Civil War
1/3 of the way through...- fluffybunny of a justification for the existence of reporters
- To be fair, I've always thought that being a "war-time photographer" is something I'd quite like to do, as a guilty pleasure, not for the gory shit, but just seeing/knowing certain places....
- ... but this just takes it too far. Fuck that shit.
Still watching, but current titwatch is zero, and I don't expect that to change
It's a fucking glorification of the whole "profession" of journalism, and I don't like it.
0 young wannabe-fluffybunnies out of 5 jaded-fluffuy-bunnies.Any moobs ?
Judging by some of the male cast that could be possible.

@Mr-Fish I can see where you're coming from on your reservations. I think the parody and fourth wall breaks are the whole point.
As for the upcoming films in the MCU .... well the fucked themselves a bit and it remains to be seen whether they can manage their way out of it I guess.
Don't get me wrong, enjoy them to a certain point! Think they've been done really well in previous DP films, just felt like this one didn't have much else to offer beyond that.

Fuck - I can't even remember watching that.
I was pretty smashed before I even started... a glorious day of our Mariners thrashing the White-Sox, our Seawolves winning with a late try, and some fairly mixed results by the Pioneers in Major-League-Pickleball.
And multiple breweries on the journey.
I've got zero idea of whether I even watched that movie to completion. I just remember disliking it. Even/especially when it tried to justify/defend itself against my main points of contention. -

@NTA Till now I haven't heard anyone have a positive word about it. The best I'd heard was very meh
Well I saw it, it was great, it's exactly like the first two so if you like that then you should be on board, just with added cameos.
My favourite cameo was X23, really glad they brought her back. Odd that Cable didn't come back for a cameo too. Also odd that Domino wasn't in Deadpools friend group in his timeline.However, if you don't like that shtick then you're likely not going to like it.
Box office seems to be pretty good, likely to hit a billion.

Deadpool & Wolverine
No notes. Would go see again in 20 minutes when the next session starts.
16 LFGs out of 5 Fourth Wall Breaks
watched it last night, a lot of fun and lots of OMG they said that moments, even for a Deadpool movie
interesting they actually introduced some potentially important ideas re the wider MCU in a film lots of kids wont be allowed to see
there have now been 117 uses of FUCK in the MCU....116 in D&W

@Nepia Has Ka Whawhai Tonu been released in Aust?
Watched it today in my own private screening, I was the only one in the cinema.
Thought it was pretty decent, it's no Utu but better than The River Queen and The Convert.

Ok so Deadpool movie watchers..
Loved it although if you haven’t watched any of the Loki series it would be a bit of an extra mind fuck.
Cameos a plenty and movie on a whole not ruined by Disney.However my wife and I were drinking heavily and long story short I had to remove her during the credits before a mess was created lol, can someone with a spoiler let me know what came up post credits?

The credits/post credits were actually quite good. Not sure if you saw all the Fox tribute-y type stuff before leaving?
Post credit scene:
This was Chris Evans as Johnny from F4 saying everything that Deadpool said he did to Professor X's sister before use killed him. -
i watched half or 2/3 of the worst movie i have seen in fucking years on Saturday.
The Hitman
Current guy Glen Powell, and some really hot girl.
I actually don't know what this movie was supposed to be. If it's a comedy, it is not funny. If it is a romantic movie, it's not romantic. It ends up being absolutely nothing.
I don't know what it is supposed to be about, but what it really is about is, people will ignore absolutely every other thing about prospective partner if they are really really hot. I'm spoiling this because you should absolutely not watch this. She thinks he's a contract killer, but fucks him anyway because he looks like Glen Powell. He knows she is the type of person to hire someone to kill her husband, and he fucks her anyway, because she is smoking hot.
There are no tits, just side boob.
I turned it off bored out of my brain. I read the plot synopsis just see if it went anywhere. Where it went is more ridiculous than the bit i watched. Avoid this steaming pile of shit at all costs.

Astonishingly accurate review.
The potential future Mrs MN5 picked it for us and the boy to watch……”bonding” if you will. It looked like something we’d all enjoy from the shorts.
He fucked off into his room after half an hour, I fell asleep.
She apologised for picking a shite movie.
Kind of “light hearted” and you’re right, not one funny moment. Based on a true story apparently.
….and yes, the woman is insanely hot.

same as us! shorts looked good. a movie the family can watch. Mrs Mariner asleep early, youngest fucked off to play playstation. Eldest and i battled on before looking at each other and saying "god this is so fucking bad" at nearly the same time.

its one of the best movies made in the last couple of years.
Just everything about it is perfect. The right amount of nostalgia, the action scenes were basically real aircraft with the actors inside subjected to the stunts and having to act along the way. Minimal CGI was used.
The music is perfect too and it was perfectly cast.
