How he has never won an Emmy for Omar Little or Chalky White is explainable to me.

I'm a bad troll...
is there such a thing as a movie that doesn't open with 5-10 minutes of narration and exposition these days?

Recently watched Jack Reacher 2....
Man that movie sucks. I quite enjoyed the first, but this one was just mailed in on all counts. Writing/acting/storytelling, etc etc, I fell asleep near the end and had absolutely no interest in going back and finishing it.

Anyone else anxiously waiting for the new Twin Peaks season? The original series had a really big influence on me, I watched it during Tuesday evenings when it originally aired here maybe 25 years ago. Still the only TV show or movie to give me nightmares, and I even nowadays if I get nightmares they are usually about Bob

I liked them a lot. I like good scifi, I like good history and war films. Good storyline in both.
Manchester by the Sea was also a really good one.

I'm excited for Logan. Really liked the most recent solo Wolverine flick, and the early reviews are pretty good.
That and I'll continue to enjoy super hero movies until they all become Fantastic 4 reboot quality.

I love movies about war and terror.
There's a Trainspotting 2? I need to see that. Also love John Wick, I won't go see either in the theatre but I'll happily watch when I can rent them.

Truth be told, I am tired of Wolverine. Don't get me wrong, I have actually liked most of the Wolverine movies, but it's time for someone else to get some time in the spotlight. That said, I am sure I will download it at some point in time.

I make a point not to watch any award shows, but I did watch Arrival and enjoyed it.
John Wick 2 is definitely on my to-watch list.

It's his last movie anyways.

Stoke me a clipper.
Only two of the noms that really interest me. Will have to see both on the small screen, unfortunately.

I recently started watching the James Bond movies in order of release. Those early ones are really cheesy by today standards, but still pretty enjoyable.

Last one I finished was Gold Finger. I'll probably pick off a couple more this weekend.

I'm excited to reach the new ones, as I have intentionally avoided them with the plan to watch them all in order

Yeah I've watched the new ones, I have a feeling I'll appreciate them more (especially Skyfall) if I'm more familiar with the older ones cause of all the obscure Easter eggs and references.
I'm actually kind of interested in seeing that. The trailers look interesting and it's been getting a lot of great reviews.
Yeah, saw the trailer in the theaters when I watched Split (another great movie), and it looked really intriguing.

You've got no idea how accurate that joke actually is
One theater that has 7 screens. One of those is good (300 people), 2 others ok (150 people), rest are quite bad (60-90 people). I paid 14€ to see Arrival on that smallest screen because it was the only screen it was on. Seats there are so small and uncomfortable that it was like sitting on a local bus during rush hour.

Here we have 2 theaters. 1 that plays first run movies with 10 screens and one that plays second run movies with 8 screens, but the seats in it are ****ing amazing.
