That's pretty remarkable for a major Hollywood movie.
Maybe because everyone wasn't a special little snowflake back then pushing their political views onto entertainment.
Adding to that while Neo was white, the role was originally for Will Smith but he chose to go with Wild Wild West.

The 3rd is so ridiculous that its fun. Some of the conversations are so dumb that they’re funny. I love that movie.

Just finished watching the last two over the past two nights, great movies, they highway scene in the second holy fuck.
I guess being in my early 20's and when the hype didn't meet my expectations had soured my view on them, but seeing how Hellboy would have been in his early 30's back then he would have had a bit more of a mature outlook.

I watched The Equalizer today, and while I was mildy entertained by it, I'm a little confused (especially given there is a sequel out now)- is Denzel Washington a black Jason Statham now?

It's more of a Liam Neeson thing.

I'm watching The Magicians, I thought it was a drama about magicians but it turns out it's an edgy Harry Potter tv show.
I'm loving it.

Only two episodes in Who is America is easily the funniest tv show I've seen in years, perhaps the best this decade

Is that the edgy show where Ali G tricks politicians and stuff?

Watched first episode last night I'd enjoy it more if it was just presented as a satire instead of trying to pretend that none of the guests are in on it at all.

But the guests aren't in on it. That's the whole point. Those aren't the kind of people who would actually play along with something like this.

Yeah I know that's what they claim but I have a really hard time believing that is all. I'm sure some of them aren't aware but I'm just as sure some are playing along too.

Couldn't say what's in it for them and reasonable chance I'm wrong but I just dont buy it. Keep in mind I only watched that first episode

I watched Infinity War last night and was pretty impressed. I'd give it an 9/10 and a spot in my top 5 marvel flicks. Much better than the previous "Avengers" movies.

“This is the only way”
Yep they totally couldn’t have just cut off his arm when they had him trapped. Or portaled it away. Or trap him in a time loop like Strange did in his first movie. Or just swat Starlord away when he started putting his feelings over the fate of the universe.

Watched it a few nights ago, they pulled off the massive world building over how many films?
So it gets a 10/10 just for that.
But I can only give it 6/10 as I'm still butthurt how they turned Dr Strange into Tony Stark 2.0
Fuck you Disney

Yeah, during that fight scene I came up with a bunch of better plans than "distract him and try and pull the glove off". It was definitely one of the weaker points of the movie.
