Passengers

The movie was kino up until Pratt shaved his beard
I'm just imagining how much better, or worse, the movie would've been with different leads

>>81975129
>reading reviews
wtf is wrong with you?

>>81975129
No, Pratt waking up J-Law was the right thing to complain about. This was like Marooned in Realtime in realtime. That is the exact thing that would be right to complain about. Toxic masculinity isn't real but anti-PC PC police are becoming a thing and it's saddening.

>>81975192
Apparently they were considering Keanu Reeves and Emily Blunt at one point, which could have been neat.

>>81975241
I didn't want to, but when I was pulling up the page the other day I couldn't help but have it shoved in my face because apparently someone JUST made a video about "fixing" the movie and I was like "What the heck was even wrong with it?"

>>81975311
>keanu reeves in anything that requires the character to show emotion
'no'

>>81975408
Maybe the Keanu Reeves version could have been a horror movie.

>>81975309
It was a central theme of the film that what he did was not morally right. How is that the right thing to complain about?

Better things to complain about were the fact that they resolved the matter by taking the plot in a "the ship is going to blow up and we gotta save it" direction, or the fact that they gave it a Hollywood ending where they lived happily ever after.

>>81975901
I honestly don't understand third wave feminism at all but what Chris Pratt's character did to J-Law was wrong. That's all I wanted to say.

>>81975970
Yes, it was wrong, but that's the POINT of the film. It's like criticizing The Shining for "Oh god he went on a murderous rampage, this is the problem with men!"

>>81975970
it wouldve been fine if the robot wasnt retarded

>>81976047
I feel like you're raping me right now. I just expressed an opinion and now you're bearing down on me with the intention of defeating me.

I get it, you're a male, this is how you interact with the world. But maybe you could just let others express their views without being so oppressive once in a while? Just a thought.

>>81976114
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were shitposting.

>>81976049
And now we're using the r-word.

Okay, I'm out.

>>81976160
bye nerd

>>81976160
Next time it would be nice if you didn't have to resort to this ironic posting. For the first couple posts I thought you were actually interested in having a discussion with me.

>>81975129
>the whole point is that he made a selfish choice.

Which the film tries to walk back by having Laurence Fishburne tell J-Law to basically "look at it from his point of view," and then having J-Law forgive Pratt so they could tack on a happy ending. At no time is Pratt ever really seen as the bad guy, he's always a good guy who made a mistake and the film expects you to at least understand his actions if not outright sympathize with him. It was a shit film and deserves all the criticism it received.

Woulda been better if he died and 5 years of isolation drove her to do a similar thing to another passenger, show how crushing loneliness can drive anyone insane.

Instead she just embraces him in the end and says she really loves him, his ripping her from stasis and thus her life was reduced to a romcom mishap like making out with the heroine's mother by mistake or choosing the big job in the city instead of marrying right away.

>>81976321
Morpheus described "his point of view" as that of a drowning man trying to take someone down with him. In no way does that justify it.

>>81976379
>In no way does that justify it.

It certainly seemed to work for J-Law.

>>81976283
I non-ironically disagree with use of the r-word, and also, your entire premise is still wrong even though I refuse to argue with you anymore. Good day.

j law went full retard at the end by not going back into hibernation. she literally said what he did to her was murder and then didnt take the chance at respawning

>>81976405
That is clearly not what convinced her to fall back in love with him. It was listening to the advice from her friend that caused her to reconsider her feelings.

>>81976437
No, seriously, your first couple posts made you sound at least somewhat rational and then you became an r-word.

>>81976559

It was incredibly stupid either way and doesn't change my point that the movie is still way too kind to Pratt.

>>81976595
Thanks.

>>81976950
The guy was sentenced to 90 years of isolation because of some space rocks. He deserves a bit of forgiveness.

bump, literally a dozen really bad threads just got made

>>81977731
Oh? What are they about?

>>81977641
sure

he then dooms another person

Movie was neat til he woke her up.

>>81977783
not sure, i hide shit threads if they manage to bypass my filters and im not going to look at hidden threads to answer your question so hey that's that

anyboday else here think the movie should have just been 160 unadultered minutes of chris pratts enormously gorgeous pale moonlit ass because 160 minutes of chris pratts enormously gorgeous ass would be something id pay VIP access to watch

>>81977886
can you lend me your filters?

>>81977805
And the whole ship would have been doomed if he hadn't woken her up.

True, he didn't know this, but this just shows that it was apparently fated to happen. The reason people don't like this movie is because they're edgy atheists who don't believe in fate.

