Went and saw The Lone Ranger. I really don't get all the bad press it's receiving. It's certainly not a bad movie, and contrary to the horribly incorrect statements some have made, Tonto is NOT just a sidekick. In fact, the Lone Ranger spends most of the movie trying to learn how to be a badass while Tonto solves most of the problems. And for anyone who thinks that Tonto's appearance and behavior are somehow racist or were the result of the filmmakers not caring about actual Native American culture, they include a highly important scene with the Comanche that demonstrates why Tonto's behavior (like the bird on his head) are what he does.

Pacific Rim.

Robot Jox + Godzilla = Pacific Rim.  If you can imagine that then you probably don't really need to see this film because it's exactly what you can already see in your head.

I'm totally serious btw.  Del Torro is clearly a massive fan of both movies.  One of the "robots" in Pacific Rim even does this exact same thing (at the 1:21 mark):

I think the big thing people have against the film is they didn't actually bother getting a Native American to play Tonto and got Depp to do it instead.

Well, I won't bother to discuss further about how Depp possibly has Cherokee heritage and was formally accepted into the Comanche and given a Native American name.

What I WILL discuss is that it doesn't matter. The important part of casting a role is that the person can actually do the role, not that they have an identical ethnicity to the character. You're not creating a clone of the fictional character. If the person looks the part well enough and can act better than the people of "proper" ethnicity, why would you choose someone inferior? Other than to avoid seeming racist to ignorant people?

Most of the complaining that I've come across about has been from retards who scream about "Tonto" being a whiteman's version of Native Americans, meanwhile ignoring what Tonto actually does. I need to see, I just don't have the money to do so right now.

Like I said, they explain Tonto's weird behavior. It's established that Tonto is NOT how Native Americans act, and the Comanche themselves consider him to essentially be a lunatic. They explain his backstory and why he's part of the plot in the first place: basically, the dude is REALLY mentally scarred.

A couple of hours ago:

Rise of the Guardians.

Most people rail on Dreamworks' animated features (the CG films) for being annoying, soulless and vulgar, and I to a very large degree agree with that. This film, however, represented none of the grating stereotypes of animated features coming from that company. For a great deal of the time, I had a smile on my face. Great job, Dreamworks, for another animated feature after How to Train Your Dragon that left a great number of people (and skeptics) impressed.

Shocker, last night.  Its got its hilarious, over-the-top moments (as is common in every slasher flick ever), but I actually find myself liking it, and the villain.  Oh, he's not sympathetic in the least, but he's actually pretty effective.  Plus, this is its theme, which is pretty damned cool considering it came out of the 80s (89, to be exact, same year I was born!):

RIPD. I was already a bit worried, since it wasn't screened for critics and it got bashed in the reviews.

I can see why. Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds honest to God seemed like they were ad libbing almost all of the dialogue in the film, especially the best lines. There's no way the "Coyote made love to my skull" conversation was in the script. And judging from the expressions they were making at each other, I think I was right.

Also, Ryan Reynolds literally does not change his facial expression through the entire movie. He can emote with his voice somewhat, but that's the only way to tell what his character is thinking at any given time. Dude's funny as shit, but he's a wall.

Pacific Rim.

Ironbite-yeah...

Two important questions:
a) Was the movie mostly about giant robots punching Kaiju as was promised by the trailer?
and
b) Was the movie at least entertaining? (Hint, saying no to a will mean that, no it won't be entertaining.)

I'm not expecting a great movie with interesting characters and a amazing plot from that, but maybe something that might be funny if you turn off your brain before the film starts.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Star Trek: Into Darkness

I couldn't afford to see it at the cinema, and when I found out it wasn't coming out on DVD till September I caved and just watched it online.

I thought it was quite good.

Personally, I think Scotty was a lot better in this one. I didn't like him at all in the first film, because he was just this stereotypical comic relief character with no real personality. He was more like a real person in this one though, so that was good.

I didn't think there was enough Chekov, but can you ever have enough Chekov? I don't think so.
