Okay so the whole episode starts off on Bortus's need to be seen peeing by his friends and family. Lets just get that out of the way. then, we see that Captain Mercer and Kelly are still at odds with The Break-Up having the captain confessed that he is still in love with her and Kelly never actually admitting she was not even though she's seeing a new guy. The whole creeper vibe where Mercer is doing a flyby and gets caught was hilarious and yes sometimes we do that.
I don't know why but I feel like lieutenant Alara and the captain need to just hook up or become a thing it seems that even though there's a huge and I mean huge age difference those two characters seem to have a lot in common. At the least it would make Kelly go crazy.
Dr. Finn and Isaac the Android are going to hook up and it's going to be really nasty. I can only imagine what kind of computerized algorithms he's going to give her with all kinds of freaky pleasure.
Gordon has John helped him try to ask a new character out and at first it seems like he might have a chance but I noticed something that I kind of picked up on from the beginning she was a little interested in the captain which is going to be a cool dynamic but I'm still holding out hope about a Laura and the captain hooking up maybe season 3.
Isaac helping the doctor with her son getting into trouble and confessing her love for him which totally flew over his head was funny. I cannot wait to see that whole dynamic play out.
My theories Gordon is gay and he will probably hook up with the character Dan who has a bad taste of poetry. I also see Isaac programming himself to feel and fall in love. Hopeful that elara hooks up with the captain and it becomes a big disaster. And Kelly's new boyfriend is too perfect he might be a psychopath.
And if Gordon is not gay at the very least he should hook up with that simulation woman he talked to her at the bar. She seemed pretty cool.
I watched Collider with Kristian Harloff interviewing Katie Sackhoff talking about their time as a couple, now as friends. When I saw her on the trailer of Origin Unknown that was the first thing that hit me was, I still haven't finished that interview.
After watching the Terminator, the one thing that hits me is that old saying, "There's no fate, but what we make". I bring that up because this movie made me think about artificial intelligence and the rise of the machines. 2036 Origin Unknown/Film synopsis Following a deadly crash on Mars, Mackenzie Wilson launches a mission find out what went wrong. But when her ship's artificial intelligence takes control, they discover a sinister object on the surface of the red planet.
This movie makes us ask that question, do we put too much faith in these machine. Think about, if we make contact with beings from outer space, unless we're dealing with immortals we're not going to meet the actual beings we're going to meet their drones or probes or satellites. They will send their machines, as we do. We always send off the remote control car before the man. so is the next step of human evolution whatever we give to our machines?
So downloading everything that is human into a sentient machine. Is that the next level. This subject is still theorized and talked about. Is AI the enemy, are they our savior's or the cause of our deaths, this movie says the answer to both questions is Yes. This is the way for humans to live forever. The only way we'll meet other beings in the universe. Destroy the planet to save the planet. The destruction of ourselves to save our saves.
I was expecting this movie to show the alien, but they never do. This movie made me think of Contact staring Jodi Foster as well. Alien was a no show, cop out. I give it up to Arrival, at least they had the guts. Then this movie does the same thing, saying that machines and humans are the same things "What Is Alive" all this stuff comes from the same universe. We're always putting ourselves inside of and merging with machines.
This movie kept me so clueless, I felt like it was time jumping as if it was a simulations. . This movie came out in June and I'm just now getting around it. and I'm getting a lot of comments from people who are really split on this movie. Already over 700 views and 20 comments. I'll share them with you and let you keep the conversation going.
BTW for answers - Mac died and ARTE recreated her for the purpose of traveling to unknown origin to meet the alien species that sent the Cube. He not only re created her with android tech . He enhanced her using magnetic pulse Technology from the alien cube . It apparenty took him a long time to re create her as he tells her this. He intimates that he took the best of "human " archetypes to re create her as well . He noticed that her and many others shared his quest for knowledge etc that many others of the species lacked and he clearly used this as a guide .. Therefore in the end the enhanced human that was Mac had all the best qualities of humans without the "fragile" make up and travelled with ARTE the AI to meet those from the galaxy that sent the Hyperlingk Cube. ..A deep plot ,and well acted . The martian shots really covered the bleakness of alien landscapes
Had to find some other other opinions about this movie. I watched about 15 minutes and fell asleep. I then watched another 15 minutes and couldn’t take it anymore. Very dull movie. 😴
I love Katie Sackhoff. She is aging well but this movie was not good. I felt like the movie was originally twice as long, but half of it was left out. I could not really follow what was happening. It was trying to be 2001, but it just did not work out. When it was over, I was thinking, "WTF did I just watch?"
The movie was great!!! It was too deep for you. Like a 2001 space odyssey movie It will become well liked over time and more popular as well.
Representing this blog and my channel on YouTube I was able to attend a press screening of Second Act starring Jennifer Lopez. I went in with no expectations and left having a great time in the movie theater. I legit broke out into laughter a bunch of times, this movie was well written and directed. I appreciated the fact that it was within the vein of a romcom but was breaking the campiness of those types of movies.
