Still wanting to see Splice.

Get Him to the Greek was a tad disappointing but still funny.

I laughed till I had tears in my eyes twice during MacGruber while the other 7 ppl in the theater didn't really laugh much. I was "that" guy.

There Will Be Blood

Oil rig blowing is one of the great scenes of the last 10 years or so.

Overall however, disappointing.

That scene is a perfect example of how to use special effects. The rest of the movie was a complete waste.

Today's worst movies run circles around the best from the 20-60s.

So, what I haven't seen on your list, I have absolutely no desire to. And I recommend everyone else here pass as well.

I've watched two full movies in the last, roughly, 3 years.  Up and Up in the Air.  So, apparently, if it has Up in the title I'll watch it and I recommend everyone here do the same.

Don't want to be hard on your list (is that every motion picture you've ever seen?), just am in complete opposition to the common thought that older motion pictures are superior to what we have now.

Sure, It's a Wonderful Life is great, but the plots are dull, they're falsely acted, and visually they don't exist. Michael Bay is a better director than John Ford.

Also, I didn't see one title on your list that wasn't an english speaker. I'd recommend you give the world a try.

First, no that isn't every movie I've ever seen -- its the ones I've gotten around to rating. As far as whether older pictures are "superior" to new ones -- that obviously can be very subjective. There are a lot of dull, hokie and silly old movies. However, I will say that I'm just not a fan of the sensationalism, paganism and special effects orgy that seems to plague most newer films. Older films tend to be cleaner, which is something that I can appreciate. Of course, your preferences probably differ.

With regards to dull plots -- It's true that the thriller and action genres are much more common now than the classic era; however, that doesn't mean that the plots are any better. There are many classic films with really good plots.

The acting styles in films have definitely changed -- however per your example, the acting in Bay films can't hold a candle to the acting in Ford films.

To say that classic movies "don't exist" visually is just incorrect. Now if your definition of "visuals" is solely limited to "Bayesque" special effects and CG animation, then you would be correct. However, there are many old films that put many new ones to shame from a pure cinematography and art direction standpoint. For instance, "Rebecca", "Night of the Hunter", "Citizen Kane", "Black Narcissus", "Touch of Evil".

As far as foreign films, I'll tell you what. You suggest 5 foreign ones for me that you think I'd like or should see, and I'll suggest 5 classics for you. We can both broaden our horizons.  :cheers:

Not sure how you're making those assumptions since Godfather and F&F are not on that list. NT is just good, clean, fun entertainment. I liked it. A lot of my ratings are based on enjoyment, not necessarily "social worth". And btw -- you lumped Godfather and F&F together??? lols my friend!

Before I begin I want to note that there are motion pictures made between 1920 and 1970 that I appreciate, but very, very few of them were made in America.

Older films tend to be cleaner, which is something that I can appreciate.

Plot: Motion pictures are not just more exciting today, but also much more inventive and deal with a wider variety of subjects.
Acting: Are you sure? Old Hollywood acting is straight from the stage. They didn't try for anything resembling realism.

Good answer.

Motion pictures are still a new art, but that doesn't mean they don't possess a far greater potential. They are a multi-dimensional medium that can realistically create a lifelike moment in time. People don't sweat and scream as they read. Blame the artists if a movie doesn't live up to a book you've read, not the medium.

I read non-fiction.

if its a good book you will sweat, scream, cry, completely destroy your life for a day, make your year, completely change your understanding of life, etc. a perfect example would be the bible, or any other religious text. books have a way of dictating our lives in way movies cannot do just yet. don't know if they will, but at the time being it is pretty insane to think of it as a superior artform.

Right. Non-fiction is the most efficient way to deliver information. That's why I read it. Non-fiction can be life changing. Non-fiction can be skillfully written, but, to me, it's not quite art. It's just info.

being awfully liberal with the term "non-fiction." sure if you are a creationist, then yes the bible would be "non-fiction." however movies span into the world of non-fiction as well. and with regards to non-fiction it still is very much an artform. biography's and historical texts still need guidance through skill and precision of language.

Thanks for the list! I looked them all up, and am going to try and watch some of them when I get a chance. A Man Escaped, Au Hasard Balthazar & The Spirit of the Beehive looked particularly interesting. I suppose, much like B&W movies, foreign films are somewhat of an aquired taste. I've seen a very few foreign films (like Metropolis, Das Boot & Le Serpent). Typically I've started out all like  :shy: and then halfway through I'm like  :dunno: and at the end I'm like  :confused:  . I'm okay with ambiguity and symbolism to a point... I just don't find it that enjoyable when that's all there is and I'm like... what was THAT about? lol Anyway, I look forward to trying some of those on your list.

I did want to say something about visuals in film -- I get what you're saying, at least to a certain degree. However, I guess I am able to take something as a product of its era and appreciate it. The thing about Kane and some of the other films is not that it can't be duplicated or even improved upon today, but that it was unique and groundbreaking in its day and pioneered much of what has evolved since (and no little thanks to advancement in equipment and technology). Similarly, Psycho could very well be considered the birth of the modern thriller films, and many basic elements have been duplicated (however IMO seldom if ever topped) countless times. No one had ever seen anything like it at the time (well, continentally anyway).

Anyway, here are a few classics for your consideration:

Make Way for Tomorrow

Don't think too hard about them - feel them.

The pioneer/never been seen before/groundbreaking argument is probably where we differ most. I can respect and appreciate that those were true at the time, but a better test is how a film comes through today.  2001: A Space Odyssey feels as if it could have been made this decade, but it was released in 1968. That is part of what makes it a masterpiece, because it has held up, it's as good now as it ever was; it's not dated, it's modern. Most hollywood films from the classic era are dated by multiple elements of their production and therefore are ultimately inferior to most of what we have today. Not just technically, but especially in their tone, which to me is probably the single most important aspect of a motion picture.

I'll give a couple of yours a chance, probably.

An Education
www.imdb.com/title/tt1174732/
We've all seen this many times, without the Pedo. The moral of the story? Life has no consequences and problems resolve very, very quickly. And abandoning morals for the sake of love is the right thing to do, because you're in love and it feels so good.

nice summary

I thought that Day Breakers looked horrible when I saw the previews. A lot of people told me it was pretty good, so I watched it. Sure enough, it was just terrible. The whole vampire thing is just so played out now, and I wish it would just die.

The next sure-to-be terrible movies that I just can't resist watching: Book of Eli and Legion. I don't know why I do it to myself but I just can't help it.

I'll be watching The Crazies tonight. Hopefully it will be a nice, fun gory flick that won't even worry about plot, much like Ninja Assassin.

I wouldn't say I hate the genre. I thought Bram Stoker's Dracula was amazing (even Keanu couldn't ruin it) and I like to watch True Blood for comic relief sometimes. I just hate how every vampire movie writes its own rules for vampires (how long it takes for sunlight to kill them, resistance to holy water, garlic, etc.) Also, the last time I was in the book store, I walked past the teen section and noticed that in the entire section, maybe 10 books weren't about vampires. Is this crap all that kids read these days? :cyclist:

I also don't understand how Twilight is so popular. The two movies that have come out so far are two of the worst movies that I have ever seen. They make Daybreakers look like it deserves an oscar.

Things I Learned from PW's Recommended Movies, Session 1

All right -- I made it through one of the movies PW recommended and am here to offer a few thoughts about it. The movie I watched was "The Spirit of the Beehive" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070040/), a Spanish period film set around 1940 and released in 1973. My initial impressions upon viewing the film did not yield the need to introduce any new explanatory emoticons. It was pretty much the way I had pegged some of the other foreign movies:  :shy: ,  :dunno: , :confused:. I almost  :zzz:'ed after about an hour.

Now after watching this, it's obvious that PW's suggestion that I not try and figure too much out and just "feel" the film MUST come into play, because the film is so "interpretive" that trying to "figure it out" is pretty much pointless and frustrating. Now I get films that convey a message through some symbolism or unspoken imagery. The problem I have with this film is that it was SO vague, I don't even really have a clue what I can take away from it. However, lest I be accused of not trying, below is my list of things I learned from the movie (Warning: Things below may contain spoilers -- if its possible for this film to have any).a

Things I learned from "The Spirit of the Beehive":

Movies delivered to the theatre in trucks with tarps may not be appropriate for young children's psyches.

If your father is a beekeeper, you can pretty much consider yourself lucky you got born.

Railroads are terrible postal carriers.

You can't breathe with your heart.

There are good mushrooms, bad mushrooms, and psychedelic mushrooms.

If you're mean to your little sister, penance will probably involve having your mattress taken away.

If you die in a barn, you'll inevitably go to your grave missing a sock.

---------------------

OK, so seriously -- maybe a better understanding of the Spanish Civil War would help me. Obviously this family was really dysfunctional and the girls were fascinated with death, presumably because they'd seen some nasty stuff during the war. I hated that it took over an hour for really ANYTHING to happen. The scenes of wide-eyed little Ana just drug on too long. Who on earth did away with the dude in the barn, and how did anyone even have a clue he was there. That was really weird (someone just happened on him and decided to murder him because he was on the wrong side?). I also gather that he was the dude mommy was in love with. I guess I'm supposed to take away that war is hell and especially for the kids... after its over people all buzz around like bees working hard and getting nowhere (or whatever that poem said). Kind of interesting on some level... kinda felt like I was on a trip from one of those mushrooms the whole movie long, though.  :dunno:

Verdict:
 :star: :star: :star: :raccoon: :raccoon:

Out of enjoyment maybe 2/5, but I give it a bit extra because it probably has more significance than I give it credit for. :)

Things that should probably be known about PoetWarrior's motion picture taste:

  • PoetWarrior's tastes don't particularly align with the tastes of others who have seen a comparable number & type of film. This can be viewed as a positive or a negative depending on your viewpoint.
  • PoetWarrior completely dismisses elements of films others find to be noteworthy/great.
  • PoetWarrior believes film should be experienced and felt, not intellectually understood.
  • PoetWarrior believes what the viewer sees is the most important element of a motion picture.


I watched it last night.

What I learned:

1)  After also seeing Days of Heaven, I would guess PW finds more beauty in the landscape of Kansas than most.
2)  PW does not need dialogue to enjoy a film.

1) Kansas is a beautiful place, as is every spec of the universe.
2) Absolutely true, this is key.

It wasn't great and that's why it was disappointing.

Nolan should stop directing films with budgets larger than $25 mil.

What other films have you seen that explore dream world time-altering concepts better than Inception?  I would very much like to watch several films with similar premises to Inception that aren't so superficially plot driven.  Inception asked the right questions, it just was at the wrong location.  Like Will Ferrel after he started banging chicks at funerals in Wedding Crashers.

A tough question. Ultimately, what Inception is about, to me, is the question of: what is reality?. I'll have to think about what titles are out there. I don't keep any logs or lists.

My main complaint about Inception is not just that it doesn't thoroughly explore that question, but that it also fails on the surface as a movie about dreams. Dreams are awesome, crazy experiences that this movie didn't even try to tap in to and that seems like the easiest thing they could have done.

Dreams are awesome, crazy experiences that this movie didn't even try to tap in to and that seems like the easiest thing they could have done.

I absolutely agree about "what is reality?" being the focus, but I think in the movie that was primarily shaped by their manipulation of time.  He found a way to live an entire life in a place completely of his own making in an afternoon with his lover.  Was his motivation for having her question whether the dream was real to escape because he felt the dream world's pressure coming back on top of himself, because he wanted more time with her or less?

The motivations of people and the incredibly complex decisions and actions that we take I think are an interesting component as well.  Because it is difficult to know, particularly when he had been in that dream for that long, "who" was motivating his decision.  Was his sub-conscious making a play and he then conceptualized his motivation differently?  Was the seed of inception planted in his own mind to take actions that would lead to her death based on wishes within his own mind, cognizant of the consequences?

I too am incredibly frustrated that the most interesting aspects of the movie come in small non-"plot" essential minute scenes and do not constitute the majority of the dialogue or action on screen.  While this is an improvement upon that crappy (but fairly easy to look at) film with Jennifer Lopez, I think that many of the most interesting questions could be explored at length in an interesting and watchable movie.  I think a movie about a relationship in similar circumstances to mr/mrs cobb would be outstanding.

I'd ask your cousin how he thinks he's gaining an increased awareness of his existence and the real world as he's under the influence of a mind-altering substance. Whatever he's seeing, feeling or thinking cannot, by its nature, be the truth. I find that comical. Larry Hageman probably should fear his death, however, I don't.

everything you experience in life is real and, by its nature, the truth. existence doesn't cease to be just because you are on drugs, it is merely a different perception on reality. the mind is our living being, and therefore its experience is our experience, our reality. i'm assuming you don't fear death because of your god. he is as much a drug as lsd.

Mr. & Mrs. Cobb were without a doubt the most interesting element of the movie - I'm still struggling to come up with others that match all of thes elements. As you mention, The Cell does somewhat, I suppose. And Memento definitely has some of these elements, as does Mulholland Drive.

I agree that reality does not and cannot cease. But reality is not unique to each individual, it is not determined inside our heads. It is the same for every human being, we do not shape it. There is a supernatural element to it that is outside of what everyone sees as they are walking around every day here on earth, but that doesn't mean when someone on drugs is riding a dragon into a white light that what they perceive is the truth. God isn't a drug because He is true for all, whether you like it or not.

so naive. the use of lsd as an exploration or journey is the same journey someone takes in reading a bible. you come to a conclusion that is a truth for that individual. just because you believe that God supersedes all individuals, and therefore is the truth, does not take away from the fact that he/she/spaghettimonster isn't. The only general truth for all would be our earth, and whether or not a person perceives our worlds actions and reactions (ex: global warming is/is not happening), is up to that individual. in a grander scheme there is your god, anothers god, and so forth. that god is inherently different and provides different truths to each of its followers. reality is unique to each individual. there are shared experiences, sure, but not one persons reality is completely shared. each person has, inherently, a different viewpoint and absorption of their surrounding experience. someone might have better hearing, or better sight, someone by be smarter or duller.

if you are saying that drugs are bad because of health reasons thats one thing, but to say that it isn't a reality to some people is shorthanded. there are indian tribes who's entire religion and sanity lies in the use of peyote. to them it is merely and aid to explore the earth and soul.

to further point out the flaws in your argument, the truth you speak of will be different between each individual in your own religion. there will be, ultimately, some tiny difference in thought shaped by their existence and experience. to say

Quote
God isn't a drug because He is true for all, whether you like it or not.

is ludicrous. even if there is a god, or it so happens that your god is in control, he then would be responsible for the use of drugs and the creation of other religions. or if you prefer a laissez-faire god, then there is no truth until we cease to exist. therefore there is no complete truth in existence.

for the sake of steve dave i will stop this convo here. if you feel like starting it in a different thread go head. sd and i will get together and go on a magic carpet ride to mordor and answer questions from there.

I do. I can't help it after a year or two. There was a time when I'd watch something twice in the span of a view days. I felt it was necessary to get the film. It's amazing how much and how little things change from one viewing to the next.

Obvs sucked hard but was nice to watch with 5 bros and be terrible sexists. Movies that provoke guys to say things like, "this just proves that all bitches are rough ridin' psychos" really entertain me. Sorry to any hos reading.

Poet-
What other films have you seen that explore dream world time-altering concepts better than Inception?  I would very much like to watch several films with similar premises to Inception that aren't so superficially plot driven.  Inception asked the right questions, it just was at the wrong location.

A tough question. Ultimately, what Inception is about, to me, is the question of: what is reality?. I'll have to think about what titles are out there. I don't keep any logs or lists.

My main complaint about Inception is not just that it doesn't thoroughly explore that question, but that it also fails on the surface as a movie about dreams. Dreams are awesome, crazy experiences that this movie didn't even try to tap in to and that seems like the easiest thing they could have done.

I absolutely agree about "what is reality?" being the focus, but I think in the movie that was primarily shaped by their manipulation of time.  He found a way to live an entire life in a place completely of his own making in an afternoon with his lover.  Was his motivation for having her question whether the dream was real to escape because he felt the dream world's pressure coming back on top of himself, because he wanted more time with her or less?

The motivations of people and the incredibly complex decisions and actions that we take I think are an interesting component as well.  Because it is difficult to know, particularly when he had been in that dream for that long, "who" was motivating his decision.  Was his sub-conscious making a play and he then conceptualized his motivation differently?  Was the seed of inception planted in his own mind to take actions that would lead to her death based on wishes within his own mind, cognizant of the consequences?

I too am incredibly frustrated that the most interesting aspects of the movie come in small non-"plot" essential minute scenes and do not constitute the majority of the dialogue or action on screen.  While this is an improvement upon that crappy (but fairly easy to look at) film with Jennifer Lopez, I think that many of the most interesting questions could be explored at length in an interesting and watchable movie.  I think a movie about a relationship in similar circumstances to mr/mrs cobb would be outstanding.

Finally saw this movie and I thought it was great.  I will say I didn't think "what is reality" was the focus of the film, but more the idea of guilt/forgiveness/letting go of guilt.  More evidence to this is that Nolan often seems to weave this subject into his films.  I thought the key for Cobb was reaching the point when he could finally let go of his wife, and more importantly forgive himself for "causing" her death b/c at the end of the day she was still the person who had to choose it.  And it showed that now forgiving youself not only has ramifications on you, but eventually everyone around you.

Beautiful thoughts.  I think both of us were imposing our own desires about the potential of the film on to the plot (which I think both of us thought fell short).  I kind of like the love story better after reading your take.  I probably need to see the movie again.

"I remember a lot of celebration; hugs, kisses and a lot of hooting and hollering," Mitchell said of setting the latest "Donkey Kong" record. "Once that died down, I stood there looking at 'Donkey Kong Jr.' and thought ‘There’s one more thing I have to take care of.' "

....

Mitchell isn't exactly known for being a humble sorta guy. He stopped playing "Donkey Kong" as soon as he had knocked Chien out of the No. 1 spot.  Asked why he stopped, Mitchell reportedly said: “Some say I’m being cocky. Some say I’m being lazy. I say, I’m being Billy Mitchell."

I hate the crap out of this guy but I have to respect the way he disrespected that other guy  :surprised:

The Fighter

Pretty much Rocky with a more personal touch. Christian Bale is incredible, and probably one of the main reasons this movie is up for best picture. He reminds me a lot of Jess in Breaking Bad: the druggie you can't but love. The directing is incredible, giving it the North Eastern small town feel comparable to Good Will Hunting, and the documentary feeling it was striving to be. Definitely a movie worth seeing.

qft. was an absolutely amazing film. if you've seen swan lake and know the story well it is incredible to see what aronofsky transformed the story into and how much he made it a completely new and original thought ripe with allegory and meaning that was completely absent in the original. a masterpiece of adaptation to script and very well shot and directed.

yeah that movie was a good watch and all, but it just annoyed me more than anything. apparently in real life there was a bridge that guy could have crossed that was less than a mile away and he would have survived. instead, he essentially tortured his family for a while and made other people clean up his mess.

Just watched "There Will Be Blood" this weekend.  That flick is pretty awesome.  Daniel Day Lewis is incredible.

I watched"The Fan" with Patton Oswald last Thursday, it was ok.   I'm glad it didn't go where I thought it was going to go.

Also watched "The King's Speech" this weekend.  It was a good movie, but not great IMHO.  Geoffrey Rush was very good, HBC was so-so, and Colin Firth was good.  I will have to watch the Social Network soon I think.

Agree on King's Speech.

The Social Network was fantastic.  A very cool story and Eisenberg nailed it.

I had heard that was one of the locations.  Assumed it probably wasn't your office.

I wouldn't recommend it.  Affleck is pretty annoying with his narration and oversized cowboy hat.  Unless you're into seeing women getting destroyed, it's a pretty lame movie.

Agreed. I probably laughed just as much as I did during the first one, but the first one was such a new concept that it was special. Since the idea isn't new anymore, it doesn't seem as good as a movie.

Also, [spoiler]it was pretty obvious that the entire movie was written just to expand Allen's character. The cool thing about the first one is that they left you begging for more. This one gives you way too much and then some. [/spoiler]

I was not a huge fan of Restrepo....very typical imbedded stuff...very sad to say but i've become somewhat immune to the horrors of war.  we are so inundated with videos and images of dead people and body parts that it callouses me.  i hate that for those that are in it every day, they deserve better.

the best movies on my list are Anvil and American Movie...both are absolute joys to watch.  Man on Wire is also an excellent movie.  I just watched Talhotblond and while it is an incredible story, as a movie it leaves something to be desired.

Watched Wet Hot American Summer the other day.  Pretty low budget movie with Brad Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Michael Ian Black, and Elizabeth Banks.

Very "out there" as a comedy, but I liked it.
*Poetwarrior found this "movie" uninspiring.

I haven't seen Super 8. X-Men has a lot of backstory/character development, but there is a satisfying finale. There is probably more crap blown up in The Green Lantern than Super 8 and X-Men, but that movie looks pretty bad.

Just got out of Mr. Popper's Penguins. 

Went with three other people.  The other guy I was with loved the penguin pooping parts of the movie.  Both girls seemed to like the baby penguin parts of the movie.

Overall, I would say that it's going to get some Oscar attention in the category of movies with penguins.

I recommend you seek it out when it comes to a town near you.

I haven't seen SPVW, but I hear it's similar to Kick-Ass, and everyone I've talked pretty much chose a side, Kick-Ass or SPVW.

Well, I love Kick-Ass so much that I know I don't need to see SPVW. I'm so far onboard the Kick-Ass bandwagon that I'm driving it.

i'm usually the one playing devil's advocate when it comes to movies but i watched that with ms tobias the other day and we almost left.  if it weren't for emma stone's character we probably would have.

Well, I'm pretty easy to please, so take all of my reviews with a fwiw. I thought it was a well written movie, though it would have been much better with somebody other than Steve Carrell. Everyone else was pretty good.

On my list. Worth it?

I have no idea if you would like it.  It seems like he may be making fun of old rural people with the movie.  But he may jus be allowing people to perceive what they will.  Errol is not big on inserting his commentary in his docs.

Please watch it and tell me your feelings about it.  It is rather short, and hearing your thoughts would better inform any future recommendos I may make.

Also: watch the coal mining doc Harlan Co.

Mark your calendars and we'll all meet up here to discuss.
(http://blogs.orlandoweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/treeoflifeposter.jpg)

This will receive a wide release on July 8th, so only another week or so! But if you live in Fredonia, Cimarron, Atwood, Sabetha, Waldo, Seneca, Leoti, Pittsburg, Larned, or Lyons you may be out of luck and need to visit a larger town.

I recommend you seek it out when it comes to a town near you.

We can wait until everyone has seen it for a discussion.

poetwarrior, i went and saw this tonight and absolutely loved it.  it was a lot to take in for the uninitiated though and i kinda want to go back again and watch it.  thoughts?

p.s. -  this film is incredibly beautiful and ugly, just like life.  mostly beautiful though.

Quote
The story of a man who becomes sexually obsessed with a DVD recording of the first film in the series, The Human Centipede, and uses sandpaper to pleasure himself whilst watching the film. He decides to create a "human centipede" of his own, this time comprised of twelve victims as opposed to the first film's three. He uses his human centipede to his own sexual delight, taking sexual pleasure in watching the victims of the centipede defecate in each other's mouths, and using barbed wire wrapped around around his penis to rape the woman at the end of the centipede.

Isn't it amazing when you watch a movie made more than 5-10 years ago and it doesn't suck? Just rewatched The Man Who Would be King for the first time since I was a kid. Still great. Would be a good remake, expect they'd probably put Nicolas Cage in it.

Anybody seen The girl with dragon tattoo yet? Wife wants to see this but I am very :dubious: as she is a twi-tard and read all these books too.

movie was pretty well done.  could've just been my hangover, but i think it might be confusing for the casual viewer who hasn't read the books - the pace seemed (necessarily) quick to me and might be hard to follow.

i didn't really find it any better or worse than the swedish version.  salander in this one fit more with the vision i had of her than in the swedish version.  skarsgard as martin vanger was basically perfect imo.

Do not understand the Hugo love. Cool visuals, solid acting, etc. But pretty forgettable story.

yep.  Scorcese loves the crap out of the old silent films and wanted you to know about it.

Tale of Two Cities (1958)

What a story.  Old Sydney is probably my favorite character in any piece of literature.

Isn't it amazing when you watch a movie made more than 5-10 years ago and it doesn't suck? Just rewatched The Man Who Would be King for the first time since I was a kid. Still great. Would be a good remake, expect they'd probably put Nicolas Cage in it.

Same with me rewatching Big Trouble in Little China on netflix.  Still love that movie a whole bunch and now can appreciate the more adult stuff.  Nic Cage would make a great David Lo Pan.

Me and my dad had our annual Christmas screening of Die Hard on Sunday.  Thankfully he has Netflix because apparently all of the channels available on DirecTV were dumbasses and didn't show it.  The thing I took away from this year's viewing is that Argyle the limo driver probably deserves a little more credit for his actions while trapped down in the parking garage.  Just my IMO.

I'm not sure why I always feel the need to compare the two, probably because they are both about magicians and they came out around the same time.

I watch "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" at least once a day.  Best movie ever, no use straying away and being disappointed.

Spicoli is the best character ever conceived.  Phoebe Cates, well duh.  Nic Cage as a bit player, dude was fugly back then even.

Some of the movies on RedTube are pretty good but my Commodore 64 locks up whenever I hit a hotlink.

Didn't care much for the story. My wife grew up on Tintin though and assured me this was just how the whole tintin thing goes. She really liked it btw.

Red Dawn remake coming out in November.

The original premise was the Chinese invading the USA after we miss a couple of Debt payments but after MGM went bankrupt Sony took over production. They didnt want to piss China off(China threatened to cut off sony's access to the 5th largest box office market) so they changed it to NK invading the USA and CGI'd the red stars into Korean Symbols.

good movie iirc.

just watched spiderhole.  absolutely terrible and featured a total of two spiders - though upon further research, spiderhole must be some junction city/vietnam term that was lost upon me until i cared enough to look it up myself

Which one to see, if you had to choose between these two...BUT, knowing that I think Tom Cruise is kinda creepy with his Scientology stuff and I loved the last Sherlock Holmes.

Mission Impossible ghost thingy

OR

latest Sherlock Holmes.

Just saw Mission Impossible, I give a solid 7.9/10 - IF you take it for what it is. Do not expect technology that exists. Haven't seen the latest Sherlock but I really enjoyed the first one.

Rise of Planet of the Apes. Surprisingly good.

Star Wars I to III on Blu Ray. These movies actually get worse with repeated viewings. I'm not even a huge fan, but it pisses me off how somebody could butcher a cool concept so badly. You've got everything going for you - cool Star Wars stuff like light sabers and crap, great actors (except for a horribly miscast young Anakin), unlimited money and production value - but without a good story or dialogue, its just steaming pile of dog crap. Contrast with Rise of Planet of the Apes. Cheesy concept, but an entertaining, well crafted story, and it ends up being a good movie. What a shock.

Cowboys v Aliens. See above. Great actors, great effects, stupid story = crap movie.

Half of Black Swan. Gave up. This movie is boring and disgusting. Just don't want to watch some crazy chick masturbate, get raped, and cut herself, even if it is Natalie Portman.

Speaking of Ryan Gosling--Crazy, Stupid Love was fairly entertaining.  He's money.  If you want a RomCom you can tolerate, men, this is pretty good.

Saw Super 8 and enjoyed it as well. The first half was more compelling than the monster/chase in the second half, but that's JJ Abrams. I was on the tail end of the Super 8 craze of the late 70s--had a friend try to make a monster movie with one of those cameras. It's too bad today's youth will never know anything about film.  People seem to love that instagram, though.

Descendants is one of the first Oscar Nominees I've seen. It's sad, but not depressing. Hawaii looks great and George Clooney is :love:  It's not as good as Sideways, but it's worth seeing in a theater.

Saw Super 8 and enjoyed it as well. The first half was more compelling than the monster/chase in the second half, but that's JJ Abrams. I was on the tail end of the Super 8 craze of the late 70s--had a friend try to make a monster movie with one of those cameras. It's too bad today's youth will never know anything about film.  People seem to love that instagram, though.

Descendants is one of the first Oscar Nominees I've seen. It's sad, but not depressing. Hawaii looks great and George Clooney is :love:  It's not as good as Sideways, but it's worth seeing in a theater.


Crazy, Stupid, Love surprised me by how much I actually liked it.  Gosling was awesome in it.

Just saw Take Shelter with Michael shannon, and it was really really good.  A really slow build, but it seemed like my heart was pumping fast the whole time, which is a compliment for a character driven drama.  Id say it was the best movie I've seen since black swan came out, def recommend.

just watched it. really great. so conflicted about the ending though. i mean i hated it at first but now i think i maybe don't mind it. i dunno. maybe watch it again or something.

Saw it this weekend.  Very enjoyable from a sit in a chair, don't think about anything & be entertained type of movie.  Laughed quite hard several times. Wife and I sat next to two women probably in their 70-80's and there was several times they were laughing harder than we were.   It was truly fun for all ages.

But anyway, I jumped on this thread to suggest "The Wild & Wonderful Whites"   Someone else that saw this please talk to me about it.   Good gravy that was weird.

Lots of chasing, bullet flying and shoot 'em ups. Ryan Reynolds and Denzel both had great characters. The plot was fairly simple, but the actors made it enjoyable.

The book is good.  Simplistic, and not with requisite level of "visceral, but the ladies love it" type stuff that I usually read, but it's good (not finished yet)...I will see the movie.


I watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night.  Was pretty good.  If they hadn't made the sex (and sexual violence) scenes graphic, I would have said it was not worth watching.  But, they did, and that was compelling stuff.

Planning on watching Tinker Taylor tonight.  This past Tuesday had a couple of good releases.

I have a theory about crying.  If you haven't done it in awhile, its hard to.  But if you do it once, you have the potential to start crying a lot more.  Know this girl who has dated and broken up with a couple guys.  Guys that pretty much didn't cry.  Then she would dump them and they would cry over pretty much nothing after that.

I cry easily at movies and then I cry later when I hear the song that was playing in the part of the movie that made me cry. Even my "band of teen vampire movie loving retards" makes fun of me.

I didn't get a chance to cry at the A&M game because I was forced to stay, freezing, in the parking lot during the 4 OTs.

I don't know what it is, I guess.  Just seeing everybody being completely full of bliss in complete unison is pretty neat.  You hardly ever get to see people so happy all at the same time.  It's a pretty unique phenomenon, really, and I love it.  Everybody forgets about their worries, just for a short spell.  When you pause and recognize it in the moment (which I always try to do) it's hard not to be a little overcome by emotion.

