Bob. You're 30. You were bullied when you were a kid.
Get over it. The rest of us "victims" already have. It's time you join us.

When he started speaking badly of the found footage style I thought he would bash this movie to high heaven, but now I want to see it. Comparisons to Akira and Dragon Ball Z always convince me.
A Candy Land movie...
...starring Adam Sandler...
*pauses*
So where's the third godawful element of this? These things come in three, ya know. Lemme guess...bad director like Uwe Boll?

Ugh, I hate found footage movies. They always make me queasy.

Haven't seen this one yet, but I will. I did however, finally buy Super after seeing a pretty enthusiast recommendation from Movie Bob regarding that movie. I really enjoyed it.
Hopefully Movie Bob, will have time to chime in on the upcoming prequel for the Watchmen. With one of his "Comics are Weird" segments. Perhaps entitled who's more greedy Fanboys or Publishers?

Nah, Michael Bay is picking it up. It's going to be Candyland with explosions, tanks, and Adam Sandler yelling a lot.GamemasterAnthony said:
Ready to be crushed by the Giants again, Bob?
And this film sounds interesting. The fact that you're worried that the Avengers can't top it is a bit surprising. I'll see if I can't drag some family members to see it with me.

It's the black guy [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackDudeDiesFirst], right?
Of course you can also say that emotional scars like that never really go away. Perhaps it did for you. If that is what happened then good for you. Personally, my scars didn't go away so easily. Bottom line is though, you cannot judge someone's own pain because you may have had similar. We are all different.TheDrunkNinja said:
Back on topic of the movie.... I thought it was going to be really bad just from watching the trailer as I have hated every "found footage" movie I have seen. But then again most of them do not have telekinetic super powers. I might give it a shot just to see the action sequence described.
Bob, you continue with this terrible Magneto complex and you like the patriots? I have never been so disappointed in my life. I hate the patriots.
I was picked on as a kid. A lot.
But my super-power fantasies tended to go the Spider-Man route;
if I had power like that, I would help people, even the bullies, when they got in trouble, because I was better than them and would not sink to their level.
And then they would feel bad.
Anyway, I tend to hate the 'found footage' thing. In movies, anyway. I like it in video-games, and I guess in general as a part of the narrative, where you find pieces of documentation and shot video footage to piece together what was going on, but I like to see the character who is piecing it together.
Because kinda all of these 'found footage' things have that character who is usually not seen, the person who has collected it and edited it.
Within the narrative there's the person who is trying to get a message across here.
And usually it's totally ignored.
Also I hate shaky camera and the way these kinds of movies often don't seem to really tell stories.
The only 'found footage' thing that I liked was Trolljegeren, and that was because it was shot like a documentary. And it fit well to the style and humor.
