For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I haven’t gone to a theater for non-star wars in a decade. Nothing worth seeing.

Garbage that spent more time romanticizing shooting junk than anything else.

"Lets make a movie about junkies wirh a british accent so it appeals to half baked american intellectuals that do drugs!"

Disagree. It doesn't romanticize drugs at all. It is very critical of society as a whole. It is cool though.

And the accents are Scottish.

No shit they are Scottish. It doesnt have the same connotation as British though. In America, if you slap a British accent on something it comes off as something polished and refined. I find the movie low tier drug porn regardless of the accent but no doubt some fellow Americans love it because of its polished and refined "British accent."

WTF Nuke. Classic movie. Brilliantly acted, superb script and the best British director of all time.
Maybe the Scottish accent was difficult to follow and the humour too British for you.
Oh yes the never ending whitty humor that comes from an island that locks up nazi dog owners. Do go on about your humor that I cant seem to fathom.

I have become really jaded about the entire Star Wars franchise ever since Disney bought it. At first, I was kind of happy because you know that Disney will have no problem trying to take out the content that Lucas added in over the years but ever since Rogue One I have become kind of tired of it. Maybe they shouldn't release a new film for about 3 years or so?

I still like Jurassic Park and I saw it yesterday on TV. Man, Jurassic World sucks compared to the original film.

Yeah. There’s still a chance that they keep the off-year ones awesome. Solo will be the one to watch.

Just saw the movie Hostiles. It was in fact not a great movie, but visually its beautiful and that reason alone is reason enough to watch it.
