that's a good movie! How fucking hot is Forlani in it?

I've always found her to be at her hottest in Mallrats, then she started getting skinnier.

Anyone seen Black Panther yet? Is it overhyped?
Creaming it in the box office, made more in its opening 4 day weekend then DC’s Justice League made in its entire domestic run. (US box office)
Proving yet again how far ahead the MCU is ahead of DCs

Black Panther is drawing the weirdos up to the edge of their echo chambers.
If you don't love it, you hate black people apparently. Saw an article labeling it "Shakespeare". It might be the greatest movie ever according to some. White supremacists were apparently down rating it on websites before it even got to previews, and claiming it is racist or something (not clear on the details).
But apparently its so great to FINALLY have a black comic book hero on screen, according to some.
Riiiiiiiiight.

@nta I don't read the stuff from either side (I usually find out about it on the Fern), I just go watch the movie.
Apparently the movie The Promise is the best example of the stupidity of internet rating of movies. It had a middle-ish rating on IMDB as the Armenian's were up-voting it and the Turkish were down-voting it. This was well before the movie had been released.

@nepia yeah I just see the headlines and sometimes the byline if it turns up in a search or SM feed.
I avoid reading in detail because I don't want my expectations set. I think it'll be pretty good, because MCU don't tend to piss about with these things.
It'll do well to keep up with Ragnarok, because that was extremely entertaining in a humorous sense, which I dig. But as long as its entertaining in whatever sense, I don't really care.