I had a great experience with actors such as Leah Remini, Alan Aisenberg and especially Charlyne Yi. This was the glue that made sure this film really worked and worked well. They were the funniest and most interesting characters in the film. The dynamic between Vanessa Hudgens and Jlo was also well received and the overall premise of the film came together very well in the end to lead to a feel good experience.
I recommend seeing it and hope you will enjoy this movie.
With no expectations, I walked in to a movie theater and walked out generally entertained. I had fun up to the third act where it just became a way to sell 3D movies to the world. It just turned a bad corner where the only point was the jam as much CG it could handle. There was so much fun to be had with this film. The scenes I felt I would be disappointed in, I turned around a huge belly laugh and the ones I was hopeful for, I was just whelmed.
There seems to be a weird clash of fans that believe that the more this movie is loved the more copies of the originals will erase from the DVD's, VHS's and Digital downloads from the hearts and minds of film fans. I don't see this as a proper sequel, nor reboot or remaking of the original films. Even though we have cameos. Some that were spot on perfect, others that were a few stinkers, I see this as a film adaptation of the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters. Hell, maybe more of a film adaptation of Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters.
I feel like if it spawns a sequel, they'll need to add a few men in the team. Allow it to grow and use more villains from the cartoon. Sony should make an announcement and tell the world "We were just kidding guys, this is a adaptation of the cartoon, not the movie". The boogieman should be the villain of the sequel. SPOILERS!!! Kristen Wiig's character tells a creepy story of why she believes in ghosts, saying she had a mean old lady neighbor who lived across the street and died. For thirty days every night would appear at the foot of her bed and would just stare at her while she tried to sleep. No one ever believed her. This story freaked me out a little and I think it deserves a look into it.
Something I hated about the film was the third act where it just got silly and the villain became ever more lamer. I couldn't wait for the threat to be over and the focus back on the team. The relationship between the Ghostbusters was the best parts of the movie. Kate McKinnon was the best part of the movie as was Leslie Jones. You'll enjoy yourself.

Here is what Brad Brevet from Rottom Tomatoes had to say about the Weekend Preview.
Can 'Ghostbusters' Scare Up a $50M Opening?
by Brad Brevet
July 14, 2016
This weekend Sony's Ghostbusters hits theaters amid a flurry of headlines such as being named the film with the most disliked movie trailer in YouTube history to Sony chief Tom Rothman responding to the negative online response by telling The Hollywood Reporter, "It's the greatest thing that ever happened. Are you kidding me? We're in the national debate, thank you. Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?" As a result, awareness certainly seems high, but how that awareness translates to box office is the big question. There's always the old saying, "There's no such thing as bad press"... right?
Back in 2015 online furor called Mad Max: Fury Road "feminist drivel filth". Ultimately the uproar didn't have a noticeable impact on Fury Road's box office performance as it opened with $45 million, grossed over $150 million domestically and over $375 million worldwide on a $150 million budget. The comparison may end up eerily similar for Ghostbusters given the film's $144 million budget and its expected opening weekend.
In attempting to forecast that opening weekend, sorting the signal from the noise is a near impossibility. One might be tempted to put stock in Ghostbusters' more than 2.9 million Facebook fans. Trouble is, that page wasn't focused on the reboot until around May 2015 and even as of November 2015 it still featured the cast of the originalGhostbusters film in its "About" section at a time when it had already amassed nearly 2.4 million fans.
A study of IMDb.com traffic data is also tough to go by over the past few days. The results could very easily be skewed as a result of headlines focused on alleged ballot-stuffing suggesting a small group of IMDb users were attempting to intentionally lower the film's user score. For some perspective, the film's IMDb user rating currently stands at 4.1/10 with over 14,000 votes, 50% of which score the film 1/10. Only one-third of the film's grades have come from outside the United States and so far the only territory that has released the film is the UK, and that was on July 11.
Information that can be considered a little more closely includes the 74% rating on RottenTomatoes forGhostbusters, which has held relatively steady over the past few days. Also, Fandango.com reports the film is the online ticket retailer's top pre-selling live-action comedy of the year so far. The film is outselling comparable titles including Central Intelligence and Ride Along 2, both of which opened over $35 million, and is looking to become director Paul Feig and star Melissa McCarthy's top preseller on Fandango, suggesting an opening above 2013's The Heat ($39.1m).
In terms of a prediction, Sony is going conservative, anticipating a $38-40 million opening for the film. Given the pre-sale information alone, that forecast looks like a bare minimum as an opening closer to $45-50 million seems like a reasonable opening weekend range. While that would give the film the largest opening for a live action comedy this year, topping Central Intelligence's $35.5 million opening last month, the size of the budget and the fact this is being looked at as a franchise starter means it's going to want a multiplier similar to the 4.78 average multiplier Feig's last three films have delivered.
We'll also be keeping a close eye on the film's international performance, especially since it was just revealed it will not be released in China, partly as a result of China's official censorship guidelines prohibiting movies that "promote cults or superstition". However, the film has already hit theaters in the UK and will also be released in Australia, Brazil and a few smaller territories this weekend. It will expand its international footprint over the weeks to come.
