I'm a huge Chalamet fan but I loathe Bob Dylan's music with the flaming hatred of a thousand suns.

I saw Chalamet sing the Dylan songs on Saturday Night Live last week.  He did an incredible job of sounding like Bob Dylan, and so consequently I despised his renditions as well.

You should not see that (pretty good) movie.

No worries, it's not on the list. 

But Dune Messiah or whatever they're going to call it, definitely is.

So shitty action (and superhero) movies keep getting made because they make the studios LOTS of money, and a huge portion of that pie comes from the international audience.

Good Post,I kept wondering who watches these bad skits that keep getting produced,never realizing why  . Just another segment of American Society that throws the US public to the dogs. I wouldn't have gotten fond of master pieces like Kelly's Heroes/Python's Holy Grail/Caddyshack/Animal House/Stripes/Young Frankenstein/ Planes, Trains & Automobiles/Cheech and Chong/Kingpin......

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

United Artists Film Studio Is Founded (1919)
In 1919, four of the leading figures in Hollywood—Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith, and Douglas Fairbanks—decided to form their own film studio to better control their own work. Though initially successful, United Artists foundered as films became more expensive to produce. It was taken over in the 1950s and began to thrive again until the 80s, when it was bought by the studio MGM.

Eh, I thought it was very well-made, and funny, and entertaining. 

I mean, it's a Deadpool movie.  It's not arthouse or fine literature.

I think Ryan Reynolds is the perfect Deadpool and it's obviously a pet project for him and he puts a hell of a lot into it.

So I guess what I'm saying is you are entitled to your own opinion, but you're also wrong.  Ole~.  Whatever.

Bruh....I said it was enjoyable.  Substitute in the word "entertaining" in case you still think you're disagreeing with me.  

[FearlessF]

he's disagreeable

as you know

I thought Deadpool and Wolverine was enjoyable, but not that "good."  What I mean by that is, I think it got most of its mileage out of the fun cameos and finding yet another way for the multiverse to abuse meaningful story-telling and bring Hugh Jackman back, rather than tell an interesting story with an interesting plot or theme. 

But, I suppose Deadpool movies are more about Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds again, and enjoying the moment, moreso than they're meant to be classes in plot or character development. 

Personally I love movies that break the 4th wall and D&W does it very well

But Dune Messiah or whatever they're going to call it, definitely is.

Herbert's books just don't lend themselves to film.  While they did a much better version this time than the previous attempt, it just doesn't do the book justice.  Too much has to be left out to understand what is going on.

I dont think many realy liked Dylans voice. To understand his popularity you would need to experience the times he lived in.  It wasnt his voice but his message that appealed to his fans.

While I dont share your anti Dylan feelings I can understand it.  I feel the same way about all the "hiphop" performers out there. A thousand burning suns describes my hate feeling towards that type of music.

Last night I watched a YouTube video titled "100 songs that turn 30 years old this year (1995)." 

1995 was high school for me and I recall very well the music I knew back then (not just music I liked).  I was pretty disappointed in myself that I didn't know probably about half of the songs it cycled through.

1995 was a good year

for college football

95, I'd have the grunge and industrial down, but the rap would trip me up. 

I do remember Coolio
