Proud to say I did not see any of them, and only heard of half of them.

“How do we nerdy white guys talk?”

Nerdy white teenagers try and talk like “Gansta-Rappers” so there’s that. Otherwise, I don’t know.

I figured it would be with Cheezits or maybe milk.

Or, we pull up next to other cars and say “Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?” (here come the jokes.....)

You can definitely tell when Harold Faltermeyer did the score - it has to be him, no? - sounds like “Fletch”

The reviewer should have seen Deadpool 2, it was quite entertaining.

As for Aquaman - these are movies based on comic books. Go into the theater with that in mind and you'll have fun. Compared to some leftist tract on the evils of America, it was not that bad - terrible acting and laughable story, but some great CGI.

Some of the licks are the same as Fletch - it’s hilarious - I’m think when he’s checking out the place where Alan Stanwyck’s first wife lived.

This is the basic theme.

They must have just copies some songs and just recycled them. LOL

>>10. Avengers: Infinity War. Okay, overall the film isn’t terrible. But that ending was just a waste of everyone’s time. It’s going to lead to the biggest “Never mind!” in movie history. It risks casting the whole Marvel universe under a cloak of absurdity in which nothing matters, and it’s the closest the Marvel series has come to a shark-jumping moment. If you want us to be emotionally invested in your story, don’t trifle with us like this.

They released this movie at the same time production of the third guardians of the galaxy movie was in the news. the “dead” characters clearly aren’t dead. It’s the equivalent of a 30-minute drama in which someone gets stage 4 cancer and is cured by the end.

Infinity War is essentially based on a major series from decades ago. They are not really playing with the audience.

Like it or hate it, I do not care, but the article mischaracterizes the studio’s intent.
