I'm in freakin Aruba and my wife and child want to go sit in a movie theater. WTF.

They really wanted me to go. The only thing I was remotely interested in, is Arrival. I told them, don't be surprised if it's in Dutch or Hispanic. It was normal... but with subtitles. Bhwaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaa

I cared for the movie very little. Ultimately the movie had a hard time explaining the purpose of the visit from the aliens.

It was well done and it is a thinking mans sci-if, but it's convulated with some very high brow concepts about time. Not just language. A slooooooow ass movie. I seriously doubt I revisit this one. I may, just to try again understand the the time thing.

Unless there's a monsoon, we won't be doing that again.

Given how much Passengers reminds me of Red Dwarf (especially from the description), I almost jumped back when you said "it's cold outside" (the first lyric from the RD theme song)

As much as I dug the script, I've heard the movie isn't tha thot.  I'm sure stuff has changed since the draft I read, and adding Lawrence and Pratt definitely meant some rewrites, though I think they're a solid teaming for an idea like this.

I'll probably check this out on Blu-Ray.  I definitely want to drink in the design of the Avalon for sure.  You know what a nerd I am about those kinds of things.

Just saw Avengers Infinity War (Part I).  Huh.  Will hold off on comments until we've all seen it, but... well, I feel like you could have wrapped up the whole thing in an extra ten minutes or so instead of having us wait a whole year.

This was pretty neat, a post-apocalyptic anime, it reminds me a bit of  "Memories" (specifically the "Cannon Fodder" sequence)... and gosh, I love this flick.  And the visual style of it, it's cel-shaded but very "handdrawn," so it looks like a drawing come to life, like the camera can get up and explore a cartoon world.  And I love that.  And the story...

Yeah, see this one.  It should be out on disc or streaming somehow soon.