Targeting a first place finish once again, Illumination and Universal's The Secret Life of Pets is likely to drop around 46-48% for a second weekend around $54 million. Pets is playing somewhat similarly to Inside Out, which dropped 42% in its second weekend, but given the massive, $104.3 million opening for Pets, a bit of a larger drop than Inside Out experienced is to be expected.
The weekend's other new wide release is Broad Green's The Infiltrator, which opened on Wednesday in 1,600 theaters and brought in $773,761. Reviews have been somewhat mixed with the film currently hovering just above that rotten/fresh line with a 62% rating on RottenTomatoes as a weekend around $4 million seems like a safe expectation.
In limited release a couple markets will get a double dose of Kristen Stewart this weekend with the limited release of Woody Allen's latest film, Cafe Society, into five theaters and A24 releasing Drake Doremus'sEquals into two theaters following the film's DirecTV debut.
Finally, the political climate heats up in theaters as well as on the campaign trailer with Quality Flix releasingDinesh D'Souza's Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party into three theaters this weekend followed by a nationwide expansion into 1,200+ theaters next weekend, just after the Republican National Convention has wrapped up.

Candace S Payne totally went viral when she went to Kohls to return some clothing and bought the Star Wars Chewbacca Mask. She turned her cell phone on and reordered herself unboxing and trying out the mask that cries like the legendary Star Wars character when the wearer opens their mouth. Her infectious laugh went viral on Facebook and now stands at a total 133 million views.
Kohls representatives visited her home to give her more Star Wars toys for her whole family as a response to her videos. She became an instant celebrity and is enjoying every minute of it. You can see t3M reacting to the video at the link below.
This was a unique origin story. I've got to say it was a well put together team and a great time in the theater over all. All of the critics who seem to have found this movie boring are not taking into consideration that this movie was just coming off of Age of Ultron. I was so entertained by the over all cast. All of them worked well together and the execution was one of the best Marvel has done since Guardians of The Galaxy.
Paul Rudd is Ant Man! I'm surprised that I'm saying that and not laughing. This movie made the premise of a movie about a super hero who shrinks and talks to bugs cool. It was a cool movie. An man give so much and its best parts are when you get the comedy moments. All I'll say is Baskin Robbins Yo!!!
The villain was great, he may have needed more development but by the time he goes full on Loki its an action packed punch. Michael Douglas came to work. No paycheck grab. He really delivered his A game. I felt like this was the reboot to an already awesome career. The Doug is back!!!
You won't be disappointing. There are two extra scenes.
This is the first Reaction Video on the Blog and YouTube Channel. I'm excited and a little disappointed that the first one would have to be to this heap of garbage of a trailer. This trailer is no good at all. I've actually produced something that I'm proud of on the set of Talking Through The Movies but I know the Executive Producer of this film should hate the marketing campaign for this garbage.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are two of the funniest women in the business but this was so beneath them. I'm surprised its coming out. I was curious to see that WWE superstar John Cena was in this film. I'm more looking forward to what he's bringing to Trainwreck, which looks hilarious.
I can't find any more word to wast on this trialer. Here's hoping the film itself is better.
Mr. Sean Malloy and Christopher Fagan talk over the movies. Running over time to discuss things like the new Batman V Superman trailer. The leaked footage of Suicide Squad to Weird Science.
The pilot did run about 45 minutes longer than I'd want it to but it was fun to talk with Sean about these things. I never have a dull moment talking through the movies with him and I'm glad that he's officially apart of the team after all these years of idea after idea of getting nothing done.
This is the first step in a new direction that I hope will keep us on the path to a great future for Talking Through The Movies.
This is one of my favorite romantic comedies. You'll get a kick out of how this movie starts out to be one of the same A typical, paint by the numbers romances but then the thing that tears them apart are the things they do and the things they fail to do for each other. The hell and torture that comes from both of these people and the bad love advice from friends does not give this movie justice. If you want to see crazy this is it.
Staring French Stewart and Bridgette Wilson. It also includes great names like Bill Bellamy and Jason Bateman.
I hope I can talk you into seeing this film . . . let me know if you hate it or love it and keep the comments coming.
Check out my video review let me know if I talked you into seeing this film.
The soft silence of the opening in space. Hearing the two asteroids hit and send a six mile wide meteor burning to Earth as you witness it just miss it completely leaving every dinosaur on the planet completely safe. Hilarious. It made me giggle.
Going into this I had to clear my head. Everything I was hearing about it was not pleasant for me. I really think this will be a bad one. Or at least thought so. This trailer works and it worked it magic that only Disney can seem to create. How they were able to do it with a teaser, I'll never know. Seeing the herbivores eating their grass as they only raised their heads in a "What the heck was that"motion when the meteor passes in the sky was so funny it distracted me from how amazing the graphic and detail looked.
This looks like its going to be another hit. So far so go. Thank you Disney, you got me again.
Here's my freaking money. I hear there's s human boy that acts like a dog. . .still, take the money!
Wait, Neil Patrick Harris. . .Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
