Godzilla
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Edge of Tomorrow
Guardians of the Galaxy
Captain America 2
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
(which I am not crazy about, but it was well received by most other people)
Snowpiercer (which I have not seen but I have read great reviews of)

And other movies like Divergent and shit that made a few dollars.

Robocop. It was ok.

Interstellar is opening this year and internet pricks are already fellating it.

Snowpiercer looks stupid, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Interstellar sucked when it was called Contact.

Seriously, I have heard predictions that this movie will be a sleeper hit.

Must resist the perfect setup...

But the premise is just sooooooo stupid.

Come on. If you invented a perpetual motion machine, the first thing you'd do is slap that fucker into a train.

A train that runs on a track around a world that has become unlivable and nobody maintains the track.

Perpetual motion maintenance androids. Or ice tracks. The cold continuously refreshes them.

Are you making that up or is that in the story?

I only know one of those things for a fact.

I'm going to bet it's the ice tracks.

No. I mean I only know I made it up. I've got no idea what the movie logic is like.

I think the premise is that life outside the train is impossible, and it has to keep moving for some reason. I think to stay in the sunlight or they all die of cold, because of global warming and Bush and Haliburton.

If your train can keep up with the sun, then the tracks are certainly not made of ice. The friction of going at that speed would melt lead, much less ice.

The train tracks are made from unobtanium, discovered by Dr. William Thompson Friedman MacGuffin.

This guy agrees with me that this was a great year for movies.

...but also for its go-for-broke, oh-so-quotable oddness, which calls to mind films like Big Trouble in Little China and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Unlike those cult favorites, however, everyone gets the jokes that Guardians makes...

Is he calling those other two overly cerebral?

It's relative. Just because a person thinks they are hip and cool doesn't mean they are hip and cool. He thinks if he doesn't get the jokes, no one gets the jokes.

Haven't seen Guardians. I assume HBO is going to get it going before too long. Can always 'Flix it.

Best movie of the year.
