He's getting shredded here in Austin. Even though everyone agrees texting in a movie is bad, the suing part seems to be over the line for most (if you listen to talk radio). I will say though that his publicity stunt worked. He's made national news and I think may have even been on Jimmy Kimmel show.

The local Austin founded theater chain Alamo Draft House (which is famously anti-texting during movies and has funny intros about it before all their movies saying you will be kicked out if you do it) has offered to give him a gift certificate for the $17.61 he sued for if he will drop the lawsuit.

In another paean to the power of music [much in line with my conviction that the entire Star Wars universe owes a deep debt to John Williams], I submit a good chunk of the positive vibes about the movie, the popularity of Groot, and the anticipation of the sequel is explained in a 1 crucial minute

I still listen to their bandstand performance at least once a week for a pick-me-up. Usually does a better job than coffee.

I am so in the minority when it comes to Marvel films.

I purchased GOtG2 the week it was released digitally and finally got around to watching it last night.

Meh.

I stopped purchasing these films on DVD/Blu Ray after the disaster that was Iron Man 2 and The Avengers but gave in on this film.

I’m just going to wait until these films are on Netflix/the Disney app because outside of Spider-Man Homecoming and the first GotG, I just don’t connect with these films.

What didn't you like about The Avengers?

Those were my two favourite MCU films until watching Black Panther a few days ago. Try that one.

I didnt think GotG2 was all that great either. ok, but not near as good as the first.

SpiderMan Homecoming was superb though. Same with Thor Ragnorok.

Everything?

I thought the dialog was clunky, the camera angles weird and that RDJ was soooooooooo much more charismatic than anyone he shared the screen with that it was distracting. It literally took me like 5 nights to get through the movie.

Again, I know that I'm in the minority and I'm certainly not telling anyone else to how feel/react to these films. Outside of a few (and I forgot to add Ant-Man, which I really liked the first couple of times I saw it but began to wear on me over multiple viewings), I just can't connect with them.

Maybe it's because I didn't grow up reading the comics or watching the animated series?

Thor 2 was so awful that I had no desire to see Ragnorok, although I like Taika.

I'll be sure to catch it on Netflix, as well as Black Panther.

Will do. Thanks!

I'm kind of the same way. I see many of them, but I rarely enjoy them. I'll have to give Spiderman Homecoming (and Black Panther) a try. I liked the first GotG, Ant Man and Deadpool, but I'm meh about most of the others. Too much action and not enough story, for me, I think.

Thanks. I was just curious.

Winter Soldier is by far n away the best mcu movie thus far.

I hope Infinity War kicks ass....it better, theyve invested a decades worth of films and careers to lead up to this very moment in the mcu.

I didn't read them either and I dig their stuff. It's getting harder for me to get it all as busy as I am, but I rarely don't enjoy a film.

Although it's fairly obvious you and I are wired differently when it comes to movies :D

Have you caught Winter Soldier? It's a pretty good movie outside of the universe. As long as you've seen the first Captain America, it's a good watch.

Quoted, only because I'm certain this is a first

LMAO
