Silver Linings Playbook is a charming motherfucking movie.

I keep hearing good things but for some reason I can't pull the trigger on actually seeing it in the theater.

[poopoo333]

I loved it.

Speaking of movies, I hear the new Die Hard is a piece of shit.

Yeah, the characters are just fucking adorable. Plus, an actual good performance from Robert DeNiro. I'm so there.

That isn't surprising considering how bad the 4th one was. I mean, I'll still watch it and probably enjoy it, but I'm sure it's bollocks.

I'm just glad they brought the R rating back. I'm sick of all these movies neutering themselves to get dat PG13 money.

I didn't like it either.

Seriously, it was really, really bad. I almost turned it off it was so godawful boring and meandering. It picks up near the end, but it wasn't worth it.

A friend of mine who liked the fourth one quite a bit didn't even like this one. He said one big thing it lacked that all the other films had was a clearly defined and interesting villain.

Personally, I'm trying to figure out where John McClain went from being a regular kind of guy thrust into an extraordinary situation to being a comic book character.

I'm glad you've said that because I've pretty much felt alone in my dislike for the film. I thought the last hour was quite good, but everything up to that point was boring and, I thought, confusing. There are too many characters and locations with little exposition given as to what it all means. I saw it in the theater and seriously thought about walking out.

Pretty sure we've touched on this before, but what's everyone think of Crossfit?

[zY|]

Cult.

Yeah I was reading about it after I posted, and apparently John McClain somewhat plays the sidekick to his son? That sounds awful. And also what you said about him becoming a superhero is one of the main reasons I hated the 4th one. The main reason being the so-unbelievable-I-can't-possibly-suspend-disbelief-no-matter-how-much-I-want-to computer nonsense.


And I feel I was betrayed by rotten tomatoes on zero dark thirty. 92%? The fuck, son? I went back and found your comment about the movie, and I agree 100%. I had to start doing something else and half-ass watching to get through the first hour and a half.

There was an event called the Crossfit Games on ESPN earlier. It was pretty interesting.

Yeah, everything I've heard has been pretty bad. I thought the 4th was a fun enough movie, though not really a Die Hard movie. I'm sure I'll wait for this one to hit the torrent sites.

I know. Almost everyone thinks it's awesome. I just don't get it.

BTW, mark this down as the day you and I agreed on something.

Anyone here been watching House of Cards on Netflix?

[zY|]

Just left WWE Elimination Chamber in New Orleans. BOLZ!!!

[SPX]

Oh yeah, that shit was tonight. . .

You went?
