Movie review thread...

It reminds me of this gem from the hacked Sony emails:<br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><p>
Spidey thought<br><br>
Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:<br><br>- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.†on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble bragâ€.....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it’s all NBD to him, of course.<br><br>
- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it<br><br>
- Snapchat just launched a “story†functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me†told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.</p></blockquote>

Oh god. That Point Break trailer makes me want to see the movie again, the new one....not so much.<br><br>
Edit. Damn it's not on Netflix.</p></blockquote>

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.<br><br>
Is this nerdy enough for you Nepia?

<p>Michael Hutchence and David Carradine may disagree</p> -
Bodhi said it, so it is right!

<p>Me too...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It came out when I was at uni in Waikato, so it was a movie about utter loser surfers, quoted by guys who spent all their uni time at Raglan surfing, talking about the zen of surfing, before a life working in Pack & Save. That clouded my judgement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And even then a lot of that 80's / 90's looks reeeeeally bad now, I loved Tom Gun, but watching it now its hard not to think "this is without doubt the gayest thing I have ever seen"</p> -
I knew there was something wrong with you
-
<p>none of the surfers I knew wouldnt ever use any of the lines from it, even me as a wannabe surfer didnt use the lines except to wind up my real surfer friends...nice point break, long workable rides.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheesy, but still awesome.</p> -

When? I'm disappointed you felt the need to ask and that you haven't already.. -
<p>Fruitvale Station: This was a great movie. It had been recommended to me a bunch of times but lived up to the hype.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's not a fast paced movie though so if you don't like slow movers this may not be the movie for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you've heard the story:</p>
<p>[spoiler] It's basically just what Oscar does in the day before he gets killed at Fruitvale Station. And then the last 20 odd minutes deals with the incident - it was quite hard watching really [/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The star of the movie is Michael B Jordan, who was Wallace on The Wire and was in Friday Night Lights last few seasons. I think he's the new Denzel.</p> -

<p>I finally saw it last night. I like the series and will probably line-up-and-pay to see the next installment, but it's feeling like it's treading water. 6.5/10 </p> -
