What do you think about Seth Rogen and James Franco?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I feel they have a similar problem as Tim Burton has when casting Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter in his films, being they do too much work together to allow them to stand on their own such as with The Interview when compared to Pineapple Express. Rogan also has too much of a tendency to sticking to roles as easy going or stoner characters in most of his work, though does what he does well I guess. Haven't seen much of Franco beyond those two films other than Your Highness, in which I probably preferred his role to that in both PE and The Interview.
Can't say what I think of them as people since I'm not fully informed on their personal lives.

James Franco has a new movie called The Room.

Did you see Sausage-Party?

Did you see Bound 3 with both of them? Better than the original.

Haven't seen it yet, though I hear it's good as long as you have the right mindset what it is when watching it.

Did you see Bound 3 with both of them? Better than the original.

Haven't seen any of them yet.

Bound 3 is a parody of Bound 2. Kanye West's song where he was facking Kim Kardashian in the vid. They recreated the video with themselves. Kanye West blocked the audio for the video though. You can still just play his Bound 2 in another tab and then play their Bound 3 simultaneously and see that. It was funny as fack.

Do you like Team America: World Police?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

One of my favourite comedy films. An excellent satire of action/spy movies, the Thunderbirds TV series and the political/social climate of the early 00s. Almost every scene in the film is pure gold no matter how many times I watch it.

Thoughts on the Spiderman trilogy with Tobey Maguire and on the TASM duology?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

The first Spider Man film is about average. It has some cheesy moments of typical superhero tropes, dumb character moments such as the Green Goblin's last resort (even if it was somewhat accurate to the comics) and some bad acting in some places, but works as endearing dumb fun in those moments of flaws and isn't without it's high points such as good direction and camera work. Spider Man 2 is easily the best of the trilogy due to being far more focused on being a character driven piece such as Peter, Mary Jane and Harry's friendship or Peter's internal struggle of balancing his regular and superhero lives, to the point it can excuse it having the same plot lines as the previous one if viewing it in a summarised manner of Peter struggles with his powers, breaks up with Mary Jane, the villain somehow kills themself and Peter and Mary Jane are together again at the end. If anything, it feels more like a polishing of ideas and does most aspects of it's plot well, though as far as an extension of the narrative in a sequel it's no Empire Strikes Back. Spider Man 3 takes the worst aspects of the previous 2 films and amplifies them, having overly dumb moments like Black Spiderman dancing, not utilising the characters well and being a retread of the structure of the previous two without any new take or polishing of ideas like the second film. The plotline involving Sandman was pointless when it doesn't offer any interesting introspection on the plot point he's part of when it boils down to him not being Uncle Ben's killer anyway and acts as a mid-tier villain who dies towards the climax anyway. His character traits should've just been added to Eddie Brock where possible rather than having an unnecessary character.

The Amazing Spider Man was ultimately forgettable beyond the general consensus that it sucks. Only things I remember were that the Lizard was in it (and looked like ), Peter had too many popular kid qualities and not enough unpopular nerd aspects prior to the Spider bite and the movie stole too many shots from the first film, such as Peter taking a photo of Mary Jane/Gwen Stacie from a distance or the way his first web swing is shot. Haven't even bothered to watch the 2nd one or those part of the MCU like Homecoming.

Spider Man - 5/10
Spider Man 2 - 6.5/10
Spider Man 3 - 2.5/10
The Amazing Spider Man - 2/10

Thoughts on the Matrix trilogy?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Haven't watched anything beyond a few clips from the first one, though from what I know, it's basically a poor man's version of the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie and completely fails during the 3rd film.

 

[GreatSaiyaman123]

Actually it's a really great movie IMO, you should watch it. The two sequences are shit, though.

What do you think about the Skypeia Arc(One piece obviously lol) and more specifically Enel?

No way. I though you meant the DragonBall Skypeia Arc. dawg dawg dawg

What do you think about the Skypeia Arc(One piece obviously lol) and more specifically Enel?

Skypiea was overall a pretty mixed arc. On one side, it was nice to see some of the typical formulas of the previous arcs getting mixed around such as Sanji not fighting the 3rd strongest enemy or Luffy defeating an enemy through a means other than being stronger than them, as well as expanding on the world building through learning more about the history as well as having the introduction of many relevant characters during the events with Jaya such as Blackbeard and Doflamingo. However, it was also filled with a lot of flaws. For instance, if not for the Poneglyph Robin found or the foreshadowing of later events through Enel leaving to the moon, as well as some of the Skypiean technology (which could all have been added at a later point), the arc could've been entirely skippable as it otherwise provides little new for the Straw Hats that couldn't have just been squeezed into the end of the Alabasta Arc, such as receiving vast amounts of gold or the damage done to Merry. Moreover, it feels out of place in terms of escalation to it's successive arc CP9, which in turn reduces the quality of that, since it's hard to view a bunch of assassins as a step up after the previous main threat being a God capable of ravaging entire islands. The fact that being resistant to lightning was also the sole reason Luffy defeated Enel makes their final battle pretty boring since beyond the golden ball and staff Enel used, he had very little to take Luffy on with. At least Crocodile had backup plans when his Logia intangibility got countered. Also, I don't view the build up it has for character introductions or Enel's new plans on the moon as making the arc good, since it's just build up for later events to come, some of which may end up being disappointing. It also didn't help that the arc started slowing down towards the mid and end points, as well as repeating some of OP's cliches such as Zoro taking on the strongest henchman or near enough every known good guy and their mother surviving a battle Enel planned for nobody but him to survive, which doesn't just make everyone seem plot armoured, but also makes Enel incompetent. Because of this, it was the worst arc of One Piece's pre-timeskip material (not counting the pure filler that was the Davy Back fight).

4/10

As for Enel's character, I've already mentioned how plot armour made him incompetent. As for his personality and development, there really isn't much to discuss. He has a decent design and cool powers and works well as the antagonist of the arc, but we really see no aspects or developements to his personality beyond having a typical god complex, even after the events of Skypiea. Until he returns to the plot with hopefully new aspects to his character, I can't rate him any higher than the typical 5/10 at most.

I admit that your placement of Kuririn surprised me. In your opinion, what make him a more badass character than, say, Trunks or Tenshinhan ? Is it the courage he has to try to play his own role despite his weakness, which is indeed an admirable quality ?
