Anyone want to write a Star Wars story or series I could contribute concepts/ideas to? Because I'd like to do that, but I have a lot of writing projects I'm working on ATM, and don't wanna do the actual writing.
If not, we can just discuss how incredibly lazy I am.

Ah, okay. I will definitely see Kong: Skull Island sometime. Probably wait for when it's in Redbox. Honestly the thing I'm most excited to see in it is the post-credits scene, because Godzilla.
That's fair. The Post-Credit scene wasn't too amazing, though. Didn't show too much.
I know but I must see cave paintings of Godzilla monsters.
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.

I have been considering writing something Star Wars, but I'll probably wait for summer to start.

That's kind of a misconception, actually. It's more of an allegory for nuclear weapons in general, but was obviously inspired by Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Godzilla was a personification of the dangers of nuclear weapons, being in a film with a strong anti-nuclear message.
It's actually one of the few Godzilla movies I haven't seen! It had the first suitmation monster fight, so it inspired almost ever monster movie since in that aspect. I will likely see the movie tomorrow, I'll let you know my thoughts!
Ah. But it still seems is if it makes a lot more sense from the Japanese perspective than the American one.
Interesting... Who does he fight in it? As I said, I literally remember nothing from it, despite having watched it pretty recently. I can read a summary and we can discuss it after you watch!
Pretty much. But it was also meant to show other countries the horrors of nuclear weapons.
He fights Anguirus, a spiky ankylosaurus. It's in black and white, the first color Godzilla movie was the one that followed.

Just finished watching a certain R-rated film (you know, the one that was released a week before Kong: Skull Island). I'll never recover from watching it.
I saw that movie on Friday. It was a very good movie. But what do you mean you won't recover from watching it?
Yup, a very good movie indeed. What I meant was that (slight spoiler hints incoming) I'll never get over what happened at the ending. It's so heartbreaking and perfectly shot. And the shot where the cross is rotated to form an "X".

Don't watch R-rated films then.
You didn't understand what I mean. I removed something from that post just to keep away a spoiler hint. But I have to explain it to you then. What I meant to say was I will never get over that ending. It's very heartbreaking and also hard to move on from that scene knowing that "he's done".
I didn't actually dislike. I only got mixed feelings (although I'm starting to like it even more now tho), mostly because I thought the music doesn't fit and the trailer doesn't look at all dark. But hey, it was recently confirmed by Kevin Feige that the MCU won't go dark (I'm not a DC fanboy btw. I'm just a DC follower, equally with Marvel), though there have already been dark moments throughout the MCU already (tbh, I consider The Winter Soldier and Civil War dark movies).
Ah. I can see why that might have been surprising if all you knew was that it was called something that means the end of the world... I knew it was going to have lots of comedy for a while now, so I wasn't surprised by the light tone.
I also definitely agree on TWS and CW... They were quite dark for MCU films.
Actually, what really confused me about the tone were all these articles I read about the tone. Some say that it'll take the Winter Soldier or Civil War tone while Tom Hiddleston and the other guys say it'll show Thor's funniest side. Then apparently, it won't be serious at all.
Yes, they were quite dark for MCU films, and that's why it's perfect for me imo. I'm not saying that it shouldn't have humor. I enjoy the humor brought by the MCU films, but some of their other films have to be serious (with some humor, of course). However, I have to admit though, the opening of GOTG was really dark (and unexpectedly, quite heartbreaking).
I've heard really mixed reviews about Kong. My dad saw it, and he didn't really like it, and my go-to movie critic overall didn't like it, but fans of the genre and other critics seem to really like it. And I've heard some say the characters were way less interesting than the characters in the 2014 Godzilla and some say they were way more interesting. So, if and when I see the movie, I honestly don't know what to expect.
The LEGO Batman Movie was a fun film. If you're a Batman fan you should definitely see it, it makes tons of funny references to past movies. And the animation is incredible. It's not as good and The LEGO Movie, but it's a fun film.
Yeah, I think that it really depends upon what you go into the theatre expecting. It's very different from Godzilla... Kong is, as I said, a fun film. It's terribly memorable, or really amazing, or anything like that, but if you go in looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours with some monster thrills then you'll probably get what you expect. That's generally what I expect from Monster films, so I had fun while I watched it. As for the characters, I can definitely understand where both sides were coming from. Most of the characters were incredibly dull and didn't have very much to them, including the two 'main' characters, played by Hiddleston and Larson. However, there's two or three characters which are VERY interesting (at least to me) and they blow away the characters in Godzilla. Jackson and Reilly definitely have the standout performances.
Ooh, neat. I'll probably get it on DVD as I did with the LEGO Movie. Nerdy references are definitely my type of humor, so I'll probably really like it.
I know I'm not part of this discussion, but you're definitely gonna have a lot of good laughs out of The Lego Batman Movie. If you know a lot about the 1960's Batman, very good because it took me two months to find out that the 1960's theme played in the movie. xD
As for Kong: Skull Island, I only finished the first hour of it. Will watched the second hour probably this weekend. A problem I had was that somebody lately spoiled a certain scene to (not the post-credits scene). x(
