Website that called everyone man-babies and neck-beards and basement dwellers for pushing social and gender politics into beloved franchises just got a massive dose and showed their true colours And one for luck... Oh Anita....

I read in an article that the biggest difference between Marvel and DC is that Marvel pays more attention to the 'human'/origin side of the superhero. I was like, 'What?!' Marvel movies are mostly brainless action movies. DC has origin movies like Wonderwoman ... where does Batman fit into that idea? he's a human, a young orphan, rich cause his parents got murdered.

I've rewatched some alien invasion movies.
First I watched World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles. I don't get why it gets bad reviews. I like that movie. Is it a war movie or a sci fi movie? IT IS BOTH!!
Second I watched Edge of tomorrow (Live, die, repeat) which is an absolute awesome movie!!!
Third I watched Battleship. Again, bad reviews. Don't know why. It is visually stunning and really fun to watch. It never bores..
Yesterday I watched Terminator Genisys. I've seen this movie maybe 3-4 times before but it still blew me away. Best Terminator after T2.
There's a fucking heat wave in Belgium, I don't have anything else to do. I'm not going outside in this heat.

If you like alien movies that get bad reviews but are quite good the watch The Rendlesham UFO Incident. It's found footage, really well done for a budget movie.

So as the heat continuous, I continue watching my blu-rays. I rewatched Black Hawk Down. Still the best war movie ever. You are in the middle of it all. It's not just: 'there is the enemy, let's all shoot in the same direction'. No, the enemy isn't just there, the enemy is everywhere. The soldiers are among the enemy and the enemy is among the soldiers. Awesome!!
After that it was time for the crittically acclaimed Tears of the sun. Ok, maybe too much Hollywood but that doesn't stop me from loving it. I especially love to see the LT struggle between his orders and what his heart tells him. Awesome movie with lots of emotion, fuck the haters.

Today was a glorious day to watch movies. This morning I started with 300. I think it was one of the first movies to use the fast/slow motion effects. Great movie and spectacuiar effects. Very enjoyable from beginning to end. Lots of six-packs and manboobs though. Afterwards I rewatched Clash of the titans. Liam Neeson is very good as Zeus. The guy that plays Hannibal in the series has a role in it. The movie gets bad reviews but I really enjoy it. I like Greek mythology and the visuals are great. The 'extras' made me watch the movie in a different way. It's like Lord of the rings. There's not too much CGI. Ofcourse the monsters are CGI but most of the scenery is real and all the costumes are real (not CGI drawn on like the hobbit). I like it a lot. Then there was Tremors: A cold day in hell. If this movie was released 20 years ago, I'd love it. Now it looks like a cheap B-movie ... which it probably is. I don't regret watching it because it was given to me by a pirate and it didn't cost me anything. It was fun to relive my youth but as I said the movie came 20 years late. Lastly I watched Hangar 10 because Alan-P recomended it. This movie gets bad reviews because ... it is BAD! Oh Alan what did you make me watch? It's like The Blair Witch but with aliens. BORING from start to finish. I watched most of it on double speed.

Swiss Army Man. What the fuck is up with this movie? Very strange. This guy is stranded on an island and then just as he's about to hang himself, Harry Potter's corpse washes up on shore and he makes friends with the dead body. This corpse has all kinds of magic powers though, like the main dude uses it as a jet ski, a water well, his hard cock is like a compass etc. Lots of surprises. Soundtrack is hilarious and original. As weird as it sounds, it gets even weirder.

the heatwave is officially over but it is still scorching hot out there. Fucking weathermen don't know shit. Anyway movietime:
I started my day with Godzilla. Story not the strongest but it is a huge monster so who cares about the story? I love it.
Second was Pacific Rim (the firstone, I haven't seen the second one yet). Story not the strongest but it is a huge monster so who cares about the story? I love it.
Third was Kong: Skull Island. Story not the strongest but it is a huge monster so who cares about the story? I love it.

Is there a difference in quality between streaming and Blu-ray these days?

Is there a difference in quality between streaming and Blu-ray these days? Audio And it really depends on your internet speed and how many people are using it at the same time.

Been burning through most of the Phase 2 Marvel movies a couple of years after the fact. I enjoyed them. I think I just needed this break from all of the superhero stuff.

Mission Impossible Fallout Pretty good How would you rate Henry Cavill's performance? I can't decide if I liked it. Otherwise, that movie was titties.

ParaNorman
Got a few delighted laughs out of this now, but I feel they could have revelled even more in its "freakishness" before the mandatory normal ending.

I once watched that movie a few years ago after staying awake for 32 hours. It felt like a half-forgotten dream, even while it was still running.
