Last movie you saw?

And the main bad guy in Mortal Engines. I still like the movie despite its failur
Yeah... I could never figure how larger cities could ingest smaller ones, though. The gain in resources would be overwhelmed by the permanent increase in population... unless they were killing the occupants of each city they ran down.

Probably or just keeping them down in the bowels of London doing all the unsafe and shitty stuff and killing some off where no one can see them

Iirc they don't kill them. But it's just dumb, eventually you run out of cities to devour

Which means with every "ingest", they get a finite amount of resources, but a continuing drain on their resources from the extra mouths to feed. Unless they don't give the new arrivals food, water, or living space, which only kills them slower.

They were already nearly there. They observed that the Bavarian town was hardly worth running down.
 
Man, watching v for vendetta in 2025 is extremely uncomfortable!
Watching it on opening night had at least one cringe-humored moment with Natalie Portman's ''fashion choices'' in relation to the plot. Take solace that the film's Fawkes masked army survived and did not have to eliminate anyone violently. If that doesn't do the trick, perhaps just repeat to yourself over and over ''It's only a prescient movie, it's only a prescient movie.'' Or just skip it and watch NEW ZOO REVUE. It has far less basis in reality, but the frog is nice.:cool:
 
The Fantastic Four: First Steps - It was entertaining enough, though the plot was predictable. Not bad for a Saturday night at home.
 
I couldn't get past the inconsistency of the original.
Flying cows, fine.
Reproduction therapy, meh.
Carey Elwes as a bad guy... well, he is the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Babbling idiots (looking at you, Dusty), arghhh. 😠
Bill Paxton going from respectable weather to "the extreme" way too fast, I'll deal with it.
That pep-talk in the rubble, you probably know the one, :rolleyes:
An F5 finally showing up at the climax? Well, maybe.

But the inconsistency I just can't get past?

Buying a brand new super fancy pickup truck... and having liability only insurance on it.

Hey Dusty was fun. Don't diss on Dusty.