Watched it last night.  Some cheap laughs, definitely, but the cast is insane.  Norm Macdonald, Artie Lange, Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, Shooter Mcgavin.  Norm's delivery get's me every time.

Hunger Games was pretty good, especially Seneca Crane's beard.

i enjoyed this movie as well.

that seneca guy tho was the creepy guy from american beauty (my fav movie all time btw).

anyway, a guy i went to hs with roomed with that guy's brother at washburn.  he visted his brother a lot i guess, but i never got a chance to meet him, kinda sad about that.

anyway, the brother was a churchy youth minister or something, and my friend described his room as smelling of "stale cum".  pretty disgusting.

even I cry at movies and I'm an emotionless robot. never cried during a ksu football win. Guess I'm leaving, you guys.

I never really cry, but if a dog dies in a movie my eyes get moister.

I only cry after KSU loses. Why would you cry after a win?
I don't know what it is, I guess.  Just seeing everybody being completely full of bliss in complete unison is pretty neat.  You hardly ever get to see people so happy all at the same time.  It's a pretty unique phenomenon, really, and I love it.  Everybody forgets about their worries, just for a short spell.  When you pause and recognize it in the moment (which I always try to do) it's hard not to be a little overcome by emotion. 

It's kind of going along the same line as what Fatty was talking about in my sig.

It's' 2 and a half hours.  A lot of it is hard to keep straight, lots of names and stuff, and they speak in Swedish accents, but stick with it.

That's true, but unless The Real Housewives has a special feature where somebody's daughter disappears, one of the housewives is a mass murderer, and a goth chick is hired to solve the mystery, it just won't be the same experience.

Rotten Tomatoes agrees with you. Highest rated movie of 2012. It's just so weird, I don't know how to rate it. I think it will be one of those movies that even though it doesn't win a single award, for years to come people will tell their friends, "You never saw Cabin in the Woods!?! We're watching it tonight, no excuses." That's kind of what I think Inception will be.

I liked it. But only because of what I perceive as the director making a joke of his audience with the tangent he takes them on. Would not watch again, but liked because of the aforementioned. I also tend to like weird movies.

I thought it was very good, despite the horrible, horrible plot.

The entire first half of the movie was just a ridiculous bunch of crap.  Then, in the second half of the movie they kinda attempt to salvage the plot. 


The effects outweigh the ass rape of a plot that the put together.

I agree for the most part. Bad story and acting, but what's your problem with CGI? If it makes the movie look better then I'm all for it. I don't know why everyone is salivating over the movie, though. Does not compare with the Dark Knight IMO.

I think I notice cgi because of bad movies.  Watchmen and sin city have a ton of cgi too, but it doesn't feel cheap and cheesy, it just feels like an addition to the movie.  David fincher uses way more cgi than anyone realizes because it blends into the movie.

Tree of Life

Really wanted to see it, especially since my friend poetwarrior held it in such high regard.  I learned that sometimes movies, films, works of poetry, pieces of art, whatever, can get their head so far up their asses that it forgets where it is and can't see or explain anything.

Why not show dinosaurs for 20 minutes?

Great point!!!

This wasn't a movie.  I learned that some people call it "impressionistic."  Well, "impressionistic" is a nice way of saying that the movie doesn't make any sense at all, and will spend upwards of 2 and a half hours telling some kind of coming of age story about a character you have no reason to give a crap about.

Two thumbs down!

Tree of Life was weird, no doubt.  I enjoyed it though.  I enjoyed it for the fact that it was a movie(sort of??) that begs the viewer to ask the question, "why?"  Why is my time significant? Why am I here?  It makes the viewer ponder how lucky they are, for the fleeting chance of life, even if being lucky means you must realize how insignificant your life really is in the grand scheme of things that were, are, and are to come.
Title: Re: Recent motion picture viewing - Add your own!

And see I get the idea.  I understand that you're not supposed to "understand  it" and that it's supposed to help you become introspective.  But the thing is, I reject that as art. 

For example, if I go to an art gallery and see a pile of feces on a canvas, I'm going to be mortified and offended, and that won't change when the pretentious artist comes up to me and says "I know it's strange, but what does it say about human nature?"  If I go to a 2 and a half hour movie with a disjointed storyline, characters I hardly know anything about, and just absurd (artistic?) cinematography, I'm not going to call it art, I'm going to call it a waste of my time.

Apparently the director's cut is 6 hours.  6 hours.  If that isn't an example of directorial masturbation, well, I don't know what is.

Having said that, I'm glad you guys liked it.

A few things.

I can respect that someone wouldn't enjoy the slow pace, structure or tone conveyed by the form employed. It's not for everyone and it's something you must become accustomed to or be predisposed to. However, while some may find it distracting and confusing, others may see it as the near perfection of an art form, as I do.

Critiques regarding the weirdness or saying that it cannot be understood and that it is not intended to be understood are incorrect. I believe I correctly understand it. In general, it's about a family (especially a son, mother and father) and their place in the cosmos (which is not insignificant) and in relation to God, as well as a Christian understanding of nature vs. grace. I think that every frame intentionally supports these purposes, using additional material (light, sin, death, etc.) for clarity. A background with these subjects can help. I've seen it several times, but did not need to to form a basic understanding of what is occurring.

I cared for the characters immediately, I saw myself in them.

Feces on a table is not valid. The Tree of Life uses a form and means of expression that are valid, without pretension. And a director's cut does not officially exist and probably never will. If it ever does, it will be because footage was shot that would further aid the vision of the director.

Coriolanus?

Shame?

I think they could have gotten rid of the entire french animal cop part, and not have missed a beat...detracted from the movie, IMO.



Here's what I like, that one penguin going around talking like Captain Kirk and monkeys doing awesome crap.  Give me more of both of those.  Also, less hippo...she is terrible, just awful.

jesus christ you just rough ridin' nailed it. the only good french animal cop part was when she broke out of the jail and they were all like "well obviously it's the old hidden tunnel behind the poster bit...".

It was supposed to be a straight prequel, but there are a few things that don't exactly make sense. For instance, Alien takes place in 2031, and Prometheus takes place in 2093. But besides that, it's pretty much a prequel.

No idea. All I'm saying is I watched this movie a couple days ago, saw that, and assumed it was the year. It seemed like something they would establish early in the film, and that scene is at the 8:52 mark, so I figured it would make sense. I'm glad someone corrected me because it makes a lot more sense.

Oh yeah.  The phelps one definitely.  I know what you're talking about when you say they can really suck you in.

Last night, I couldn't sleep and watched both Phelps ones, one about white-supremacists in california, one about a prison, and one about las vegas high rollers.

the grey- i mean really pretty good. really liked the last half. somewhat bored w/ the first, but one was needed for the other. the ending oh man. great last 20 min.

prometheus- saw this in 3d imax. that made it great. would it have been even good at seth childs cinema in the reg vision. idk. idk.

21 jumpstreet- very enjoyable. would prob never watch again, but i enjoyed it. again...if that's what you're looking for.

Also, I like 21 Jump Street as well.  Gratuitous, but fun.

All motion pictures should be seen on a big screen with good sound. It helps them. Some have big screens in their homes, with good sound.

There are a lot of visual details in the motion pictures of Moonrise Kingdom that would not be seen, at all, on a small screen.

I will be attending the Batman trilogy marathon at the Ward Parkway AMC on the 19th, with Batman Begins starting at 6 pm finishing with the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at midnight.

It wasn't even that the movie's bad.  It's just too long and didn't engage me enough.  My recollection actually is that it's better than Dark Knight.  We'll see.

Never Let Me Go

Directed by the guy who directed One Hour Photo.  It has new Spiderman guy, Kiera Knightly, and girl from Drive.  Set in a society that raises test tube babies to be harvested for their organs in their young-adulthood it's sort of a sci-fi flick that follows the aforementioned three around. 

It is terribly tragic, but it was really good.  What they were getting at was beautiful.   

I'd give it ever recommendation i can.

Haha, that's right. I watched that movie like 10 times when I was a kid. Sadly, parents today don't find the movie appropriate for their sheltered kids.

THIS MOVIE HAS PROBLEMS YOU NEVER WANT TO ENCOUNTER
THIS IS A HORRIBLE MOVIE! Very inappropriate scenes and talk. Women are used as sex objects, and the main character watches a show dedicated to just that. One scene even includes the monster peeing in a bottle of apple juice as a prank (from the back side though). Bad language is used constantly throughout the movie. This includes p***, b*****, d***, s***, and others. Violent character RIPS KID'S HEAD OFF, after torturing him! Disturbing, violent, crude, inappropriate! Note to parents: Don't ever let your kids see this movie! KEEP THEIR MINDS SAFE. Don't let this horror into them. IT IS JUST COMPLETELY TERRIBLE STUFF!

Is it all it's cracked up to be?  Usually I follow Rotten Tomatoes (public, not critics) and they are usually on and they gave it good ratings.

Maybe I just keep thinking it's going to be like Super 8.

No, hopefully this isn't a spoiler because it was shown in the preview, but it shows someone struggling with what to do with super powers. And learning how to use them and stuff. I think both of these things are really interesting and haven't been touched on by very many movies.

I had time today, and I went to see it with one of my good friends, Jakesie60 (not actually his name in real life). 

That period of time where the two leads had exactly what they wanted really stuck with me.  What an era.  I bet the adult versions of themselves look back on that time fondly.  Good job, Wes!

Safe House is very meh. I couldn't really get into it, and there are a few obvious plot twists that made the climax pretty boring.

Oh, you know, that movie where no one likes Denzel Washington but he turns out to be morally sound and awesome?

I watched Moonrise Kingdom with Stevesie the other day.

We were talking after the movie ended, and I told him that I really like how the kids speak so matter of factly and sternly and in the manner adults would speak, but most of what they say is childish and cute.  I really liked it.  Edward Norton was pretty funny in a Wes Anderson way.  Like PW said, go see it if you have time.

I also watched Stranger than Fiction.

I liked it.  I didn't know that Dustin Hoffman was in it.  I love Dustin Hoffman - especially in Hook!

Saw "Moonrise Kingdom" last night.  It was delightful.  A little bizarre in a "typical Bill Murray movie" kind of way, but otherwise very enjoyable and fun.  Anybody else see it yet?

Very good film, and very typical of a Wes film. Meticulous art direction and dry, witty, humor.

Stranger than Fiction may be my favorite Will Farrell movie.  For someone who was in high school during his prime comedy years, I think that is probably pretty strange.  Dustin Hoffman is great.

Yeah, she might not be super-hot for a movie star, but ugly is a ridiculous statement.  95% of the posters on this board would be ecstatic to hook up with a girl that looks like her.  Including you, BTKKK Charlie Manson.

i spent all day at work today reading this entire thread. i wouldn't have spent it any other way. i'd just like to touch quickly on my most memorable movie viewings of this past semester or two.

i loved: midnight in paris, hugo, crazy stupid love, the hunger games, my week with marilyn, 50/50
i hated and just want to forget: the vow, twilight: breaking dawn (just the worst)

also, i had very low expectations for 'in time', but found myself surprisingly intrigued the entire way through. i thought the concept was awesome, and yes maybe they could've done a little more with it, but overall i was pleased.

i saw 'another earth' and really liked it. another movie with a fantastic concept. at first i hated the ending, but then after a lot of deep thought, i just loved it. after my introspection, the ending felt so right.

and finally, poet warrior, i have indeed seen 'spirit of the beehive', it was probably about 3 years ago. thought you might enjoy that a third person on the board has seen it. the symbolism of the film is just wonderful--a very haunting story connecting to a horrible period in spain's history. however, as far as enjoyability and entertainment value, that movie's completely awful.

i watched a movie in my dream last night, thought about posting the name of it in this thread, and then realized, while still in my dream, that it wasn't a real movie and i was dreaming.


does this belong in last night's dream thread, or recent motion picture viewing thread?
I think that belongs in the "I made an appointment to see my shrink because....." thread.

Saw lawless tonight, it was alright.   Maybe 7/10.  Kinda slow at times. Tom hardy is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors though.

Have you seen RocknRolla?

Yes.

i thought i'd watch 'salmon fishing in the yemen', because i really like emily blunt and ewan mcgregor. i should've expected it, but it was pretty boring. for the first hour & thirty minutes all they did was hang out in the yemen and do pretty much nothing. then they packed the last 20 minutes with all kinds of emotional stuff. it wasn't great, just okay.

I didn't even know Ball Jars were a thing until all this.  Went to the store looking for something like that and found those but in too small a size.  I had to have "Ball" brand jars.  You can only order them in paks of 12.  So, I've still got 10 unused ball jars.  I just gave one to a girl at the office that may be getting a cyst removed.

It wasn't easy.  Surgery was at one of the Via Christis so you're dealing with pseudo-nuns at the front desk.  I explained I was interested in getting it back if they were done testing or whatever, and I guess nobody ever asks.  Eventually they connected me to a dude in the lab who said he could get it back to me.  I go up there and he'd handwritten a release on a blank piece of paper and then gave it to me in this knockoff tupperware thing filled with ball and formaldehyde inside a walmart bag.  I waved to the nuns as I walked out with it, but was scared to mess with it until a buddy who was a doctor came to town with a bunch more formaldehyde and the willingness to help.  We got drunk and tried to put in a cookie jar that we realized was way to big.  Then he used a tootsie roll pop stick to wedge it into the formaldehyde tubes he brought.  Next morning, I learned of the ball jars and had them off amazon later in the week.

On some recent trans-pacific flights, I watched the following motion pictures, in order from best to worst:

1) Safety Not Guaranteed - pretty funny, kind of sweet
2) Five Year Engagement - OK for a rom-com, lots of f-bombs and dick jokes
3) Men in Black III - lots of action
4) The first 15 minutes of What to Expect When You're expecting (it was so awful I had to turn it off)
5) Lola Versus - worst movie evar.

Sleepless in Seattle - 2nd time watching it, my god what a classic. "Have you ever seen Fatal Attraction?" "No you wouldn't let me" "Well I saw it and it SCARED THE crap OUT OF ME!"

Watchmen director's cut - is there a cooler intro to a movie than "Unforgettable" followed by "The times they are a-changing" ? Answer: absolutely not.

pretty heavy on the dialouge and story. 2 chase scenes, and around 4 fight/battle scenes, IIRC. would probably say around 6 explosions? lot of deaths though. a guy gets eaten by a lizard.

Breaking Dawn 2 was surprisingly terrible.  I made my GF watch horror movies she didn't want to see in exchange for seeing Breaking Dawn with her.  I laughed at how dumb it was and ruined it for most the theater.  I know terrible movies making money isn't uncommon, but holy crap.

Really not worthy of deeper analysis. BUT to make a short story longer -- acting was wooden and horrid. Dialogue was really, really awful. But I liked the music and they managed to make Kristen Stewart look gorgeous, so some real Oscar worthy make-up.

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I adored the first book. #TeamEdward

Lincoln. 

Basically 3 hours of DDL acting.  Does an incredible job.  Should win an Oscar.  probably will. 

Story was good.  Never knew the theory that Lincoln intentionally delayed peace negotiations to ensure passage of the 13th Amendment.  i.e. many supported abolition if it meant the war would end, not out of morality.  Hence, if the war was already over before the House voted on the Amendment, not enough people would support abolition. 

good movie.  a little slow.  a little long.  again, basically DDL just doing incredible acting for 3 hours.

DDL as a borderline psychopathic dick (Bill Cutting and Daniel Plainview  :love: :excited:)?  Sign me up.  DDL as a well-known historical figure not considered to be a dick or a borderline psychopath?  No, no thanks.  This is where I stand on this issue.  That is not to say I don't, or wouldn't, enjoy DDL as a non-borderline psychopathic dick, but this isn't that role.

hey DDL, you didn't free the slaves.  lincoln did.  although in today's world with the internet, history can change just by swapping out a hard drive in your cpu.  in 200 years we'll all be reading about the slaves and the declaration of independance and thinking DDL wrote it.

Did you make it through?  Horrid movie, just terrible.   

Finally caught Bond tonight, last night in the IMAX before they make room for the new Hobbit movie.  Hobbits everywhere waiting in line for the midnight showing when I showed up at 7:30.  Bond was great.  I loved it.  Also loved that I did very little research on it before hand.  Javier Bardem stepping in as the villain was an awesome surprise. 

Great times.

Just got back from this movie.  I feel the same way.  Very, very slow starting out.

The worst part was the stoppage of play every 10 minutes for a huge heart-to-heart scene where they once again demonstrate loyalty, courage, honor, and kindness....over and rough ridin' over again with these face close ups....it was like a rough ridin' soap opera.  WAY worse than the Lord of the Rings....I didn't mind that stuff in the least during the Lord of the Rings.


The good part was that it was really amazing special effects.  The Goblin world scenes were some of the coolest I've seen. 


I'll stick with these and watch each of them going forward.

want to see the hobbit but jfc that's like a 200 page book and they have 9+ hours of film for it???  JFC.

It's a little over 300 pages, but yeah, I agree. There is a lot that happens in The Hobbit, though, and they added some things that weren't in the book to make the first movie more compelling.

I don't get it. Makes me mad. Doing it as a trilogy is just a flagrant money grab.

Yeah it is a flagrant money grab but dammit I don't care. Im going to do a flagrant torrent grab in 2.5 years when the bluray package comes out

That is a great synopsis and I agree about everything you said. Also imo, movie could have used more Christopher Plummer. Also more Shoshana smiling or talking or doing anything on camera

i was also like 25 when it came out so maybe i wouldn't have liked it in high school too.

TWBB was fine and DDL was really good in it.

I just think his portrayal of Lincoln was better. He's just really good, this would be his 3rd Oscar.

I saw Django and it was quite good, typical QT film.  However, I was surrounded by black people and sometimes felt guilty when laughing at some of the stuff, but couldn't resist.

Post by: Rage Against the McKee on January 01, 2013, 03:18:15 AM
Impossible. The fact that DDL did such an amazing job in There Will Be Blood with so little dialogue is unheard of. He did it all through facial expressions and demeanor, yet clearly conveyed his character.

high school dub dub did not enjoy TWBB. lack of dialogue may be why.

I didn't like it in high school either. Loved it when I watched it after college. Much like my relationship with The Great Gatsby.

I also have a far better appreciation for Gatsby than I did when I was 16. I'm pretty pumped for the new movie starring Leo.

Django Unchained was better than I even imagined. Loved the stereotypical Western movie feel that it had, just seemed so out of place since it was a black guy as the "cowboy". I thought it was more like the Kill Bill series than it was like Inglorious Basterds, despite it being more historical like IB was. Honestly can't praise this movie enough.

This is the funniest QT movie so far imo.

Django and Les Miserables both delivered. Django Unchained was the best movie I've seen in quite some time and I would probably have to say it's my favorite Tarantino flick. I would say that Samuel L Jackson should win best supporting actor for his role, but I'm a little bit conflicted as to whether or not he was better than Leo. Great acting all the way around in that movie.
Title: Re: Recent motion picture viewing - Add your own!
Post by: Stevesie60 on January 02, 2013, 11:12:59 AM
Samuel L Jackson was solid, but he wasn't asked to do what Leo was asked to do. Leo's role was much tougher than Jackson's.

Not that I think this should be taken into account when people vote for awards, but did you know Leo legitimately cut his hand? He wasn't scripted to do it or anything, just got carried away and broke a glass, then cut his hand on a shard. Didn't break stride, just kept acting and the cameranmen just kept rolling. They used the first take of that scene in the movie, and he had to get stitches right afterward.

OMG, you didn't see this before? You've missed, until now, Sean Penn's epic performance as Spicoli. Some of his best work ever and, I suspect, somewhat reflective of his life. Also, many think that Phoebe's swimming pool scene was incredibly erotic. I found it to be nothing more than a babe taking her bra off. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ok Mr Hotshot, if they are so racist towards wizardry, why don't they just freaking let harry go to Hogwarts so that he would be out of their house? Like they can't stand Harry around the house, but they don't want him to go to Hogwarts either? Stupid.

If Draco's family has a problem with Harry's family, how does that mean Draco is so mean and Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) all the time? People usually just avoid people they don't like.

this is explained in the book, noob. he goes to hogwarts during school, but while school isn't in session, he has to be at his aunt and uncle's because when he is in the home of family, he can't be harmed by evil people because of some magical spell crap. next.

This seems like some one-line-of-dialogue-in-the-book excuse J.K. came up with when people had the same problem with the aunt and uncle that I do.

I'd have to watch both for a second time to have a real opinion on it.  In hindsight, they are about even to me.  They certainly aren't bad or anything but I think my two favorite directors and one of my favorite actors in Joseph Gordon Levitt got my hopes really high on both.

Inception still doesn't make sense. Nobody who likes it can explain it to me. "We have to go deeper". Why? What does that accomplish? If it wasn't for the last 10 seconds, no one would have remembered it.

SPOILER: Looper was fun, it did a lot of things well. But like a lot of time travel movies, it didn't account for one huge flaw. oscar Willis would have never gone back if there was no Rainmaker. Since oscar Willis went back, there is no Rainmaker. So the entire premise is based on the makes of the movie praying that the viewers don't notice that.

And the Avengers was awful. Don't get me started on all the flaws in that movie. Okay, I'll give you the funniest one. "I can't control when I turn into The Hulk. It's whenever I get angry" - The Hulk. "I learned how to control it. I'm always angry" - The Hulk, 5 minutes later.

I like both, but probably like Inception more, purely because I saw it in theaters.  Also I think time travel has been done much better in movies than Looper. At least Inception's strange sci-fi concept that doesn't really make sense hasn't been beaten to death by Hollywood already.

Nothing in the timeline was changed until young oscar Willis shot himself. At that point, the mother was no longer shot because oscar didn't live long enough to go back in time to shoot her.

Any time travel movie has infinite holes.  I thought Looper did a good job of not getting to deep into the time travel, gave you a basic premise of it to accept, and moved on with the movie.  The more you try to explain it, the more holes you will cause.

Yeah, the whole idea of being able to travel backwards in time is completely Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but Looper did a better job than most of avoiding the holes. A machine that only travels into the future would be much more plausible.

Yes.  Or better yet, kill them in the past so they never exist in the future.  This is what the did with the rainmaker.  Avoid future event by altering the past. 

Granted, there would be a whole host of unintended, collateral consequences of killing people in the past.  But, it would have made a better movie to me.

Except for oscar Willis' wife. Apparentely it's easy to kill her and dispose of her in the future. Also, the fact that he took so long to get into the machine in the future should have absolutely zero effect on when he reaches a certain point back in time.

How we got to this point in time is very poorly developed and that throws off the reasoning behind a lot of things in the movie.

I've yet to hear a good explanation besides "JGL was in it, man!" for why Looper was a good movie. Crazy how it got such good reviews...

Doesn't even come close to a movie like inception or minority report as far as the story goes. Good thought to go outside the box with the whole time travel idea, but it was poorly executed. It should be called Looper because of all the stupid plot holes in the movie!

It's a good movie because it takes a necessarily illogical concept like time travel and creates an interesting story around it.  It also explores some pretty cool philosophical questions.  Also, the little boy is terrific.  It's got action and silly fun and comedy and heroism and tragedy and eye drugs and telekinetics and gangsters and it's all set in Kansas.  It's a damn good movie.

No crap there are plotholes in the movie about time travel.  It's a movie about time travel.  I'm sure you all sat around during BTTF II and noted all the necessary inconsistencies with BTTF I and hated the entire experience.

For the record, I'm not trying to say Looper was bad. It was slightly above "meh". I've argued with people who think it was crap. I know time travel movies are going to have a lot of plot holes, but there were more than necessary in this one. No one has explained to me why they needed to have the future Paul Dano come to the place where they ran the operation in order to kill him. Why not just kill present Paul Dano? You know? Although admittedly, that was an amazing scene. Just wish they could have made it happen in a way that made sense.

100% agreed. Amazing kid acting is so hard to make work, and when it does, it really makes the movie stand out. It's the only reason I liked Super 8, and the main reason I like Man on Fire, The Sandlot, and ET.
remember when we saw Moonrise Kingdom, Jakesie?  What a great afternoon.

Damn, that's the one I was trying to think of. Really made the movie. Would have been slightly under "meh" without great kid acting, but is probably "good to great" because of it. And yes, great afternoon. Even had an appearance from Purple Haze!

It's fun to see all the tie-ins to the Dark Knight that I missed now that I've seen Dark Knight approximately 20 times, and also the connections to Dark Knight Rises. But as a stand alone movie, it was pretty meh for the second time.

What are our true contenders for "Nolan movies that are good the 2nd+ time"? Memento, Dark Knight, and The Prestige? Any other nominees? Dark Knight should get a free pass, IMO.

it's not that they aren't good on 2+, it's that they just lose a little bit of goodness each time.

i've seen dark night 20+ times too, but now it's just a meh movie when it used to rough ridin' awesome.  inception was going the way of meh after 6-10 viewings, so i stopped watching it so it wouldn't start sucking to me.

Insomnia was much better 2nd time. DKR was much better 2nd time. Inception I saw like 4 times in the theater. 2nd time was the best. I will watch Following again and let you know about that one. Prestige gets better and better the more you watch it. You could say I am a full on Nolan fanboy I guess. I think Inception was the most  :horrorsurprise: movie I have ever seen.

The Dark Knight rises got better the second and third time I watched it. Agree with Jake (yay!) about Batman Begins, although that movie is vastly superior to TDK in the lady department with Katie Holmes. The Prestige is a very good movie and I could watch it at any time, but Inception I liked the first time because it was such a cool concept but the more I watch it the more meh it gets. If its on TV I will watch the last 45 minutes or so, but I really don't want to see all the crap before that.

JGL is a good actor and I like him in most of the stuff he's in, but like I said with Looper, just because he's in it doesn't make it a good movie.

I don't like the idea of making 3 new movies to begin with. I'll probably go see them, but I'm still mad about it. Abrams will probably do a decent job but lets be honest- these films will never been accepted as part of star wars in most fan's minds.

I think they will be accepted. The whole Disney thing will fade away soon and people will be jacked for new Wars. There is an extended universe that has developed in novels and comic books that can be drawn on to help with the acceptance. I know that I will be taking off work and waiting in line for the new movies as will ever other Wars fan.

I watch a lot of movies. There's a lot to like about movies.
Like I am obsessed with finding super long takes in movies. There are a few in Children of Men that are crazy. There's a very famous one in Goodfellas, and I love the one in Inglourious Basterds in the theater lobby before the premier.

Waiting... had a long one too.

interesting. 
Oooooh also the opening scene in Boogie Nights is extraordinary.

Post by: 'taterblast on January 29, 2013, 09:44:32 PM
It's a good movie because it takes a necessarily illogical concept like time travel and creates an interesting story around it.  It also explores some pretty cool philosophical questions.  Also, the little boy is terrific.  It's got action and silly fun and comedy and heroism and tragedy and eye drugs and telekinetics and gangsters and it's all set in Kansas.  It's a damn good movie.

No crap there are plotholes in the movie about time travel.  It's a movie about time travel.  I'm sure you all sat around during BTTF II and noted all the necessary inconsistencies with BTTF I and hated the entire experience.

i just watched Looper and this is how i feel. just an absolute fun watch.

Zero Dark Thirty was great. It was also fun reading the critiques from the CIA guys afterwards about what the movie got wrong, but I enjoyed the movie nonetheless. Better than Hurt Locker, and that's saying something. Definitely not the valentine to the Obama admin I was expecting; it actually makes the admin look pretty bad, so I guess it's no surprise why this didn't get broader release before the election.

Wreck It Ralph may be the best animated movie since Wall-E, and probably in the top 5 of the last decade. John Lasseter is a genius.

only watched the remake because i enjoy the original. I didn't have much expectation, but it was worse than i could have imagined. i will still probably, at some point, watch Dredd even though i expect similar results.

They film a lot of movies around here.   The next Iron Man was filmed here, Safe Haven was filmed here, it's coming out next week. 

I was looking at some Reality website, and a really cool house out on a private island was for sale, I thought it was the "Sleeping with the Enemy" house, but it wasn't, that "house" was just a movie set they built on down the beach a ways.

Quote from: movie synopsis
When a fleet of mysterious ships wage war against the Earth, only the crew of the USS Iowa, the last American battleship, can prevent global armageddon.

This is an excerpt from Dan's movie report, for the full review go to:

American Warships represents a technological leap for The Asylum, the CGI in this film is very good, by low budget standards of course, not distracting at all. I am basing this strictly on lower budget standards, as many asylum films and other lower budget films have much poorer often times wrenching 80s technology CGI.

The acting is acceptable, not going to win awards, but Mario Van Peebles (Capt. Winston), Carl Weathers (General McKraken), and Johanna Watts (LT Bradley) are solid in their portrayal of their respective characters. Quite frankly, I am a white male, and I like a diverse multi-ethnic cast in films. Nice to see the two underutilized veteran actors kick ass even if they are older now.

The basic premise is the same as the big budget version of the film, Aliens and the navy fighting them, the filming took place in Wilmington NC, and the shooting schedule was limited, but for what they came up with the end result is highly watchable.

General Carl Weathers! This movie sounds much better than Battleship.

That seems weird to me just because major releases tend to be the ones with major special effects and musical scores that may be better appreciated in a theater setting, while many indie films could be enjoyed to the full effect from the comforts of home.  I think you might be a movie snob and not know it.

Silver Linings Playbook - better than your average rom com. I liked the take on people who are just a little bit off. Both of the characters were very original, which is hard to do when you're trying to make them "crazy". I feel like a lot of times when they have "crazy" characters who the viewer is supposed to relate to, they just make them normal but have everyone else in the movie treat them as if they were crazy, even though there's really no reason to. They balanced the line of making them relatable, yet actually a little bit off. There was one thing about the movie that really pissed me off that I'm not going to excuse which is more of a spoiler: I thought it was cheap to have the cops show up every time Bradley Cooper did something wrong. That dude with the moustache showed up within 30 seconds of him acting up, every single time. What's he, always on duty? Does he always follow Bradley Cooper around every where he goes? That was obnoxious.

Safe Haven - Julianne Hough was of course great looking and actually did a pretty decent job acting.  It's a full on Romantic Drama, not much Comedy to be had.  Was better than expected,  Basically if you get dragged into seeing it you wont be bored to death or hate yourself.  BR's gf loved it, she put it one step below the notebook, which I havent seen, and from what I know is basically the pinnacle of chick flicks. 

My rec is to send a group of girls to see it while you  :cheers: with guys over a cats game Saturday.

