Trailer Catch All

Ya know, Big Summer Movies, you don't all need to feature mass urban devastation in your climax. Your Supermen and your Avengerses probably should, but the rest of you could try something more fitting the scope and scale of your characters.

The scope and scale of Godzilla and the Transformers, right?

You are on the razor's edge of comedy.

Sooooo dissapointed with the majority of this year's summer block busters....

Fury Trailer

Looks fine. I mean it doesn't look bad but it looks like a rather typical war movie. War is gritty, terrible, bad but these people are handsome, cool and brave.

I'm fortunate; the ones I've cared about have so far been quite satisfying. Basically, Godzilla (f*ck YEAH) and X-Men (not great, but very good). I haven't seen How to Train Your Dragon 2 but it seems to be near-universally loved, and what I've heard about Edge of Tomorrow sounds good; I'll watch both on home video. Guardians of the Galaxy is my next highly anticipated release that I will go to theaters to see, and if it lives up to the Marvel cinematic universe pedigree and the promising trailers (I'm optimistic), it won't disappoint me. I don't know how the next Planet of the Apes will be, but I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes and am hopeful this will be a suitable continuation of the story.

There's not really much else in the "summer blockbuster" type of movies that I'm interested in this year.

You need some fun. Go watch Fault in our Stars. That'll cheer you right up.

Missed Godzilla, saw Xmen and enjoyed it, I loved How to Train your Dragon 2. No interest in Edge of Tomorrow. I eagerly await Guardians. It just seems like there is so long of the summer where there is nothing I want to see.

Yah, no thanks, I'm not into chick flicks...

Joke's on you, because it's probably the best summer movie of the bunch, so far at least.

/shrug I can't stand Tom Cruise, neither can my wife.

I was joking, but still, from what I've heard from everybody who has seen it, Fault in our Stars is not really a chick flick. Incredibly sad, yes, but not a chick flick.

Edge of Tomorrow is kind of perfect for people who don't like Tom Cruise, since he starts off as an unrepentant slimeball, and is killed repeatedly, often to great comic effect.

A few more clips of "Transformers: Blow crap up and yell!"

lol then they missed it because of the tears in their eyes. It's SO much a chick flick. It's just on different tangent.

I still shake my head that Michael Bay can get excellent actors like Stanley Tucci and John Turturro in his movies.

I doubt any of them are expecting to win an Oscar for these type of movies, but they're a good paycheck and they're probably having fun as well.

I would imagine any residuals they get paid for DVDs, toys, etc. help calm their misgivings. I bet that Transformers 2 makes John Turturro a lot more money than Fading Gigolo where he got to star, direct and write - even though he probably found that film more fulfilling.

BTW, I am sure you will be shocked to see that T4 is currently getting 24% on Rottentomtoes

Loud, ridiculous and nonsensical — even for a Transformers movie
If the "human scenes" all reek of adolescent dialogue and dopey snark masquerading as character development, it's a toss-up if that's better or worse than seeing clattering collections of caliginous junk
You will feel dumber for having sat through it.
It may be loud and stupid, but at least it's loud and stupid.

I'd rather go see Godzilla yet again.

As Michael Caine said when asked about Jaws: The Revenge

Michael Caine wrote:

I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.

"Sitting through Transformers: Age of Extinction is like binge-watching the death of the human spirit," says critic Devin Faraci! That's a box quote if I ever saw one.

HAHHAHAHAHQHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ok, I'm sold on Twister 2.

So...bad it is good or just bad...?

Well, it made me laugh so it must be entertaining. Not good, just entertaining.
