Worst line I’ve ever heard in a movie right here. And I have seen “The Room.” I would have refused to say this if I were Hemsworth and would have insisted they fire me if they don’t like it.

It’s everything, my man. All of it. The cheeseball CGI, the superstar actors, gaudy costumes, the Tren bodies, the super lame music. Marvel universe stuff is stain on cinema. Comic book based movies aren’t always the worst but these are just bad, and every actor is basically a sell out for taking one of those roles.

Have you seen Mississippi Grind? Great film, just saw it for the first time. Fantastic.

Yeah, I’ve had to sit through the Marvel movies. Even the “good” ones are especially corny, with the characters having time to crack a few jokes in between an event that’s killing hundreds of innocent people. I’ve always read the D.C. graphic novels as a kid. Batman (GOAT) and Superman (Lex Luthor GOAT villain) mostly. “The Death of Superman” and “Batman: Knightfall and Beyond” (the origin story of Bane releasing criminals from Arkham then waiting until Batman has rounded them up, is at the point of total exhaustion, and then confronts him at Wayne Manor before breaking his back) were two that I loved.

D.C. has always been much darker and more geared toward adults with Marvel. If you want to watch a legitimately good comic movie, watch the Zack Snyder cut of “Justice League.” Not that dross that Joss Whedon put out. That was an abomination that he took over in the middle because the studio wouldn’t let Snyder take a leave of absence after his daughter’s death. It’s about a 4-hour running time and touches on something called the Anti-Life Equation which turns Superman evil after Lois Lane dies. This is one of those scenes in the post-apocalyptic hellscape where Superman’s army has eradicated most of the Kryptonite on Earth and the remaining living heroes and The Joker (Jared Leto is objectively good here) are trying to find the last bit of it. Snyder won’t continue so we won’t know where he would have gone with this…

I actually just watched Black Hawk Down. Ridley Scott was on a heater from 2000-2001. If you don’t feel something watching this scene, you’re dead inside. Him talking to a now dead Ruiz with the Hans Zimmer score coming in when he said he will talk to his folks for him when he gets home. That’s bad enough. Then you get the letter from Cpl Jamie Smith to his wife as his name scrolls through the list of deceased. Shit kills me every time.

@Dingleberry have you seen The Iron Claw?

@Dingleberry have you seen The Iron Claw?

Yes. My daughter insisted we go see it in the theater last Christmas.

The Von Erichs were my childhood sports heroes. I watched them die off one by one while following them.

The movie was good. The little guy who played Kerry kind of took me out of it. Good actor, but Kerry was larger than life. Total miscast. And they certainly played loose with facts. Their story is actually more fascinating and more tragic than the movie portrays.

I read the basics about them after the movie and agree, their story was actually even sadder, and interesting, than the movie portrayed.

Jeremy Allen White is a big time actor. He stars in The Bear. But he doesn’t look like or have the energy of an 80s wrestler. I didn’t like any of the casting choices besides maybe Efron in that role (he was okay, not great). I think overall casting was the movie’s weak point.

I disagree, to be honest.

Kerry - I know him as Lip from Shameless. Excellent actor. But no good as Kerry.

Kevin - Efron did a great job.

David - I bought it. He was tall like David and got the cadence of his speech pretty well

Mike - 2nd best portrayal. Mike was shy and awkward. The actor almost nailed it

Fritz - Amazing! Even Kevin and Kerry's kids said they were freaked out when visiting the set. Spot on.

They really should have had Chris Von Erich in there. He killed himself after Mike but before Kerry. His story is the most tragic.

In fact, each member of the family (including Fritz and Doris) could fill its own movie. A 12 episode mini series might capture everything. Crazy, crazy story that the movie only captured the surface.

You’d know better than me since I didn’t follow the actual real life guys.

This was Kevin's story. As the only survivor, it makes sense. I just wanted more development of the other brothers.

If you're ever curious, watch some interviews with them. See what you think. Mike and Dave were good. But Fritz is hilarious. It's almost him.

Holt McCallany is good in Mindhunter.

Oh fuck I love when songs by male vocalists are covered in a dark, creepy tone by female vocalists and placed in a dramatic tv scene. The Penguin just gave me a straight hit right to my vein. It’s almost a fetish. I try to find these all the time but there’s no genre.

Finale of The Penguin was spectacular. Wow. Good enough to day this is now the best series on television.

Severance S2, you’re up next.

@Ice_Ice_Brady I've started watching “Narcos: Mexico.” On the second episode and I can already tell that it’s going to be epic.

Every season of Narcos is awesome
