NFL Training Camp/Preseason Thread 2012 - A Farewell to snes :(

Insane. I was bored for the entire first hour of The Avengers. Once it finally got rolling it was fun but the buildup was ridiculously long.

I was sucked into TDKR from the opening scene.

I saw both movies twice and while I was still into TDKR on the second viewing I played on my phone until the real action on the airship started in Avengers.

Really? TDKR dragged on soooooo damn bad. Avengers was just a more entertaining movie that didnt try to hide what it was. One of the best damn summer action popcorn movies ever. Just so many memorable scenes:

SPOILER alert for you anal "Wha wha I havent seen it yet" bastards!

Well if Squicken is on the 49ers bandwagon then it's all but confirmed that they are going to crash and burn this season. The only thing that might save them is that babby's first NFL season of a schedule.

GAF really hates everything.

I hate Internet reviews. So many hacks trying to pretend they have something to say.

I am not any better. I shit on most modern games and say it was better in my day (it was)!

The Dark Knight was terrible, Heath Ledger sucked at everything and Christian Bale is fucking garbage (as batman). Give me Burton and Keaton and day of the week. Christopher Nolan should have stopped making movies after the Prestige since he will never top it and just tarnishes his reputation with every subsequent movie.

well at least you're right about prestige being awesome, other than that plain wrong mister. there wont be another batman trilogy that tops nolans. if it does holy fuck i dont think my body could handle the awesome, i'll welcome any challengers though
 
Eh, I'm going to do the unpopular thing and say that I liked both the Avengers and TDKR. (BUT THIS IS THE INTERNET, YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE AND DEFEND TO THE DEATH, BRO!)

I think Whedon did a good job creating the perfect summer popcorn flick. Just shut the mind down for the two hours and take in the pretty colors, loud noises, and random one-liners.

And as for Rises, it was a huge movie. Ambitious, a bit overly ambitious, in its scope, it was no where near as tightly done as Nolan's other movies. In fact it was a bit of a mess at times. If you went in expecting TDKR to be the greatest work of art in modern cinema history, of course you would be disappointed. But I liked it for what it was, a solid ending to a good movie trilogy.

GAF is the place where politics, religion, and social issues are things you mock but videogames, porn, cartoons, and superhero movies ARE DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS TOPICS.

Hmmm, I probably should have sped up the frames a bit on that first gif.

i liked both as well. and yeah i hate how the internet is pick 1 or die mentality. also mark buffalo played hulk so well and that hulk smash was epic
 
Avengers and tdkr were both good movies. I love all things batman but if I'm being honest with myself avengers was the better movie

P.s.

I approve of all the new niner fans! WE ARE THE 49ERS! WE ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING AND WE ARE ALWAYS EXCITING!
 
I liked both as well. The only movie that I've seen recently that I thought was complete shit was The Grey.

Yes, that movie fucking sucked.

Ending of the Grey spoiler

Don't go show me the exact ending in the trailer motherfuckers! Teasing me with the wolf fight to just end it there, fucking horrible.

Yes. Porn "actresses" and "actors" are valued members of society, equal to doctors, firefighters and engineers. Or haven't you heard from literally every porn thread, ever on GAF?

neckbeard virgins got that shit on lockdown. know names of 10k porn stars and rank them by height, tits, ass, birthmarks, labia look and std count shit cray

Never really ventured into the porno threads before.

:lol @ that viewpoint though.

I love you guys.

I like TDKR, Avengers, AND The Prestige.

It's Dicaprio I don't like.

I like DiCaprio. He was great in This Boys Life, which came out prior to Gilbert's Grape. It's my favorite movie of his. The tension between him and De Niro in that film was great.

I'm not trying to change your mind, but his stuff as a kid was pretty good.

I just think his range sucks. Unless he's playing a boyish charmer or a punk (aka, most of his earlier roles) cannot buy him at all. A grizzled, frayed cop in the Departed? A badass jewel smuggler in Blood Diamond? Ahhahaahaha, no. Even in Inception he was hard to swallow.

The Basketball Diaries is so good

Damn, I forgot about this movie. I'm going to have to watch it again.

I didn't see Blood Diamond, but I can see what you are getting at. He definitely excels at parts where he is more charismatic rather than powerful. If that makes sense. Catch Me If You Can is a good example, so is Gangs of New York. It's part of the reason why I'm excited to see Django Unchained. In short I would agree that certain roles don't fit him well.

I remember seeing that in the 90s and thinking he really was retarded/autistic until I saw him in some other movie. I was only like 10 when the movie came out, probably saw it a few years after that since I saw it on HBO.

Regardless, blew my mind that it was him.
