Anyone watch the new Cloverfield film that Netflix released after the Superbowl? I thought it started out decent enough but lost focus towards the end. I was expecting more horror elements like Event Horizon and it didn't really deliver. Best part of the film was the cast. Solid all around.

Finally got my Black Panther tickets for the 22nd and am so glad most theaters around me have switched from 3D showings to 2D showings. Gonna see it at the Lincoln Sq IMAX theater :slayer:.

I'll be avoiding this thread, blogs, FB, and Twitter once the 15th/16th hits :laugh:.

^ I have a bad feeling about this

I'm sure the usual posters will hate it.

What I meant is that there is an incredible amount of hype and expectation and promotion for this movie and I feel like fans are being set up for a possible letdown. People want it to succeed and maybe it will be that good. But it is also possible that people are just pretending it is good because that is what they want. We wont know until we see it.

I certainly hope it is good, so I guess I am part of the problem.

Exactly my thoughts on it as well. Especially the part about hoping it will be good.

So this really happened. Yep. This is/was real:

As you can imagine, she took it down from her twitter feed but the discussion in her feed is pretty funny.
The screen cap was posted in her own thread announcing that she took down the post: https://twitter.com/elakdawalla/status/963084888176967680 which has some of the conversation. There is more, of course.

I read it. Best part was the pic of Jesus saying that it may be time for another flood.

That's not even the original - saw a post on Twitter pop up last year in the summer about whether or not white people should see BP on opening weekend, or just leave it to african-american's to revel. Ran it by some black friends - they thought it was condescending as hell
