I don't like Batman (sorry 
). I forgot about X-Men - First Class, looking forward to that too. All 4 previous X-Men movies are amazing.

How the fuck do you not like Batman?
Well, I like Batman as a character, but I don't like other characters and the whole dark tone surrounding Batman movies.LooseCannon said:

exactly.
I've been watching "True Story" movies on Lifetime. Laugh all you want, but that chick channel knows how to make movies about crazy people, murder, intrigue, drama... not just romantic cheesy bullshit. Say the "true story" of Natalee Holloway, the woman that disappeared in Bermuda and that Dutch guy... Van Der Sloot, was the suspect and eluded police for five years until he got arrested in Peru for the murder of another woman. They followed it with the Amanda Knox story, the American foreign exchange student in Italy, convicted of murdering her British roommate.

Love the Bat!
OK, I promise I'll rewatch all Nolan's Batman movies in a row when the third one appears and try to reconsider my statement 
Just saw the season 6 finale of How I Met Your Mother, it was good. Too bad it'll be months of waiting 'till Season 7

It is a great movie. If you like 4th wall breakers, did you see High Fidelity? Also great.

Fucking classic movie. They don't make 'em like this anymore. My current fave comedy (outside of The Big Lebowski, of course) is Hot Rod. Amazing flick.
Has anyone here seen Black Dynamite? It's a parody of 1970s blaxploitation films starring Michael Jai White (Spawn, Mortal Kombat: Legacy). It is extremely hilarious.
If you can watch a film and enjoy the metaconcepts behind it, this one is for you. I laughed until I cried the first time I saw it.
The basic storyline is that Black Dynamite, a former CIA operative and veteran of the Vietnam War who is the prototypical blaxploitation superhero, skilled with kung-fu, the women, and gunplay, has been called back to The Streets after the death of his brother Jimmy, who was working for the CIA to take down a drug ring. Black Dynamite unleashes unholy terror on The Man, killing his agents as he uncovers a plan to shrink black men's....stature... A plan that goes all the way to the top.
The movie is fantastically quotable. Here's some of my favourites:
"Fiendish Doctor Wu! Your penchant for biological transmogrifications is only outmatched by your zeal for kung-fu treachery!"
"Hi, I'm Gloria, and this is Black Dynamite."
"My momma says my daddy's name is Black Dynamite." "Mine too!"
"Hush up little mommas, lotsa cats got that name."
"Not the orphans! I used to BE an orphan."
"Donuts don't wear alligator shoes."
Part of the movie's comedy is parodying the extremely low budget nature of blaxploitation films. The boom mike makes a few appearances in shots, one actor is so "bad" he reads his stage directions as if they were dialogue. "Who's in charge here?" "Sarcastically. I'm in charge." Shots have obvious filmography errors that were taken into the final cut due to hypothetical time or money restrictions.

Easy A. 7/10. Glad they mentioned John Hughes because they ripped off every one of his GOOD movies. Which is actually a good thing. Decent effort from Emma Stone too.