Everyone who I've talked to pretty much hated Blue Valentine, but I thought it was brilliant. It was very raw, especially considering it wasn't too gritty of material. I thought the flaws that each of the characters in the relationship had were perfect for the story. They were something you would go into a relationship thinking you could get over, but something that added up over 5-6 years to just be unbearable. I thought the fights were great because you could see each side's argument and see why they were so pissed and beyond salvageable. Also, their daughter was perfect for the film. Her naivety to everything going on was perfect for a 5 year old.

I watched the new Die Hard flick on Sunday.  The movie was okay (good, not great) but ultimately forgettable.  Although, seeing a dude liquified by a helicopter blade was a plus (but that already happened in another oscar Willis flick called "The Last Boy Scout").

I also finally saw Flight and Perks of Being a Wallflower.  Flight was good (first five minutes had boobs/bush which was a plus) and I enjoyed it.  Perks of Being a Wallflower was suprisingly good.  They Psychology behind it was incorrect, but eff it.  Watching a bunch of emo kids be emo was worst the 1 dollar I paid at RedBox.

Confirmed.  This flick was great.  The same dude that did In Bruges did this flick.  Both movies are fantastic.

7 psychopaths was extremely disappointing for me, given how much I enjoy In Bruges.
I guess I was not expecting such a surreal, unsatisfying plot. Probably would enjoy it more upon a second viewing.

I watched Total Recall (2012) and it was pretty good, although it seems like they could have done a lot more f'ing with his head than they did. I haven't seen the original one, so can't compare.

Yeah.  You pretty much nailed it.  I think I let out a small "heh" a couple of other times, but I don't even remember what times they were so clearly they weren't that funny.  Oh well.  I've spent $1.50 on worse things, I think

Robin Hood Men in Tights.  Way better than the Princess Bride

Nazi's at the Center of the Earth - More entertaining than I thought.  If you want to see a Nazi UFO and Robo-Hitler, this is for you.

They should rename that rough ridin' movie to Zero Good Parts Until Last Thirty (minutes of the god damn movie), and even that's a stretch.

Last 15 minutes were good.  The rest was exhausting.

I loved it all except for a couple petty things. When he throws the ball and bends the field goal post, I thought that was pretty dumb. And I didn't care for all the cranes being lined up perfectly down the street he needed to fly through quickly.

The crane thing, although cheesy, definitely added a lot of depth to the rift between spiderman and law enforcement / the public perception of spiderman, so i think it was probably more acceptable than the field goal post bending.

Singer for pennywise was who it focused on the most, but had a lot of other people like mr.  Brett, tony hawk, art alexakis, mark hoppus, rancid, etc.   Really enjoyed it.

Wow.  I've watched a LOT of movies this week.  In chronological viewing order:

Chasing Mavericks:  YUCK!  Gerard, get it together, man.

Pride and Prejudice: Actually, decent.  Never read the book.

Tron Legacy:  COOL!  Never saw the original. Kind of want to now though.

Perks of Being a Wallflower:  To reiterate what most in this thread have said about the movie, it really is great.  I liked the movie much more than the book.  Teared up a few times.  What a kid.

The Master:  I really liked it.  Two great actors doing their thing.  Story seemed a little convoluted, but i think it did a good job of capturing that post-WWII era.  Joaquin's character was a really good character.  Real shithead, but i liked him.

Silver Linings Playbook:  Pretty good.  Don't know how it won best picture, but it was pretty good.  I enjoyed it. 

Life of Pi: Liked the book more.  The visuals were cool, but the book devoted so much time to interesting religious concepts that the movie just didn't have time for, and i couldn't help but think about how it was missing that aspect.  I bet i would've liked it more had i not read the book.

Gonna have some time to watch movies the next couple nights. What do you recommend movie experts and Dlew?

The last 3 movies I've watched were Perks of Being a Wallflower, Django Unchained, and Argo. I liked all of them very much. Kind of wish Argo was a little bit more like Black Hawk Down.

I love Black Hawk Down, so I will most likely like Zero Dark Thirty, right? Is that out yet?
maybe you should watch "Shut Your Stupid Face Up, Boston."

I watched This is 40 yesterday morning.  I liked it.  I'm a sucker for Judd Apatow movies.  Not really ashamed either.  I know the movies are formulaic and a lot of the joke/references are a little tired, but i still laugh and i still think he does a good job of pulling at the heart strings just enough.

i was pretty entertained, but didn't think it was anything all that special.  then Ken Taylor and Jimmy Carter said that 90% of the American heroics in that movie were Canadian heroics in real life, and i was glad i didn't actually give any money to the "come watch how awesome america is all by itself" scheme/lies.

Canadian guy I know is staring down the barrel at 40, and found the movie to be depressing in many ways.  You guys don't know him.

I thought the movie was ok but like 10000x more depressing than funny (closer to 20 than 40, unlike your Canadian friend).  like "not at all a comedy" levels

There are about 10 minutes of Zero Dark Thirty that are similar to Black Hawk Down, maybe more like 5.

It's such a weird movie. I'm glad I had no idea what was going to happen going into it. For the first 20 minutes you can't help but think about how ridiculous the whole thing is, but after that they make it all so believable. Emily Mortimer's speech to Gosling towards the in brings me to tears everytime.

It was the first time I've seen Javier Bardem act outside of Skyfall or No Country For Old Man. It's surprising how normal he looks. It was a very weird script, a few scenes seemed unimportant and out of place, but Bardem delivered one of the best performances I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure he had a small role in that Jamie Foxx/Tom Cruise movie. He was one screen for a grand total of 120 seconds.

Last seen - Seven Samurai, an absolute classic. But brace yourself, it's 3 1/2 hours long.

I think I'll watch Rashomon over the weekend.

There are only 2 or 3 Best Picture winners that really impressed me.  Then again, after going through the list, I realize I have only seen a dozen of them.  Might have to spend combo fanning season going back through and watching all the best pictures through about 1970, except Titanic.  The eff I am watching that shitbox again.

I still haven't seen the Godfathers.  It is just really hard for me to dedicate that amount of time to a movie.  Might try for one this week.  Jakesie, any added bonuses (details that it would help me notice) for doing both in a short period of time or just whenever for the second?
I watched both in a weekend a few weeks ago and it was really awesome to watch it unfold.  I suppose you could watch them separately, but watching them together was tops.

i don't think i felt one iota of intensity in that entire film. gov't guy was all "lets make a fake movie." other gov't guys were all "we don't have any better ideas." canadian guys were all "we are the real heros here but we are canadian and we aren't going to make a big thing of it." first gov't guy was all "i'm ben affleck."

completely serious. to compare that scene to the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is off base, imho. some directors have a knack for drawing anxiety out of the viewer. Kathryn Bigelow has it. Tarantino has it. Ben Affleck does not. Part of the reason is because he doesn't develop the relationship with the characters and the viewer. I found most of the people in Argo to be completely static and was unable to relate with their circumstance or the challenges they faced.

Agreed on the characters. But it worked for me for some reason. We didn't know the characters at the beginning of Inglorious Basterds, either. I really didn't think I would be alone on this. Maybe I just related with it because of my time in Uganda. Being the only white person in crowded places like that is pretty nerve-racking, even if you're not being sought out to be tortured.

Was in airports a bunch this weekend and watched:

1. Perks...Wallflower - was good.  Not amazing, but good.  Solid movie.

2. Argo - I really liked it a lot.  I also thought the airport scene was intense. The part where they are sorting out the tickets and especially the part where the plane is taking off were very good.

3. Django - This is QT's second best movie behind Pulp.  I really like the Jonah Hill scene, too. 

4. Zero Dark Thirty - I liked this one more than I thought I would.  Lots of ppl said that the movie kinda sucked other than the last half hour.  I disagree and liked how they basically reconstructed the way Maya progressed.

Don't think it has much to do with racial unease. For example, the 'straunt scene in Basterds where Shoshanna has to sit down with the persecutor of her entire family was extremely effective in building tension due to the actors themselves, the history of the characters, and the pace of the scene, among other things. Kathryn Bigelow seems to have a far greater control over the pace of her movies than what Affleck did in Argo. The entirety of the Hurt Locker is a demonstration in patience and drama. There are several other directors who have a fantastic grasp on this concept, but Bigelow is an easy example. Affleck seems to struggle with it in Argo, and, imo, fails in separating the idea of an action flick from one immersed entirely in drama.

I agree with everything you said, but I still think it was better than what you're giving it credit for. I'm not trying to convince you on that, because it's a matter of opinion. I'm not saying I agree with it winning Best Picture or anything.

I think Ben Affleck does a good job of consistently making B+ movies. The fact that he hasn't had any major flops says a lot about him. But I sincerely doubt he ever makes a grade A movie either.

im actually in the process of reading the book (havent seen the movie) but i can tell you right off the bat that time cruise, who is like 5'-8" tops, should not have played reacher, who is vividly described as like 6'5" and built. maybe dwayne "the rock" johnson and vin diesel were booked?

Vin Diesel is only 5'11". ALSO 45 YEARS OLD  :surprised:

I saw Pain and Gain (Michael Bay) last night.  One of the worst movies I have seen in 5 years.  Do not waste your money on this movie.  I honestly would rather have watched a made for TV Lifetime movie than this crap.  Best part of the movie was the trailer for Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Learn from my mistake please!
Yeah, it was pretty bad.

I watched This is 40 yesterday morning.  I liked it.  I'm a sucker for Judd Apatow movies.  Not really ashamed either.  I know the movies are formulaic and a lot of the joke/references are a little tired, but i still laugh and i still think he does a good job of pulling at the heart strings just enough.

Canadian guy I know is staring down the barrel at 40, and found the movie to be depressing in many ways.  You guys don't know him.

I thought the movie was ok but like 10000x more depressing than funny (closer to 20 than 40, unlike your Canadian friend).  like "not at all a comedy" levels
Same with Funny People. Apatow likes to eff around emotionally with the audience a little too much

Chasing Mavericks -  Not a great movie but enjoyed it. Really pulls at the old heart strings and a true story about surfer Jay Moriarity. Worth watching. Great surfing action.
Watched bits of this on a plane this spring.  Found it absolutely horrible. personally.  Seemed way beneath Gerard Butler.  Everything about it seemed absurdly cliche.  I fell asleep 3/5 of the way through it.

Real life is cliche at times.

One of Gerard Butler's better efforts.

I thought Iron Man 3 could've been better. The whole middle part of the movie where he goes to Tenn. to solve the mystery of the Mandarin and the terrorist attacks is pointless-the audience knows and we have to follow Tony around for 45 minutes or so as he connects the dots. The Mandarin was really cool though. Gwenith Paltrow got to kick some ass.  I liked the general gibe of the movie- most 3rd movies keep the plot rolling and hit you with action scenes one after another. With this movie, there's a mystery element along with your standard superhero journey of self-discovery, mixed with humor.  It's better than IM2, behind the original IM, and definitely not better than Avengers.

Same with Funny People. Apatow likes to eff around emotionally with the audience a little too much

He's been doing that since Freaks & Geeks.  He wrote or came up with the story for six of the episodes.  Five of those episodes have that "rough ridin' around with the audience emotionally" quality more than most of the others.  That said, I love Freaks & Geeks and most Apatow movies.

Saw it last night.  I don't usually watch superhero movies (didn't see the first two Iron Mans) or read comics so I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it was fun.  I liked it more than Avengers, which seemed to be one "WHOA THIS SUPERHERO IS FIGHTING THAT SUPERHERO NOW!" scene after another.

Ya, I just read a first hand account from a Delta team member about how they mumped that all up with the helicopters and so forth, or they would have snatched those fuckers out of there.

True story, the botched Iranian embassy mission was Delta Force's first mission after their creation, but ZERO of the eff up was theirs...rough ridin' navy helicopter ran into a C130 tanker plane in a sandstorm while hovering after it refueled.

    So i have to admit just watching this movie... when things got really unbelievable, i mentioned to those in the room that this was just "dramatization" that i had watched the first couple minutes of that youtube clip about  the actual incident and thought that was it...  so i went back and watch the whole clip/story... that it all actually happened like that.

    I love Strangers on a Train (as well as Rope), but Rear Window is on another level.  Suspicion would have been Hithcock's best if the studio (on par with Rear Window) if the studio didn't force Hitchcock to change the ending to a "feel good" ending as opposed to what it was supposed to be. 

    Also, In Bruges is a must watch.

    Two dudes meet on a train.  They talk about people they don't want in their lives and the idea of criss-crossing murders to get away with the crime loosely comes up.   The main character thinks it is all talk, but the other dude thinks the deal is done.  Stuff happens and it is a good flick.  From the sounds of it, you may not be into older movies (which was made in 1950).

    In Bruges may be more in line with what you like (which is all good).  If you do happen to like In Bruges, watch Seven Psychopaths as well.

    I saw Into Darkness this morning and I was fairly disappointed.  A lot of the minor things that bugged me about the last trek are in full force in this one.  The whole movie is geared to move from one plot point to another, and JJ has no regard for the scientific principles of the Star Trek, so the science is manipulated to fit the story. Yes I'm a trekkie, but seriously!?! One dude beams himself across several light years of space, but later on they can't beam people kilometers away? The movie is full of things not working onboard the Enterprise and the crew having to jump through hoops. Cumberbatch is good.  I'm happy this is JJ's last star trek. I'm hopeful his star wars won't be written by his buddies from Star Trek.

    I never watched Star Trek as a TV show. I enjoyed the first movie, and thought the latest one was even better. The opening scene showed great imagination, and I hope they touch on that more in the next couple of movies. Benedict Cumberbatch was amazing. It was weird to see him as someone other than Sherlock, but he absolutely pulled it off. I thought it was fun, though there were many plot holes and they tried to over dramatize a few scenes.

    i'm not a star trek guy and i also enjoyed the latest one, and the one before.

    there seem to be a bunch of funny/interesting things that only star trek people would understand, because at times the audience reacted to things and i had no idea why.

    Do you have to see the previous ones to know what's going on or is each movie it's own story line?

    Recent Blumpkin Movie bombs:

    Star Trek: Into Darkness - Meh, I liked the guy playing the villian and seeing Robocop is an obvious plus but it felt more ADHDish the more I reflect about it.

    God Bless America - Not bad.  Two psychos killing reality stars kept my attention.  It got a little preachy and the characters were not even possible (psychologically), but eff it...it was fun.

    Hangover III - Much like the Transformers redux trilogy, this should have stopped with the first one.

    Abduction - Blumpkin GF made me watch this crap.  I was waiting for the main character to turn into a wolf but that didn't happen.  I was hoping it would turn into An American Werewolf in Pittsburgh type movie, but instead got that crap.

    Also, Apocalypse Now was the best Vietnam movie i'd ever watched.  The Redux version was probably too long though.  A few of the scenes weren't necessary.

    Man, you just got me thinking of all the great Vietnam movies out there and which one is the best.  There are four obvious contenders: Apocolypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket and Platoon.  Hard to say but I might put The Deer Hunter as 1 and A.N. as 2.  Then round it out with Full Metal Jacket and finally Platoon.

    1 - Full Metal Jacket - It's just a great movie and I am a huge Kubrick fan.
    2 - Apocalypse Now (orig, not the redux) - Duvall, Brando and Martin Sheen.  Great movie.
    3 - The Deer Hunter - Freaking DeNiro is awesome in this movie.
    4 - Platoon - My favorite Dafoe flick.
    5 - Forrest Gump - Because We Were Soldiers sucks.

    Man guys, I really missed this thread. Some notes:

    Apocalypse Now is my favorite movie of all time, but I don't care about redux version. I'm glad everyone was talking about it.
    Jesse Eisenberg was a great Mark Zuckerberg, mostly because they both have Aspergers. He'll probably always be cast as someone similar from now on.
    Star Trek 2 was very fun, Benedict Cumberbatch took it to a whole 'nother level with his performance. LOL at crying during that movie, it was way too cheesy.
    Resevoir Dogs is great, mostly because of Tim Roth's scenes about learning how to be an undercover cop.
    I finally saw Perks of Being a Wallflower. Before seeing it, Django was by far the best movie I had seen from 2012. Now I have some thinking to do. I'm not sure if I liked Perks so much because of how much I related to some of the really complicated relationships it touched on, because of Emma Watson being so adorable, or because it was just a great movie. The director did a great job of manipulating your emotions with it. I can't imagine the book is better than the movie.

    I watched a bunch of famous directors' first movies. They're all on Netflix for any interested parties.

    Bottle Rocket by Wes Anderson - Probably his most accessible movie, and by far the funniest. My friend who loved it when it came out said no one else really liked it because it was so different. I think that type of comedy got popular in the mid 2000's with The Office and Arrested Development, so if you like those you should definitely watch it.

    Raising Arizona by The Cohen Brothers - Not their first movie, but their first comedy. Pretty fun to see how their signature touch has pretty much stayed the same, and John Goodman is pretty entertaining to watch as a younger guy. I didn't think it was as great as everyone had talked it up to be.

    Four Rooms by Quentin Tarantino (kind of) - Basically it's a movie about a bell boy's four adventures on his first night. They're all completely separate stories written by different people. The first story sucks, the second one is all right, the third one's really good, and the fourth one (Tarantino's) is really good and really Tarantino. He also plays the main character in it and does a better job acting than I thought he would.

    I strongly disagree. However the more people I discuss WA film with, the more all over the place I realize people's opinions are. There really isn't one unanimous best/most accessible/funniest/etc WA film.

    Personally I think Tenenbaums is the most accessible. Tough to say which is the funniest. I LOL throughout all of them (when I'm not  :bawl: of course)

    I watched a bunch of famous directors' first movies. They're all on Netflix for any interested parties.

    Bottle Rocket by Wes Anderson - Probably his most accessible movie, and by far the funniest. My friend who loved it when it came out said no one else really liked it because it was so different. I think that type of comedy got popular in the mid 2000's with The Office and Arrested Development, so if you like those you should definitely watch it.

     

    i loved bottlerocket when it came out and rented it more than once from the video rental store that used to over where bullchicks is now. also, a certain member of my fattyfest trivia team got his goEMAW bbs screenname from that movie.

    Are you trying to argue that it was well received when it first came out? Because it's pretty well documented that it wasn't. Hell, Owen Wilson strongly considered to stop acting since it tanked so bad.

    yeah, i have no idea how it was "received" and don't think it was ever in the theaters and if it was i'm sure it earned no money because no one had ever heard of the wilson brothers back then. what i am telling you is that a roommate and i rented it and loved it so much that we rented it again a month later. also you should see take shelter. michael shannon... man.

    Raising Arizona by The Cohen Brothers - Not their first movie, but their first comedy. Pretty fun to see how their signature touch has pretty much stayed the same, and John Goodman is pretty entertaining to watch as a younger guy. I didn't think it was as great as everyone had talked it up to be.

    Four Rooms by Quentin Tarantino (kind of) - Basically it's a movie about a bell boy's four adventures on his first night. They're all completely separate stories written by different people. The first story sucks, the second one is all right, the third one's really good, and the fourth one (Tarantino's) is really good and really Tarantino. He also plays the main character in it and does a better job acting than I thought he would.

    Holy crap, "the Misbehavers" in Four Rooms made me laugh so hard that I damn near hurt myself.  Antonio Banderas in a role like no other he's had before.

    It has elements of both.  At least the first half seemed to be more of an emphasis on tagging, specifically.  The second half seemed to focus more on how easy it is to exploit you LA art hipsters.

    "Man of Steel" has me very conflicted. The first half is like The Dark Knight trilogy, but the second half is more along the lines of The Avengers. I loved the first half. My biggest complaint about Superman is that he's too perfect, the only thing that can stop him is some bizarre element that no one's ever heard of. But the movie does a really good job of making him seem human and that he's overcome a bunch of bullshit to be Superman. But man, what a bunch of unnecessary action during the last 45 minutes of the movie. It really upset me.

    I am hoping to see both of those this weekend too.  Monster's U tonight for me as well.

    World War Z is getting good reviews.  I read the book (which was awesome) and the book is from the perspective of a reporter who was documenting the events way after the fact, by interviewing those who were there.  So, they had to change that up quite a bit to make it from the perspective of a single person who was actually at these events.....that's the part that I am the most curious about.

    World War Z was pretty good. Don't expect to see any scene from the book at all. Basically they took the concept of a world wide zombie outbreak and wrote a totally different story; which is not surprising considering how the book was written.

    Also, I don't recommend watching in 3D.

    I watched Martyrs today. It's a French horror movie from 2008. It is the most psychologically disturbing movie I have ever seen in my life.

    What do you think Anna whispered to the old lady?

    The Book of Revelations

    The Evil Dead reboot was pretty fun. It was an amazing premise when they originally did it, just sad that they had such a small budget. It's by far the goriest movie I've ever seen, but it covers ever aspect a good horror movie should have, including bad dialogue and acting.

    Also if you know much about the original series, make sure to watch the scene after the credits. If not, it's not worth it.

    Decent. 6.7 on imdb is accurate.   Kiera Knightley makes a lot of sad faces t/o and Steve Carrel is 40Yr Old Virgin character for 98%. There are some humorous scenes/moments/characters....but i guess it's more of a dark rom-com, heavy on the dark. good soundtrack.

    Don't take it too seriously and you will have a good time.  Plus, when I was pak'd with the bros later I got to use the line: "my jaeger would pound so hard on that kaiju."  Worth the price of admission for that clever quip.

    It really was great, and I'm glad that they skipped right into year 7 of the Kaiju war. I was kind of worried that the movie would be about some monster attacking the US and then having to sit through 1.5 hours of the world building a giant robot to fight it. It got right to the action and it was pretty badass all around.

I was kind of worried that the movie would be about some monster attacking the US and then having to sit through 1.5 hours of the world building a giant robot to fight it. It got right to the action and it was pretty badass all around.

    I couldn't agree more NK.  I was expecting a few monsters, but got so much more fallout from the years of these fights.  I also wasn't expecting to see the politics behind the "wall of life" which was actually intersting from a sociological stand point.  I am not trying to argue that this movie has some huge deep meaning, it was just unexpected.  Here is my advice: go in thinking it is an average at best movie and much on some popcorn.  The CGI is outstanding and just have fun knowing you are watching a movie about giant robots and monsters.

    My posts are clarified by asterisks, but they are not needed to discern the message.

    I have seen many motion pictures in 2013. Spring Breakers is many, many times better than Pacific Rim, which I hated. The way that it is described by most is totally incorrect.

    Spring Breakers has a purpose.

    i'm going to watch Cloud Atlas tonight, i think

    I enjoyed it quite a bit, blast, and I think you will too.

    *ProtiP* tho: I will tell you to ignore the fact that the same actors play different parts in each of the six storylines. It's distracting from what's actually happening.

    Cloud Atlas can only be admired for its scope and futuristic visuals. Try to link the characters/actors.

    I saw Pacific Rim on Friday night with the bros.  It was actually a good time.  I'm not saying the movie is for everyone, but I enjoyed it.  The plot is ridiculous, but so what?  Giant monsters vs giant robots has worked for many years so why stop a winning forumla (Voltron, Power Rangers, prolly a bunch of other stuff).

    Armageddon, Independence Day, Jurassic Park: if you liked any of these three movies, you will like Pacific Rim, nostalgia aside, they both contain the same soft narrative and week plot turns but are able to overcome them through sheer majesty.  I love a  good thought provoking film as much as the next gent, but i think i can lax my standards a little for the right movie.  If you want a glimpse into the human soul, i'm sorry but this isn't your movie. 

    For the record, gE has convinced me to try and watch Spring Breakers, despite my best judgment.

    Glad the Royals played a day game so I can focus my attention on Sharknado!!! It only took 20 minutes into the movie for Tara Reid to make her first appearance. She doesn't look a day over 40.

    Watching Sharknado right now. Maybe the greatest Ian Ziering movie EVER.

    When I saw the commercial my first thoughts were Clay and Jax from SOA.  Of cuorse I will see that movie!!  Also, when I am seeing a summer movie on a hot and hungover afternoon I just expect to be entertained with a little action/humor/hot chicks.  If it has some of each, even better.

    Saw Despicable Me 2 with lady BR because she really wanted to see it.  I hadn't seen the first one but would say its a pretty decent flicks.  Everyone's kids will enjoy it and you wont hate it  :thumbs:

    The bottom line, is that fracking is no more dangerous than conventional methods of hydrocarbon extraction... if i drill and oil well in your back yard and the drill pipe bursts, your water is going to get mumped.   In Gasland, every case they cited was an incident of improper drilling techniques, not fracking in and of itself.  Fracking is done at a depth far below groundwater... think of it this way, if stuff at that depth could get in your drinking water, you'd already have natural gas in it.

    The bottom line, is that fracking is no more dangerous than conventional methods of hydrocarbon extraction... if i drill and oil well in your back yard and the drill pipe bursts, your water is going to get mumped.   In Gasland, every case they cited was an incident of improper drilling techniques, not fracking in and of itself.  Fracking is done at a depth far below groundwater... think of it this way, if stuff at that depth could get in your drinking water, you'd already have natural gas in it.

    you're rough ridin' stupid and your argument has so many dumbass holes in it that i'm not even going to waste my time responding.  keep up the great work.

    Pissclams, everything he said is accurate.  The reason there is no state regs on fracking (there are some proposed and  will be enacted with support from the industry) is because mouth breathing neanderthals, such as yourself, watch propaganda hatchet pieces like gasland and then make idiotic and unfounded claims like, "all fracking contaminates drinking water and causes earthquakes", derailing any coherent discourse.

    Its a well completion method that's been used in the industry for decades. Only recently have leftist whack jobs taken notice and done everything they can to turn the term into a pejorative. Hz drilling is actually better for the environment because you only have one drill pad and vertical well (the only place where pollution would occur) instead of the 4-16 vertical well pads it would require to drain the same field.

    Basically, you need to shut the eff until you educate yourself, dipcrap.

    FWIW, if you like propaganda I suggest watching "Truthland" the rebuttal to gasland.  Decidedly one-sided, but void of the outright lies and misinformation that makes gasland such a convincing piece.

    Since every state with o&g production allows fracking (NY has a temp c&d on it bc they are retards) your statement "I can't believe Kansas even allows it" was Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  Not as Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) as the 'it travels across state lines" bit though,considering the average fracture is a couple hundred feet.

    I think the point of the doc is, GTFOOH with fossil fuels/gas

    I think you could certainly make that point, you definitely crack a few eggs making that omelette, even though hydrocarbon's represent far too large a portion of our existance to simply turn off, but the kind of proxy argument presented in the film isn't the way to go about it.

    he's talking about this-

    Quote
    The relationship between well performance and treatment pressures was studied by Floyd Farris of Stanolind Oil and Gas Corporation. This study became a basis of the first hydraulic fracturing experiment, which was conducted in 1947 at the Hugoton gas field in Grant County of southwestern Kansas by Stanolind. For the well treatment 1,000 US gallons (3,800 l; 830 imp gal) of gelled gasoline (essentially napalm) and sand from the Arkansas River was injected into the gas-producing limestone formation at 2,400 feet (730 m). The experiment was not very successful as deliverability of the well did not change appreciably.

    Also, I watched The Room on Saturday with the KSUBlumpkin gf.  I can confirm that this movie is still terribly bad but funny for reasons I can't explain.

    Sorry. I should have been more courteous. But really, you aren't in that movie for the plot. Maybe you are? IDK, i should have given a warning. Won't happen again.

    I know, that was the joke I was attempting to make.

    I saw Pacific Rim and World War Z this past week while I was still out of work.  Both were good.  Pacific Rim was better.  Kind of hoping they do a sequel.

    what's the sequel? now that earth doesn't have to worry about these Alien's anymore, countries use the Robots to fight their wars for them? or is it a prequel where the Alien's mess up their calculations a bunch and accidentally send monsters the sizes of hamsters to other planets?

    probably more aliens just open more portals. also i guarantee they will drift with monsters and mind control monster vs monster battles

    This but with the hamsters.

    I liked them both, probably the new one more than the first. The director said he wanted to show the stuff that normal horror movies cut away from, and he definitely did that. It's just fun because you're not cheering for anyone, you just want to see some crazy crap go down, and that's basically what happens. (I may have already posted a review very similar to this one).

    Has anyone watched "Religulous", made by uber-stud Bill Maher? PoetWarrior, your thoughts?!

     :surprised:

    Quote
    In Religulous, Bill Maher sets out to make you question what you think you know about God, telling you everything church leaders don't want you to know. He interrogates everyone from truck stop parishioners to pious scientists to visitors of a holy amusement park, poking holes in their beliefs by pointing out things like how the original sin isn't mentioned in the Bible or how the Christ mythology is eerily similar to other ancient religions.

    Man, that's some incriminating evidence right there. How come the entire Catholic church hasn't collapsed under the weight of this one documentary?

    The Fallacy:

    All this "Jesus was copied from earlier religions" stuff has been going around the Internet for a while, and it will make you look awesome if you post it on a Halo message board, but none of it is true. The Egyptian links have been debunked by actual Egyptologists.

    That's ancient Egyptian for "bullshit."

    Let's start with the "virgin births" part: You've gotta make some pretty big logical jumps to claim that any of those earlier gods were born from virgins, having come from a mother seven times over (Krishna), some freaky necrophilia (Horus), and a rough ridin' rock (Mithras).

    Then there's the resurrection thing. Contrary to Maher's claims, Mithras was never resurrected, and the older versions of the guy's story don't have any of the Jesus similarities -- those came about in the first or second century A.D. (that is, after Jesus was born). Horus, like Mithras, was also never resurrected, didn't have 12 apostles, and didn't raise Asar from the dead (which doesn't translate to "Lazarus" even a little bit). There isn't even any record of a figure call Anup the Baptizer; the closest we come is Anubis, the god of embalming, which astute readers will note is a leeeeeetle different from baptism.

    Oh, by the way, original sin is totally in the Bible, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a scholar who disagrees with the overwhelming evidence that a person (not necessarily a divine being) matching Jesus' description existed during his purported lifetime. So where did Maher get all this crap? Probably from the viral "documentary" Zeitgeist (which doesn't cite any sources) or, and this is a serious possibility, the rough ridin' Da Vinci Code (which is about as historically accurate as the movie Splash).

    None of this means the Christian Bible is right or that it represents the one true religion. But if you think something is bullshit, the answer is not more bullshit.

    I concur, i thought it was a very fun movie, its a shame they did such a piss poor job advertising it (does anyone remember when it was actually in theaters?) and the option on the movie for a sequel didn't get hit.