>>81977979
except for how larry fishburn wakes up for no reason.

if you get woken up in that situation do you just assume that whatever fucked up will eventually happen to someone else, like it did with the captain?

>>81978062
Also fate.

>>81978039
I doubt shitposters are watching a Passengers thread, but it's probably stuff like capeshit, dcuck, mcuck, quips, bazinga, etc.

>>81978039
come on mane, shitposters are too busy resetting their routers and making more BLACKED webms to mind your list

>>81975129
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE would have done what Pratt did. The insane moralfaggotry surrounding this thing is fucking hilarious.

>>81975129

I thought they did their best not to make him look like an asshole.

Irl, that fucker wouldn't have looked at a pod and fallen in love. He would have checked every single one and woken up the hottest most low Iq bitch they had like a futuristic comatose version of tinder.

They had him do it out of a crush rather than crippling loneliness.

>>81975129

I still dont get the tragedy for her, she got to spend the rest of her life on vacations, without having to work and with a handsome love interest.... Am I psychopatic?

>>81978135
i've been shitposting nonstop itt, it takes one to know one

My only problem with this movie is that the ship had literally no backup systems apparently. No programming for "Just in case" scenarios. Which any decent setup would have.

>>81978200
I guess it's because she's one of those crazy people who actually wants to work and achieve things.

>>81978181
Fucking this. I would wake up the sexiest chick on the ship within a couple of days. Kill her and throw her body into space if she figures out what I did. Repeat as needed.

>>81978139
>>81978181
I saw a pretty good idea in one thread, he could have woken up children and groomed them and nobody would have been able to do anything about it.

>>81975129

SJWs who complain about movies don't actually watch them, they are just copying what their friends say on social media to fit in

for example everyone dogpiled on the angry video game nerd for saying he won't watch ghostbusters literally just because the name of his character makes people presume he must be sexist when he didn't mention gender at all and is just was tired of remakes of 80s movies, no one watched his 10 minutes video

and even if they watched the movie and saw that it was a conflicted issue, which they wont, it doesnt matter, like that thing with X-Men, also featuring JLAW, where Apocalypse chokes her, it is fucking obvious that if a villain called Apocalypse is choking someone trying to stop him from ending the world he is in the wrong, but SJWs will still say it promotes violence against women

theres no logic to any of it other than what the latest meme issue is on twitter

>>81978089
You realize "fate" in a fictional work is just plot convenience, right?

The Nerd Writer just recently explained how the movies would have been leagues better if it was told from the point of Jennifer Lawrence's character.

>>81978289
Did not read one word of your post past "SJWs".

I really didn't!

>>81978222
This honestly. The whole "it's impossible to be awake" thing ruins the suspension of disbelief. Any real ship like that would have SOME kind of backup.

>>81978269
In fact, I take that back, he wouldn't even need to wake up a sleeping child. Apparently, in the original ending for the film it was revealed that the ship had the sperm/eggs/etc. of the passengers so he would have been able to make his own kids without needing to wake anyone up.

>>81978298
Convenient things happen all the time in real life, I think it's perfectly realistic for them to happen in a fictional work.

>>81978385
so you're willing to excuse any and every contrivance because life works that way too?

>>81978337
titanic didnt bring enough lifeboats, right?

"Sometimes truth is stranger than fictioooon" - Bad Religion

>>81978435
It varies from situation to situation but in this case I find it excusable.

>>81978359
If he put her back to sleep in the med pod and then pozzed up some kids with her eggs then people would've whined too cause he'd be sentencing a bunch of children to live all their lives in a space jail.
There's no way out.

>>81978492
This isn't about what people would have complained about, it's about discussing what would be a pretty fucking good idea in that situation if you ask me. We're talking loli paradise here, buddy.

>>81978532
sure pedo

>>81975129
Yeah, as if no one would react like the 2 characters do in the ship.

People don't realize how fucking long they stayed awake in that ship, despite making it clear it's several years, because its still a movie you get to think about their interaction within a very short time, while the characters actually go through months of boring leisure daily life.

And then there is all the period after the movie where they spend like I don't remember how many years living together, who knows what happened then.

>>81978548
Hey. Reddit's that way. *jerks thumb*

>>81978486
at this point it seems you just want me to list all the plot contrivances in passengers

>>81978576
how nice of you to show yourself out, remember to take the r/4chan exit

>>81978532
whats the point of a loli paradise if no one knows about it and isn't super offended?

