Did anyone watch the Royal Rumble? Definitely one of the better PPVs WWE has put on in awhile. Lots of fun surprises and even some fan service with the 2 Rumble winners

Thanks, @Gm0ney , Moon is part of my movie collection. I have seen Ex Machina as well and thought it was very good especially the ending. I'll have to look into Primer, I'd not heard of that one.
Under the Skin (starring Scarlett Johansen) is on Netflix too - one of the strangest sci-fi movies I've seen.

And yes, Primer is pretty confusing. Pay attention! ;)

Yes, I've watched Under the Skin dozens of times... you know, trying to make sense of it. :nod:

Primer sounds like it would make my brain hurt. FAQATT is my fave.

Hey just a quick question. I got my premium seat notification for The Kevin Hart Irresponsible Tour. Has anyone here seen Kevin Hart live or do you know if he is good?

Never seen him live but if I had to guess I think that would be a great show.

I find Kevin Hart to be a terrible comedian, in both film and stand up (videos). Don't see the appeal. Some do like him, but I find him merely annoying.

You see Moon? That's a quiet sci-fi thinker. And more recently Ex Machina (currently on Netflix I believe). Both of those are worth a look if you haven't seen them already. Also "Primer" if you find regular time travel movies too easy to follow...

Moon and Ex Machina are two of the best movies made in the past decade, IMO. Love both of those. I'll look into Primer, never heard of it.

I'm also bad of thinking of movies of the top of my head, but if you're interested in something in a similiar genre of "thinking" sci-fi, try out the series "Black Mirror". It's an anthology show, so each episode has an entirely new cast. Most episodes are 60-90 minutes, all on netflix. I've heard the new show "Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams" is in a similiar vein so I'm anxious to try that out. I love PKD's books, but I'm not sure if the show has any relation.

The Electric Dreams episodes are based on PKD short stories. They're entertaining enough that I keep watching them, but nothing that has made me go, wow what a great story. Maybe they lose something in translation. I have high hopes for Counterpart after watching one episode.

About the Primer/scifi discussion, some other movies that are similar and worth checking out if you haven't:

The Fountain
Coherence
Predestination
Enemy
Gattaca (an old one from the late 90s)

For Primer fans, you should see the equally complex and confusing follow up film from Shane Carruth 'Upstream Color' it is a masterpiece and one of the most thought provoking films I have ever seen.