    I also just finished watching Trance... definitely kept you guessing, though it was tough to get really engaged into the movie when the premise of hypnotherapy is BS... i had the same problem watching Oldboy, fwiw.  Though i liked both films.

    Anyone seen this that can give an adequate review?  Or any other movie that's good and out on DVD/TV/Netflix.

    I'm about to rewatch 28 days later since it just came on.

    Ehh, if you watched it on Netflicks, you wouldn't hate yourself for it.  But i wouldn't pay-per-view it or anything... the whole plot centering around quacky hypnotherapy felt cheap, but still good acting an story arch.

    I likes Place Beyond the Pines, but it seems to drag, its essentially 3 short films, loosely related, butted up against one another.

    Watched Sharknado last night and I have a few thoughts:

    1.  rough ridin' awesome.
    2.  "Sharknado 2 the Second One" is a great title for the sequel
    3.  "We're gonna need a bigger chopper."  Best line of the movie.
    4.  Ian Ziering should have been the next Batman.
    5.  This would be a great movie to watch before a football game.  Can you imagine if you put four or five gE elites in a room watching this movie?  crap's gonna get real.
    6. Sometimes special effects can be so bad, they actually make the movie.  This is one of those instances.

    I know right.  It's shocking that scientists have not tried this before.  Some propane, a timer and a flare.  Poof, instant sharknado repellant.

    True story, I was in LA about 10 years ago at a party and I saw Ian Ziering.  I was too afraid to say anything to him.  If I ever see him again, I will not make that same mistake.

    Definitely seemed weird for a minute, but I think it's a testament to their abilities as actors that I forgot all about that pretty quickly. I think Steve Carell is pretty underrated as a serious actor.

    Should have been called This Is Terrible.  It was less funny and more depressing than i though it would be.  There was no real plot development but just a bunch of one liners that sort of led to the eventual finish of the movie which by the way was supposed to be a feel-good ending but in reality the characters lives will continue to be as shitty and semi-depressing as the rest of the movie.

    Should have been called This Is Terrible.  It was less funny and more depressing than i though it would be.  There was no real plot development but just a bunch of one liners that sort of led to the eventual finish of the movie which by the way was supposed to be a feel-good ending but in reality the characters lives will continue to be as shitty and semi-depressing as the rest of the movie.

    i think i posted this a long ways back, but def not a comedy

    I think one thing we can both agree on is that if the movie was made somewhere between 1989-1998, it would have starred Harrison Ford in the Jackman role.

    Prisoners was alright, probably could wait for the DVD. It needed more Paul Dano, who is probably the best current actor under the age of 40.

    I saw it.  Not bad.  I agree on the over acting thing.  Also, could have been shorter.  Also, what was the deal with the plot line that he was kind of a survivalist?  It had no relevance like, ever.

    Yeah, I thought there were a couple storylines that really didn't add anything. Just twists thrown in there for the sake of being twists.

    Think it was supposed to be how he was always prepared for everything and always told his family that they were safe no matter what and he pretty much dropped the ball.

    I went to it tonight and it was kind of weird getting in my car and driving after watching the screen spin around for about 80 minutes straight during the movie. I felt kind of dizzy. It was a great movie, though. It beat out Pacific Rim for best of 2013 so far, imo.

    Just got back. See it on the big screen or don't bother. I hate 3D but it's required. It's crazy to see a movie that big be in (basically) real time. Story wasn't excellent, but visually it is just so amazing.

    Chernobyl Diaries.

    Just awful.  The characters were stupid and annoying and unlikeable and they didn't even work in a gratuitous tit shot of the blonde.  I was actually happy when the mutants and the radiation started killing them off.  Pretty good idea for a movie but the execution of the idea was poor.  The scenery was decent tho, I believe the movie was filmed in some abandoned towns in eastern Europe.

    heard some guys talking about it on the radio, but i haven't seen it.  they seemed to think that it was a mixture of enlightening and bullshit.

    Quote
    In a March 27, 2013 article in The New York Times, Leon Vitali, who served as personal assistant to Kubrick on the film, stated "There are ideas espoused in the movie that I know to be total balderdash"; for example, the documentary's theory concerning a poster of a minotaur is in fact referencing a poster of a skier and the film's usage of a German typewriter, interpreted to be symbolic of the Holocaust, was chosen by Kubrick for pragmatic reasons. He concluded that "[Kubrick] didn’t tell an audience what to think or how to think and if everyone came out thinking something differently that was fine with him. That said, I’m certain that he wouldn’t have wanted to listen to about 70, or maybe 80 percent [of Room 237]... Because it’s pure gibberish."[18]

    Disagreements (although I agree with you on most of it):

    1. I understand that Citizen Kane is regarded as the best movie of all time. I think the directing is the best that has ever been done, and considering the time, the acting is right up there. But at some point when you're reviewing movies, you have to take into account entertainment value. And Citizen Kane is straight up boring. I watched it twice in one week once and there are maybe two scenes that I found entertaining, and I'm not cool with that.

    2. Glad we agree on "The Searchers". Did you know it was the main inspiration for the final 10 minutes of Breaking Bad? Pretty cool.

    3. It's hard to find an argument against "Psycho" being the "biggest" movie of its time. Main character being killed off early, a killer who's an "average guy", but the biggest thing is that before that, movie theaters played movies on repeat and the viewer would walk in and watch it from wherever it was when they got there "Psycho" was the first movie to have a set start time that people were in the theater for because Hitchcock didn't want to ruin the ending.

    4. Therefore, "Psycho" is way better than "The Shining" and I'm pretty upset you don't agree.

    5. "Chinatown" may be the most underrated classic movie of all time.

    I'm a kubrick fanboy, and the shining is just so damn kubrick.  Anthony Perkins is like perfect in psycho tho.

    About citizen Kane, it felt like a modern movie and it was made 70 years ago.  I didn't find it boring in the least.

    Also add;
    The thin blue line:  a   (I could fall asleep to this movie every night, I love the soundtrack)

    Stevesie seems like he knows what he is talking about, but there is no way people just walked into the middle of movies and stuck around to watch the end then the beginning right after that. Psycho was like 1960. There were movies with twists and important endings before. Like, IDK, Citizen Kane for one.

    i'll take his word for it. i just have a problem saying one movie is better than the other for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual movies themselves. but hey that's just me, private citizen rick daris.

    Post by: mocat on October 17, 2013, 08:07:15 AM
    Stevesie was exaggerating a little bit. There were always start times, but Psycho was apparently notable for not letting people in late due to the early killing of a character, not a twist ending.

    Quote
    The most controversial move was Hitchcock's "no late admission" policy for the film, which was unusual for the time. It was not entirely original as Clouzot had done the same in France for Les Diaboliques.[108] Hitchcock thought that if people entered the theater late and never saw the star actress Janet Leigh, they would feel cheated.[30] At first theater owners opposed the idea, claiming that they would lose business. However, after the first day, the owners enjoyed long lines of people waiting to see the film.[30]

    -I nearly died laughing a couple times during This is the End, but after the first 20 minutes it slows down. Franco/ Kenny Powers jerking off scene was probably the funniest thing ever though.

    -Citizen Kane is a bit boring; I probably need to re-watch. See Casablanca if you never have, though.

    -Saw Bernie last night. The beginning is sort of why am I watching this, but it gets good in the 2nd act. Still a little overrated. Seems like the story wasn't completely truthful to the facts, but it is close.

    -The people vs. George Lucas--really fun to watch for Star Wars lovers.

    -Rush was awesome, as expected. Best racing movie out of Hollywood ever. Vintage F1 is so cool because for the most part, Americans know nothing about it.

    -The Searchers is in my queue because of the Breaking Bad connection. Looking for suggestions of other old Westerns that would be good to watch.

    anyone have other scary movies that I probably haven't seen..(no weird foreign language bull crap asava)

    Do you like "make you jump" scary or "something that haunts you the rest of your life" scary?
    I enjoy both but currently more into the latter.

    "The Conjuring" has haunted me these many months later. Had to buy a sleep mask. ...
    saw it. was pretty good!

    the last two I've watched were sinister and the woman in black.. BOTH had the potential to be amazing especially woman in black but they were both just seemed to rush and get over the ending. which left a sour taste for the overall movie

    I also got around to seeing Gravity 3D over the weekend.  What an experience....the visuals were stunning and for me the movie ended up being more emotional than I would ever have anticipated.  The filly I took was crying at the end.  I had to sit there for a couple of minutes while the credits rolled just to let my emotions reset.

    I'm a prude when it comes to my boners apparently.  One boner per man per film is how it's always been.  I've only seen it once tho and the thing I remember about that scene most was the German guy who figures them out.  I thought that guy did a pretty darn good job there.

    He was the best in that scene.  I just watched it on youtube and it is confirmed.  The reason I remembered him is on account of his being the A #1 actor in that scene.  Good to know there's nothing wrong with my boners.  Our man Fassbender of course was a very commendable A #2, which I noticed upon reviewing.

    Well Malkovich and Brolin were in it and they were rough ridin' awful as well.  I generally like those two.  It was one of the worst movies I've seen maybe ever.

    I wasn't trying to clown on anyone.  It just turned out there are people here who actually like the show.  Collateral damage I guess.  I have since learned that I can have that show on as sort of background programming while I do other stuff and I'm okay with it.  I can also fall asleep to it.  It isn't as bad as I thought it was when I did that is what I'm saying.

    1. the production is top-notch and at the time it was the most expensive thing ever made for TV (Tom Hanks and Spielberg used many of the same sets and other production items from Saving Private Ryan)
    2. the writing is fabulous
    3. the acting is fabulous (see all the actors discussed earlier)
    4. the storyline is great because it follows 1 army airborne company throughout the war, and this particular company happened to be put in the absolute worst/most legendary events of the war in Europe (Normandy, Holland, Battle of the Bulge, liberating the Eagle's Nest, etc), and it's all true, right down to some of the wounds each guy received. At the time many of them were still alive and their interviews start each episode.
    5. It's 10 episodes, so the character development is unprecedented for a war film.

    *please dont be the moment where you tell you us hated SPR*

    No, there were many parts of SPR that were incredible/mind-blowing.  There were some choices made with the character development that really put me off tho. 

    Like Matt Damon bawling out of nowhere at the end of the last battle and Tom Hanks basically committing suicide and old pot belly Matt Damon breaking down at the end and making his wife tell him he lived a good life.  "Tell me I lived a good life! :bawl:"  I wish she told him to stop being such a pussy or said that well up until this moment you had, fp.  Matt Damon's brother story was rough ridin' awful and the feigned enthusiasm/laughter for it seemed so phony.  I really felt at that moment I am watching people act here.  Terrible. 

    Most of that made me hate Matt Damon's character and wish he had died in the film in a really gory, maim-y way.  "Oh Matt your leg is off, oh you're bleeding out, let me comfort you bud, oh you died, welp."  Maybe I was supposed to hate him tho.

    Inglorious Basterds is my favorite movie.  Fassbender is great, but so is Waltz and so is Pitt and so are all of them really.  I fell in love with Shoshana in that movie. 

    BoB is good too.  Definitely worth the investment.

    And Bread's BBT analysis is spot on with me.  I used to make fun of BeantownCat for liking it and then i watched a couple of episodes and felt bad about making fun of him so much because it's really not so bad. I watch it occasionally.

    The Pacific makes for a worse plot, in the traditional sense, because so, so many of those poor bastards got killed so quickly.  A far, far worse experience than what the guys in Europe went through.  Literally hell on earth.  The guys in Europe at least got to try and bang chicks and stuff....the Pacific was just one big suck.

    I tell this story a lot, but my grandfather was wounded and sent home from Guadalcanal relatively early...he was stabbed by a Puerto Rican guy in his unit over a dispute.   True story.

    Please elaborate.  Also, how did the main ghost's backstory grab you?  Compelling?  Or more like incredibly simplistic and nonsensical?  Also, also, did you find the depicted age of the ghost strange at all given the backstory?  Triple also, did the small number and random selection of prior victims seem inconsistent given the sizeable time frame and alleged motivations of said main ghost? 

    Don't get me wrong the scares were good, but man that backstory.  So generic and unimaginative.  Really eliminated the possibility of any deeper psycholigical disturbing of the viewer from the film.  Cheap really.

    Pay attention to the main ghost's backstory and then discuss here please. :Ugh:

    First off, let me say I'm not hopping on the "be a dick to Mr. Bread" bandwagon because it made me really sad to see when that happens. But I'm going to have to say that for the horror genre, I kind of like when you don't know the villain's intent. It adds mystery and the more that's left up to the imagination the better I think it is. I just watched Paranormal Activity 3 and I thought the best part about it was you never see the main antagonist or really know what's going on. However, I have not seen The Conjuring so maybe Mr. Bread and I agree on this and there is just a glaring overlook on that movie's part.

    Thinking about watching The Conjuring tonight.  Got good reviews, does it live up to them?

    How was it? Probably going to catch it tonight.

    It was bad.  The backstory is half-assed nonsense.

    Well, since I don't really value your opinion I'm going to watch anyways. But if it sucks you can say "I told you so".

    Hmmm, seems a bit fuckface-y, but it happens.  Maybe Dub will get back to you.

    I enjoyed it, combines a lot of horror subgenres.  Didn't realize the dude from Office Space was in it though, so had to get over that.

    Please elaborate.  Also, how did the main ghost's backstory grab you?  Compelling?  Or more like incredibly simplistic and nonsensical?  Also, also, did you find the depicted age of the ghost strange at all given the backstory?  Triple also, did the small number and random selection of prior victims seem inconsistent given the sizeable time frame and alleged motivations of said main ghost? 

    Don't get me wrong the scares were good, but man that backstory.  So generic and unimaginative.  Really eliminated the possibility of any deeper psycholigical disturbing of the viewer from the film.  Cheap really.



    SPOILERS:






    My point about the combined subgenres (might be wrong wording) was that they used a lot of typical horror storylines but had an interesting way of combining them (Exorcism/church/possession, little ghost kids that started with the ring, haunted house, clairvoyants, true story premise with old footage, etc.)  Not saying it added or subtracted from the film, I just thought it was an interesting take on familiar plot lines.

    That being said, I'm not sure why your so bent on the ghost's story.  It's not a psychological thriller, it's a horror movie.  It seemed like the backstory set up the story they were wanting to tell.   Woman back in the day sacrifices her kid to the devil after getting in dark practices and then eventually kills herself and it damned to curse the land she owned. 

    Small number of murders? It showed that they found a bunch of neighbors had died on the same land that had been split up in previous years and told the story of the previous mother who killed her child in the house.

    The ghosts age?  I'm not sure what the hell your talking about, it's a rough ridin' ghost.


    If your really looking for plot line holes in a horror movie, I suggest you stop watching horror movies.

    The Nazi movie was at redbox and I am pretty sure it was made by the company that puts movies in redbox and hopes they get rented by mistake.  "Hansel and Gretel: Get Baked, I think that's the Hansel and Gretel movie my boyfriend wanted."

    Anyways, there is a giant robo hitler and a Nazi UFO.  That puts it two up on Identity.

    Hah, saw it.  They did a great job using trailers to play people, but pretty solid flick.   Don't think I'd consider that the standard horror flick though.  There are a few that go outside the general realm of horror movies, and even fewer that do it well.

    Small number of murders? It showed that they found a bunch of neighbors had died on the same land that had been split up in previous years and told the story of the previous mother who killed her child in the house.

    The ghosts age?  I'm not sure what the hell your talking about, it's a rough ridin' ghost.


    If your really looking for plot line holes in a horror movie, I suggest you stop watching horror movies.

    First, her backstory.  She marries a farmer and he builds them a house on his land.  She gets knocked up and in order to be a better witch, she sacrifices her baby.  He catches her doing it.  I'm fine with all of this so far.  Here's where it goes off the rails into cliched nonsense--->

    She runs away from him and to the nearest tree, apparently grabbing a rough ridin' rope along the way, then climbs it and rough ridin' hangs herself.  But before doing so, she specifically curses her land and anyone who tries to take it in the future.  They actually said that btw, take it from her.  Setting aside why the eff she wouldn't have just offed the husband being such a hardcore Satanist witch and all, why the eff would she have such an attachment to the goddamned land?  It's the farmer's rough ridin' property and he built the rough ridin' house.  Now suddenly it's rough ridin' sacred to the suicidal witch.  Lazy bullshit writing. 

    You want a good rough ridin' backstory have the husband catch her and then he and the townsfolk do some really sick retributive pseudo-religious torture-murder action on her during which she starts throwing out some curses with real juice behind them.  Beat her, burn her, starve, mutilate, rape, crucifiy, whatever just give her some more ammunition to hate blindly.  It's isn't at all difficult.  Yet they gave you random baby muder, impromptu tree and rope self-hanging and then a rough ridin' land curse.  Absolute crap, but you're rough ridin' thanking them for shoving it in your face and asking for seconds.

    Next, past victims.  She had a fat mom kill her son.  Fine, makes sense.  Then forces a maid to commit suicide.  WTF?  Not a goddamned land owner and not a rough ridin' mother forced to kill her child.  Nonsense.  What about the maid's employers, you know the rough ridin' land takers she rough ridin' cursed?  Ope, nothing.  They're rough ridin' fine because this is rough ridin' crap writing.  And no, dumbfuck, there weren't a bunch of neighbors, there were two rough ridin' kids and a rough ridin' maid.

    Last, "The ghosts age?  I'm not sure what the hell your talking about, it's a rough ridin' ghost."  Yes, indeed.  She rough ridin' killed herself shortly after giving birth for the first time, yet she's this hagard old rough ridin' lady ghost.  What the eff did she age after she died?  Of course not, it's a rough ridin' ghost.  All the other ghosts were the same rough ridin' age that they died.  The rough ridin' kid ghost wasn't a rough ridin' adult now.  She wasn't a bitter old crone witch, she was a young mother witch.  Make her monsterous and gross?  rough ridin' sure.  An old goddamned lady?  Hackneyed bullshit and you're just slurping it right up.  Slurp, slurp, slurp says dumbfuck Dub can't get enough shitty writing. 

    Oh, but it's a horror movie!  Set your brain to dumbfuck setting then folks.  Can't expect any imaginative writing in a goddamned work of ficition.  Can't criticize this genre.  Above rough ridin' reproach.  It's people like you that encourage this crap.  A rough ridin' idiot who wanted to scream a little.  You can have both quality writing and scares.  They aren't rough ridin' mutually exclusive.  We can have it all Dub.  #RealmOfReality

    My god man, relax.

    The ghost looked of child bearing age to me with additional ghastly appearence.   And yes, there were neighbors.  When doing research on the lady they talked about how originally the land was much larger, but it had been split up into numerous land plots now and there have been numerous deaths on those neighboring plots as well (and didnt go further into it).

    I don't think she ran and hung herself spur of the moment like you make it sound, from the way they made it sound she hung herself a few days after she killed her kid.   And 'her' land.. if you buy a house and then get married to someone, does your wife not now consider that 'her' house too?

    Set your brain to dumbfuck though! Get crazy into details that are left unexplained to ruin the plot for yourself!  Don't enjoy movies that have plot holes!

    Beauty in the beast the prince was cursed when he was 11 years old... so how are there pictures of him being a grown man everywhere???

    Humans cant figure out anything about the alien intelligence in Independence day but somehow realizes exactly how to create a trojan and implant it into their mainframe to take them down?? What???

    I thought that the movie glossed over just about everything. It was like they just took some key scenes from the book and then shot them, but skipped almost everything in between so you really didn't have any sense about why anything was happening unless you had read the book for context. The movie would have been a whole lot better if they would have made it about an hour longer and spent a little bit of time developing some of the characters.

    Wow.  A very convoluted story line and characters i didn't really know.  But boy, was it intense.  There was a part during this movie that scared me worse than I can ever remember being scared during a movie.  Also adds a nice little bit of moral philosophy that you and your friends can talk about after the movie ends.

    Mystic River

    Generally pretty meh.  Another super convoluted story that worked worse than Gone Baby Gone's, IMO.  Penn did a very good job, but I really didn't like his character on a personal level.  There were a few loose ends that the ending didn't tie up for me either.

    First of all, I understand that the ending was supposed to be sort of open ended. However, if that was the case, then why bother with the epilogue at all?  Why not just end it after Penn kills Robbins? 

    What was the deal with the Kevin Bacon's wife storyline?  Is it just a "see, they all had emotional issues stemming from the molestation"?

    Where does Tim Robbins' wife go from here?

    Does Sean Penn get his just deserts for killing Tim Robbins?  Who gets prosecuted for that murder?

    also, 8mp, quentin has only directed 7 movies, so it's good to hear j-brown cracked your top 5

    Actually, aren't there 9? Your 5, Kill Bill 1&2, Death Proof and Grindhouse?
    Grindhouse is the same movie as Death Proof, the former being the name for the double feature co-produced with he and Robert Rodriguez, KB1/2 are essentially one movie.

    Watched Moulin Rouge again last night.  I really bet I've watched that movie 50 times.  Found some plotholes on this watch though that I found kind of disappointing.  It was my roommate's first time watching it and he basically revealed that Harry Ziegler was a total bad person!  I'd never really given that any consideration.

    How had I never noticed "Christian" and "Satin" before?!  :surprised:

    If you count Kill Bill 1 & 2 as the same movie, it might be my favorite. Such an amazing concept, mixing eastern and western stories, that very few could make work. And the Superman speech. :love:

    Last night I watched the cinema genius that is Real Steel on FX.  After watching, I went through my movie scoring system and realized that Real Steel is the best movie ever made.  The scoring system I use for all movies is listed below, as well as the score for this cinematic masterpiece:

    Acting (out of 5): :star: :star:
    Plot (out of 5): :star: :star:
    Directing (out of 5): :star: :star:
    Robot punching a bull in the face (out of 10): :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

    Please note that the last category is more like pass/fail and the previous categories received a bonus star for each categories role in the scene where a robot punches a bull in the face.

    Ender's Game kinda sucked. First off Bonzo shouldn't have been a midget, I think without even a cursory knowledge of the book that it was obvious that Bonzo was supposed to be an older, larger kid who should be able to kick Ender's ass. Also, Bernard and Ender really hated each other, and the movie doesn't do crap to explain that. The first 2/3 of the book is basically battle room scenes, and the strategy in the battle room is part of what really made the book interesting, it seems weird that there were only a couple of scenes dedicated to that part of the story. No Valentine and Peter basically at all. If I had not read the book, then I would have had no idea why Ender hated Peter and loved Valentine. I think this is a rare case where the movie should have been a two-parter. First movie is all about battle school and background story on Ender. The movie ends when Ender meets Mazer Rackham. Second movie is command school alternating with scenes of Demosthenes and Locke, ending with Ender finding the Hive Queen. I think there was more than enough material to make it happen.

    pretty much agree. I thought the casting was fairly horrible overall. I felt like any viewer who had not read the book would have no clue what was even happening.

    I agree with everything you said. Ender should have been a lot shorter. Also, I don't like how they threw Bean into Ender's launchie group. Bean is supposed to be younger than Ender - but I am probably more concerned with this since I just read Ender's Shadow.

    Desolation of Smaug was very fun. It's no LOTR: The Two Towers or even "very good" but it's fun, much better than the first Hobbit installment.

    I think the fact that they changed history confused a lot of people and they didn't know how to take it, but after dwelling on it for a bit people have learned to like it. I think it was Mr. Bread who pointed out how much tension Christoph Waltz creates even though he's smiling and seemingly being a nice guy throughout the first scene. It's so outstanding.

    Just watched "Shame". Eehhh.....it was slightly overrated. It had some amazing scenes but I don't feel the sum was greater than it's parts. But the fact that it was Steve McQueen's second full length film makes me overly excited to see what he has in store in the future, and I absolutely can not wait to see "12 Years A Slave".

    No, Eli Roth was absolute crap.  I can barely stand to rewatch his scene I hate it so much, and I really like the German soldier's performance along with BP.  My god the overacting and shitty accent.  eff that guy so goddamned hard in his face for the crap smudge he left on IB.

    He was fine, probably just south of impeccable. he didnt really do anything except smash that guy and yell baseball crap. i was fine with it. you were probably just distracted because he was eli roth you expected a cameo instead of a relevant character

    So, this Christmas break, I want to watch a bunch of these old Billy Wilder classics that I have never seen. The man wrote and directed a string of absolutely amazing films. I included the year and the IMDb rating. Just increds.

    Double Indemnity (1944) - 8.5
    Sunset Blvd. (1950) - 8.6
    Ace in the Hole (1951) - 8.2
    Sabrina (1954) - 7.7
    The Seven Year Itch (1955) - 7.2
    Witness for the Prosecution (1957) - 8.4
    Some Like it Hot (1959) - 8.3
    The Apartment (1960) - 8.4

    I have been going through the Silent Night, Deadly Night series.  Still have two to go, but current SNDN rankings are below

    1. Silent Night, Deadly Night - The film that started it all.  Would take an upset for it to fall
    2. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out - Pretty big gap here.  A blind psychic with a psychic grandma and a comatose Ricky with a brain container,
        or conbrainer, add a level of intrigue
    3. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 - Was good to see Ricky take up the axe after Billy went down.  About 40 minutes of the movie is showing clips from the original.  The actor who plays Ricky thinks that moving his eyebrows equates acting.

    Where will parts 4 and 5 land?  STAY TUNED!

    I thought about that one, too, but they did nothing but fight and back stab each other in that movie. They were completely dysfunctional. It's hard for me to view them as a great couple because of that.

    Well, that Zorro movie came out more than 15 years ago, so I don't really see why it matters what she looks like now. I also think Antonio looks better in Desperado than he does in Zorro. Antonio + Salma was just a better combination than Antonio + Catherine, imo.

    Quote

    Everyone in the town is just so nice. You spend the whole movie being terrified that the town's people are just going to mock him for this completely taboo thing he's engaged in.  That would've been a very simple scene to film. Every scene (especially around the husband's friends), you're just certain that people are going to make fun of him, but aside from that one scene near the beginning when the husband/brother is trying to come to grips with it, no one gives him a hard time about it. Everyone rallies around him.  It really is one of the most heartwarming movies I've ever watched.

    And like you said, "unexpected."  Maybe my favorite movie I watched this year.  I must've watched it 4 or 5 times because I wanted to show it to everyone I knew.

    WE DO IT - UGH - we do it for you.

     that line gets me every time.  it's far and away the best scene in the movie as far as i'm concerned, which is saying something, because there are a lot of great scenes in the movie.  Emily Mortimer's character is such a sweetheart.  maybe the most endearing female in a movie i've seen (outside of Shoshanna in Inglorious Basterds...me-ow).

    SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT FINAL RANKINGS - Plan your Christmas Silent Night, Deadly Night watching based on these rankings, not the incomplete previous version.

    1. Silent Night, Deadly Night - The film that started it all.  They missed a few opportunities at puns ("Nice Rack" was obvious).  Still a holiday classic.
    2. Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker - Full of twists and turns.  Not really related much to the first.  Mickey Rooney and Clint Howard show that money was no issue with the cast.  It was, however, an issue with their car crash scene that clearly used hot wheels.
    3. Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation - Not related to the first two at all.  Weird lesbian cult movie.  Clint Howard gives an impeccable performance as always and it is clear why they brought him back for the 5th.
    4. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out - A blind psychic with a psychic grandma and a comatose Ricky with a brain container,
        or conbrainer, add a level of intrigue
    5. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 - Was good to see Ricky take up the axe after Billy went down.  About 40 minutes of the movie is showing clips from the original.  The actor who plays Ricky thinks that moving his eyebrows equates acting.

    I'm on a binge guys.  Yesterday:

    David Copperfield: I read the book over the last 2 or 3 years.  It's really long.  The movie is actually a two part BBC movie.  It has tons of Harry Potter people in it, including Daniel Radcliffe (sp?) who plays young Copperfield himself.  If you've never read the book, I wouldn't spend time watching the movie.  It's pretty boring.

    Punch Drunk Love:  Was this Sandler's first seriousish role?  He did a pretty good job making me feel uncomfortable.  Could've used more Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

    The Aviator: Leo at just about his best.  Probably tied with Catch Me if You Can for my favorite Leo role.

    Going to go on a Matt Damon kick today I think.  Really want to watch the Talented Mr. Ripley and the Bourne movies.

It's very predictable and overdone, which is not to say I wasn't entertained all 3 hours of it, because I definitely was. It just seemed like it had no real message. And as Twitter has indicated, there is a ton of nudity. I'm honestly surprised it wasn't NC-17.

    The Best Worst Movie: was definitely interesting, if for no other reason to see how differently people in Troll 2 dealt with being in the movie. Also have never seen Troll 2 and probably don't plan on it, so it's not necessary to watching the doc.  :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon:

    I watched Bo Burnham's new comedy special "what." It's on Netflix and google tells me you can watch the whole thing on youtube as well. Easily the funniest stand-up show I've ever seen. It's more along the lines of Demetri Martin where there are different segments with different themes in oppose to straight up stand-up. There are probably 2 of the 12 segments that I didn't find that entertaining, with the other 10 or so being absolutely hysterical. That's still a better batting record for stand-up than I'm used to.

    I watched Bo Burnham's new comedy special "what." It's on Netflix and google tells me you can watch the whole thing on youtube as well. Easily the funniest stand-up show I've ever seen. It's more along the lines of Demetri Martin where there are different segments with different themes in oppose to straight up stand-up. There are probably 2 of the 12 segments that I didn't find that entertaining, with the other 10 or so being absolutely hysterical. That's still a better batting record for stand-up than I'm used to.
    I'm a huge Bo Burnham fan. I think his Words Words Words special is genius. 

    What. was a little lackluster for me.  I'd seen a lot of those bits before (he did several of them when he came to MHK a couple years ago) and the new songs were seemed like just cynical downers.  I can't be too critical, because he released the thing for free, but still.

    Maybe he just gave himself too much to live up to with Words Words Words, but What. just didn't do much for me.

    I think going into it without seeing any of his stuff for about 5 years was the best thing that could have happened for me. I think when you see more and more specials from the same comedian they tend to become less appealing because you learn their schticks, or they reuse material that you've already seen, etc. It just seemed so original to me, especially the bit after he drops the water bottle.

    Drinking Buddies - incredibly well acted and realistic film. i loved it, but since virtually nothing happens plot-wise, i can see how some would hate it. just a constant feeling of uneasiness and sexual tension throughout.

    Lars and the Real Girl - was expecting more of a quirky comedy, instead i got my heart ripped out and it was like meyer circle over here at the mocat house. great stuff and my ryan gosling boner is not going anywhere. also emily mortimer is adorable.