>>81978234

She didnt need to be on another planet to be a "writer". She was just a spoiled brat.

>>81978629
Please do so

>>81978452
Exactly, I find nothing wrong with that plot point because they made it clear that they got so overconfident from all the successful voyages that they were sure nothing could possibly go wrong and decided to cut corners on their ship. It's one of those situations where the company in charge got greedy and decided to save some money. Especially since if something did go wrong it would be very easy to just sweep it under the rug.

this could be the shining in space, but no, they had to make the 2 hot moviestars to fell in love and save the day. the end was ridiculous

>>81978702
Well good thing he woke that brat up and jerked her out of it, huh?

>>81978705
wouldn't be posting anything that hasn't been posting a hundred times in every passenger's thread.

>>81978752
You're broken. The movie was flawed but what you've stated isn't the flaw.

>>81978790
I thought you said you were done posting in this thread.

>>81976469
>j law went full retard at the end by not going back into hibernation. she literally said what he did to her was murder and then didnt take the chance at respawning

This. The movie would have been fine if it didn't try to have it's cake and eat it.

Either don't hand wave away what a terrible thing he did so you can have a happy ending, or make it so that she woke up by accident so you don't have to face that problem. You can't have it both ways.

>>81978799
Fair cop, I've made 17 posts since then

>>81978839
the movie is a network of contrivances that clearly only exist to justify the existence of the movie.

>>81978752
It's weird because they made a point of referencing The Shining all over the place and everything.

I have to assume they stayed away from doing it because they were worried people would just complain it's a knockoff of The Shining. Instead they ended up bombarding it with negative reviews for a different reason.

you think this movie originally didnt have a cheesy happy ending but producers forced the change?

>>81978906
SO ARE YOU

>>81978993
Unfortunately, no. It was even cheesier and actually somewhat horrifying.

Make it into a horror where he wakes up and goes insane from being isolated for so long.

He wakes people up and rapes them or tortures them and then the twist to the movie is that he figures out a way to go back to sleep after killing the majority of the people and then he wakes up with the other survivors pretending that nothing happened

>>81978862

*cough*titanic was a real event*cough*

>>81979091
the first scene in the movie shows what caused the ship to fuck up

I don't mind romantic movies, but I hate that it suddenly turned to that after being billed as a scifi space station thing

>>81978730
Is it ever even posited as a cutting corners thing?

The ship basically had an omnipotent super computer running it that could self-repair and maintain everything the ship did

They just didn't account for something both getting through the shields and compromising that super computer. And even then, they ship compensated for the damage for what, two years before it reached a critical point?

Movie had a misleading trailer where people would have liked it if it was just the movie the trailer pretended it was

>>81979552
j law drowning in a water sphere for 90 minutes?

>>81979523
I mean, yeah, the technology was advanced, but when the ship has a SINGLE medbay for 5000 people you have to assume they're trying to save money.

>>81979042
wouldve been some great dark humor to see all those pods getting ejected at the end. wish we had that ending

>>81979583

She did look fucking great, man

>>81979487
>>81979552
I think that was the point. They wanted to trick people with the trailer which is why they didn't mention anything about him being the one to wake her up.

I would go so far as to say it was an experiment to find out how people would react to something like that. What we've learned is that people don't like being tricked.

But hey, the movie still made back its budget despite that, so it's all good. And Spaights has a pretty good reputation in Hollywood so it's not like one poorly received film is gonna kill him.

>>81979592
they are only awake on the ship for like 6 months, right? dont need more than one medbay for that

>>81979667
For FIVE THOUSAND people?

What's with Chris Pratt always getting with women ten years younger than him?

>>81979708
the thing figures out what is wrong with you in one minute and then gives you the pills you need. and how many drastic injuries could possibly happen on the ship in those 6 months?

>>81979523
I really liked how when faced with cascading failures the computer couldn't handle, the computer makes no attempt to awaken the crew.

then when the computer crashes out, the crew still isn't woken up.

>>81979449
yeah, but there were some scene that made me think something was wrong with the robot after the accident. and was clearly a reference to the shining, so...

>>81979774
To get you off this idiotic angle.

Its a colony ship.

Wouldn't a magic medbay pod (or parts for one) be in pretty large demand on a colony world?

>>81979523
yeah. shields are so strong that we dont need a backup. its like da titanic bruh

>>81979809
or it was just showing how everything on the ship was slowly failing?

the barbot was locked to his little track, he wasn't going to go punching holes in things.

