He also yelled out what the nod to the upcoming movie was during the post credits scene (OH!!!!! THATS ***** , YOU GUYS!) . Is this acceptable behavior in a theater? I say no.

    Opening night crowds for super hero films are... interesting. I've joked with my friend who chases down child predators that they should just park a van there.

    On that note, one of the unintentionally funniest things I've ever seen in a theater happened at the first Avengers movie.

    We were there opening night, we sat behind two adult men who were obviously very hardcore fans. Think Comic Book Guy from the Simpson's. They were REALLY into it the whole time.

    Near the end of the movie as you'll recall, Loki a demi-god from a distant planet has opened a hole in space and the earth is under attack by aliens. Billionaire super hero Iron Man directs a nuclear bomb up into the hole in space which blows up the mothership and closes the hole killing all the aliens. The Avengers look to the sky in horror as they watch an unconscious Iron Man plummet to the ground. Right before he hits the ground, the Incredible Hulk jumps up and catches him and slows his fall to the ground by dragging down the side of some buildings.

    Disgusted by the physics of that act (dragging down a building to stop Iron Man's fall), Comic Book Guy #1 leans over to Comic Book Guy #2 and says, "Pffft, like that could even happen."

    They were okay with everything I said up to that point and then it was like, "Yeah Marvel, you've gone too far..."

    I was in tears I was laughing so hard.

    We watched "I, Tonya" on Netflix Saturday night. It was surprisingly good. I ended up feeling sorry for Tonya Harding. Supremely talented woman, tough life, got few breaks, and was let down by just about everyone she depended on. Also surrounded by a lot of fools.

    We watched the latest Avengers movie Friday night. All I can say is that if you have not watched all the prior Avengers movies, you won’t understand much of this movie. It was clearly very well done, but I was looking at my watch after 30 minutes.

    Saw Solo. I had really low expectations based on the last Star Wars movie. I was very pleasantly surprised the whole way through. I enjoyed it a lot.

    I liked it too. Certainly better than The Last Jedi.

    "I know! After the rebels blew up our first and second Death Star, let's make another BIGGER one, with similar vulnerabilities." I could however excuse the Force Awakens because it was a reboot of sorts of the franchise and an attempt to capture the old feel (although I agree with what you said).

    Rogue One however I thought was excellent, in fact it might be my favorite Star Wars movie.

    One clear indicator of how the fanboys think about this though is to look at them generationally. If you ask young people which is better of the series, the original or the prequels, they'll say the prequels. If you ask someone in their 40s or older they'll say the originals. The painful fact for most though is that Star Wars has always suffered from poor acting and annoying characters. C3PO = Jar Jar Binks. Luke whining, "You want the impossible!" = Anakin Skywalker, "From my point of view the Jedi are evil."

    If you look at the negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes from the audience (and even the professional critics) it is mostly coming from the fanboys, and people who are upset because their apple cart has been upset. If (the global) you are a passive 'fan' like me, you'll enjoy Solo I think.

    The funny thing is we were trying to see the new Avengers movie but got to the theater too late and had to settle for Solo. The Last Jedi was sooooo bad we didn’t intend to see Solo Glad we did!

    Mission Impossible Fallout - good movie, not great. They could have cut 45 minutes out of this movie and it would have been better.

    Anybody who has kids who have made it thru eighth grade, or made it thru themselves, will love that movie. It is pitch perfect. A wonderful, wonderful movie.

    Widows - sort of a mystery, thriller, heist flick. I think I read where it is based off of a British TV show from the 70's.

    If you can get through the first half of this movie setting up the story (which is a little slow), it has a very good second half. Rotten Tomatoes had it at 91%

    Just watched “Tiinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy“ last night. Loved it. Gary Oldman is always a pleasure to watch.

    After some serious super hero movie fatigue I took my son and his friends go see, "Into the Spider-verse" last night. The artwork and visuals are unbelievably great and the movie is just pure fun. I would call it "joyous". Might even be my favorite movie of the year.

    yea, that was a nice twist on Spiderman, I also liked it. It was odd, my wife and I went into that movie and felt like we were the oldest people in the theater. Conversely, we watched Clint Eastwood's the Mule this past week and felt like we were the youngest people there. The Mule is pretty good, but very slow. Its easily one of those movies you can wait till it comes out on DVD.

    The Basis of Sex was an outstanding movie. It was good to see a lawyer do something admirable. Most of my association with lawyers has been a couple of you clowns on this forum.

    Cold Pursuit - vigilante Liam Neeson takes revenge on his sons death. I liked it, but this movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Couple of times, my wife and I looked at each other puzzled by what we were watching. The final scene was funny, but bizarre. Takes place in Colorado and the Ute Indian tribe plays a prominent role in the films resolution.

    The original, In Order of Disappearance was great. But then I love anything that Stellan Skarsgard is in, even with subtitles.

    Watched “Glass” over the weekend. Was much better than I expected. A superhero movie without all the over-the-top powers and skills.

    We loved it too. I'm telling all my friends about it too.

    Saw "Captain Marvel" Saturday and really enjoyed it, very well done (although as usual in Marvel movies one must overlook the plot holes).

    I don't plan to see the latest Avengers movie yet because I've only seen the most recent one and it made little sense to me because I hadn't seen all the earlier ones. That will probably take me a year or so....

    You could have gone to Megaplex last weekend. They showed every movie in a row over two days. Would have saved you time.
