    Not sure where you got that idea. Firstly I gave the movie an average rating, and secondly the reason I did that is because of all the stuff that happened in the first hour of the thing, not the first five minutes. Sillyhead.

    I love old movies and have seen a very great deal of them, my dear! Casablanca is one of my all time faves.

    Hahaha you're gonna try to teach Pike about old movies? You do know that she's got a degree in that stuff, right?

    Also sorry but Star Trek: The Motion Picture is 5/5 breddy good all dose incredibly long special effects shots that lovingly show the Enterprise are so great. Random Klingons for no reason and have nothing to do with anything? Check. AI that can't comprehend flesh-based life? Check. Kirk is kind of a jerk? Check.

    Only thing missing were Lts. Arex and M'ress. And it's not like they can't Caitian in live action, there's a Caitian Admiral in The Voyage Home. Arex would be more of a challenge though I grant you.

    I watched The Avengers last night on Netflix. Good movie, overall!

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Because you complained about it and then later said the derping lowered the score, I figured you considered the musical intro a part of the derping.

    That's great. You seemed totally thrown for a loop by the music introduction. Ever seen Lawrence of Arabia? 2001: A Space Odyssey?

    The last movie I watched was The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

    My wife (watching it for the first time) felt that it was so cliche-ridden (largely by the cliches it created in the first place) that it should have been called The Good, The Bad, and The Obvious.

    I've also watched a Korean movie called The Good, The Bad, and the Weird, which was far less anti-war and serious, and a lot more ridiculous.

    Anyway, obviously a great movie, I still don't actually enjoy it as much as a Fistful of Dollars, though.

    The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly wasn't cliche for its time. If you can separate it from the rest of the cliches (that it created, as you say), it's great.

    Star Trek: The Search for Spock

    Of the three 'bad' TOS Trek movies this is the best one I'd say. The overall plot is pretty daft and features the usual array of Vulcan Superpowers but the thing is actually pretty well executed and Shatner and Kelley especially both had a good deal of screen time that let them show some acting chops.

    I can never see Christopher Lloyd as anyone except Doc Brown though so that was a thing.

    I saw The Addams Family first so I only ever think of him as Lester.

    Christopher Lloyd was also Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but you couldn't really tell it's him just by appearance.

    1.21 gigawatts?!

    Christopher Lloyd has really had a lot of iconic roles when you think about it. But Doc Brown is definitely the most so.

    Basically all of this. Gonna give it a 4/5. Also Vulcans please, all your crazy mysticism ritual stuff is not logical.

    IV tonight my favorite one!

    Cabin in the Woods
    7/10

    A pretty good movie. Pretty hokey, but I expected that going in. I kept going "what the smurf" when weird trout kept happening that didn't make sense, but that is apparently what Joss Whedon wanted to happen. (SPOILER)I really, really enjoyed getting to see the army of nightmares. All of that trout was so neat, and the graphics and animation was so well done. It wasn't the best movie, but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the weird twist to it and I enjoyed the ending. (SPOILER)I like it when directors break away from the fairytale ending where everything all goes the right way and it ends up smoothly and the guy gets the girl and everyone lives happily ever after. I like creative thinking, and I like alternate scenarios in which everything doesn't go right for once.
