What was the last movie you've seen?

People can be so literal sometimes.

The expression is a literal one. What do you expect? What even is your post?

So I finally got around to seeing Blue Jasmine today. I thought it was a really great movie, one of the better Woody Allen films from the past decade.

"I couldn't care less," could only be represented by zero on that scale..

This is fun, but yeah, it is a movie thread.

*Steps on scale and finds out weight is 190 and not 185* "Eh, I could care less".

Iron Man 3

I did not really like this one too much. I hated how much of a badass Tony Stark was, even without the suit he is doing stupid crazy shit, saving the day, takes away from the feeling in the first movie where he was a 'normal' guy, but a badass with the suit.

The icing on the cake though was that shitty 'robot iron man' ending with all the 'iron men' saving the day. Makes it feel like there is nothing special about being Iron Man at all.

Can't word it right, but did not like it.

How is being a billionaire, playboy, genius, weapons designer being a 'normal' guy?

But yeah, I too felt it was the weakest of the 3 IM movies.

The reason I put the word normal in quotation marks.

Other than his money he is as just as physically vulnerable outside of his suit as everyone else (if not more due to his heart), he was not a super hero outside it. However in IM3, he was doing some crazy bullshit without it.

EDIT: That sense of vulnerability is also lost with this 'hail a suit' thing.

I watched The Killer, the 1989 John Woo film starring Chow Yun-fat. This action film was greatly inspiring to the early 90s action crowd and marks the beginning of some of Woo's most famous inclusions (lots and lots of doves, lots and lots of jumping while firing two pistols). The plot is overly melodramatic at times, so I have to criticize it here, but this film includes some fine action sequences. The house shoot-out where the Triads in painter uniforms storm the building? Magnificent! And there are bodies flying everywhere in the explosive (but overly melodramatic) ending.

But I can't help but feel that John Woo surpassed this film in every way with 1992's Hard Boiled. The plot is less melodramatic, the action more intense, and the acting is superb. So...look, if you're going to watch these movies, watch The Killer first and then Hard Boiled.

Tropic Thunder
I'll have to take back my opinion that Napoleon Dynamite was the last decent comedy film. I got plenty of laughs out of this one. A combination of two of my favorite actors (Jack Black and Downy Jr.) plus plenty of parodies and references to classic movies that aren't Star Wars or The Godfather made for a good time.