    1. her
    really great.  really really great.  really funny, and really love storyey and just wonderful.  (also so weird to see amy adams in this compared to american hustle, what an actress!)

    2. wolf of wall street
    oh man, so funny.  people complaining about it being too long are dorks, i want to see the original 4hr cut.

    3. hobbit 2
    ugh, come on dude, should have made this trilogy into a rough ridin' sology.  cut out ALL the orc and necromancer crap and just give me some smaug action.  smaug is so rough ridin' great OMG

    4. american hustle
    was pretty disappointed in this.  felt disjointed and completely propped up by great actors. amy adams tho... wow... just... wow.

    5. inside llewyn davis
    not much to say about this.  huge disappointment.  not the worst coen brothers movie ever (that honor goes to o' brother), but def on the bottom half or quarter of their films.

    The Spectacular Now

    A nice little indie dramedy (more drama, less comedy).  Not the most original concept (popular boy meets dorky girl, but don't be so fast to judge a book by its cover!).  Anyhow, i thought this was very well done and does a good job of presenting the main character's flaws and his love interest's flaws, but still entices the viewer to root for them.

    A great coming of age film. Best movie I've seen in the last few weeks. I would recommend to anybody.

    Anchorman 2 was OK.

    Ok?  Is haven't endured that much painful laughter (snowboarding injury) in a very long time.

    Going to see anchorman 2 with some bros from work on Tuesday matinee

    What a great movie to see with the bros.  I might have to take it in again with some of the MHK bros. Maybe a jazz sesh beforehand. Tons of laughs.

    I enjoyed Anchorman 2 very much.

    I did as well.

    Anchorman 2 .... loved it. exactly what i wanted.

    Saving Mr. Banks .... also loved it. historical and charming!

    It was, especially the first half of the movie. I feel like the first hour or so was laughs upon laughs then it kind of stalled, then they threw in some more uproarious laughter and then they kind of said "How far can we take these jokes," kind of like they were toying with the audience. 

    Still tons of  :lol:

    Have you ever seen "Two Mules for Sister Sara," Dlew?  It's great.  A bit of a spaghetti-type western if you ask me. A cinematic experience nonetheless.

    Paul Rudd and kid from Girl Next Door.  These two are essentially the only two characters in the film (save for 2 others, who are on the screen for roughly 5 minutes total).  It's pretty funny but isn't what I would call a comedy.  It's a nice movie to look at too -- it's set in the woods and the there are a lot of cool shots of streams and trees and the sky and junk, if you're into that sort of thing.

    4/7.

    Paul Rudd and kid from Girl Next Door.  These two are essentially the only two characters in the film (save for 2 others, who are on the screen for roughly 5 minutes total).  It's pretty funny but isn't what I would call a comedy.  It's a nice movie to look at too -- it's set in the woods and the there are a lot of cool shots of streams and trees and the sky and junk, if you're into that sort of thing.

    4/7.

    Watched this the other night. Pretty much dead on review. Some weird crap goes on in it (that woman who gets in and out of the old drunks truck).

    Yeah basically.  I forgot that at the beginning of the movie it said four people died in the fire.  Also, she's supposed to represent the softer more redeeming quality of the two guys and the older drunk ("don't become attached to women," etc) is supposed to have represented their worse qualities.  I had forgotten that it said 4 people died.  The chick was one of them, and the three kids playing at the end are supposed to have been the other three.

    Pretty strange movie, but even aside from all the weird stuff, it was pretty enjoyable.  Girl Next Door kid looks different.

    A dark comedy from Tim Heidecker. Didn't receive great reviews but I guess I enjoyed the movie because I'm familiar with Tim's unique deadpan style.

    This was actually one of the best movies I watched last year. I still think about it and the impact it had upon viewing. Huge fan of Heidecker and his comedy, but this was something far beyond most of his other stuff. Actually, I think his other works plays perfectly into the main theme of the movie. One of the few movies I continually think about post-watching.

    The Spectacular Now

    A nice little indie dramedy (more drama, less comedy).  Not the most original concept (popular boy meets dorky girl, but don't be so fast to judge a book by its cover!).  Anyhow, i thought this was very well done and does a good job of presenting the main character's flaws and his love interest's flaws, but still entices the viewer to root for them.

    A great coming of age film. Best movie I've seen in the last few weeks. I would recommend to anybody.

    15 minutes in, this movie appears pretty Dlewy

    12 Years a Slave - Best movie of the year (although I'm about to watch "Her" so it may not hold that title for long). Definitely the most real feeling slave movie I've ever watched. Since he starts out a free man and ends up a slave it makes it feel more real because it's like, man if someone snatched me up right now and made me a slave that'd really suck. And it makes you think about that the whole movie. Not to mention Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Paul Dano and Benedict Cumberbatch are all in it. I really like the way McQueen uses music as well. He uses it very little and when it's in there you barely notice it because of it's subtlety, which also added to the realness of the movie.

    Oh my gosh you guys! There is a large gap between "Her" and the second best movie of the year. I loved everything about it. Futuristic, but believable (unlike most futuristic movies), acting, directing, the color schemes used throughout. It challenges/questions the most simple principles of relationships. And not just one aspect, like every aspect. And the conversations about feelings and what it means to feel are just so perfect. I really hope it's not too far out there to win Best Picture, because I can see all the old white guys who get to vote thinking that.

    Saw Catching Fire last night and it was quite good--almost as good as the first one, which I thought was surprisingly excellent bit of Sci-Fi for adults. Really looking forward to the next 2 (though I wish it was just a trilogy.)  Quickest 2.5 hour movie I've ever sat through. ***1/2 out of 4.

    Mr. Banks was nice, funny, sweet. Kind of thing you can take your prude parents to. I give it ***/4.

    I can't wait to see Her, as the reviews have been off the charts. I am curious to see if it knocks Gravity off my number 1 movie of the year. I saw a similar movie (sci fi romance) called TiMer, which was pretty decent for a Netflix movie.

    I really have a long list of movies in theaters right now that I want to see, but I'll need to hold off for rentals so I have something to carry me through the doldrums of summer comic book crap.

    Words Words Words - Definitely not as good as "what." and it is absolutely ridiculous to think so. I don't really like his songs where he raps the verses with a bunch of vulgar play on words. He's very talented to be able to write and perform it, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't know anything for me. The only things I really enjoyed were the stats, the bit at the movie theater when he has snare and cymbal on stage, and when he makes fun of traditional stand up comedy.

    I really think "what." is going to change the way stand up comedy is done. It's just such a performance, and can't even be compared to other stand-up acts, whereas "Words Words Words" is definitely not traditional stand up, but it's nowhere near as far as removed as "what."

    That's fair.  It's clear to me that we like two different things about Bo.  I know this is going to come across as snobbish, and I don't mean it to, but I've really been a fan of Bo since about 2006 when he started doing some silly songs on youtube, so for me, he's always been the guy who does hilarious, clever upbeat songs that include a whole bunch of plays on words, and up until "What." that's always what it's been. And in that respect, Words Words Words blows What. out of the water.  My favorite part of What. is "repeat stuff," as that's what is really closest to what he's always done.

    Words Words Words (the song), Oh Bo, and What's Funny, for me, cannot be beat.  I also really liked the Shakespeare stuff. It's mostly lighthearted and there are really an unbelievable amount of plays on words. 

    In short, like I said, we just appreciate two different aspects of Bo, and he's very good at both.  But selfishly, I hope he gets back to "his roots."

    I compared it to when Blink-182 made their self-titled album. They had obviously taken a huge leap in maturity between "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" and that. A lot of people who grew up loving the Blink-182 that streaked in their music videos and had songs about their grandpa eating 7 hot dogs and thus defecating in his pants did not care for the self-titled album, even though a new crowd loved it and was very accepting of it. Neither are wrong, they just like different things.

    Dallas Buyers Club - I personally think it is better than 12 Years a Slave, but doubt many will share that view. I have a special place it my heart for movies that have a tough 1-2 punch of Lead and Supporting Actors/Actresses. Great examples would be Fight Club, Rounders, There Will Be Blood and of course Breaking Bad. The only reason I watched it today was because McConaughey and Leto both (rightfully) won Golden Globes last night for their roles in it. There were some really heavy scenes that they both handled near perfectly, and they both had to have upbeat, lighthearted scenes as well.

    The mid-80's Texas setting was done better than even the American Hustle setting, I thought. Way more low key and natural than AH was. And the way they director handled McConaughey spells of weakness was very well done. It sucks that this came out at the same time as so many other movies that were marketed better, but this may be the most underrated movie of the season.

    In a World...

    It's a light comedy about voice-over people for movie trailers.  Not a complete waste of time, but not what I would call a must-see either. It's not that funny.

    Bad Grandpa

    Very funny!  It's basically Borat but with Johnny Knoxville playing a grandpa.  The grandpa sketches in the Jackass movies were never my favorite, but some of these were really good.  Some of the bits are funnier than others, but Knoxville's one liners are hilarious.  I would definitely watch this again.

    In a World...

    It's a light comedy about voice-over people for movie trailers.  Not a complete waste of time, but not what I would call a must-see either. It's not that funny.

    yeah it was a lot funnier than i thought going into it.  plus i really enjoy young kids saying bad words in movies, it makes me laugh a lot.

    That is a hilarious way to describe seeing two out of three movies.   Also, that is kind of the order I was thinking, but also thought Inside Llewyn Davis might be the one that loses the least when watched on a laptop instead of in theaters...

    Saw Lone Survivor last night.  My critiques:

    I never really cared for any of the characters.  I surmise it's because they didn't do much character development.  But maybe it's tough to develop the character of real hard asses who internalize a lot of emotion?  Also, maybe they were trying to keep it as real to the actual story as possible.  But then there were some moments that seemed completely implausible.  I am, however, inspired to fishing reading the book.

    Oh man, Heris absolutely beautiful.  One of the most interesting and thought provoking movies I've ever seen.  The scenery, the score, the script, all just beautiful.  Although it is meant to be futuristic, it feels like the present in some crazy, twisted way.  The idea of the OS feels like a combination of technological advances that we use every day.  Bluetooth headsets, Siri, text messages, facetime and to an extent Google glass.  What if one day we could have our friends, family, loved ones right there with us every step of the way?  This movie really did a great job of showing that weird thing where you can almost hear a person's voice when you read a text message.

    SPOILER ALERT!!!

    One of the things I found so fascinating was the scene where she said she was in love with 641 other people.  I mean, what if our mind/soul/brain etc. was like that of an operating system, where any minute, we could connect to a global database and instantly determine our level of connection with every single person on earth?  It really challenges the theory of "the one".  Crazy. 

    And when she "brought to life" that dead writer.  What if, in the not to distant future, there was a way to program someone's visions, beliefs, wisdom into a database where you could use the data to make a decision based on (for example) something your late mother or father believes? Oh man.

    The Comedy

    A dark comedy from Tim Heidecker. Didn't receive great reviews but I guess I enjoyed the movie because I'm familiar with Tim's unique deadpan style.

    This was actually one of the best movies I watched last year. I still think about it and the impact it had upon viewing. Huge fan of Heidecker and his comedy, but this was something far beyond most of his other stuff. Actually, I think his other works plays perfectly into the main theme of the movie. One of the few movies I continually think about post-watching.
    Yeah...I like Tim and Eric and all, but this movie just didn't do it for me in the least.  I thought its "message" was shallow.  Whatever dark comedy there was, completely missed me.  I got the point after the first 15 minutes or so and hoped that the rest of the movie wouldn't just be the same "schtick" over and over and over and well, that's pretty much what it was, imo.

    I'd be interested to hear your guys' take on this and where you found the merit.

    Not sure where you are at in the book, and it's been 4-5 years since I read it, but I remember the first 1/3 of the book being slow, but once the crap hit the fan, I pretty much couldn't put it down.  I even took the book to work so I could read it when I didn't have anything to do...I never do that.

    I'm just glad those OS' were benevolent in the end, and just "went away"  because the infantile musings of the future people in that movie would have left them ill-prepared for a robot apocalypse.

    For what its worth, i don't necessarily think it is a comedy. Maybe a comedy in a tragic sense, where you realize the comedian disenfranchises and distances himself from society at the same time he utters his jokes. I thought it was actually a very depressing movie.

    Dallas Buyers Club was good, but a little sad and a little slow. Mcconaughey and Leto lost a lot of weight for their roles and did a fantastic job representing their characters. It reminds you how awful the world was when it came to homosexuals in the 80's & 90's.  :frown:

    Also, it's tough watching a loved one slowly go from cancer or a disease. Do not go to this movie if that stuffs bothers you a lot (duh, it bothers us all, but this is extreme). it's pretty graphic what they're dealing with.  :frown:

    The Act of Killing - Very hard to watch. It's a documentary that interviews men who were military when Indonesia became a military government in 1965. They killed everyone who was communist, Chinese, or they thought were communist or Chinese. The film makers basically have these guys act in a "movie" that revisits what they did, and they tell all the "actors" that they are going to show Americans how much good these guys did to eliminate communism. And of course they're so egotistical that they go along with it without thinking twice. When they act out the victims you see it dawn on them exactly what they were doing to people, like they had never had an ounce of empathy in their life until they were basically forced to. It is a pretty bizarre look into the psychology of a killer.

    Captain Phillips - Nobody even hears about it if Tom Hanks doesn't play the lead. Nobody talks about it without the last 10 minutes. Tom Hanks in the last 10 minutes makes it worth seeing the other 2 hours.

    This dork store watched a pirated version with no subtitles so obviously he had no idea what was going on throughout the movie. Your review is meaningless.

    They talked in English for all the important stuff. And it adds to the thrill since Captain Phillips wouldn't have known what they were saying, either. Highly recommended.

    The Act of Killing - Very hard to watch. It's a documentary that interviews men who were military when Indonesia became a military government in 1965. They killed everyone who was communist, Chinese, or they thought were communist or Chinese. The film makers basically have these guys act in a "movie" that revisits what they did, and they tell all the "actors" that they are going to show Americans how much good these guys did to eliminate communism. And of course they're so egotistical that they go along with it without thinking twice. When they act out the victims you see it dawn on them exactly what they were doing to people, like they had never had an ounce of empathy in their life until they were basically forced to. It is a pretty bizarre look into the psychology of a killer.

    man.  you should back that up with a viewing of the Killing Fields.

Olivia Wilde and Anna Kendrick together in a movie is also great. Probably my favorite part was when Olivia decides to go skinny dipping and, well, you will just have to watch the movie.

    "Jodorowsky's Dune" is coming to the states this year. Sounds like a pretty great documentary about Alejandro Jodorowsk'ys unfinished Dune film that was beyond rough ridin' insane. Apparently the documentary has won quite a few awards, so hopefully it does the subject matter justice. Here is an interesting article by the man himself on his unfinished project.

    If you're interested in learning about Genghis Khan badassery, listen to Dan Carlin's "The Wrath of the Khans."  It's a 5 part series as part of his "Hardcore History" podcast.  The whole "Wrath of the Khans" series is about 7 and a half hours, but like I said, he's the absolute best.

    not sure. i was killing some time at the library the other day and saw it, so i got it. it's probably a pretty great watch for anyone who has ever dealt with family mental health issues, but it has nothing to do with mhk and might be kind of boring to some.

    Appeased my girlfriend by seeing "Winters Tale" and "About Last Night" this weekend.  While neither were absolutely terrible, they weren't worth the money we paid to see it.  Avoid these until redbox if your lady insists on watching them.

    Trust me, that's my go to. . .but she is a staunch believer that critics are generally wrong and bash "good movies".  I tend to trust the user ratings on RT. . .but those were too high for those two movies in my opinion.

    RT can be misleading especially w/r/t comedies.  However, for "serious" movies, I can feel 99% confident that a movie w/ a 17% rating on RT is pretty, well, rotten.  I worry about user ratings for major blockbusters, because studios that have invested tons of money into films also have huge marketing budgets, and user reviews are a part of online marketing.

    "Gravity" is more of a great experience than a great movie. After it's out of theaters, everyone will forget about it.

    I see that a lot from people: the purge had a great premise.  How the eff is that a great premise?  It's rough ridin' asinine.  Oh hey you get to break the law one day so now crime is way down and the economy is much better. 

    The vast majority of crime isn't because people have this generalized pent up aggression.  It's either financially motivated or emotionally motivated.  People would still have an incentive to deal drugs and steal/defraud or kill their spouses or exes etc out of jealousy or hate.  Sex offenders would still be regularly rapey and molesty.  That crap doesn't disappear the other 364 days because you get to eff crap up one day of the year.  rough ridin' dumb.  Crime is down so magically there are more jobs is also rough ridin' dumb. 

    I hate the premise.  It fits perfectly that the movie was crap.

    Just saw this a couple days ago, and you summed up my thoughts perfectly.

    Did the bf think he was going to get to hang out with the gf more if he killed her dad? Like she was going to be all "Oh, you killed my dad, but it was on Purge night so it's ok. I still love you. Grrrrrrrrrr!"

    I see that a lot from people: the purge had a great premise.  How the eff is that a great premise?  It's rough ridin' asinine.  Oh hey you get to break the law one day so now crime is way down and the economy is much better. 

    The vast majority of crime isn't because people have this generalized pent up aggression.  It's either financially motivated or emotionally motivated.  People would still have an incentive to deal drugs and steal/defraud or kill their spouses or exes etc out of jealousy or hate.  Sex offenders would still be regularly rapey and molesty.  That crap doesn't disappear the other 364 days because you get to eff crap up one day of the year.  rough ridin' dumb.  Crime is down so magically there are more jobs is also rough ridin' dumb. 

    I hate the premise.  It fits perfectly that the movie was crap.

    i don't disagree with you. i don't think it was a great premise because i believe that's really how people are, i just think something really cool could have been done with the idea.

    here's my the purge synopsis-
    crime.  not a crime.  crime. 

    correct me here if i'm wrong folks b/c i never saw anything but the commercial but this sob sounds nails level gripping.  i wonder if i can d/l it and watch it from my iphone b/c i'm srsly needing to see this flick right now and can't wait.  #gripping #rundon'twalk #ernesthemingway

    The Purge ... pretty awful. disappointing too because it's such a great premise. why did the girl's bf try to kill the dad? why was every character so completely stupid?

    Just saw this a couple days ago, and you summed up my thoughts perfectly.

    Did the bf think he was going to get to hang out with the gf more if he killed her dad? Like she was going to be all "Oh, you killed my dad, but it was on Purge night so it's ok. I still love you. Grrrrrrrrrr!"

    maybe if they had established somehow that the daughter was in on it... but no it was just some rogue plan by the bf because her dad didn't approve of him (which we actually hadn't actually witnessed). add to it that it occurred at the exact same moment that the homeless guy was let in... just bizarre.

I loved it because any movie that has a young, newfound relationship is already endearing, but that kid's personality reminded me a lot of myself in high school. Really in college too, when it comes to being so afraid to fail that you don't take any steps forward in your life. But his conversation with his mom in the end really got me. A couple of people really close to me have the same outlook on themselves and how people view them, and it's really sad that you can't talk to them logically about it.

    The Spectacular Now - Almost like a mix of Perks of Being a Wallflower and Smashed. (If you haven't seen Smashed, you must. I watched it for Aaron Paul but he's about #10 on the list of reasons I loved it.) I loved it because any movie that has a young, newfound relationship is already endearing, but that kid's personality reminded me a lot of myself in high school. Really in college too, when it comes to being so afraid to fail that you don't take any steps forward in your life. But his conversation with his mom in the end really got me. A couple of people really close to me have the same outlook on themselves and how people view them, and it's really sad that you can't talk to them logically about it.

    i will watch it tonight.
    and omg amy finnicky i think i love you. 

    i've never fallen for a fictional character so hard.  and a high-schooler nonetheless!

    she was so nice and loved sutter SO much.  that part when sutter was like "it's in 10 minutes," and she's like "ten minutes from now?" "ok whatever sure i'll come."  also the part where she's like "we never have to talk about it again."

    WHAT!  Are you crazy?!  If i was a feminist, I would hate this movie and Amy Finnicky for the creation of an absolute absurdly amazing, caring female character.  She is an impossible standard. Plus a boozehound!

    And beautiful too!  Va va voom.

    Sutter is a great character we all probably knew at one point, but goodness gravy, that Amy Finnicky.

    Collateral and Miami Vice were great. Vice had some cheesy dialogue but that wasn't Mann's fault. Mann was really the first Hollywood director to film realistic gunfights. He was also the first director to successfully use tracking shots (like the ending sequence of episode four in true detective that everyone blew their load over). I'll watch a movie if Mann's directing even if I initially have no interest in the subject matter.

    Oh cool fanning's life is now part of the movies thread.  Extra helpings of dumbshit are always a treat.  I personally enjoy all the really profound insights.  Teaches me about humans and what it means to be one.  Learn a little something about a sepcial guy named me in the process.
    Shut up, foreigner.

    Divergent is going to be somewhere around a 4 film commitment I think by the time its all said and done.  Frozen will probably have sequels as everything animated does.  The Mr. Banks thing is a one movie commitment.  Once you dodge the first movie in a series, you have a built in excuse for the rest.  Go with Banks.

    Watched "The Grand Budapest Hotel" tonight with the wife. Really solid. I loved the sets/backgrounds/wardrobe and the cinematography was top notch. Emotions ran the gamut throughout the movie, and there are some really good laughs as well. Pretty typical for a Wes Anderson movie, which is not a bad thing.

    The Spectacular Now - Almost like a mix of Perks of Being a Wallflower and Smashed. (If you haven't seen Smashed, you must. I watched it for Aaron Paul but he's about #10 on the list of reasons I loved it.) I loved it because any movie that has a young, newfound relationship is already endearing, but that kid's personality reminded me a lot of myself in high school. Really in college too, when it comes to being so afraid to fail that you don't take any steps forward in your life. But his conversation with his mom in the end really got me. A couple of people really close to me have the same outlook on themselves and how people view them, and it's really sad that you can't talk to them logically about it.

    i will watch it tonight.
    and omg amy finnicky i think i love you. 

    i've never fallen for a fictional character so hard.  and a high-schooler nonetheless!

    Watched "Our Idiot Brother" tonight. The movie is chock-full of caricatures and stereotypes, but that was definitely the intent and worked pretty well getting it's point across. Way different than I expected, thought it was going to be more of a comedy, but it ended up being much more serious. There were points where it shamelessly manipulated your feelings, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably helps that I wasn't expecting much.

    "Safety Not Guaranteed" was okay. I don't think the movie was particularly well done, it seemed like it was getting at something deeper than Aubrey Plaza and Nick Miller being emo about life, but in the end it never really got there. Parts of the plot were really neat, and that's about all that was redemptive, but that was enough for it not to suck.

    The Grand Budapest Hotel. Just a fantastic movie that has a bit of everything, emotionally. A movie that never takes itself very seriously but at the same time has something serious to say and might move you to tears, unexpectedly.

    If you like Wes Anderson movies, what the hell are u waiting 4?

    this is a true story. i had never heard of this movie but when i read the title in this post i thought in my head "sounds like a Wes Anderson title" and then when i read the last sentence my head exploded.

    i saw the trailer a while back and i love W.A. movies and i will no doubt love this film

    I watched this last week. It was different from every other WA movie. It is basically absurdism comedy, without the genuine core that the rest of his films typically have. You don't really GAF about the characters because they are all caricatures without normal problems. Still very enjoyable and I laughed a lot. Also still very technically beautiful with loads of pans and zooms and wide angles and colors and straight down shots of things to read that you expect to see with WA. I wish F. Murray Abraham was in more films; the guy is a joy to watch.

    Saw Grand Budapest this last weekend and I just enjoy how fun it is to watch.  Everything in movie making has shifted to a level of seriousness that just weighs a person down.  WA has a  way of keeping a story light. . .so even though the subject matter was heavy and kind of sad I left the theater with a smile.

    I think my favorite part was when elise left and then he is in a theatre watching her on stage as she cuts the hair of the guy she thinks she's still in love with but now he's an adult and she doesn't even recognize him and then goes back to looking at his picture and then the curtain closes.

    Watched an Errol Morris documentary "Tabloid", it's about a former Miss Wyoming who falls in love with a Mormon dude, and he leaves for England to go on his mission without telling her.  She hires muscle, flies to England, kidnaps Mormon dude, and takes him to an English country cottage and screws his brains out for 3 days.  It was the crap in England back in 1977.  When Mormon dude resurfaces, he claims he was kidnapped and raped.  Back story uncovered by Errol Morris is kind of interesting.  It's worth watching.

    The Way Way Back

    Cast was good. I enjoyed how Steve Carell showed off some versatility by being an unlikeable prick. Sam Rockwell was his usual stud underrated self.  The kid who played Duncan really embraced his role as an awkward semi-loserish self but was still believeable when he became a semi-confident semii-stud at the end.

    Man of Steel

    I liked this much more than anticipated. I've never been a superman guy, too doofy a premise, but this movie was much more sci fi action mini-epic than super hero flick and had tons of kansas pandering which made me feel warm.
    Also they killed some of the more annoying typical superman plot devices right off the bat. The only part I really didn't like was when he shaved off his beard because he was a beefed out bearded freakazoid which is good. Also, how the eff does superman shave? I know I complain about this a lot, but really noone has been able to give me a good answer.

    Well known fact: he shaves using a mirror and laser vision.

    Cuaron is the best, imo. The car scene, and shootout scene in Children of Men is just jaw-dropping.

    also Atonement has an incredible one with like a million extras on a beach in WWII. pretty amazeballz

    This movie was actually really great.  The action was top notch, and if you are familiar with Spiderman as a character, they did a good job crafting his lines to his personality.  This is one of those movies you almost have to see in 3D.  When he is flying through the air it helps you really see the distance to the ground and how close things are for him.  It does spend time developing his relationship outside the costume, but I think this helps us understand him even more.  Gf and I discussed it and both agree that Andrew Garfield is a better Spiderman than Tobey McGuire.

    I think it depends on what scares an individual.  It is my humble opinion that the best horror movies are the ones that are psychologically fear inducing. Too many movies nowadays rely heavily on sudden moments after long anticipation (ie Paranormal Activity) which I think is a cheap way to get thrills.  Though this argument can be broadly attached to all genres, fear is one of those emotions that everyone experiences but in very different ways. 

    Other factors to horror movie enjoyment: time of day, who you are with/if you are alone, if the theme could happen in real life.

    So I'm sure you know it's a lot of the same dudes from the Big Lebowski.  Anyway the directors have a running joke around how Steve Buscemi's character dies...

    Quote
    Donny's remains finish a three-movie long Coen brothers joke, where Buscemi's characters get smaller in death. In Miller's Crossing, Buscemi was seen as a dead body, in Fargo a severed leg and in The Big Lebowski he is just ash.

    i'm going with cash.  he's younger than tango, and he gets tango's sister, meow.  thoughts?

    You're Requin as portrayed by Brion James and everyone knows it.  Stop rough ridin' around. 

    no no and no.  maybe you missed the memo, the choice is between hero tango and hero cash.  requin isn't part of this equation.  do i need to spell everything out for you? 

    also, how about when cash puts the dummy nade in requin's pants, i was like, NO! then it was just a dud, phew.

    The Conjuring was very overrated.

    Controversial

    I think it depends on what scares an individual.  It is my humble opinion that the best horror movies are the ones that are psychologically fear inducing. Too many movies nowadays rely heavily on sudden moments after long anticipation (ie Paranormal Activity) which I think is a cheap way to get thrills.  Though this argument can be broadly attached to all genres, fear is one of those emotions that everyone experiences but in very different ways. 

    Other factors to horror movie enjoyment: time of day, who you are with/if you are alone, if the theme could happen in real life.

    We've been through this or at least Dub and I have.

    Million Ways to Die in the West - I wasn't a big fan of Ted and this was a lot better, imo.  A lot of slapstick, one-liners throughout.  Occasionally it goes blatantly super low-brow with piss and crap humor.  Much closer to family guy style than Ted was.  Not as good as Blazing Saddles and doesn't have the racial undertones that make that a classic but I would describe it as 1/4 Blazing Saddles and 3/4 family guy.

    When I first saw the list of actors in that movie, I thought there was no way that it could fail. When I first saw the trailer I became really worried. I haven't heard one person say that they enjoyed it so far, it makes me sad. What wasted potential.

    Unrelated, he's also the worst kind of same guy in every movie actor.  Except maybe the ammityville one, which I didn't see.  Enough is enough I guess.  I don't need to see RR be RR again ever.  It was funny originally, but now I tire of it/him.

    Training Day, great -because of Denzel. Ethan Hawke hurts the film. He does not help it
    White Fang, great LOL
    Alive, great LOL
    Dead Poets Society, great - because of Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard. Ethan Hawke hurts the film. He does not help it. The "Captain, my captain" scene is the only scene in Ethan Hawke's entire career where he has done even an ounce of acting.

    Gattaca, great. I hate you.

    Bro, do you even gene discriminate?

    You're surprised that attempting to insult me through gay-bashing elicited such a response?

    Maybe you've never been acquainted with an individual that has struggled with their sexual identity due to societal pressures, but comments such as yours tend to evoke strong responses from those who have.

    I don't actually want you to die, but ignoring or brushing off the comment as no big deal opens the door for you to continue such behavior.

    spoiler alert:  if they had been able to cast stallone like they wanted to (but couldn't afford), they would have had to re-write the book and then named it "everyone survives except the bad guys, stallone rules"

    Caught a few in the past few weeks that I had been putting off...

    Thor: The Dark World - Pretty decent.  The weakest franchise in the Marvel universe right now, IMO.  Of course, Cap. America and all of the Iron Man movies have been really great.

    Man of Steel - Nice effects, and I really dug the Krypton backstory stuff with Russell Crowe.  But, like all Superman movies since 1 & 2, they've found a way to make Superman the most boring comic book character in the world.

    Pacific Rim - Totally glad I ended up getting around to this.  Loved the crap out of it.

    Enders Game - Didn't know how I'd feel about it given the sketchy reviews, but I was into it.  Definitely worth a viewing.

    The Graduate - Never watched it all of the way through, and my wife and I watched it on Netflix.  I thought it had some great moments, but I'm not sure it's one of the best movies ever made (as has been asserted).

    So, yes, I watch a ton of sci-fi/fantasy/comic book stuff.

