Well, like, the only other movie I saw was Jurassic World and that wasn't even worthwhile enough to add, so.

I've seen a few more 2015 films than I thought I had:

  1. Avengers: Age of Ultron
  2. Inside Out
  3. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
  4. Macbeth
  5. Spectre
  6. Pitch Perfect 2
  7. Ant-Man
  8. Kingsman: The Secret Service
  9. Sicario
  10. Jurassic World

There's still quite a few films that I haven't seen yet from 2015 that I am planning to watch:

Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Hateful Eight, Joy, The Martian, Creed, Beasts of No Nation, Ex Machina, The Good Dinosaur, Chappie
Save the Creme Egg!

I just realized that the director of Moon is David Bowie's son.

Apparently talent runs in the veins of that family.

So Netflix entered Indonesia, finally.

Unfortunately the list of shows and movies still consists of 10% of US's Netflix shows and movies. So, not much.

David Bowie's cameo appearance as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige.

Man, I really love that movie, very smart and well-thought, but by the end I've lost track of the plot and just sit there thinking, "So who is who, which one is the one who- eh, whatever."

Alan Rickman dying was a punch right in my childhood :( I get depressed just thinking about it, and that's rare for celebrities for me.

Freaking David Bowie deserves a mention, too, since he was also an actor. And I JUST because a fan of his music with his new album and he freaking dies like 2 days later. Like holy shit my luck.

I saw it a long time ago, so I barely remember it, but yeah, I have. I don't remember being a fan back then, but I'm a much different person than when I saw it at probably like 13.

Also, they announced a remake of said movie :( . Whyyyyyyy? ESPECIALLY why do you remake a beloved classic? That's just asking for trouble.

Anyone looking forward to the ben 10 reboot?


Anyone here know anyone from FARGO who was in Jurassic World? Peter Stormare was in Lost World and William H Macy was in Jurassic Park 3. Did they uphold the tradition?

I'm about to watch the first episode of Legends of Tomorrow on The CW's website. Hopefully this is good 'cuz I've been looking forward to it for months.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

I have no idea why they would remake that. Seems like an odd choice to me, though it'll probably do good at the box office if they don't change it too much... the reason remakes like Total Recall and Point Break failed is that the originals were R-rated, and the remakes didn't stick to that. So going the other way with Labyrinth and trying to make it edgier for today's "more sophisticated youth" is going to turn a lot of people off, if they do choose to go that route.

Better yet, not remaking it at all. Especially a beloved classic...

I mean, remakes CAN be better than the originals. But most of the time? No...

Hollywood needs to stop remaking things and be original.

Do YouTube "shows" count as "Shows" enough for me to talk about them on here? Because right now it's really depressing me how it appears that one of my favorite channels to just pass the time on, The Fine Brothers, appear to have officially proven themselves to be corporate douche bags with them trying to "Copyright" the word "React", pretty much giving them the rights to take down any video with "React" in it. Sad to see that even in the industry of YouTube, things are getting pretty freaking shady.

Edit: Well, maybe not copyright, but trademark. Not the same thing, but its looking pretty shady.

Watched the first episode of second series of Better Call Saul last night; looks to be carrying on from where the first series left off in terms of quality- hopefully they can keep it up.
