Excellent Adventure is far better than Bogus Journey.

Excellent Adventure is far better than Bogus Journey.

We do not agree very often.

[BlobVanDam]

Bogus Journey is quite different, but I love it just as much, if not more. I mean, it has robots in it.

[Kotowboy]

It's pretty cool until the end including the Seventh Seal parody.

But Staaaatiiiooon and the good robot Bill and Ted....nah.

It sure does.  How stupid.

You seriously just mentioned the best bits. The Seventh Seal parody is great, Station was awesome, and robots are always cool.


I only deduct points for Steve Vai's noodling.

You're stupid.

[hefdaddy42]

I'm stupid because I think robots in a Bill & Ted sequel is a stupid idea?

[Kotowboy]

Primus is in it . That's cool i guess.

[BlobVanDam]

It's a scifi comedy movie. What makes robots any more stupid than time travel and bringing back Genghis Khan and Abe Lincoln to the present day just for a high school presentation?

[Orbert]

Sure, the robots are stupid, but they're supposed to be stupid.  So that's good.  And bad. 

[King Postwhore]

Not a Robin Williams robot.  He made me cry.

[Kotowboy]

What was Station anyway ? was he just an alien they borrowed from heaven ?

[BlobVanDam]

Not a Robin Williams robot.  He made me cry.

Fuck that movie was awful, and offensive to robotkind. One of the worst robot movies ever.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

THIS MEME COMSTITUTES THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL OF HUMOR, BTW

Both were great movies.  Bogus Journey was one of the single greatest soundtracks ever made.

[King Postwhore]

Maybe we should make a list of robot movies and rate them Blob.

Just seems out of place for me, as it relates to the world established in the first film.

Seems like the first film is about these two idiot characters in the silly situation they are in.  The second film seems like it may have been written by those two idiot characters.

Just my take on the two films.  If you like the second one, then great.  No point arguing about it.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Arguing is what we do, Mr. Poopypants.

[BlobVanDam]

I could probably make a very long list out of that! I'll rate each movie in different categories, such as the robot's desire to conquer the human race, the robot's ability to crush a human skull, the robot's superiority to humanity, etc.


Hef, is there ANY sequel you like?

[faizoff]

I haven't seen the second one at all, it's on my netflix queue.

[hefdaddy42]

Hef, is there ANY sequel you like?

Yes, of course.  The Godfather Pt. 2 is outstanding.

But seriously, I like a lot of sequels.  But it is also true that a lot of sequels suck out loud.

[Kotowboy]

Sequels that do not bring the suck :

Star Trek 2
Termintor 2
Aliens
Back To The Future 2

Matrix 2

[Adami]

Winter Soldier 

To add to your list.

[faizoff]

Count me in as one of the few people that loves the sequel to The Matrix. It's not as good as the first one sure but I still loved it. Even the 3rd one. I know it has flaws, I still love them.

Are you talking about Bicentennial Man, based on the story by Issac Asimov?  That's the only robot movie I can think of with Robin Williams.

[Kotowboy]

When my bro & I watched all 3 Matrix films in one day - we both concluded that Matrix 2 is almost entirely inconsequential and that a few scenes could be put in the 3rd film and you'd not lose much

in story.

Yes Sir!

[Orbert]

I thought the movie was okay, but it certainly didn't to justice to Asimov's story, The Bicentennial Man.  Which is weird because it sticks pretty close to the source, but somehow doesn't work.  Robin was great, and he got the tone right; I just don't think this is the kind of story that translates well to cinema.


Tomorrowland

Interesting movie that seemed like it wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be.  It was definitely sci-fi, with alternate dimensions and sentient robots, but also something like fantasy, and while it starts with a rather pessimistic message and tone, I think by the end we're supposed to be turned around and see the positive outlook.  Unfortunately the ending is a bit weird.  I mean, I can follow what's happening, and the message is definitely supposed to be positive, but I'm not sure if they really got there.

George Clooney is top billed, but that's because he's a big star.  He's second fiddle here.  Hugh Laurie is next billed, but that's because Hugh Laurie is House.

The star of the movie is Britt Robertson, who I'd never heard of before this movie, and her character is a teenaged girl but the actress is 25 so that means it's okay to check her out as she runs around in tight jeans and occassionally wet clothing.  Oops, I'm getting away from the plot.  The plot involves alternate dimensions and sentient robots, and is a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if it had enough meat to keep people's interest for over two hours.  I think it clocked in at 2:10 with credits.  I watched it in two sittings, so it worked.

Me And Earl And The Dying Girl

6/10

[SebastianPratesi]

I just came back from the cinema. A cousin of mine invited me to watch the new Batman/Superman movie. Neither of us liked it. I even fell asleep at one point (I must have been asleep for at least 10 minutes, because when I woke up I couldn't understand what was going on in that scene).

Yep, that's the one. There have been a lot of sucky adaptations of Asimov. One day I'll have to just read the real deal, even though I'm usually not much of a fiction reader.

Yeah, I've not been hearing good things. I will probably skip this one.

Edit: okay, a friend who is a total DC nerd loved it. So maybe I will see it.

Yes, from what I've read, the movie seems to get a lot of good reviews, but also a lot of bad ones. I'm no fan of superhero/action films, so maybe there are lots of things I didn't appreciate which are actually very good for fans. Maybe it is a good superhero movie, but to me it isn't a good movie, if that makes sense.

You know, I once read that opinions are like asses - everyone's got one. If you are into the genre, go check it out and see for yourself. You might like it.

[faizoff]

Re-watched Horrible Bosses, I had forgotten how hilarious this movie was. Worth watching over and over again.