    Can't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy.  Will probably catch that one in the theater.
    Title: Re: Recent motion picture viewing - Add your own!
    Post by: Stevesie60 on June 23, 2014, 12:45:39 PM
    The Graduate is considered so great because it took a huge step in how soundtracks are used in movies. All the same artist, songs that were written for the movie, etc. But I'm with you, watching it as a stand-alone movie, it doesn't seem that great. I do love the ending though when you kind of see in their eyes that they may have just made a huge mistake and really have no idea what to do now that they've acted completely on impulse.

    i nostalgically started watching Robin Hood Men: in Tights last night. wow, it is so bad. it is so very bad. it has aged worse than The Untouchables  :frown:

    i had to turn it off after about 20 minutes

    the movie hasn't aged, you have

    "Her" is more a commentary on how we're all falling in love with our phones, social media, nrl friends than we are making relationships with actual people. I thought it was pretty spot on.

    10 hours of flights yesterday, here's what i got in:

    Lone Survivor ... pretty great, pretty awkward to get misty eyed at the end surrounded by people on a plane
    Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit ... meh
    Enemy ... whoa. didn't see this one coming. total mind eff, what is going on? hauntingly suspenseful, really enjoyed this one, makes you think.

    started Her... will report back once finished

    Yeah, makes me think, what the eff am I doing watching this piece of crap. Too much haunting music, too much dumbassery & extra suspense for nothing.  This movie is maybe the most boring ever.

    NO RACCOONS! NO STARS! FU JG, FU for making the most mind-numbingly boring movie ever.

    I finally got around to seeing the new Transformers flick.  It was just awful.  With trailers I was in the theater for almost 3 hours watching something that you could arguably call a movie.  I was so pissed off I went and saw Deliver Us From Evil to get the sour taste from my mouth.  It was a decent horror/suspense flick.  Definitely worth a Redbox rental.

    Sidenote: I watched Cheap Thrills and All is Lost on Sunday and both were fantastic in their own right.  Cheap Thrills is a dark comedy (I guess it can go in that genre) but leans on the dark side as the film goes on.  All is Lost is just a well made movie that is worth your time.

    Yes, I did know that it would be pronounced "noting," but "noting" didn't mean boning.  "Nothing" (however you want to pronounce it) IS a reference to the female genitalia, though, so it has a double meaning resembling "chasing p***y" and a TRIPLE MEANING of "noting" as in paying attention to the details, as in all the games being played within the play.

    @mocat , here's a teaser from the introduction:

    MUCH ADO ABOUT THINGS AND NO THINGS

       
    In his 1512 work De Copia, Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus addresses the scope and importance of what he called the “abundant style” (think “copious,” i.e. abundance).  Erasmus’ commentary was confined to the field of rhetoric, but his message is equally applicable to all humans, since humans by nature are, to use Kenneth Burke’s famous phrasing, “word-lings.”  Erasmus writes, “If in these circumstances we find ourselves destitute of verbal riches and hesitate, or keep singing out the same old phrase like a cuckoo, and are unable to clothe our thought in other colors or other forms, we shall look ridiculous when we show ourselves to be so tongue-tied, and we shall also bore our wretched audience to death” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_copia).  I cannot prove whether or not Shakespeare was familiar with Erasmus’ work, but still I chuckle to think of the myriad ways Shakespeare could have punned off of “tongue-tied” in his own work (in context, “tongue” often carried the double-meaning “clitoris”).  In a famous section of De Copia, Erasmus demonstrates his “abundant style” by presenting 195 variations of the common correspondence greeting “your letter pleased me greatly.”  Not to be outdone, Shakespeare’s works contain more than 200 variant expressions for male genitals alone – an abundant style indeed!  Perhaps in a show of sexual bi-partisanship, his works also include nearly 200 synonyms for female genitals.  These figures come from the appendix to Pauline Kiernan’s quaint (lol) volume Filthy Shakespeare, to which I am indebted.  Did Shakespeare employ such abundance of phrase because the Elizabethans were not as comfortable discussing sexuality in public as we are today?

    Fie!  The opposite is true.  In fact, I’m feeling slightly uncomfortable as I type this paper, and I will feel more than slightly uncomfortable presenting it.  Shakespeare’s plays are engorged with sexual imagery/energy, and his audiences were fine-tuned to hearing what we now call subtext in a way that we can hardly begin to imagine.  “And those ears were trained to hear every nuance of meaning in a word, including, and especially, ones with sexual undertones.  This was because so many people used language in this way and because, quite simply, they went to so many plays” (Kiernan, Filthy Shakespeare).  The most obscene of Shakespeare’s sexual puns often go undetected by modern readers, and the reasons for this are plentiful.  Beginning in Shakespeare’s time and continuing uninterrupted to the present, sympathetic editors have merely glossed over them while moralists have censured and, in some cases, deleted them entirely.  Shakespeare’s audience was acquainted with a manner of living that to modern readers would seem immoral, decadent, vulgar, and brutal.  Poverty, famine, disease, and corruption were an ever-present reality for the lower classes.  This was an era characterized by excess of all kinds, which in part explains the turmoil that would later erupt in the seventeenth century.  During the Interregnum, the Puritan-dominated Parliament sought to address the excesses of the previous regime by banning, among other things, the theatre.  But now I am getting dangerously close to composing a research paper rather than the compendium of crassness I set out to write...

    now, end my suspense.  :impatient:
    yeah, until i took the intro class at ksu, i was woefully unaware.. hated it in high school and was  :dubious: for the first few days in the intro class.

    but my prof was a stud. he was positively gleeful when he'd peel back all the layers and help us understand what he was actually telling the audience. and i've been in :love: with shakes ever since.

    what are your faves??

    my top 3 are probably:
    1. Hamlet
    2. Merchant of Venice
    3. Henry IV (Falstaff! I mean he was like george costanza on steroids)
    :sdeek:
    Interesting that you would mention Hamlet & MoV.  Another excerpt from the introduction:

    During my previous study of The Merchant of Venice, I noted that the humor broadly fell into two categories:  Jokes about Jews, and jokes about genitals (clever, I know).  Since the latter category is by far the more pervasive in Shakespeare’s oeuvre, the present paper will first give The Merchant of Venice a more thorough treatment, and then extend (see what I did there?) this analysis to Hamlet, a less obvious selection.  I hope to address precisely what function these jokes serve in context and what, if any, larger meaning they help to develop.  Before we relegate the Bard to the status of smut-peddler, it is important to consider his plays in their rhetorical context, namely in relation to audience.  We must remember “that his audiences were far more sophisticated in their listening skills than we are, and that sexual punning was much more a part of normal discourse in everyday life” (Kiernan). 

    --

    btdubs, the subheadings for those sections were:

    The Merchant of Venice, or the Power of the Penis

    and

    Hamlet, or $!#*-ry Matters

    I watched "The Last Waltz" this past weekend for the first time in years. For those that don't know, it's a documentary directed by Martin Scorsese covering the final show that The Band performed before breaking up. It was at the Winterland Theatre in SF - the first venue The Band every played as The Band. It's considered to be one of the best, if the THE best, concert documentaries ever made.

    Guests include Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, and many more.

    I give it 5 Resist Temptation burgers.

    Agree on both fronts. Everyone else in the group sort of hated Robbie. Levon was really butthurt about the movie saying that 'Sese made it seem like Robbie was the frontman.

    At the time, the movie editors accomplished a very impressive feat by editing out a massive cocaine booger hanging from Neil Young's nostril that was present as he came on stage.

    Also, Levon hated that Neil Diamond was invited. Thinking about it, he was sort if the one that didn't fit.

    Watched Snowpiercer the other night.  Pretty entertaining though didn't live up to my expectations.

     :star: :star: :star: :raccoon:

    Snowpiercer = Hunger Games set on the Polar Express.

    I don't have a problem suspending disbelief for large portions of it as I expected to some with the premise.  The problem comes from critics trying to make it seem hyper-intelligent and then also asking you to suspend disbelief.

    Guardians of the Galaxy. What a joy. Summertime movie making at its best. Probably my favorite marvel movie, but I'm way more of a space epic guy than a superhero guy.

    Adding jalapeños is good (thanks nicnames phone thief) but if I have access to the jalapeño dust I usually just do that. If I don't have access to either nacho cheese dust by itself is the choice

    thoughts on sly's performance in it? 

    ok that's cool- let's quit beating around the bush.  was it better or worse than peter finch's performance in Network?
    oh did i mention, who the eff is peter finch?  Network, ever hear of it before just now?
    the academy loved Network in 1976 which just proves that they are idiots. 

    best actor (there were actually 2 nominated from Network, what a joke- Finch even beat out De Niro from taxi driver)
    best actress
    best supporting actress
    best screenplay (better than rocky? are you serious?)

    in total, Network received 10 noms that year.  gg's academy, good f'n game.

    I got a second opinion from another 15 year old boy (who is a big fan of the other movies) and he said, "It wasn't that terrible." Not a glowing review.

    What I am saying is that if it is so terrible that a 15 year old boy is saying there is no plot then it must be terrible because 15 year old boys don't generally care that much about plot lines.  :dunno:

    Guardians of the Galaxy. What a joy. Summertime movie making at its best. Probably my favorite marvel movie, but I'm way more of a space epic guy than a superhero guy.


    How many swear words and sex type stuff in it?  Will I be shamed if I take grade school kids?

    For example, my kids get to see Avengers and Lord of the Rings?  How would it compare to those on swear words and sex?

    No sex. There are some swear words. No F-bombs that I can remember.

    Mrs. Gooch, let me pose a question to you and you answer as honestly as you can:

    We all know Trans4mers (see what I did there?) has dinosaurs in it. So my question is, when was the last time a movie with dinosaurs in it wasn't totally bad ass and awesome?

    Does it really have dinosaurs? Or just dinobots?

    Also, The Land Before Time was pretty badass.

    Of course it was bad ass, it had fricken dinosaurs in it. Are you starting to see my point?

    Plenty of crappy movies have dead dinosaurs in them. So I guess I should clarify by saying every movie with a living dinosaur in it is bad ass.

    completely agree here. dead dinos are a recipe for a disaster but living dinos = badass.

    have watched several movies over the week.

    The Fortress of Bears - documentary on an area with the highest concentration of brown bears on the planet. there was a heart stopping chase between a very hungry bear and a moose. high-speed, it crossed several different landscapes and culminated in a water chase. for a second i thought i was watching a michael bay movie. fantastic.

    :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon:


    Last Stand - Wtf did I just watch, and how was this an actual movie?

     :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:


    The Limits of Control - slow and methodical, didn't really do much. kept being surprised at all of the stars that signed up for minor rolls in this indie film. Was a little weird.

     :raccoon: :raccoon:


    The Internship - awful happy go-lucky movie. THINGS ALL WORK OUT IN THE END, GUYS, AND THIS WAS ONE CRAZY SUMMER.

     :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:


    The Master - I highly enjoyed this movie. The acting alone is worth the watch.

    :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon:


    Raccoon Nation - Raccoons are awesome. Good job raccoons.

     :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon:


    The Mystery of Eels - Had no idea I would find eels so interesting or that no one knows anything about them. Probably aliens.

     :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon:


    Machete Kills - Was bored pretty quickly. The schtick has gotten pretty old, fairly quickly.

     :raccoon:


    Somm - These people are insane.

    nymphomaniac vol 1 -- not really what i expected.  skellen skarsgard is just fantastic.  pretty enjoyable movie if nudity/sex doesn't bother you (not a stevesie movie).  the camera work is just amazing, but that has always been one of von trier's strong ponts. shia labouf is terrible in this though and i'm not a shia hater.  vol 2 looks kinda crazy... maybe i'll watch it tomorrow

    i know i've pimped it before, but after casual tv rewatch (@lib7), I can say that hasbro's BATTLESHIP is the most adorable movie ever

    It was good until Alexander Skarsgard got killed...



    ...ok actually it wasn't even good before then.

    I had to watch G.I. Joe:Retaliation last night even though I have not watched the first one, nor any of the cartoons.

    Cobra Commander seems like a Darth Vader knock-off.

    Also, when the two ninjas fought each other, it made me think of...

    All the talking parts were very cheesy, especially when that old blind(?) guy in Japan was saying stuff to motivate them.

    Also, why did they leave Destro in that subterranean prison?

    I was forced to watch it. I even said, "No I can't watch this. I haven't seen the first one so I won't know what is going on and I will be asking a bunch of questions during the whole movie."
    He picks all the movies we watch, so you can blame the terrible selection on him.

    While we're discussing Bill Paxton and cutting edge cinema, can we address the asinine view that critics have taken regarding a little movie called Twister? 6.2/10 on IMDb? 58% on RT? Is this real life? Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton shared an on-screen romance for the ages, not to mention PSH (rest in peace) stimulating all of our prostates with his devil-may-care nonchalance.

    Watched Snowpiercer last night (after the Royals, of course). I don't get it - 95% on rottentomatoes? Might be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Even if you set aside the completely nonsensical premise that humanities' last survivors are eternally circling the earth on a train - what? - the movie is still chock full of staggering nonsense. What was good about this movie except for maybe the a few of the amusingly over the top characters like the old blonde lady and the schoolteacher?

    Yes, I agree. I don't think that was any different from the book though.

    Also, couldn't they have cleaned some of that blood off of her before the interview?

    I wasn't upset I read the book because I really really liked the book. But yes, it is always a question of should I read the book first or not (that wasn't an option here as I had read the book before it was even made into a movie). The movie was great but I am sure it would have been even better if I didn't know what was coming. Also, I had not pictured Desi to look like NPH.

    I think we would agree on how we valued the movie, but I valued Jake's performance enough to say it's a must see. The reason the Joker was so good is because he only had like 20 minutes of screen time in a 150 minute movie, so you wanted more. I wanted more of Gyllenhaal throughout the entire movie, even though he's on camera pretty much the entire time. Such an amazing character I wish I could see more of.

    Me too. 

    Seeing it in the brand new IMAX theater at Town Center AMC was very intense.  Almost too intense.  I was physically exhausted when I left the theater.  I felt like I had just given birth, then someone killed my child in front of me, but then later it was brought back to life, and then it was taken from me again, then had to walk out to my car and go home and try to act/think like a normal person again.  Very unsettling.

    Interstellar: Some critics are just too uppity. Its a movie dude. They're like expecting it to be a life changing social commentary on love and family with flawless science. I expect a movie that is entertaining, and that's what it is. The characters are kinda more one dimensional than I had hoped, but I still really liked it. Had similar emotions to Pete. I liked the sarcastic robot a lot, and resonated with all the Dad/Kid relationship stuff.

    Gone Girl: Had to close my eyes like 4 different times. Disturbing. I liked it I guess but part of me was just more disturbed than anything else. Also (warning spoiler alert) why didn't the white trash couple that robbed Amy realize it was Amy? Especially after she resurfaced. They could have gotten her busted. And why was the woman detective just like "Yeah, she probs killed NPH but what are you gonna do? Good luck with life Nick!" I dunno. It seemed like the FBI and cops did zero investigative work after the hospital interview. I found that part pretty annoying.

    I mean, if you weren't disturbed by Gone Girl you might not have a soul. Super gross.

    SPOILERS in response to Cartier:

    I haven't seen the movie but in the book when the rednecks that rob Amy she has already gained weight and changed her hair length/color. she watches TV with the girl who eventually robs her as they are "friends" before and they watch the show that Nick goes on together, so if the girl didnt notice her when she was sitting right next to her, i doubt she would recognize her and come forward afterwards. also she killed NPH in self defense according to everyone else because she had the rape kit, hairs in the back of his trunk, tied to the bed rope burns, etc. they knew they couldnt prove it... but yeah, the ending is infuriating. i doubt they go into that much detail in the movie but maybe?

    im gonna go see gone girl friday. looking forward to it.

It seemed like the FBI and cops did zero investigative work after the hospital interview. I found that part pretty annoying.

    I mean, if you weren't disturbed by Gone Girl you might not have a soul. Super gross.

    SPOILERS in response to Cartier:

    I haven't seen the movie but in the book when the rednecks that rob Amy she has already gained weight and changed her hair length/color. she watches TV with the girl who eventually robs her as they are "friends" before and they watch the show that Nick goes on together, so if the girl didnt notice her when she was sitting right next to her, i doubt she would recognize her and come forward afterwards. also she killed NPH in self defense according to everyone else because she had the rape kit, hairs in the back of his trunk, tied to the bed rope burns, etc. they knew they couldnt prove it... but yeah, the ending is infuriating. i doubt they go into that much detail in the movie but maybe?

    im gonna go see gone girl friday. looking forward to it.

    The biggest issue I had with the whole NPH thing is...

    Surely someone saw him the day he was supposed to have kidnapped her. Her story would all fall apart if he had an alibi for the time when she was kidnapped.

    Once again Michelle Rodriguez shows her amazing range, from looking sullen to looking very angry!  Vin Diesel (modern day Sly) is always a delight, I was dropping Vin impressions all night long to whoever was nearby ("You're not afraid of the dark are you?"), but in some instances I was well into Sly territory.  I was very sad when Gisele fell into the darkness, I wanted them to go to Tokyo :(. Shaw was a great bad guy.  Didn't really need Paul IMHO.

    If you like acting, Nightcrawler. Gyllenhaal kills it (heh). Gone Girl is a fun story.

    Can not comment on the other two, but unless it's a comedy that's going to go down in history as one of the best, it's hard for me to justify seeing it in the theater.

    so I went and watched Nightcrawler.  It's pretty great to watch a matinee on a weekday where you are the only one in the theatre.  Makes you feel like you bought it.  Really nothing new to add, jg lays down some decent acting chops.  Probably his best since Zodiac.  I honestly didn't know Rene Russo was still around. 

    Good call on the Dodge porn, for fucks sake, I thought some movies were bad about advertising a car, but this one probably takes Rick's cake.

    "One Starry Christmas"  (http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/one-starry-christmas)

    This tale of Christmas love found on a bus, involving an astronomer (well, candidate) and a wayward lonely cowboy.  At one point the astronomer prays to Santa.  I enjoyed her talk about having her "dissertation" on Friday. The banter between the clearly mentally broken down parents is a great touch.  Lots of folksy cowboy wisdom, a nattily attired older brother named Bull (also a cowboy played by legendary country star George Canyon), and a smarmy city slicker lawyer make a perfect combination for Christmas magic!

    I give this three candycanes!

    Nope.  It was the manner in which the alien race utilized or triggered the power and worse how the power is transferred.  Lazy and unimaginative.  Phoned in to get to Tom being Tom, which as I said was great.  I understand what they did, but I don't respect it.  It could have been more elaborate and involved without skimping on the Tommery.  Also, the ending doesn't even fit with the simplistic rules they established. 

    I understand most people don't give a crap, but it's just a shame is all.  5th place etc.

    I thought Intersteller was pretty damned good. Got weird at the end, but sorta made sense. At least some of the science seemed vaguely familiar from my high school physics days (relativity, black holes and what not). TARS was definitely a different take on the future of robotics - I kind of liked it.

    I also liked that they didn't make the movie about climate change or religion, and how the government bureaucrats were a creepy projection of where we may actually be heading.

    bill paxton was an awesome bill paxton in that movie (eot)

    Yes he was. Would have been a little out of character but hilarious if he had gotten in a "game over man!" or other homage to Aliens.

    Yeah, totally.  Would have been rough ridin' even more lolzers if he had been mean to his younger brother and got turned into a talking pile of crap or had almost got sucked up in a tornado but saved himself with his own goddamned belt.  Too bad they missed those homage oppies.  Maybe next time, bud.

    i get cliffhangers. that's not what i'm talking about. this was just hey look at all this cool stuff that we could do and these characters and it's going to get really interesting and then nope, boom, dead, minor suspense, credits.

    i mean if it's like the book then i guess it just makes it a crappy book or something. dunno. seemed like a waste of a build up.

    He had a few days left of shooting for the fourth movie when he died. My understanding is that they just removed his character from those scenes and gave his lines to someone else.

    Book 2 ended that way, too. Book 3 is much, much worse. Just a complete trainwreck. Basically, Katniss mopes around in between dressing up to be the face of the resistance, so most of Book 3 is devoted to Katniss's mopey internal monolgues and descriptions of all her amazing dresses. There are no games, just a big war that the author had no idea how to write. It's just truly awful. The movie version will hopefully be better because it really couldn't be worse.

    Clothes I guess. Can't remember if they were technically dresses because I skimmed over those parts. I remember there was a lot of parading around in front of cameras filming commercials instead of actual fighting.

    Fury

    Some very, very good stuff here inside an overcrowded plot and some downright silly action scenes. The best moments were the mid-action closeups. I haven't seen anything that so accurately depicts the fear/outrage a war-weary man must feel as he enters combat. Some of the shots last just a second but are haunting. The acting is great.

    The plot is too much, these guys pack three wars worth of experiences into a single day. Also, the germans just line up to be slaughtered. They could have found better ways to give the audience the nazi blood we crave.

    Not the smartest war movie around but definitely worth watching, imho.

    Merriam Webster

    sarcasm - the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny

    You see, on the surface I was saying that maybe j-dub had bad taste in movies because the critics all seemed to enjoy the movie and he did not. When in reality I was poking fun at such a position in an attempt to be humorous, because as j-dub pointed out, critics are a bunch of pretentious assholes that take themselves way too seriously. Maybe Spracne can weigh in, but I thought it was an appropriate usage of sarcasm. It's possible that I'm wrong.

    I am pretty pumped about the slate of Hallmark Christmas Movies I have loaded up in the ole DVR.  I think the next one will be The Nine Lives of Christmas (http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/the-nine-lives-of-christmas).  Looks like a must-see for all of you feline fanciers out there! 

    Quote from: Synopsis
    Fireman Zachary Stone (Routh) is a confirmed bachelor who doesn’t believe in love or commitment. When a stray tabby cat named Ambrose shows up at his door, Zachary takes him in and slowly starts to see that a little companionship might not be so bad after all. Zachary’s commitment to solitude is further challenged when he meets Marilee (Sustad), an animal lover and veterinary student who teaches Zachary how to care for his new feline roommate. Chemistry immediately develops between the two, but will they find a way together despite themselves?

    Sounds purrrrrfectly romantic!

    The interaction between Ramses and Moses after Moses returned to Egypt. That's the biggest flub up.

    The handling of the red sea at the end was  :facepalm: for me. With the budget they had? That could have been much better. And it made no sense to have it end the particular way it did.

    It wasn't necessarily detrimental to the movie, but where his family is when he returns to Egypt was a complete change from the story and thus made for a bunch of drama that was unnecessary. 

    Other nitpicky things that didn't necessarily make the movie bad, but affected the story a great deal: who actually exiled Moses and why (if they handled this right they could have handled the Ramses-Moses thing mentioned above the right way)

    And as always as a Christian it is obnoxious to see them take these movies and leave the whether God exists or not as ambiguous. Believe the story or not, but staying true to the story makes it a much stronger narrative in my opinion.

     :lol: The movie is about plagues brought by God. The Red Sea parts.

    Exodus was a decent movie. Unfortunate about the changes they made to the storyline. I won't spoil anything, but why do atheist directors keep making Bible movies? Seems like they are missing the point and target audience.
    What changes did you find unfortunate?
    The interaction between Ramses and Moses after Moses returned to Egypt. That's the biggest flub up.

    The handling of the red sea at the end was  :facepalm: for me. With the budget they had? That could have been much better. And it made no sense to have it end the particular way it did.

    It wasn't necessarily detrimental to the movie, but where his family is when he returns to Egypt was a complete change from the story and thus made for a bunch of drama that was unnecessary. 

    Other nitpicky things that didn't necessarily make the movie bad, but affected the story a great deal: who actually exiled Moses and why (if they handled this right they could have handled the Ramses-Moses thing mentioned above the right way)

    And as always as a Christian it is obnoxious to see them take these movies and leave the whether God exists or not as ambiguous. Believe the story or not, but staying true to the story makes it a much stronger narrative in my opinion.

    Crazy thing is that they brought on a scientist who was an expert on black holes to consult on the film. Using his formulas in their CGI they actually made enough discoveries for him to write two scientific papers. - That in itself is pretty damn impressive.

    if you didn't enjoy the first 1.5 hours, then there was no need to follow it through. it was just more of the same.

    I liked the Thors better.  Hemsworth and Hiddleston (:love:) are infinitely superior to Pratt and those other plebes.  Also the Avengers.  I like Captain America more too I suppose.  I mean I finished it without thinking about turning it off once.  We watch Pixar and Dreamworks constantly.  The eldest won't watch anything else.  I like the vast majority of them a lot.  That's why I was puzzled at my GoG apathy. :confused:

    As far as the last year, I haven't seen too many.  I liked Edge of Tomorrow, Star Trek Into Darkness and Pacific Rim just fine.  Elysium and Oblivion were crap for the most part.

    It is a space opera written by the Wachowski brothers (apparently one of them changed genders), not a film based on a young adult book series about a girl who has to save everyone and then will eventually have the third book turned into two movies.

    Watched "Headhunters" on Netflix last night. Action/thriller. Apparently it's the highest grossing Norwegian movie of all time. It's definitely worth a watch if you don't mind subtitles.

    Steve Carell could legitimately win an Oscar for Best Actor and would not be surprised to see a Best Picture nomination.

    Pretty good and worth a watch.  One of those movies that seemed to have a pretty solid concept and just didn't quite deliver on it.

    *spoiler*
    yeah, what an ending. so like, the guy was willing to move on throughout the whole movie while his wife was not, and so that's what decisions each ended up making at the end? idk. great concept. it's like the writer should have brought somebody else in to help him finish it off or something. i enjoyed it tho

    the skeleton twins. 

    for a movie with such depressing themes, i really found myself enjoying watching it.  kristin wiig (sp?) and bill hadar are really good.  but man, a real downer movie.  you'll laugh.  you'll cry. 

    if you're the type of person who can enjoy a movie that revolves around suicide, then give it a watch.  otherwise, find something else.

    Not always. Shawshank Redemption was a much better movie than the Stephen King short story. Same with Misery. Same with Stand by Me. Actually, a lot of King books probably make for better movie fodder than books.

    Blade Runner

    The Godfather

    just finished whiplash.  this movie is GOOD.  favorite movie i've seen in some time.  maybe since spectacular now.  that miles teller is in some pretty good flicks.

    i guess kind of heavy but man hader is just so good that it was kind of fun for me. also, i may or may not have started netflix wonder years three hours ago and am in lisa berlinni s1e6 where he asks her to the dance. man how will this end?  :dunno:

    I like funny-weird movies (for example, Wes Anderson stuff), but Frank was mostly just depressing-weird. Only had a few genuinely funny moments. Would skip. Or maybe just watch the first half hour for the bizarre novelty of a guy wearing a huge fake head all the time, but the movie doesn't ever really take off or get any better.

    KSU Wildcats is wrong.  It's a charming movie.  And besides, if RD can handle Skeleton Twins (which far outweighed Frank on the "depressing-weird" scale), then he'll handle Frank.  And the less you know about Frank the better.  Don't IMDB it.  Try not to figure out who Frank is.  I knew who it was going into it (read a review) but the payoff would've been so much better had I not.

    I also watched Barney's Version last night.  Paul Giamatti is probably my favorite actor.  The movie was so so, but watching Paul Giamatti (and Dustin Hoffman) act for a few hours is always time well spend.

    Skeleton Twins was much funnier than Frank, more entertaining, and not even close on the "depressing-weird" scale to Frank. Overall, Skeleton Twins was actually pretty uplifting. Frank was just weird and not that funny. If I'm going watch something bizarre, it has to at least be entertaining. After two hours of that I was like "well, crap, that sure was weird and a waste of two hours."

    I did not care for American Sniper as much as I was hoping.

    Spoilers (sort of) - I thought a lot of it was heavy handed. Too many conversations stating things that they were already showing or needed to be shown. For a movie that was supposed to be about a soldier's mental health when he was home and how he overcomes it, they showed very, very little of it.

    world war z was OK for a pretty worn out genre.

    I may have told this story, but I'm going to tell it again. I watched it on a plane, and when Brad Pitt is on the plane and realizes there were zombies, it all of a sudden cut to Brad Pitt and whoever was with him in some field. I asked the person that recommended the movie WTF that was about, and she explained that the plane crashed. The damn airline edited out the plane crash!

    Seems like they would have only offered movies that didn't include a plane crash instead of going to the trouble of editing it out.

    I think you're being facetious, but if not, I guess I don't really see it as propoganda.   And I'm on the left side of the aisle. 

    To me, it's a tragedy.   I had read the book, and know all about his other issues, but clearly Kyle had a defective personality that made him feel the need to be a protector.     I didn't really take away anything as glorifying war or "war porn".

    I haven't seen American Sniper, but I heard that Chris Kyle is the guy who got sued by Jesse Ventura for libel, and Ventura won, which means he had a pretty strong case to actually win a libel suit. If Kyle lied about Ventura to promote his book, doesn't that call into question the veracity of the book itself?

    I mean, I'm still going to see the movie because its success seems to be really annoying the left, but the libel suit takes a little of the polish off for me.

    its a movie, not a documentary

    his book is a memoir with a flawed narrator.

    I'll help you with this, clams. In the final 10 minutes he heads off to college, but not before his mom starts balling and questioning what the rest of her life is for with the last kid out of the house and no husband (super depressing). He then leaves for college and meets his roommate. He hits it off with his roommate and his roommate asks him if he wants to skip orientation and go hiking and do some drugs with some hotties. He agrees to the terms and gets super rough ridin' high while they're climbing through canyons (looked like uteps area) and talking about the meaning of life with one another. He finally starts tripping balls with one of the girls and they gaze eachother in the eyes after talking about some deep crap. Credits roll after that, so you assume they banged, which, good for him since his last gf was a whore.

    Overall, it's a really overrated movie, but i'm happy he got it in, in the end.

    He was in two movies last year, and they were by far my favs of '14. He is such a delight.

    ed norton had a streak of 3 straight movies that are the best 3 straight movie appearances by any actor in the history of the world.

    1998-1999

    Rounders
    American History X
    Fight Club

    Harrison Ford had

    1980-1982

    Empire Strikes back
    Raiders of the Lost Ark
    Blade Runner

    Ed Norton's run was better, Harrison Ford's was more popular. I think they're both fine with that.

    Fight Club sucked.

    sure it does, hence why studios plan timing.  There are  goals for a studio - get the movie in the year they think it will compete best in, and time it so if they think they have a good movie that may be otherwise forgettable, that it drops a month or 2 before nominations, so it's still in theaters and fresh in voters minds.

    Awesome writing. Great story. Intense the whole way. If you leave for the bathroom or soda you will definitely miss something. Stonestreet has some fun lines while playing an otherwise serious role. He was fantastic. James Marsden is awesome as well. For those into trivia Marsden's dad is a professor at K-State. It's @TheLoftMovie on Twitter. It's an old-fashioned who done it meets Basic Instinct kind of thing. You will enjoy this movie.

