Easy until the Final 4.

Easy until the Final 4.

Seeding was kinda difficult in the middle.

 

[Irishnuke]

New Bracket. Get your predictions in.

https://challonge.com/NukesMCU

Probably should have done a 32 seed bracket for all comic book movies. Oh well.

 

[Irishnuke]

FYI the seedings aren't Rotten Tomatoes

Ragnarok and GotG2 marching up in the first round is worst-case scenario for me. They are both in the Final Four if they’re in opposite regions, and GotG2 is the only other film besides Ragnarok that I might consider over Iron Man.

You could easily move GotG2 forward instead of Ragnarok, and it would have won all the ensuing matchups up to the final.

 

[connor_in]

I'm in

Nuke, this is based on your tastes? Ok, we will see how we match up.

GotG2 is ass.

 

[IrishLion]

GotG2 is ass.

Your opinions about the entertainment created by your own company are ass.

GotG2 made me cry legit tears of laughter at one point.

Ragnarok is equally as funny, but more fresh, and also a better conflict/resolution.

Iron Man will always be my favorite, though. Not just because it was the OG, but because bachelor Tony Stark is the best Tony Stark.

 

[ACamp1900]

Every single one of these movies are ass.

Edited for total accuracy...

GotG2 is ass.

You ought to love it then.

Funny, that's one of the only Marvel movies i can stand. I'm admittedly a complete sucker for father son storylines in movies though.

Homecoming over Thor
Iron Man over Iron Man 3

Guardians over Iron Man (upset)
Winter Soldier over Ragnarok
Civil War over Black Panther

Yup. Even though the theme is so overused and cliched, that "Daddy" line at the end is a punch to the gut.

 

[calvegas04]

A quiet place, very very good. If you liked the movie Signs you will like this one

I've heard good things. I really enjoyed "Signs" so I'd be down to see it. Is this theatre worthy?

Some comments were that this movie is so quiet, that if you have a large crowd it gets annoying because you hear so much ambient noise.

I've been on a Clint Eastwood binge lately and am trying to watch all his movies over the next month or so. I've watched A Fist Full Of Dollars and The Outlaw Josey Wales this week and watched the first half of Joe Kidd last night. I'd never seen all of Josey Wales before. Clint has a tendency to shoot some folks.

I love the scene from Fist Full where he tells the coffin maker to get 3 coffins ready, has the "laughing at my mule" discussion with the bad guys, and then has to tell the coffin maker, "My mistake. Four coffins." One of my 10 all-time favorite movie scenes. High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider are up next.

Now we are talking... It baffles my mind that you had never seen all of Josey Wales prior to now. Probably my favorite Eastwood film.

Saw Ready Player One last night. It's perfectly fine; nothing spectacular.

Same here. I thought I'd seen every one of Clint's movies, including JW, but the only bits of it I'd ever seen before were the opening where they killed his family and the scene where he shot the rope to loose the ferry. I really liked it. The old Indian chief was very funny and a great character.

 

[ACamp1900]

Josey Wales is such a good movie...

Switching gears: The Sandlot is getting all this 25th anniversary love from MLB this year and they are polling players as to their fav baseball movie... I have to chalk it up to everyone being prompted to The Sandlot because it seems like 8/10 major leaguers are naming that as their all time fav baseball flick...

I have never seen the obsession with this film. It's not bad, and has some memorable moments/lines but best baseball movie ever? Yeah I don't get that, it wouldn't even be top five for me. It's just another movie really.
