4 Movies: The Divide, Star Wars: TFA, Hateful Eight, and Pacific Rim (no spoilers)

In the last week, I've seen four movies. My responses range from 'meh' to 'OMG WOW!' There may be mild spoilers for The Divide and Pacific Rim, but they've been out long enough that I figure it's fair.

No, I was asking if there was another Pacific Rim movie, not a Hateful Eight thing.

Inglorious Bastards was on my list of 'things I want to see', but after Hateful Eight, it's way down there. Largely, my complaint about Milo's dark movies is the same as what I disliked in Tarantino's - the unnecessary violence (and in Tarantino's case, gore). You're right that it just seems immature at times, like the character couldn't think of any better course of action than to lash out and hurt someone.

I think I saw Imitation Game and was impressed with it. That was the one where he played the WWII cryptographer, right? It was great and made me want to see more of Cumberbatch's stuff. He's not physically attractive to me, but I love the subtlety of his acting.

I'm sorry the new Star Wars didn't do it for you. If you see the future ones, I'll hope they restore it for you. I know there were a lot of elements in this one that were very similar to the previous ones. I'm okay with that because I think they are headed to a different place with it in the future movies.