    Glad you liked it.  I plan to see it when I get a chance just because Eric Stonestreet is in it.  Questions, though -- is Stonestreet's part kind of a bit part?  I was surprised to see he was barely visible in the trailer -- just two split-second views of his face and no speaking part.  On Rottentomatoes you can't even see him on the cast list unless you hit the drop-down menu (he's positioned 9th of 10 in the cast).  Surprising that if he was one of the core cast members that the movie publicity would basically shut him, a popular two-time Emmy winner, out of the trailer. 

    And then there's the 0% Rottentomatoes critics' consensus rating.  I've used that site as a screening tool for years and that is the first zero rating I've ever seen on a movie I was interested in seeing.  The critics'  consensus isn't always on the money (American Sniper got only 73%), but with a movie with some redeeming factors there are usually at least a few who like it.

    He is one of the main five characters. He had some of the most fun lines of the bunch. When you see it you immediately feel like you must watch it again to pick up on any details you might've missed. Big credit to the writing. Really enjoyed him in a serious role but he is also the guy that loosens things up a bit. You'll quickly understand this in watching it.

    I was interested as well because Stonestreet was in it. After reading 5 reviews  and all said in not so kind words it stinks, think we will go to Unbroken on Sunday, the book was excellent.  I read some reviews of the Belgium version of The Loft released several years ago that were very good, I don't care for subtitles and of course no Stonestreet.

    I don't read movie reviews. I just go to what interests me. I thought it was good. Really enjoyed Unbroken too. American Sniper is better than Unbroken. The Loft is a real good suspense/thriller and really enjoyed it.

    the judge- it was ok.
    whiplash- pretty darn good.
    liberal arts- enjoyed it. very dlewy.
    wasn't whiplash fantastic?  JK Simmons has always been a pretty fun actor, but man, was he something in Whiplash.

    i've never heard of liberal arts.  decent enough reviews on rotten tomatoes and i can see the little sundance insignia on the poster.  looks like something i'd enjoy.

    Also, I watched Frank again last night.  And yep, still good.

    yeah. the movie was very good but jk simmons was great. i do think you would enjoy liberal arts.

    I really liked the wittiness of the first half of Frank. Once it started to get serious it felt like a good independent film, not great like the first half did.

    Bronson has an incredible performance by Hardy. It's almost like an in depth character analysis of The Joker as a real person. You can't take your eyes of him because you never know what's going to happen next, whether it be kill someone or kiss them.

    I saw Rain Man for the first time. Probably not fair because my expectations were so high after all the awards it won and was nominated for. But I thought Hoffman's performance was great, very endearing. Tom Cruise was great, not asked to do much. His transition felt a little forced and dramatic. Overall and Oscar-bait film.

    Just watched An American Movie for the first time. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a documentary about some hicks trying to make a movie (or three or four). It's hilarious and fun/sad to know that there are people in the world like that. Mostly fun.

    Yeah, he definitely transitioned, but he just saw it as the culmination of his life to that point. "THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!"  I'm sure that was true -- he'd definitely built it up. 

    But man, is Frank a great character or what.  "KISS ME!  KISS ME! KISS ME APHRODITE!"  :lol:

    lots of movies have no music over the credits.

    But the theater after American Sniper was a vacuum at the showing I went to.    Dead silent as everyone shuffled out, nobody speaking a word.   No "hey what are we doing for dinner"....

    Sony & Marvel Studios officially announce new joint Spider-man franchise

    Quote

    Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.


    I am so excited you guys!!

    Yes. It is worth watching for a certain cameo, but the storyline is befuddling. Crowe is way way over the top with his character which can be fun. It tries to be romantic, so it could be a good one to cozy up to. I definitely wouldn't pay more than whatever redbox is charging these days to see it.

    The right thing was to let Feige's team do it.  The MCU is incapable of releasing a bad movie.  Even Ant-Man looks good.

    Hopefully, by "Final Creative Control" Sony means, "We'll rubber stamp anything you do because our Spider Man movies suck and yours will probably be awesome."

    Also, Spider Man in the Avengers.  :surprised:

    Probably in the Infinity War saga!  :excited: :Woohoo: :Woot:

    I was reading some rumors and there is a popular theory that the civil war storyline will last through three films - Captain America, Black Panther, then the standalone Spiderman. Which would be awesome because Spidey plays such a huge roll in the Civil War storyline. I am pretty excited to have Spiderman under the control of Fiege and a part of the MCU.

    Rumors are also putting Logan Lerman as the favorite to take up the roll as a teenage Peter Parker.

    Logan Lerman:

    Was hoping for more.  Looked like it was made in eastern europe with a bunch of english as a second language actors.  Strange that they would be trying to make a movie for Americans like that.  With that and the ridiculous premise going for it, somehow it was still disappointing.  That mermaid only killed like 3 or 4 people which hardly seemed adequate.

    The dude that killed Chris Kyle and his buddy is currently on trial for the murders here in the DFW area... Pretty crazy crap.

    This news chick live tweets the trial and it's a pretty good follow:  https://twitter.com/ttsiaperas

    As a side note, apparently the movie was to end with Routh gunning down Kyle and Littlefield, but Kyle's wife veto'd it "for the kids" that would be seeing the movie.

    Quote
    Although a visual double was used, all of Andrew's drumming were performed by Miles Teller himself to pre-recorded tracks. About 40% of Teller's drumming was used in the soundtrack.

    Quote
    Miles Teller, who has played the drums since he was 15, received blisters on his hands due to the vigorous, unconventional style of jazz drumming. Some of his blood was on the drumsticks and the drum set as a result.

    Fifty Shades of Grey: Sexiest Comedy of the Year

    1. For God's sake Christian, get her a smart phone.
    2. Jamie Dornan (#notmychristian) and Dakota Johnson actually did not do too bad.
    3. Dakota Johnson has a pretty large nipple/boob ratio.
    4. Those jeans were all wrong. It looked like he just bought them. #notmychristiansjeans
    5. Christian was a lot less controlling and stalkerish in the movie than the book.

    I'd recommend the movie if you are a 20-30 something woman who enjoyed the books (or Wackycat).

    Birdman: Different. Do not regret watching.

    Nightcrawler. Entertaining but VERY creepy. Maybe too creepy.

    John Wick. Keanu Reeves stars in a movie with 83% positive rating on Rottentomatoes. Total waste of time. what is wrong with people? (critics and audience) Only redeeming factor is they were smart enough to not give Keanu Reeves many lines of dialogue.

    The Judge. zzzzzzzzzz money-grubbing lawyer/guy from Iron Man's mom dies he goes back and has to represent his father (The Judge) WILL HE REDEEM HIMSELF IN THE END AND EMBRACE HIS SMALL-TOWN ROOTS AND WHY SHOULD I CARE zzzzzzzzzzz

    Predestination. Good reviews on Rottentomatoes, has a bit of a "gotcha" twist at the end. Might have made a good 30 or 60 minute twilighty-zone-type tv show

    2014 Awards:

    Worst Performance of the Year: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood


    That's all.

    Patricia Arquette is to actresses what Keanu Reeves would be to actors but for the matrix and speed

    is she always high and whiny, or is that "acting?"

    looks like a pretty good horror movie.  will watch this weekend and report back.

    watched, was weird
    when i was looking for movies to watch the other night, that one was on all the the lists i usually turn to.

    good to know it sucks.

    watched it. very good film. its the kind of movie i would refer to as a film. intense creepyness and spookyness and uncomfortable feelings. excellent craftsmanship. would recommend.

    Babadook was excellent.  Good horror and also good depiction of parents sometimes regretting their shitty kids (I imagine this is the case pretty often)

    Days of Thunder - A lot of famous actors in the movie.  Drivers go from spinning out to competing for first in about 30 seconds a lot.  Seems far fetched but I don't really follow racing.

    Collector/Collection movies - Slightly better Saw movies I guess.  I really don't know why a murderer would booby trap someone else's house after already having captured them, but whatever.

    Holy crap you guys, Interstellar was amazing! Mind blown! :kaboom:

    But, be honest, were you kinda mad at the ending?
    A little bit, but I got it. Ms. Wacky wasn't thrilled, but I thought it was really interesting.

    Imitation Game-very good movie about a topic I've always been interested in and it never ceases to stun me when I see stories that deal with archaic laws that managed to stay on the books for far too long.   

    Oblivion-Excellent cinematography and special effects, thimble deep plot with a slight twist

    It has been a minute but (if you want to read the spoiler, drag your cursor over it)

    *spoiler* all the other Tom Cruises. The fact that there are hundreds on the planet and in that spaceship. Will they now all coexist together? Or when Olga Kurlyenko accidently kills one she can go grab another one? Or will their be a mass genocide of the clones? They all seemed just ok with a replacement. Boggled my mind. *spoiler*

    I thought it was good, Wacky. Always interesting to see an actor like Carrell play a serious role when you're used to seeing him in comedies. I had not heard the story of the Schultz Bros before so the ending was a little surprising, but also kinda predictable.

    And for a couple moments in the middle of the movie I wondered the same thing :surprised:

    (I don't think they did tho)

    The RL Mark Schultz was supper pissed for even suggesting that they did, after the movie came out.

    Come on, man/woman. Let's cut the comedy.

    Just because you saw The Class, about the french school system, and kind of enjoyed it and were surprised, doesn't mean that any old thing should have a motion picture made about it.

    You know, guys/gals?

    Chime in here. Speak up.

    We can't quite hear you. A little louder, please?

    Oh, you have a sore throat? Sorry, we didn't know.

    you guys John Wick kind of sucks and it's weird that lot of people said it didn't

    John Wick is pretty much just Matrix 4, but it's the role Keanu was born to play. And besides, Matrix 1 and most of 2 rocked. So did John Wick. They killed his dog. He got revenge. Sometimes simple is best.

    The only interesting idea in Interstellar is the loss of time due to space travel.

    The only other thing anyone should be thinking about is how awesome it is to sit there and watch on that IMAX screen and hear that organ music blasting. Thrill ride.

    Yeah it's Irish and is super hard for me to understand.  That's the thing with me and irish or british films that have a lot of cockney in them.  So hard for me to get used to the accents and also follow the movie.

    I've always been fascinated with Las Vegas, and after recently visiting for the first time have been digging into its history quite a bit lately. Found a pretty cool PBS American Experience documentary called Las Vegas: An Unconventional History on Youtube.

    It's pretty informative and does an entertaining and thoughtful job of chronicling the city's first 100 years (1905-2005).

    First link is part 1, and the second part 2.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E19FnZ5588A

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw71Gu32sFs

    It kind of makes me sad that I'll never be able to experience the city in its heyday, and leaves me a bit jealous of those who were able to visit the place in the 50s and 60s.

    This is almost the perfect film. Buddy Revell stands with Bill the Butcher, Darth Vader and Beetlejuice as the greatest villains in film history. A must watch.

    "oh steve carrell was amazing in that!" i mean he was really different than Michael Scott, i guess, but the filmmakers really did not ask him to do anything. where was the depth of the character? oh he did cocaine once in a helicopter, wow, what a performance.

    peggy po: they absolutely nailed the wrestler walk. you know where the arms are always kind of bent forward? channing and ruffalo crushed that.

    on a serious note tho, i do like it when "comedians" do "serious" roles, because i think they're really good at it. i think most comedians can trace the roots of their craft to some type of defense mechanism or mask, to hide real emotions, etc., and sometimes when they get to do a really serious F'd up role, there's a lot of depth there. but as i mentioned earlier, there was nothing for steve carrell to do with this one.
    Title: Re: Recent motion picture viewing - Add your own!
    Post by: DQ12 on May 09, 2015, 10:49:10 AM
    i mean, the idea behind the praise for Carrell's role was that he played a super odd character that a lot of people probably couldn't have done, and was certainly different from any character he's done in the past -- even his non comedic characters (i.e. his role in the way way back).  i mean, the movie may not have been great (but a lot of people would argue with you [not me]), but Carrell did a good job portraying this very bizarre, spooky character.


    and you should really get rid of that spoiler.  i don't care about it, but some people who haven't seen it might.

    Weaknesses: PLOT PLOT PLOT... This is obviously a little early after release to discuss spoilers, but you didn't roll your eyes at the convince of the whole "I did it LAST night" reveal? 
    Also Ava claims to start the outages by overloading the circuits with a spike of of electricity when she charges, yet multiple times the outages happen when she is sitting being interviewed. This led me to believe that there might yet be another explanation, but no, it's just poor writing.

    I couldn't help but think it was a long episode of Black Mirror. It probably has something to do with the fact that the redhead actually starred in one of the Black Mirror episodes, but the plot line fits in perfectly with that show.

    Did anyone else feel that way?


    Now that you say that, yes.

    Upon rewatching it I agree. Ava initially tells Caleb that she overloads the circuits when shes recharging on her energy panels. She says she just reverses the flow of electricity and it overloads the power and blows the circuits. I took this at face value the first time, but the second time through it is clear she must be lying about the nature of exactly how she causes the power outages. It is quite possible she was programing them somehow.

    i love it when fanning takes a stand on something non controversial like it's super controversial. like "yeah i saw pitch perfect, what of it? bring it on you guys, i'm not afraid. i mean i saw it and i'm cool with it so you guys can back off cause you're the weird ones. like why do you guys even have an issue with it? i mean, a guy can't see a movie with girls? you guys are weird. you guys need to grow up. you guys have emotional issues". meanwhile nobody has said anything and nobody would because going to see pitch perfect is completely fine and normal.

    Saw Fury Road in 3d opening weekend, great non-stop action (except for goofy love scene development between the redhead gal and skinhead guy).

    Ex Machina had great plot and tension.  Both great movies.  Ex Machina will be like Blade Runner in 20 years, people will look back at it and appreciate it more.  Like Blade Runner, Ex Machina was not a box office smash, but a very good movie that will age well.

    True, but it lost money at the box office, and wasn't a big deal at the time.  It eventually was recognized as a  sci-fi watermark film, as it should be.  I'm predicting that Ex Machina (great movie, so-so at the box office) will be like that eventually.

    This is probably accurate. Both, like all sci-fi classics, utilize symbols and characters within their respective films to discuss broader and deeper topics.

    Draft Day

    Pretty good movie about the NFL Draft assuming you have never seen an NFL Draft or have any idea of what the value of one draft pick is compared to other draft picks.

    About Time

    It's a very adorable movie involving one of my favorite movie things, time travel. Starring that ginger guy that was in Ex Machina and Rachel McAdams.  Yeah there were some plot holes and violations of time travel rules that were mentioned early in the movie by the main character's father but I was willing to overlook these in the name of entertainment.

    Miami Vice (film)

    I know it'd old. Let me first say I LOVE just about anything Michael Mann does. The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Collateral are all some of my favorite movies. The plot itself is pretty shitty, Colin Farrell was completely miscast, but anytime my guy Mike gets behind the camera I get all hot and bothered. You get it all, choppers, go fast boats, super fast cars, women. The whole nine. Take it at face value, see the film, and enjoy yourself.

    These Final Hours. Comet strikes the North Atlantic and there's about 12 hours before the shock wave envelopes the entire planet. Zero chance of survival. Story takes place in Perth on the opposite side of the world. As you might expect, those last 12 hours when you know you're going to die - it's just a matter of how you spend your time and whether you check out early, is pretty grim. But also a really fascinating movie.

    Is this the fourth or fifth one? I've def seen the first three, but I can't remember if there was a fourth.

    I'll never forget seeing the first one as a kid in the theater on opening night. That brachiosaurus was a seminal moment in movie history. They all sucked pretty hard after that. Lost World definitely sucked. Btw, the JP book by Michael Crichton is really excellent.

    I saw Mad Max and Jurassic World within a 24 hour period of each other. If you can only see one, Mad Max is definitely the way to go. Jurassic World is fun, entertaining, but it's not a smart movie. I mean, the guy is "controlling" velociraptors for God's sake. Everyone laughed when this happened in JP3, why not now? And I have a theory about this movie, and it's not really a spoiler, but avoid the next part if you want to know nothing about the movie:

    One of the first things you see is a large dinosaur eating a large shark, possibly a jab at Jaws. Then you mock the dinosaurs that were terrifying in the first JP, the raptors and T-Rex, openly saying that people are bored by them these days. It seems to be an allegory for monsters in the entertainment industry. Poor Spielberg, amirite?

    Ok, went to meet some EMAWS, and they were watching some movie that had some goofballs playing softball.  I questioned their movie selection, and the guy hosting said "wait, in awhile there'll be a part where a woman shoots ping pong balls out of her pu$$y".  Wow, I was skeptical, but sure enough, about 40 minutes later, there's a bachelor party scene with that behavior taking place.  Guys were batting at the balls like whiffleball.  My favorite line:
    Guy 1 to Guy 2, as ping pong ball whizzes by  "Aren't you going to catch that?"
    Guy 2  "Hell no, I'm not touching that!"

    Overall, juvenile but entertaining ("Beer League" with Artie Lange)

    Watched Paranormal Activity: Marked Ones last night.

    Made me jump a few times. Kind of cool. Not very scary. Haven't seen any of the others except the first one. Confused a bit by the very end of the movie, when he walked through the portal into a house. Prob shouldn't be, but was at least level 6. They really liked using that go-pro in this one.

    Gone Girl - wow no wonder Rosamund Pike got an Oscar nomination.  There's psycho, then there's totally psycho, then totally rough ridin' psycho.....and Amy Dunne was a couple of levels above that.  I was terrified of her character.  I liked this movie so much I watched it later the same night and the second time around time I realized how it can be considered more of a dark comedy.  Anyone else pick up on the dark comedy vibes?

    Emily Rjsfgalwjski's jugs - wish I had seen this in an IMAX theater

    Tyler Perry - never have/ever will see one of his Madea movies and his acting ability seems to get ripped for those but I thought his character in this movie was great.

    Reznor/Ross score was outstanding

    After Earth - this is apparently jayden smith's autobiography as imagined by will smith and written and directed by m night shymalan. It is very horrible, do not watch. my primary complaint: WHY DOES EVERYBODY TALK SO rough ridin' WEIRD. jayden smith clearly has the R-W speach impediment thing, which is fine, but he was the narrator AND they compensated by making  everyone else in the movie talk the same way. Like it was just the way that people 1000 years in the future talked. whatever.

    Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead - wow! what a time capsule! but what kind of movie is this? who is it for? it has the doofy hamminess of a kids movie, but weed, death, sex, and middle fingers like an adult movie. I learned alot about eyebrows, acting, fashion, morality, and doing chores. I think it is targeted exactly at 17 year olds from the 90's who just graduated high school.

    John Wick - started off looking like one of the most revengiest of revenge flicks I have seen in a long time.  It tried to be stylish and action filled but honestly the movie got more meh as it went along.  I really don't think the human death toll was justified by the event that set him off to begin with.  I mean yeah killing a guy's puppy is a total dick move but Wick killed like 78 people in retaliation.  Seriously it was about 78, I even Googled "John Wick death toll" because at one point I started laughing at the absurd amount of people Wick was killing.

I thought the movie was hilarious.  Many laugh out loud parts for me and lots of action for the kids.  The only thing that bothered me is that I recognized the voice of the evil octopus "Dave" the entire movie but I just couldn't place it.  In the credits I found out it was John Malkovich.  Also that Ben Cumberbatch guy you guys all like was in it.  I think one of the penguins.

    BTW, next week is Dolphin Tale 2.  Will I need to see Dolphin Tale 1 first to understand the plot or no?

    Would I enjoy it? Was trying to talk my lady into watching it the other night.
    Imagine a horror movie, where the monster/spirit/ghost/etc. only follows the person who had sex last. That's how they pass on the curse. You tell me, spracs!  :Wha:

    Just came out on demand last night, friend. Ms. wacky and I turned out the lights and made a vodka drink. It's such a silly movie, but very entertaining. Real life wackster quote last night to ms. wacky when she started trying to break down the silliness: "Are you not entertained?!"

    "The following" is a "horror movie" with @katdaddy taste. Great story line. Very creative.

    It Follows?  Only thing i could find under the following was the tv show and a movie from the 80s.

    after earth was terrible, just flat out garbage.  i seriously watched like 15 min and was getting physically sick from its terribleness.  what kind of accent did will smith have?  i mean my god nobody talks like that on any planet.  i love will but he really hurt his entire career by being a part of that movie IMHO.

    M. Night has a couple decent movies but he hasnt had a good one in a long time.

    this article perfectly describes how i feel about after earth, will, and M Night after watching some of after earth

    Interstellar may be my new favorite movie, maybe it's because I love space and time and physics and math and junk, but the "last 30 min lost me" statement is rather odd to me. fantastic movie

    I have watched this like 10 times and pick up new things every single time. Fantastic movie...arguably the best since Oblivion and/or Inception.

    yeah i loved it, i got it from redbox but i am going to buy it so i can watch it multiple times again.

    I finally saw Wet Hot American Summer.  Some LOL parts, some really dumb parts, and some blah parts.  I'd give it 2.5 tacos.

    I guess I walked in thinking I'd get something like Dazed and Confused, and it was nothing like that at all.  I vaguely remember really liking "The State" when I was in High School, but WHAS wasn't nearly as good as I remember that being.

    Anyway, I'll still watch the new WHAS on Netflix.

    I enjoyed Rosamund Pike's portrayal of a true sociopath in "Gone Girl."

    Fave part was after she got jacked by the hillbillies and she screamed into a pillow because she was so mad. Furious anger right there.

    The rest of the movie was pretty great too. Agree with whoever said it is pretty disturbing.

    How "adult" is new Jurassic park movie?  I mean I know it is PG-13, but can grade school kids see this?
    toddlerdobber loves JP1. dobberjr saw JW. dobberjr thinks we shouldn't let toddlerdobber watch this at the theater. He thinks it will scare toddlerdobber with noise and the big screen.

    How old is this dobberjr person? And why are they trying to turn their little brother/sister into a pussy?
    My apologies for lack of update. Jr. is 12.
    Toddlerdobber saw JW at the theater twice. He cried during his first experience. He had to go to the bathroom and was walking down the aisle leaving the theater yelling, "PAUSE IT! PAUSE IT!" Tears occurred when they refused to pause it.

    Ted 2 = Funny, but absolutely no story line at all. It's set up and produced exactly like an episode of Family Guy. Good laughs, but i wish I had that hour and a half of my life back.
    Dope = I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I would describe it as a mixture of Superbad/Project X/21.
    Mad Max = Incredible
    The Water Diviner = I liked this movie quite a bit. Russel Crowe does a great job as the lead.
    Chappie = One of my favorite movies in the past 6 months or so. Very funny and very well made. Good story line also!

Last third slows down and kind of boringly tells the ending, which is to be expected because hey easy is dead, dre just sells beats/doesn't make them and ice cube apparently signed like a life time deal to make crappy family movies with nia lang.

    i think i was able to fit two in by starting Ex Machina right when i boarded the plane, then had about 1:40 for another movie the rest of the flight. but i know what you mean.

    Recently enjoyed Time Lapse, rented on amz for $0.99, time travel movie with some unexpected (to me) twists. It is better than this makes it sound:

    TIME LAPSE explores the possibilities of time travel through a machine that is capable of taking pictures 24 hours into the future. When three friends discover this mysterious machine in their neighbor's apartment, they encounter a number of pressing questions, not least of which is the whereabouts of their neighbor. Realizing the potential impact of the machine, Finn (Matt O'Leary), Jasper (George Finn), and Callie (Danielle Panabaker) attempt to cash in on their discovery. But, when a dangerous criminal learns their secret, the friends must set aside their differences and confront the paradox of a future that was once predetermined and entirely uncertain. Using an engaging blend of action, humor, and philosophy, TIME LAPSE is an original thriller that not only keeps the audience guessing, but also explores questions of pre-determination, free will and destiny.

    Watched Mad Max Fury Road. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. There's no shame in enjoying a dopey movie with amazing action and visuals.

    After that I decided to watch the first three Maxes. Never saw them before. The first one was complete crap. Can't believe they made a sequel. The second was very dated but at least decent. I can understand why people thought it was good at the time. Then there's Thunderdome. Oh my god. :lol: What a crap spectacle. Can't believe they made a fourth, but glad they did.

    Also recently watched Rescue Dawn, a Vietnam movie from maybe 10 years ago. Even though I kinda suspect Christian Bale is a douchebag bad person IRL and it comes across in the movie, still enjoyed it.

    Went and watched Black Mass tonight (with Dalvin Warmack nonetheless). Very good, with an amazing cast. I wish it was an hour longer. There were zero scenes that I was uninterested in, and there are so many interesting characters and relationships that take place over the course of 10 years that I can't believe it was only 2 hours long. How the hell is The Departed longer?

    Side conversation: my buddy and I were discussing how difficult it is to see someone as a different character after seeing them for so many hours as a specific character. For instance, Jesse Plemons as Todd or Landry, Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, and of course Adam Scott as Ben. Anyway, we thought this could be an issue going forward as more and more good actors get into television series going forward.

    you get on the superhighway and ding the flick, i will find it and rebuke your opinion so rough ridin' hard your head will spin.

    here's what people like you, who can't appreciate a score relative to its supporting technology, don't get- the score balances the flick.  the flick balances the score.

    About 3/4th the way through.  Easily better than Frozen, and is trouncing Tangled as well.  Now, this is a live mother rough ridin' action movie, not cartoons, so you better get that through your rough ridin' heads right now!

    My exact remarks after viewing "Frozen" for the first time:  "Well, it's no Tangled, but it was fine."  Tangled is just a superior film in every way, and it's really not close.

    Now for Cinderella.  Pretty good.  I enjoyed it and I thought the visuals and acting were great.  Funny, sweet, emotional at times, just a good family friendly movie.  4 year old son started playing with trucks after about 30 minutes after asking "when is something going to happen?" but he came around once the fairy god-mother showed up.  It did dive a little deeper into the characters back stories and motivations, which I appreciated, but the kids would have liked a little more action.

    As for Pete's assertion that it "trounced" Tangled, well, lol no.  Cinderella can't hold Tangled's jock which is a weird way of putting it I know but I'm going to go with it anyway.

    i realize this step mom wasnt quite married yet so you probably left her out but i think for the sake of argument that shes the best evil step mother in modern film.

    "the net" is actually an abbreviation for "the internet" which is what the movie is about. 
    the movie explores how the internet ("the net") can be used for evil purposes while at the same time simplifying our everyday lives.  there's even one scene where the protagonist, angela bennett, orders a pizza from a local pizza parlor over the internet.  if you told me in 1995 that i would be ordering a pizza on the internet, i would have looked at you like you were crazy.  i guess it's just another example of life imitating art, because i rarely call a pizza joint anymore if i'm in the mood for a pie, much more likely a scenario is one where i log into my pizza places's webpage and just  order one virtually.  it's pretty amazing to think about.

    Transcendence. 

    This movie certainly transcended from merely bad to awful piece of crap.  Johnny Depp's "acting" was completely lifeless....his character was the same in human form as it was in computer form.  Also WTF was up with his accent?  One scene he's a normal American dude and the next scene he's coming to you from jolly old England.  And that's when I could actually understand him, most of his lines were mumbled.  Also a blatant Lawnmower Man ripoff.

    Watched Mad Max Fury Road. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. There's no shame in enjoying a dopey movie with amazing action and visuals.

    After that I decided to watch the first three Maxes. Never saw them before. The first one was complete crap. Can't believe they made a sequel. The second was very dated but at least decent. I can understand why people thought it was good at the time. Then there's Thunderdome. Oh my god. What a crap spectacle. Can't believe they made a fourth, but glad they did.
    It was a very shitty movie. What was up with that guitar playing dork? Completely ruined the vibe. Like, ok, you guys were kind of scary kind of looked like clowns but now you look like a bunch of irl clowns. Also the night shots looked like they were shot during the day and they just changed the color of everything. Highly recommended if you like two hours of cars running into each other though

Also I mentioned it in the credit card thread, but I was watching this on a Singapore Air flight and we were about to arrive and it got paused while the pilot was making his announcements in like four languages and the Asian lady was frozen on the screen for what seemed like an eternity.

    Is Inside Out a girl Disney movie? Or just a gender-neutral pixar one? I forgot about that one. I cried at Inside Out in the theatre.

    I actually didn't cry for Inside Out. (although I have cried during at least 3 pixar/dreamworks movies in the last couple years)  My wife audibly sobbed in the movie theater though.  She just lost it in a way that I hadn't seen her lose it in the theater since King Kong.

    I liked the first one OK.  But it's kind of like the progression of Die Hard in that in the first one they were just some normal guys, racing some cars, committing some small time crimes and doing anything for family.  Now (and I've only seen the 1st half of the move) somehow they've morphed into some elite black ops team that works for the government and they do things like parachute out of an airplane in their cars, drive them off of 100 foot cliffs and drive out the windows of skyscrapers and then land in the skyscraper next door (twice). The franchise fell hard into the bigger is better trap for 7 straight movies and this end result is just silly.

    hey bad person, maybe you could say that you agree with rusy and i. or whatever don't.

    Getting ready to watch Ex Machina, and settle this debate.  I will warn you, I very much enjoyed Mad Max.  However, my sincere hope is that the two are not mutually exclusive, and that I can build bridges of understanding and love both movies.   WE WILL SEE!!!!

    Watched Cinderella. The Fairy Godmother transformation scene with HBC was hilarious and well done. I also enjoyed that this movie was a Game of Thrones reunion of sorts. But most of the movie was kinda slow and meh.

    Also, I don't want to start another fight here, but Tangled better than Frozen? Granted, Tangled is a criminally underrated movie, but the music alone in Frozen elevates it to another league. It had 4 or 5 songs that are better than anything in Tangled. It's a only a few numbers short of a full fledged Broadway musical.

    Rounding out the list of kids movies I've seen recently, Home. Kinda funny, pretty average.

    Watched Mad Max Fury Road. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. There's no shame in enjoying a dopey movie with amazing action and visuals.

    After that I decided to watch the first three Maxes. Never saw them before. The first one was complete crap. Can't believe they made a sequel. The second was very dated but at least decent. I can understand why people thought it was good at the time. Then there's Thunderdome. Oh my god. What a crap spectacle. Can't believe they made a fourth, but glad they did.
    It was a very shitty movie. What was up with that guitar playing dork? Completely ruined the vibe. Like, ok, you guys were kind of scary kind of looked like clowns but now you look like a bunch of irl clowns. Also the night shots looked like they were shot during the day and they just changed the color of everything. Highly recommended if you like two hours of cars running into each other though

    Well it's definitely dopey, but if you suspend disbelief and just enjoy how completely over the top it is, it's very entertaining.