>>81979833
wasnt all the shit they needed to live already on the planet they were going to? wouldnt need to bring more medbay parts

>>81979808
It is very weird, so I have to assume they thought it was so out of the question for something like this to happen that they didn't even come up with a failsafe like that.

>>81980223
>i would assume they were fine with having no actual failsafes

... why are you trying to make excuses for this movie?

>>81980407
Because I had a good experience while watching it and seeing the petty nitpicking after the fact is annoying.

When you think about it, it's no surprise that this film was received the way it was. It was written ten years ago, before the era of political correctness, when people had different values.

>>81981047
the movie was panned because is fucking bad. stop justifying your bad taste with the PC boogeyman

>>81981047
how did it take 10 years to make this movie?

>>81981234
Lots of reasons. This kind of stuff happens all the time.
http://www.indiewire.com/2016/12/passengers-space-romance-jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-sony-black-list-1201761058/

Here's an article about it.

>>81980476
But there's nothing petty here. The movie's literally built around the idea the term "failsafe" means "can't fail," but nothing is ever done with that angle. So it just becomes an excuse to have the ship designed by retards.

Oh yeah, this was probably the guy who thought "run in straight line away from large rolling object" was a good idea. That explains a bit.

>>81981497
The movie isn't about the little minutiae of the ship. It's about "What would you do in this situation?" and I think people are ignoring a very interesting discussion because they're too focused on unimportant details.

>>81981610
The problem is "this situation" is built upon compounding idiocy.

>>81981726
Just like many situations in real life. Death is, almost 100% of the time, a result of human error.

>>81981780
The difference being, life doesn't have a script writer.

So trying to go "jes liek lief!!" in response to plot contrivance is justifying laziness.

>>81981843

"Why didn't the writer create a scenario where the movie couldn't happen!"

how it should have went down

>don't bother with the whole captain waking up or the damaged ship story arcs
>after she finds out, she brutally murders him with a blunt object the night that she sneaks into his room, rather than just beating him up a bit
>she disposes his body out of the airlock, kino shot of his bloodied and frozen corpse floating off into space
>one of those JLaw writer/narrarator monologues about life on the ship by herself, discussing the morality of what both she and Pratt did and lamenting about being alone but optimistic for her future on the ship
>near the end of the monologue a shot of her disassembling the bartender while she discusses her optimism
>next shot is her looking at the pod of a sleeping Chad, running her fingers along the glass
>cut to black and roll credits

>cool colony ship sci fi movie
>ruined by anti-scientific and anti-engineering premises

>>81982036
so how does pratt wake up in the first place?

>>81981991
The Enterprise has one sickbay and it's a flagship that spends years out on the frontier

People are only meant to be awake on the Avalon for like 2-3 months as it slows down for arrival. It's like saying a luxury hotel needs a dedicated hospital.

how the fuck did jlaw come back after drowning in the water bubble? she literally drowns, falls back into the pool face down in the water and dead, and then all of a sudden she just magically breaks the surface gasping for air. what the fuck? makes no goddamn sense.

this movie would have worked better as a thriller. it isn't revealed that chris pratt is the one who woke up jlaw until the very end and then he goes psycho and she has to kill him or some shit.

>>81982093
Probably with some generic pod failure exposition at the beginning. Doesn't matter to the story anyway, more importantly they should not have hyped up the reason Pratt is awake in the trailers as a sci fi/thriller aspect

>>81982036
>>81982128
i like when anons find ways to make shittier movies

>>81982036
It would be cool if she murder him while they are trying to save thw ship.

>>81982209
how can you get shittier than "man literally steals woman's life away but then she's ok with it and they live happily ever after"?

it still would have been a shit film but at least as a thriller it would have made some semblance of sense

>>81982274
>how can you get shittier than "man literally steals woman's life away but then she's ok with it and they live happily ever after"?
something like they dont reveal pratt is the one who woke her up until the end and then for some reason he goes psycho and he has to kill him or some shit like that

>>81982036
this is awesome

>>81982339
If we're changing the whole story then there should have been a creepy dude hanging out on the ship waking them up, subtle shots of his presence throughout the beginning that would go unnoticed by most. Start it off as a romance/mystery and transition to horror/thriller when they find out there is someone else.

>>81982498
j law goes into medpod. pratt offs himself. the end

>>81982452
is the creepy dude trying to kill them or does he just jerk off in the dark when they have sex?

