I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.

Movies about giant monsters or giant robots or ideally both. I love Pacific Rim, Godzilla, Jurrasic Park, Transformers, Robot Jox, etc. etc. etc. I don’t care about plot or a coherent story I just want to see giant things fucking up shit.
I can relate to that. I recently went to the cinema alone to see Godzilla Minus One, because none of my friends and relatives were interested. Watched big lizard smash things. Felt happy for the rest of the day.
I have a beef with the Transformers movies.
I think the last one I saw was the second Transformers movie. Did the later ones move the camera position back so you could actually see who and what was fighting and winning/losing? I remember being in the middle of what may have been an epic robot battle, but the camera position was so close you couldn’t tell which robot you’re looking at. Even slight clue what would have told you like a color or maybe some lettering on the robot body was impossible to discern because the motion blur was so high and the cuts were maybe 1 to 2 seconds before another cut took place.
I remember looking that the screen hearing this epic robot battle and being just bored because I couldn’t tell which robot hit which robot and couldn’t tell which character was winning. At the end of the 3 minute fight scene a Decepticon was standing victorious over the Autobot he had just fought. I thought “huh, I wonder how he won”…even though the whole thing played out in front of me it was impossible to follow.
Did that get any better in the later movies?
Agree 100%. The fight sequences were awful because you couldn’t tell what was going on. It reminded me of the shakey camera technique they use in action movies.
No, the action camera work is just god awful.
I see “Godzilla minus one“ today and I’m pretty excited.
I’m seeing it with my son today, I’m excited as well.
