Big Blue 06 195 Posted January 1, 2019 that movie was one of the dumbest things I have ever watched in my life. I wish I wore a blindfold thru the whole thing I read the book and enjoyed it. Not great, but decent. Havent seen the movie yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EternalShinyAndChrome 2,430 Posted January 1, 2019 So this movie is basically a rip-off of A Quiet Place, except you can't look instead of can't make any sounds, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,805 Posted January 1, 2019 So this movie is basically a rip-off of A Quiet Place, except you can't look instead of can't make any sounds, right?The book Bird Box came out four years before A Quiet Place. I thought AQP was a rip-off of Bird Box. I read the book. It was okay, not great. Movie looks dumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,311 Posted January 1, 2019 My daughter wanted me to watch it with her this past weekend. Thought it had potential but I don't even understand what the point was? What was it? It made leaves fly around but what the fock was it? I don't get it. A waste of two hours but I didn't tell her that. Did you like it, dad? Uhh, yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,805 Posted January 1, 2019 The best book I read from that year was The Troop by Nick Cutter. Sort of reminded me of Stephen King writing a cross between Lord of the Flies and an infection / body horror story. It was so gross I winced while reading it a few times. Much better than Bird Box.

Uhh, yeah. yah I kept waiting from the smoke monster from Lost, and then it gets to the end and was like oh magic her doctor is there would be much better, if it was because she was all jacked up in the head, she created this world, her art was odd, and she never left the house, and thought that was her reasoning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted January 2, 2019 Watched it with my GF. Our experience turned into a Mystery Science Theater episode of our own. That movie was bad, but we entertained ourselves through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,050 Posted January 2, 2019 One thing's for certain, though. Sandra Bullock looks great for a woman on her 50s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely agree with any of your posts 100%, but this is spot on. The Troop was great and definitely had a King vibe. Far superior to Bird Box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiPolarBear 476 Posted January 2, 2019 I kept putting Bird Box off. Now I won't watch at all. I liked Unknown Origin, btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted January 2, 2019 My wife really liked it. She has very bad taste in movies and TV shows though. I dont have the attention span to watch movies personally. I can do a comedy or a really compelling drama (something like Saving Private Ryan or Fight Club), but I generally fall asleep during movies. Has anyone seen that Black Mirror movie? Shes trying to get me to watch that one with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,050 Posted January 2, 2019 So dumb. I like Black Mirror but this was a miss. That's a bummer to hear. I was going to check it out since Black Mirror is great and the "interactive" part sounded interesting. Bad plot or too gimmicky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,617 Posted January 2, 2019 I think shiitflix or whatever was trying to say that 45million people watched it. But that got sniffed out fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,617 Posted January 2, 2019 Man, these are just the salad days for actors. Between Amazon and Netflix and HBO and 36 other platforms spending literally billions of dollars on content per year, is there anybody who wants to act that isnt acting right now? Peter dinklage brought that up a while ago too. I mean that Union must just be busting with dues collections. Every crap comedian has his or her own show. Every actress over 50 now has a development deal thanks to me too. And God damn, if you're a black woman over 50? You pretty much own Hollywood. See, shonda rhimes. 3 guaranteed jobs in America right now. Border patrol agent, Congressional investigator, and actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