>>81982452
they should never find out that there is someone else

>>81982117
the enterprise sickbay had multiple beds, pods, and resources to treat a meaningful number of people at the same time, for a crew of around 1100.

the passengers ship had five times the total number of people and a fifth of the medical resources.

>>81982901

so they just loaded the crew onto the ship, asleep? how were they going to be put back to sleep at the destination?

>>81977641
That bring up an interesting point I was thinking about.

First of, I loved the film, thought both leads were great, and dont really get the bad reviews. But here is my thought.

This would have to have been taking place at least hundreds of years in the future. By that time the average lifespan would have to be at least 120. Meaning there would be plenty of people who lived much longer than that. Plus, they now had access to the medical tube thingy so any diseases or illnesses they got or surgery they needed could have been done easily. Also, gene therapy and other medical advancement would have to be a thing by then. I just think they could have both easily still been alive by the time they made it to the new planet.

Also, they should have had some kids.

If that was me on the ship, I would have just woken up the 10 most attractive women, made them all my slaves, knocked all of them up repeatedly and kill all the male offspring and keep fucking all the females so I had and endless supply of young pussy like that guy from Game of Thrones. When the ship reached the new planet everyone would wake up to like 75 inbreed, feral women who couldnt read.

>>81982962
Humans aren't logical.

>>81983402
The film was open-ended about that. They didn't show any kids or whether they were still alive so you could speculate about it. All they showed was the overgrown tree. Anything could have happened.

A fail-safe in engineering is a design feature or practice that in the event of a specific type of failure, inherently responds in a way that will cause no or minimal harm to other equipment, the environment or to people.

A system's being "fail-safe" means not that failure is impossible or improbable, but rather that the system's design prevents or mitigates unsafe consequences of the system's failure. That is, if and when a "fail-safe" system "fails", it is "safe" or at least no less safe than when it was operating correctly

I was born in 1990.

>>81984073
But what happens when the fail-safes fail?

>>81984152
What happens when the enemy steals the keys?

They could have arrived on the planet only 45 years older apiece by alternating cryo.

>>81983433
Im not seeing how the 2 are related?

>>81984130
Did you live in cave for all that time? You would have had to to think Political Correctness is a thing that just started in the past 10 years.

>>81984373
Back up your claims. Show me examples of political correctness from the 90s.

Why didnt they build another medical bed so they could both go to sleep

Here ya go, idiot. Cant believe I wasted my time doing this, but your stupidity had to be addressed.

>If the 1980s go down in American history as the "glitz decade," the 1990s are bound to be remembered as the years of "political correctness." Never before has a nation of hell-bent-on-pleasure-seekers made more of an effort to curb their consuming instincts. One must not overdo it. One must not offend. One must not make haste, not waste. Above all, one must be sensitive.

-NY Tmes Aug 27, 1991

I swear you fucking teenagers think the world didnt exist before you were born. Like all this shit going on is exclusive to you.

>>81984591
Is the New York Times writing negatively about PC culture? Would that even be possible today?

>>81984393

"The notion of political correctness has ignited controversy across the land. And although the movement arises from the laudable desire to sweep away the debris of racism and sexism and hatred, it replaces old prejudice with new ones. It declares certain topics off-limits, certain expression off-limits, even certain gestures off-limits."
-George H W Bush, 1991

It was the some "boo hoo stop being intolerant towards my intolerance" whining then, too.

>>81984643
Its not a negative article, per se, just commenting that that is how the world is now (then).

Which is why its so annoying when the kiddies on here whine about PC shit like its a phenomenon from the past 10 years and in the 90s we went around lynching niggers and raping women.

The shit has been like this since the 80s. Yes its worse now, but its been around for awhile. Millennials are just so self absorbed that they can only view the world from their own perspective.

>>81984753
Surely it's a lot more pervasive now than it was in the 90s

I like this genre of movie where the setting is SciFi but it isn't in your face.

I didn't hate Passengers either, it was a good way to kill time.

Suggestions for the "genre" or style of film?

What way to call this type of movie? Hard SciFi or lowFi or what?

>>81984912
Romantic comedy

>>81984912
Chick flick.

>>81976114
lmao

I like the trailer's false advertising, really cements this as a 4/10.

>>81984852
Only in the sense that Tumblrinas can now doxx people and try to get them fired/ruin their life. Those same idiots existed in the 90s but without the ability to form the sizable presence they can now because of the internet.

People were still stumbling all over themselves not to offend niggers and to not label muslims as terrorists.

I happened to stay home sick from school when the first World Trade center attack happened in Feb. '93. I cant vividly remember the news as it was happening.

