In contrast to yesterday...

Day 22
Worst remake or reboot

Bad News Bears, without question. I know there are others that are worse, but this mauled a pillar of my youth, and by all accounts, the Billy Bob mess was still a pretty horrid film.
Im betting they were banking on his Bad Santa persona carrying the film, but not realizing that's not at all what the Matthau character was about.

Day 22
Worst remake or reboot

There are probably 422 movies I could name. The most recent was Ghostbusters. I really tried to like the movie, I liked the original, wasn't a super nerd fan of the original like many others, I just thought it was better than ok. I actually was looking forward to a new coat of paint. I saw the mixed reviews and like some people I thought the hate of the movie was just unwarranted because they did not want female leads in the movie.

I gave it a shot and realized the hate of the movie was warranted. The timing was off, there was no chemistry and it seemed thrown together. I do not think I laughed at one thing. I fell asleep the first time through, and had to watch it again. It was not a good movie by any means. I am sorry but that movie sucked hot sweaty nads after a marathon.

I was against it just because Im against remakes in general, but when I saw the the cast saying the hate was men hating women an seriously embellishing the rage, I signed off. Even the trailer, which usually showcases finer points of the movie, was absolutely terrible. I still haven't seen it and probably never will, unless its used as part of my release from captivity.

Day 22
Worst Remake or Reboot

Karate Kid. Trying to remake this classic was utter garbage. Jackie Chan is awesome but he's no Miyagi. I also have no issue with Jaden Smith but he's no Daniel LaRusso either. Just a horrible reboot all around.
"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

The Muppet's.

Honestly to me this just did't feel like the Muppet's of old. I loved the original TV show, and the original movies, except Muppet's from Space. But the reboot was just not on par with the rest of them.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would.

CFLNut and I agree on nothing, clearly.

I'm going to go with It. Everyone's been raving about the new one that recently came out in theaters and I thought it was so-so at best. The original, while usually much maligned vs the novel, was somehow closer to the novel and did a far better job with Pennywise itself. The new Pennywise was far too horrifying in clown form, they messed up Mike's entire arc and the ending was...really, really stupid.

Pacific Rim: Uprising, which I thought was ok. Didn't hold a candle to the first one, Scott Eastwood is one of the worst actors I've ever seen, and some of the story angles were extra dumb. But it did deliver on having giant robots fighting giant monsters and John Boyega is funny, so it was good enough.

Hm, I responded to this but I guess I forgot to actually post it.

So, I've always seen a lot of movies because I prefer the theater. Plus, I have MoviePass, so I just pay the monthly price and get to see a movie a day for no extra cost (I actually just signed my son up for an account too since they have the new user promotion of $6.95/month. He sees plenty of movies too and that'll save me money when he visits and we see movies together. Had to lie about his age though).

So, the last movie I actually spent money on was because I had to buy my girlfriend's ticket, because she does not see many movies, and that was for "Thoroughbreds" (which I'd recommend).

Avengers is two weeks before Deadpool, I think. I think it goes Avengers, Solo, Deadpool, but I may be wrong.

In what should be a surprise to no one, Black Panther. Twice. Although if presales count then Infinity War is also on this list.  :woot:
