I saw Twisters last night. What fun! I’ve always been fascinated by tornadoes, so I was going to be a sucker for this sequel, but it’s genuinely great. The blockbuster special effects are compelling, the characters are enjoyable, and the plot is clichéd, but okay enough for this kind of fare (there’s nothing woke, although there is an evil capitalist). Glen Powell, who plays a YouTube-star cowboy chaser, is a real movie star. Pass the popcorn.

Rich: Lot of talk about writing in Brian Kemp this election. You voting for Trump or writing in someone?
Jeb: I'm writing in my Dad. please clap.
I “might” see that and Wolverine Deadpool. I hate giving money to hollywierd though. Last movie I saw in a theater was “Expendables”
Oh! The funnel cloud, not the board game.
“Twister” was a fun movie. Bill Paxton and Hellen Hunt were a good combo.
“Twisters” is the same movie, only less fun, not to say boring.
OK, I’ll say it; B O R I N G.
Helen.
I have chased storms, tornados, and hurricanes. This movie seems like a lame attempt at capturing the lure of storm chasing with a lot of hokie BS.
I’ll pass.
You think you’re confused. I was expecting a movie about:
I just sort of look at it like watching a cartoon.
I don’t even attempt to hold them to any sort of historical or technical accuracy even if the movie is claimed to be based on true events.
Just be happy if it isn’t loaded with globalist, socialist, homo woke crap. Then I refuse to waste my money.
I’m not going to pay someone to brainwash me on their leftist atheist ideology.
Ebert:
“It’s perhaps unfortunate that “Twisters” never approaches saying “climate change” clearly, but the implication is right there for whoever would like to see it—these storms are more destructive than they used to be, and there is cause for concern for the future.”

I’ll pass until I get it for free...unless others confirm the movie’s absent virtue signaling and, hence, Ebert is guilty of his own.
Kamala is the suck Zone
Like we did last summer!
Fats could bring it!
The last movie I saw at the movies was Jersey Boys. Before that, No Country for Old Men. I hate the people of Hollywood so much.
Last two I saw was “1917” and “Dunkirk”
I watch movies for free on TV. Zero premium channels.
Tho if TCM ever goes subscription, I will have to pay and go with it.
I went with some buddies of mine this weekend, someone wanted to see it, I had no expectations, but I thought it was pretty good all things considered.
I loved the original. The trailers to the new one look pretty lame.
“Helen.”
Best part. Second best part was “cow”. lol
