I thought it was good. For a lack of comedy, car chases, explosions or shootouts, it was still interesting. And ya, Keaton is awesome. Ron Swanson plays himself pretty well (or the actor that perfects Ron Swanson pulled it off again.)
It's nothing much. Bucky wakes up in one of the outer village huts of Wakanda. T'Challa's sister is there and she asks how he is basically.
Anvil: The Story of Anvil
Been meaning to watch this one for several years but never got around to it for whatever reason. Anyway, really solid as far as these sad sack character documentaries go. The King of Kong and American Movie are still tops in that category though.

Loved the Anvil doc. The Jon Mikle Thor doc is similar territory, but far sadder. He REALLY wanted that brass ring and it was always out of reach.
Rewatching Kickboxer. Haven’t seen this in years. What a classic!
"New actors suck. Too much CGI. The old one was better."
Hellraiser series never did much for me. One of those deals where the villain is 10x cooler than any of the movies.
The first, maybe the second, was meant to be legit... all the rest were crap money-grabs by whoever owned it.
I watched a couple and still have no idea who Pinhead is or what he does other than just stand around running his mouth.
Fun fact: the climactic battle in HR 3 happens on Elm street in beautiful downtown Greensboro, NC with High Point cops. Talk about low budget....

Thor: Ragnarok This movie definitely has flaws but damn if it wasn't fun as hell. Yet again Marvel really went over the top in forcing the comedy, which I'm generally not a fan of. I get it with something like Guardians of the Galaxy. But it seems an odd choice with a property like Thor. It plays like a spoof movie at times. My wife even commented at one point "I feel like I'm watching Spaceballs." Yet it works. But tonally it just seems like a weird fit compared to not only earlier Thor films but the bulk of the Marvel Universe.
King of Kong and American Movie are both execellent. I love the scene in the Burger King Drive thru from American Movie. I think it's a deleted scene.
"It's great how things work out sometimes..."
No idea there even was a new Hellraiser. I stopped caring about 20 minutes into the first movie..
Yeah. It's hard to believe these people actually exist. Some of the greatest comedy writers alive don't write characters this good.
Mike's brain was fried... he did the guitar music in it though. He's gifted.
Mike and Mark seem like genuinely good guys, frankly.

But don't mention the analytics based Hollywood trends excluding these people from the discussion around here for fear of being ostracized by ready consumers..
Mark's comments about questioning his life are the best. The one about being 30 and was about to have to clean up someone else's shit and the one about sucking down peppermint schnapps and calling Morroco at 2 in the morning are still some of the funniest lines from any movie.
Pinhead lost his appeal quickly.
