I had trouble enjoying it even as a popcorn flick. Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges worked together well, but I'm not at all exaggerating when I say that it seemed like the two of them were just ad libbing banter back and forth for half the film. I couldn't shake the feeling that so much of the legitimately good stuff was something not even in the script in the first place.

Also, RIPD does NOT have the worst CGI of 2013. That honor goes to Olympus Has Fallen. That movie is embarrassingly bad. Star Wars Episode II was better, and that is not an exaggeration in the slightest.

That's how a lot of good comedies are made. According to MIB lore, the original script was absolute crap. The finished product is basically Tommy Lee Jones deadpan ab-libbing most of his lines while Will Smith tries to keep up.
Same thing with all three Iron Man films. The first one was filmed with about half a script, at best. The actors, especially RDJ, were so good at just doing it ad libbed that the sequels were designed to be ad libbed.
What I used to think was me is just a fading memory. I looked him right in the eye and said "Goodbye".

I think RDJ ad-libbed a few of his lines in The Avengers too. I believe the line IronMan directs at Thor, about his cape being made from his mother's old draperys was ad-libbed.

That would make sense. After all, I'd imagine the only person able to do Iron Man's wit as well as RDJ is Joss himself.

The World's End.

I thought it was excellent.  If you liked Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (of course you do) then you'll like this.

Iron Man has a fascinating background, actually. Beyond the ad-libbing, at various points it could've been directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Tom Cruise, which sounds like a combination so awful it could tip over into crazy awesome.

So much about those trivia things sound so bad it's good.

I watched Despicable Me 2.

10/10, a rating I don't give often.  There wasn't a single thing I found that I could possibly dislike about the movie.  No cringe-worthy "liar revealed" scene, no needlessly drawn out moments, just pure fun from beginning to end.

The only characters I disliked were characters I was meant to dislike.

I've been meaning to see that one actually. I saw the first one in theatres (I can't remember the occasion) and it was adorable and hilarious! I'm sure the second one will be as well. I miss watching these little-kid movies sometimes.

Felt like watching some Star Wars, so I decided to watch Star Wars:A New Hope.

Turns out that not only does one of my old high school drama clubmates know the girl who played the daughter in Sharknado, but said girl is a local! Multiple people I know are mutual friends (or "friends" that I try not to look in the eye because they might try to stalk my Facebook and get me fired).

I don't think I'd have the heart to tell Aubrey that her acting was shit on Kristen Stewart's level.

The Conjuring.

I liked it, but it has a lot of cheesy overly emotional moments for a horror film.

Based on what? Twilight? Cause she was a damn good actor in the Runaways.

Based on every Twilight film, Snow White, her minor appearance in Jumper, and most of Welcome to the Rileys. Which is quite simply everything I've seen her in. With nary an improvement in sight.
