Latest Trailer

It's getting heaps of praise, the most negative review I'm able to find is "it's not the best, not the worst."

Apparently they succeeded in making godzilla menacing and scary, akin to the first film.

This review by an odd pair of goofballs is pretty interesting. Their enthusiasm is entertaining at least. 

is not the vibe I get from that at all. But it does look very Japanese so that might be good? 

Japanese ... good !? 

Gives it some character IMO. 

in the context of godzilla, anyway. I think the teaser shot at the end of the trailer title is a bit menacing. It's reminiscent of a snapping turtle opening its mouth to expose the lure.

Also, Japan is pretty much the authority on godzilla. Both american attempts have sucked godzilla balls. 

:)

I saw the start of RoboGeisha this week. That's a crazy sort of p.o.s.

Yah... The Martian was pretty decent. The science-fact side of it was a little thin for me, but , damn, i had to fight back a tear at the end laugh. 

But also saw "White Material". It's a disturbingly believable / realistic film about African rebels turning a white family off their farm. 

was awesome. 

I liked this, but then I also liked the director's other films MUD and TAKE SHELTER, and Michael Shannon is always good at worst and awesome at best.

What on Earth.

I don't even...unde--

Funny thing is that I made my wife watch this with me not too long ago and she enjoyed it. 

OK, not a movie per se but TV series are still film, right? I only watched the first 3 episodes so far but it seems pretty solid, if perhaps a bit less gloomy than Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Special mention to the pilot's opening shot, a pure "Spike Lee joint" moment. Oh, and for people who enjoy a little eye candy, the actress playing Misty Knight has a nice pair of fun bags... ;)

Awesome, I wasn't aware of that. If it's as crazy as the first one, it's gonna be a blast! I love Danny Boyle. 

Awesome series from start to finish!

Nice fan service here and there later on when they go over his origin story in flashbacks.

Love the episode with Method Man playing himself and his Luke Cage Rap.

Also pay attention to the painting of Biggie wearing the crown in Cottonmouth's office. At any given time during the season people who are or will be in power get framed in front of it to make it look like they are wearing the crown. I thought it was a great subtle hint of foreshadowing. 

Yeah, I binge-watched the rest of the show the day after my post and it was a blast! I liked that it addressed the struggles of the afro-american people from slavery to the present day, including the current BLM movement.

Nice fan service here and there later on when they go over his origin story in flashbacks.
I loved the nod to his original costume (something they had already toyed with in Jessica Jones), as well as his reaction when he saw the headband in the reflection of the car glass.

The Method Man episode was great and yes, I noticed the Biggie thing. I'm not especially into black music but I thought the focus on it greatly enhanced the mood of the series.

Some nitpicks: Mike Colter isn't the best of actors when it comes to show emotion. It gives him a cool badass vibe a la Clint Eastwood most of the time but there are some moments when he's a bit lacking, especially one scene in which he's supposed to express sadness and, well, fails.
Some of his fights look a little mundane and don't really translate his strength very well, but that's on the directors rather than him.
Also, after Kingpin and Killgrave, Cottonmouth isn't as charismatic a villain. He's too petty and stupid. Shades is great though.
I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any Jessica Jones cameo but we got a good dose of Night Nurse that made up for it.

High quality film, that dives more deeply into hard science than I expected (which of course was a pleasant surprise). 

stopped the trailer 1/3 of the way through because I knew I wanted to see it.