>Now we here at channel 5 News what to make sure that its understood we are in no way associating this attack with Muslims........

Next day

>Radical Muslim Ali baaba Bin Sheroof Mohammed has been identified as the man behing yesterdays bombing

>>81985007
lmao what kind of loser watches trailers

>>81985029
Saw it when I went to the cinema.

>>81985044
You're supposed to show up five minutes after the movie starts and be obnoxiously loud when you're walking in

>>81985007
>being this butthurt about getting trolled

I hate niggers.

>>81985763
I love them.

>>81986042
Especially Laurence Fishburne. What a handomse mean.

6/10, would wake up jlaw

>people complaining that there were no failsafes

Did you guys not watch the movie? The ship tried to reroute the problems but was not able to and systems slowly failed. THEY EVEN FIXED THE DAMN THING IN THE END!

Just finished watching some of the bonus features and a few of them were fake "ads" for the ship. They had some fine print about how the Homestead Company is not liable for any personal or financial losses so I guess that means that even if Pratt was able to communicate with them somehow he wouldn't have been able to sue them or anything.

I thought the movie was stupid romcom in space but basing on this thread I guess I gotta see it. The arguments against the movie don't come very strong (every single scifi movie ever suffers from inconsistent technology; this doesn't seem to have it so bad).

As a side note holy shit you actual shitposters must be bored.

>>81987876
>I thought the movie was stupid romcom in space
It is.
All the "science" is a tiny macguffin for the romcom bullshit that is 95% of the flick.

>>81987876
You'd be impressed at just how much thought went into stuff like the set design. I can't find the exact featurette I watched but here's one about it if you don't mind spoilers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCNz1sM1Vqk

All in all it's clear they worked really hard at it and are proud of what they accomplished so it's a shame critics basically boiled down all criticism of the film to "male privilege."

>>81987992
There is nothing "comedic" about Passengers. If you're going to exaggerate that side of it, at least be honest and call it a romance.

>>81988026
Only a fraction of the reviews are tumblr meme.
Most just call it boring and illogical trash (which it is).

>>81988103
I looked at a lot of reviews and they all mentioned how "rapey" and "gross" and "problematic" he was, just like all the Iron Fist reviews I looked at whined about cultural appropriation, mansplaining, etc.

I don't know how you can deny this.

>>81988162
Those are clickbait, and you clicking them contributes to the problem.

>>81988186
And yet they still make up the majority of the reviews. They are most definitely there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UTHn4W48Ok
Look at these fucking idiots I just came across on YouTube who make a whole video about how they didn't even watch the movie.

>>81976160
Robot?

>>81989132
*GASP*

>>81988162
A lot of reviews call it those things because it absolutely is those things

Like this isn't some ambiguous thing, the movie acknowledges exactly what it is, then promptly walks it back and decides "eh, no big deal he's a nice guy at the end of the day"

>>81975129
>Chris Pratt
Slit your throat.

Was it ever explained why he could only have the basic tier of food but had access to a fucking space suit and space walks?

>>81990028
The reviewers never take into account that if they were alone for an entire year they would probably wake up an attractive member of the opposite sex as well.

There is a reason why the UN consider solitary confinement a form of torture covered under article 5 of the UDHR now

>>81990731
I think he just charged his account for stuff like the restaurant and extra circular activities. Like how he sent the video message that costs thousands of dollars. Kind of like how people who are on cruises have their keycard hooked up to their credit card, but they get some stuff included (i.e. breakfast, lunch) as part of their package.

Obviously he is never going to have to pay for any of it.

Women would open two men pods because she couldn't open a jar and then would have to fight to the death for her love

>>81975129
>Waking up "Aurora"
Sleeping Beauty
>She freaks out because she is going to die due to being woken up
>She realizes she was never "awake" until Pratt "woke her"

Stay woke niggaz

>>81990082
Chris Pratt is a great actor.

>>81991495
I can't believe I didn't make this connection.

I feel especially silly because I asked my mother and she says she noticed it immediately.

>>81991316
It would be cool if the ship had a tracking of his bank account and after I dont know, 5 years of using the services of the ship he went bankrupt and the ship rejected every petition, dying of starvation

>225 post thread 5 months after release
kek

>>81993185
Guess that means it's a great movie, since there's still so much to discuss about it after all this time.

>>81993185
And this is actually an ok quality thread, one of the top5 of this month. The movie has fucking jlaw ffs

>>81975129
Characters with flaws are problematic.
