  1. I thought the film was way better than the trailers, but after watching it, I can see why it really didn't do that well. The cast was riffing off each other and in between that you had the stuff with the ghosts. If you take away the obligatory cameos and the name, it's basically four women and Thor do a long skit with some CGI thrown in. I wasn't very invested in the plot. It was a fine comedy movie, but at no point did you feel like this is a license to print money.

    I was watching Rocky on TV the other night. It reminded me of an argument I had with my (late) dad who was an ex-boxer and adored this film. It was about the ending.

    *Me* "You know, this is a romantic film, right? Not a sports film."  

    *Him* "What are you talking about? Of course it's a sports film. It's about boxing." 

    *Me* "No, it's a romance. The final seconds make it clear. Because Rocky lost the fight in the end...and he didn't give a fuck. He never even paid attention to the announcement of Apollo's win. He just cared about Adrian. The match meant nothing. Not really. Love did."  

    *Him* "Why am I paying for you to take all these bullshit college film classes?"

     

     

     

    There is a Japanese film called 100 Yen Love (which I recommend) that's as much about boxing as the original Rocky film. Hell, you probably would think it's a romance film but it's far from that too. That is made very clear early on, and that's why I suggest you steer clear of the reviews. However, it is one of my favorite films of the last five years or so.

  3. Saying you're streaming the fights is fine (much like some random person said in the Brock Lesnar thread IIRC). However, announcing where you are viewing the illegal content is where we veer into something else.

    Even though Kodi itself is perfectly legal, we still have to be a bit careful. Hence, why I didn't actually answer Chester's other question. I just didn't want a back-and-forth to develop where more information is divulged pertaining to the streaming.

  4. Finally got around to The Purge: Election Year. Now I had heard beforehand that they managed to sneak in some buffoonery, but I had to see it for myself. Candy girl I didn't mind as much because she's just a really shitty actress delivering really shitty lines. Now, ole Bubba "Soup coolers" Blue I do have a problem with.

    He did the buck eyes and everything. Goddamn. I gotta believe that Mykelti Williamson's life mission is to play a slave in every movie.