    Ex Machina. What a pretentious load of crap. The worst thing about this movie is not the movie itself, but all the dumbasses waxing philosophical about how deep this movie is. Like Newman, there's not more to this movie than it appears - there's less. At least the inventor was somewhat entertaining.

    They're completely different genres. Mad Max was a well executed if brainless action movie. Ex Machina was supposedly a "thoughtful" science fiction suspense thriller that had very little thought or suspense. What made it good?

I mean *spoiler* that girl was just going to get hit by a bus in the real world and that would have been the end of it for a long time. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good story on a personal level.

    spoilers

    I mean, the term "deep" has kind of a negative connotation, but it did make a pretty clever point, I thought.  The entire movie, the audience kind of identifies with the visitor, protagonist guy.  Throughout the movie, you end up rooting for him and for the liberation of this "woman" who the audience ends up actually liking and feeling sympathy for.  Sure, she wasn't human, but maybe she had elements of humanity.  You root against the brutal, heavy handed, eccentric builder of the robot who treats "her" cruelly.

    And then at the end, you step back and remember "wait a second, she's not a human at all!  she's a dang robot who was programmed to have one goal, and to achieve it by any means."  It left me feeling silly for rooting for the insanity of killing a human being to save a computer -- a computer that is incapable of feeling any kind of emotion, but is very good a feigning it. 

    I thought it was a clever movie the way it manipulated its audience to participate in the insanity, and left it feeling as hoodwinked as the visitor guy.

    The book, at least, was not particularly kind to many of the inexperienced people involved in the tragedy. Not sure about the movie. There is definitely something unappealingly selfish about people who gladly spend so much money and time away from family, or bypassing family altogether, for the trophy of standing at the top of the world, but it also looks like one hell of an adventure.

    I gather, its a mis-adaptation from the book, but the unreliable narrative portion of the movie felt really dishonest to me.  Its one thing to have mis-direction.  Its another to have actual scenes showing something, then to later in the movie say "Naaaaa, that crap didn't happen"   On top of that I thought the writing and really even the acting for that matter was terrible.

    Gone Girl was  :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs:/2

    I gather, its a mis-adaptation from the book, but the unreliable narrative portion of the movie felt really dishonest to me.  Its one thing to have mis-direction.  Its another to have actual scenes showing something, then to later in the movie say "Naaaaa, that crap didn't happen"   On top of that I thought the writing and really even the acting for that matter was terrible.

    Gone Girl was  :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs:/2

    What did they show that didn't really happen?

    FreundinSonntag informed me that the scenes in the book were clearly marked as being read from a journal, but in the movie there are flashbacks of Ben's character getting violent toward his wife that never actually happened, it's explained later.  Or at least that's my recollection.

    I thought it was obvious that they were flashes of what the investigator thought had happened while she was reading the journal....but I have read the book, so I really don't know how it came across to someone who hadn't read the book.

    The Martian was really good.

    i haven't seen it yet but it looks an awful lot like Gravity w/ sandra bullock.

    NO SPOILERS.

    No spoiler comparison between Martian and Gravity: I enjoyed Martian more, but Gravity was way more intense. Gravity was 2 hours of claustrophobia and vertigo (expecially in 3D) - Martian takes place on Earth and Mars and has a lot more legroom. The Martian cast is better (and more). Martian is funnier. Martian's science is more accurate overall.

    I really liked Gravity, too, but they probably should have named it something else if they intended to completely ignore Newton's Laws in a number of key moments.

    None taken. I enjoyed it, but it is just as much an entry into historical fiction as it is horror which is not everyone's cup of tea. I'd recommend if you don't pay the theater ticket price to try and catch it on Netflix if only for the superb camera work/directing and the great acting by Hiddleston, Chastain, Hunnam, and Wasikowska.

    It's not only the worst boxing movie I've ever seen, but it's in the conversation for worst overall movie I've ever seen.

    It's so sentimental and stupid that it comes across as a parody of real Rocky movies.  Cloying, grating, shallow, boring, predictable, cliched.  All things panned by movie critics across America for every other movie, but apparently celebrated for this film given its inexplicable 76% rating on rottentomatoes.

    Also watched Bone Tomahawk and it was really, really great.  Would recommend to just about anyone, though it is gory at times (and at one point, it is VERY gory -- could've done without that).

    update: phantom menace and attack of the clones are really really bad. revenge of the sith is pretty good

    i'd have to go back and rewatch (actually i'm going to go back and rewatch in the next few weeks) but i remember revenge being better than one of the original three in my marathon 1.0 rankings

    rewatching them all was enjoyable despite 1 & 2 sucking truck nutz

    short term 12- very good/great
    Yes.  Very, very good.  One of the most enjoyable movies i've wached in the last couple years.

    If you liked Short Term 12, I can't recommend Spectacular Now enough.  Those movies are cut from the same cloth.

    so it had been a couple of years since i'd seen spectacular now and thought about watching it again. yes it has miles teller and shailene woodley, but here's the rub- did you know that it also had brie larson and kaitlyn dever from short term 12? i mean, wow!

    hm...i can't really say i enjoyed that.  i found a few of the little episodes interesting, enlightening even -- specifically the bit about him lying on his deathbed surrounded by people he didn't recognize and thinking about how silly his preoccupation with his dying moment was.

    also did a pretty good job of driving home how confusing memory loss must be.

    yeah I'm not saying I liked it, but it is was one of the more bizarre/interesting things I've seen in a while and more than anything I just wanted someone else to give me their thoughts. like, after I watched it I was like what in the world did I just watch? did I like that or hate it? like you said, there were some interesting moments and one that actually made me laugh out loud.

    Definitely a weird style, varying between real and animated parts.  Were the non-animated parts supposed to be when he was thinking/seeing clearly?  I don't know.

    Unreliable narrators generally bother me too.  Was his mom really a monster?  Was he really mentally ill (outside of whatever dimentia (?) he had)?  I don't know.  I don't know if the film was supposed to have an overarching message or if it was supposed to be just 30 sort of connected episodes.

    the m'bating for 7 hours part. it just kind of came out of nowhere. maybe not a real laugh but I certainly made some kind of audible noise. also I think it was kind of a glimpse into the mind of a crazy guy on his death bed and all of his memories kind of racing through his mind, although I'm not entirely sure.  it's apparently the third of a trilogy and critics (time, village voice) all loved it. dunno. maybe I need to see the other two. it was definitely different and I think you're probably onto something in terms of animation vs real life and imagined vs real.

    Probably more like two weeks, but it depends on if you are going to a theater with reserved seating or not. That and if you are willing to buy tickets a week or two in advance.

    In the Heart of the Sea - Ended up being a lot more of a shipwreck movie and not as much of a whale movie.. . .still was a solid go. If you go to movies often it is worth seeing, if you go rarely, save this one for a rental. - 6.5/10

    The Night Before - Actually pretty funny. There was one scene that I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Rogen plays the same type of role, but he is placed as the person with responsibilities so it comes across as a lot less annoying. Not family friendly (obviously) but I would recommend it if you have liked any of Rogen's flicks in the past. - 8/10

    Wish I Was Here

    More like Wish I Hadn't Watched This.  I wanted to like it but it was just not good.  The best part of the movie was when Dr. Turk made a cameo appearance.  Private Dancer had a small part too so I suspect when Zach Braff realized his movie was going to be a dud he gave little parts to his bros from Scrubs so they could hang out on the set for a little while.

    Depends on your mood. If you are going to watch 2 I'd watch it first and end with the Martian. I tend to like ending my movie watching marathons with a funny one to leave me in good spirits. I'd go all out if I was you and watch 2, then 3, then 1.

    The new "Point Break" wow what a pile of crap 2/7. The only reason it gets a 2 is that it is so comically bad it is somewhat entertaining. The plot is bad. The dialog is cheesy and bad. The #acting is bad. The CGI is bad. Hell, even the tattoos are bad.

    I should have got up and left after the big "hey I'm a cop" reveal which subsequently lead to a chase that ended with Johnny Utah laying on the ground firing his gun in the air screaming as Bodie escapes but I wanted to see just how bad it could really get. It did not disappoint. This little train of shittyness kept rolling down the tracks.

    There is a reason the studio released this up against Star Wars. It is a giant turd and they were trying to bury it like a cat does it's crap. So so bad.

    I watched Black Mass last night.  I thought it was fine.  Though I thought for how long the movie was, there really wasn't much story.  Oh well, enjoyable to watch.

    Also watched Bone Tomahawk and it was really, really great.  Would recommend to just about anyone, though it is gory at times (and at one point, it is VERY gory -- could've done without that).

    Watched Bone Tomahawk last week and this is spot on.  I wish I hadn't watch that one part, good grief.  They should cut that visual and just point the camera at Kurt for a reaction shot and just use sounds to let the audience decipher what happened.   :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Props to Scar Jo for being 17 when it was shot, everything else about it is gross and stupid. People mock Sofia Coppola for her role in Godfather III when she really should be mocked for this affront to good taste.

    Sliver Linings Playbook on the other hand was amazing. I rarely watch a movie rooting for the happy ending but I absolutely did here, I loved everything about it.

    Saw Joy last night. Jennifer Lawrence is great but the movie is just so so. The ending is super lame IMO. Also, not enough Cooper/Lawrence on screen together. It was well acted by all but  just not that great of a movie.

    Just watched The Hundred Foot Journey on TV this morning.  It was formulaic, predictable, overly sentimental, and I loved every single second of it.  I love when movies keep it simple and don't try to be something they're not.  It did not challenge me, it did not make me question any preconceived notions, and the only thing it left me thinking after it was over was "I feel really good right now."  You better believe I'll be making this Hundred Foot Journey many more times in the future.

    Agree with The Martian being pretty good movie, but IMO this is one of those cases where there isn't really a good way to capture the full book on film.  I mean most of the book is Damon's character talking to himself, and it's his thought process working through the details of each problem/solution combined with his sense of humor that make the book great.  Movie did a decent job portraying his humor, but no way to get the rest without making it super long.  Maybe could do it as a tv series.

    The Martian would have been so much better if Matt Damon would have realized that he was just a clone and NASA had no intentions of getting him back to Earth.

    because kurt was a known drug user and "suicidal" per the media (who got their info from coutney). I mean why even bother investigating that? you know druggies kill themselves like all the time. just call it a suicide and move on. less paperwork, etc.

    Is it just me, or did it seem like they way over used the giant praying mantis?

    Were any of the characters/scenes from goosebumps that you read?  :ohno:

    I'll be honest, I didn't read those books as a kid.  I read Stephen King when I was in late grade school and early junior high.  My folks were not huge readers, so they had no idea that I was rough ridin' myself up.  Good times.

    The Martian is overrated. All characters are flat, it never feels like Damon is going to give up, and every challenge seems to be immediately solved. Not a bad movie but best picture my ass

    Saw Spotlight today. Good movie, but the story and subject matter were better and more powerful than the actual film if that makes sense.

    None of the movies nominated for awards can compete with Room IMO. I'm still devestated by that one.

    And the parrot? sheesh. its like less funny than the genie. And how freaking stupid is the sultan? DUR HUR DUR JAFAR YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE CLEARLY AN EVIL SORCERER! Jasmine is whiney too.

    Listen I didn't want this. At 715 this morning I walk by the TV and see Aladdin on and was thinking "hey I like Aladdin, I'll watch for 20 minutes before I have to leave."

    I mean, I guess if you love pop culture references to Joan Rivers and Johnny Carson, bland completely straight forward characters, in the context of a middle eastern backdrop from 1000 years ago with some shnazzy jazzy dancing song and dance routines then Aladdin is pretty good.

    BTTF 3 was not super great.  1 and 2 are wonderful.

    Toy Story Trilogy is the best ever.  Scientifically speaking.

    And Aladdin is very good.  You can't compare it to Up, Big Hero 6, Toy Story, etc.  They are completely different types of movies. Lumping all animated movies into the same category is a bit like lumping all non-animated movies into the same category.  It's too broad.  Aladdin is very good.

    Aladdin was/is funny. To rank it below a crap movie like Bambi that has no humor is absurd.

    It has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes so you are among a very small portion of the population that shares that wrong opinion.

    mcdonald's is selling mozzerella sticks and people are buying them. millions of people watch big bang theory. hootie and the blowfish sold like 20 million albums. sometimes the consensus is wrong

    How dare you.

    Yeah, I read through CF3's entire rant and was pretty much like "whatever", then he had to go attack Hootie, one of my favorites in college.

    Very unnecessary.

    Also, the Martian was good, entertaining. I think Revenant is more "best picture" worthy though when comparing the two.

    Look, "crazy old coot" is a Western Movie staple, and Richard Jenkins played that role as well any I suppose.  I'll admit that.  However, I would have gone with "loose cannon" instead as a side kick.  That guy from Lost just sort of stood there the entire movie.  Boring!

    That's because it was edited for TV. In the movie he actually says "fuuuuuuuuuuuck, did I leave the stove on?" - which is hilarious. Deeadpool is well known for breaking the fourth wall and having split personas with different priorities. Which a lot of people were nervous about considering general audiences might not like it. I went with Mrs. Yard Dog and she absolutely loved it, even said she'd be willing to see it again it was so funny.

    Room is not a chick flick. The only chick flick aspect of it is that the main character is a chick. I found it to be a profoudly moving movie. The Revenant is pretty visually spectacular, and unless you have like a theater room in your house with a 100+ inch screen I could see it being boring at home. If you're only doing one in theaters of those 2, do The Revenant.

    World War Z - one of the worst zombie related movies I've ever seen and a huge insult to the book.  Somehow this piece of crap grossed over half a billion worldwide.


    The Hammer - (Adam Carolla version, not the the deaf college wrestler version)  Had low expectations and this movie exceeded it.  I IRL lol'd during the La Brea tar pit scene and am pretty sure he ad libbed those lines.  Underrated comedy flick.

    The thing with Bridge of Spies was every character fell really neatly into their place, and the drama didn't entice me that much. I was never really worried.

    Anyone who took 7th grade social studies knows how Bridge of Spies ends. Just because you know the ending doesn't make a movie void of drama.

    Agreed - maybe its just me but there was never much tension.  Same way I felt after Martian.  Neither are bad movies but both seemed like they followed a template.

    I'll allow that the first half set up the great scene, but man, what a rough way to get there, and then you're left with another hour of turd city before it mercifully ends.

    That's a great idea and you will know. I'd give it maybe three to five minutes after the scene before cutting it off. Once you start to think it's getting boring again, trust your instincts.

    Nothing different from what happened, but I just wanted it done mediocre to well.

    I was trying to avoid spoilers but screw it - They had 4 rough ridin' movies to foreshadow but instead you have Donald Sutherland go "Julianne Moore is evil too" and then she holds a meeting and goes "How 'bout some Hunger Games?"  Everything was just blatantly shown to you in the most obvious way.  Maybe the book is the same way as it was meant for 12 year old girls or maybe PSH's death caused scenes to be lost, but that was awful. 

    Also, they added in some goblin-esque fantasy creatures that were very WTF and not a part of the world until then.  If there were trolls and dragons and wizards or something in the first few then fine, but all of a sudden this is a world where these things exist?

    Those goblin-esque creatures were mutations (mutts) similar to all those different mutt creatures that were created as part of the gamescape in the Hunger Games  - i.e. those big dog things that had the eyes of dead tributes, the tracker-jackers (wasps), the mockingjays (birds that echo the sound you make). It was better explained in the book that the capital was using the technology it had developed in the Hunger Games on the city battlefield.

After watching, I can absolutely see the exact same thing playing out if it had been Snyder in Joe Pa's shoes. I'll just assume Snyder would have done more than "tell his boss" if someone saw Dimel or some longtime assistant playing check the oil with some teen in his private shower or something.

    Batman v Superman: dawn of justice
    Decent enough film, plenty of explosions, tried to borrow a good deal from Frank Miller's Batman: the dark Knight returns but missed the mark more oft than not.  The motive for Batman and Superman fighting is paper thin and [spoiler alert] it gets tossed aside just as easy. Ben does a decent job and approaches compelling at times but his whole character feels very pretentious and you cant relate to him. Superman is the regular snoozer of being interesting that Hollywood has been pitching and there's a very forced feel to the film of setting up some avengers a la justice league sequel that they'll inevitably be announcing.

    Saw Everybody Wants Some this weekend. Richard Linklater's spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused. If you liked D&C you will really enjoy this movie. Much like a lot of Linklater's work it doesn't have a defined plot, but the characters are solid.

    Also watched Man Up on Netflix with Mrs. Yard Dog. It is a good romantic comedy if you are into that sort of thing. Leaves you happy and isn't too sappy to enjoy.

    watched Carousel the other night.  really, a couple of great numbers in this.  If I Loved You, June Is Busting Out All Over (or maybe it's called "Just Because it's June" -- I don't know) and You'll Never Walk Alone, are all pretty great.  The June one is one of my favorite dance scenes in any musical. 

    All that said, this movie did NOT age well. 

    SPOILERS: the protagonist is completely devoid of any redeeming qualities.  He hits his wife.  He loses his job and refuses to even look for more work.  He's manipulative.  He's insulting.  He participates in a hold up involving a knife, which leads to his death, leaving his pregnant wife behind.  Later on, after returning to earth and striking his daughter, the wife and daughter both agree that "sometimes, when a man hits you, even if he hits you hard, it doesn't hurt, and actually feels like a kiss."  When I heard that line, my mouth hit the floor.  Mind you, this is the PROTAGONIST.  R&H were apparently trying to portray him in a net positive light.

    If you're interested, just watch the June song on youtube.  Check out "If I Loved You," and "You'll Never Walk Alone" on spotify.

    I thought it was pretty weak. Most of the nuance of character was ignored for more CGI action scenes. Its a movie marketed to 5 year olds that is really meant for like junior high boys. I regret taking my kids but that's on me.  And how many times do I need to see a slow motion shot of the beginning of a fight where both fighers are jumping in the air at each other fists cocked like a transformers movie?

    Actually, given the amount of time and the sheer number of characters they try and introduce, I thought they actually did a pretty alright job with character nuance.  Especially for a "kids movie."

    In particular, I thought they did well with Sherkon (sp?  the tiger) -- how they went into his backstory and showed why he had a disdain for humans, that was actually pretty reasonable.  Would've been very easy just to paint him as "he's the bad guy who is evil."

    captain america civil war is underwhelming.

    I thought so too.  I chalked it up to getting tired of the superhero movie.  There isn't really any new ground for them to cover for me.

    I think part of their success is the character development they did in their first movies/origin stories.  Now they are just chucking characters in there 3 or 4 at a time.

    Redbox'd Hunger Games:  Mockingjay: Part II over the weekend.  It was pretty good.  Probably the best one since the first one.  I just never really liked Peter's character.  It's like one minute he's trying to kill her and then they play that "real or not real" game and they are BFF's again.  Would much rather have had her end of with Gale than Peter.

    Creed was ok.  Hated the scene where he was running with the motorcycles and 4-wheelers.  Actually cringed and had to look away when he was jumping around and screaming at the end of that scene and Rocky was waving in the window.  Other than that I enjoyed it though.

    The new X-Men movie was pretty good. A few slow pays but overall good action and story.

    Now there is an uproar over a poster of Mystique getting choked.
    http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/03/rose-mcgowan-x-men-apocalypse-choking-poster

    Pretty misogynistic to say that it is not ok to show a woman getting choked - as if her position as a strong mutant / superhero is outweighed by the fact that she has a vagina.

    Pro move would be to sit this one out and then comeback on the next one.

    I'm sure the aliens can make a bunch of clones from Will Smith's dead DNA so that they can each patrol a section of the Earth once the aliens take over.
    He's dead?! Welp!

    Was that a spoiler? Oops. I'm pretty sure that the trailers make it clear that the new hero is the son of dead war hero Will Smith.

Hiller’s valor in the War of ‘96 made him a beloved global icon whose selfless assault against the alien mothership lead directly to the enemy’s defeat. He is survived by his wife Jasmine and son Dylan.

    I would like to see Tarzan. Supposedly Alexander Skarsgard ate basically only chicken breasts and broccoli for 9 months.

    I'd like to see if the storyline is consistent with that diet. Like if he is in the jungle for 9 months and then starts looking all buff from the jungle diet and exercise, then that is ok. But if he shows up day one and rips off his shirt and looks like that then #unrealisticbodyimage. (I mean I guess someone who grew up in the jungle and then moves to London might have a lower starting body fat percentage than someone who is an Swedish celebrity living in America, but still there are limits. He has been living as an aristocrat in London.)

    it was ok, i guess?  the ending was like the director decided, "ok we need to wrap this one up guys".  i expected a bigger deal.  i don't know, not all that suspenseful when the suspense draws from whether or not they're going to get caught stealing ac units and water pumps.   seemed to touch on a lot of things but not go all that in depth in any particular direction.

    If you mean "look horrible" because it might convince you to leave your parents basement when there was still day light. . . then perhaps you are right. It opened with $135.1 million. I wonder if how much it could have made if the marketing hadn't made it look so horrible.  :jerk:

    It is currently Disney's thing to remake all of their properties in full live action. So far they have all been pretty successful. While technically the first Pete's Dragon was mostly live action, this one seems to be upping the ante. That being said, the reviews are glowing so far.

    Saw Sausage Party.

    It is pretty fun and incredibly vulgar. It also doesn't try to be politically correct at all, which isn't a surprise.

    Sad thing for me is that the theme / entire movie's key message was anti-religion / made fun of people for having religious beliefs.

    As a Christian, that bothered me enough to hurt my enjoyment. If that doesn't bother you, and you don't mind offensive non politically correct humor, you will really enjoy this movie.

    Primal Fear (1996)

    this is what the 90s are all about guys. lots and lots of CHICAGO COPS and swarms and swarms of reporters around lawyers in oversized trench coats walking into buildings. lots and lots of unnecessary shots of news helicopters to let you know this case is a big deal, and also to let you know that as soon as the case is over the movie is probably going to be over too. other hilarious things: fast forwarding video tape with high pitched scribbling noise! smoking in your office! musical score featuring fast paced gated reverb drum fills! lots of "for chrissakes!" which i forgot about but is definitely a 90s thing! richard gere's knowing smile after being turned down by a smart lawyer lady!

    overall pretty good and edward norton smashes his first ever movie role out of the park.

    This week I plan to go see SHIN GODZILLA in a Japanese theater in Japanese with no subtitles. I think that sounds like a fun thing to do.

    Some American Movies in J-theaters are dubbed into Japanese with no subtitles and some movies are shown in English with Japanese subtitles.

    I definitely enjoyed it. I don't know if it is a must-see in-theater, but good none-the-less. Predictable plot. All I could think while watching is that they got Chris Pine to play Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens as Toby Howard. Jeff Bridges is really good at that old man Texas garbled accent.

    I recently watched a motion picture by the name of Marvels Captain America: Civil War.  The action was pretty good but I didn't understand a second of it.  No idea why they were fighting and it seems the entire premise is a response to something that happened in a different movie that I may or may not have seen.  The Incredible Hulk and Thor were not in this movie which was disappointing.  How was that Bucky guy a childhood friend of Captain America?  I thought Captain America was frozen since WWII, so wouldn't all his childhood friends be dead?  So confusing.

    Saw Rogue One. Loved how they perfectly recreated so many characters from a nearly 40yo movie. That was the most enjoyable thing about it. Story itself is kinda jumpy and at times even boring. Robo sidekick was good but most of the main characters were very flat. Great villains tho.

    Overall I liked it. I liked that it fit with the older movies so well.

    The only thing that really confused me was no Bothins? WTH? That's like the ONE thing we learned about stealing the plans from the original trilogy and they're nowhere to be found. Or was that the second Death Star?

    Dark but good movie:  I Smile Back.  Sarah Silverman leads as a suburban housewife that is bi-polar, self-medicates with coke, meth, weed.  And she's also a nymphomaniac.  Very intense movie.  Never knew Sarah Silverman was smoking hot, but she is in the movie.  Definitely not uplifting.

    I overheard someone say that the Alt-right people think the Movie plot to portray the Empire as being like older white males in the U.S., and they are painted as bad guys keeping women and minorities down.  Might be true, not certain tho.   

    But, a great film!  Really fun movie.

    Some people were upset the director or writer or someone tweeted that the empire is are white supremacists. I don't even think the movies portray the Empire like that, other than that they have a lot of old white guys.

    went to see rogue one at the alamo drafthouse today, left about 10 minutes into the film

    the movie seemed like it was going to be pretty good.  but between the place having become a shithole, the pigs behind me ordering everything on the menu 2x and me getting to smell their greasy, salt-laden foodstuffs, the dude sitting next to me having bathed in some stank cologne, and the thermostat kept at 97 degrees, i decided i'd try to catch it somewhere else. 

    when i've been there before, the usually drop the lights when the movie starts.  not today, they needed jaba the hut behind me to be able to see each one of his 4th order of potato skins as he shoveled them into his mouth.

    I literally almost got into a IRL fight one time there. We were watching sausage party (awful) and mrs wacky whispered to me about something. Anyways, this fat ass couple sitting next to us shushed us so rough ridin' hard, people like leaned back to see wtf was going on. It really was unwarranted, because we were being super quiet and they were 10X louder eating their trough of food. I then walked by them when the movie was over and shared some unkind words and called the dude a vagina. He then acted like he was getting up to do the thing and then his wife held him back and said "he's not worth it".  :lol:

    Glad to hear it's good. I'd see it even if it wasn't. Hell, I saw Episode 1 like six times in the theatre and Episode 2 at least three or four.

    Saw Rogue One tonight and it was the first time trying out the brand spanking new MHK IMAX.  Seats were very comfy, and we sat a little too close for my taste but it was still great.  Can they make any shittier 3D glasses?  I mean my god I had a glasses side nose crease for over an hour afterwards.

    The movie was awesome, and I was very impressed.  I had heard good things about it and wasn't disappointed.  The Vader scene was great and I was amazed at how well it just blends right into Episode IV.

    It was v emotionally investing compared to all other sw movies imo

    I felt the same way, hadn't really had that with the others but this one going in I knew everyone was mumped so I enjoyed the time they had.

    idris elba is the gunslinger

    From what I've read, they plan to depart significantly from the books in how they tell the story. Like the first movie may be a mishmash of things from lots of the books. I guess they were worried a movie just based on Gunslinger wouldn't get the series off the launch pad. That might be a good thing - or a total disaster. I'd sure feel more confident if they had planned to start by faithfully adapting the first few books and then maybe branching off from there.

    McConaughey seems like a very promising choice. I had always envisioned Roland as Clint Eastwood, because that's how he is described in the books and illustrations, but there's no reason Roland can't be played by a black dude, per se. Idris Elba is certainly a great actor, and maybe this means they'll be dropping the whole Roland/Deta racism thing from the movies, which was actually pretty tedious reading.

    I don't think they've cast Eddie or Sussana yet but Jake will be in this movie?
    Title: Re: Recent motion picture viewing - Add your own!
    Post by: CNS on January 11, 2017, 11:28:38 AM
    Jake has to be in the movie unless the departure is in a very major way.

    Also, I could see the need to merge the first two books.  The second was slow AF and 80% was just into/backstory of characters.  That said, the first book was fantastic and I would be sad if they f'ed up the first movie by making too much of it about the second book. 

    Man, given what has happened in past king movies, I feel like I have high probability of being disappointed here.  Ron Howard better deliver!

    Apparently Matthew Mcconaughey turned down the villain role in the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie to play the man in black in the Dark Tower.

    Jake has to be in the movie unless the departure is in a very major way.

    Also, I could see the need to merge the first two books.  The second was slow AF and 80% was just into/backstory of characters.  That said, the first book was fantastic and I would be sad if they f'ed up the first movie by making too much of it about the second book. 

    Man, given what has happened in past king movies, I feel like I have high probability of being disappointed here.  Ron Howard better deliver!

    Here's the way the movie is being described...

    Quote
    The Dark Tower film will not be primarily based on the 1982 novel The Gunslinger as initially expected. “[The movie] starts in media res, in the middle of the story instead of at the beginning, which may upset some of the fans a little bit, but they’ll get behind it, because it is the story,” King told Entertainment Weekly in March.

    It remains unclear which books the movie will focus on, but director and co-writer Nikolaj Arcel did tell EW that “a lot of it takes place in our day, in the modern world.”

    Though the film may not be an exact replica of the original series, King says that fans can expect Sony’s version of The Dark Tower to maintain the classic opening line: “The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.”

    “It should start that way,” the author, who tweeted the famous line back in March, told EW. “I’ve been pretty insistent about that.”

    Update 7/15/16: Arcel has confirmed that the upcoming movie isn’t a straightforward adaptation, but actually a follow-up to the book. “The hardcore fans of The Dark Tower series will know that this is actually a sequel to the books in a way,” he said, per EW. “It has a lot of the same elements, a lot of the same characters, but it is a different journey.”

    Could be good - could be a monorail wreck. I agree that most King adaptations without Frank Darabont involved have been garbage, but it seems like this one is too important to everyone involved to eff up.

    Speaking of which, did you know that Gage is the name of the boy in Pet Cemetary? And there is an actual pet cemetery sign visible off I-70 near Lawrence? The same stretch of I-70 that Roland's crew is walking down in Book 4? And I-70 is most likely the highway King would have driven to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO? Could just all be coincidence, but fun connections.

    let's get this back on track with other stuff i have watched lately:

    The Family Fang (2015) -  :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: and a half / 7; i'm not sure how to rate this one but i'm pretty sure it's 3.5 somethings out of 7

    Repo Man (1984) - 0/7; what a horrible piece of garbage that i regret clicking on

    Along Came a Spider (2001) -  :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: / 7; pretty enjoyable WHAT'S GOING ON HERE type movie. i was going to give it 4 but then i spent about 1 minute thinking about the plot afterwards, and there are a lot (A LOT) of holes in it

    Scent of a Woman (1992) -  :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: / 7; it's really rough ridin' weird and stupid but also has some amazing lines and made me smile a bunch, and also it took me about 75% of the way before i was like WHOA THAT'S ROBIN!

    i watched some terrible movie called "heist".  I watched it because it had deniro and jeffery dean morgan.  well deniro mailed it in like 25 years ago and sucked, but jdm was pretty good.  it also featured bautista from wwf and he is a horrible actor and also i think probably the woman cop was a wrestler too and she was a rough ridin' horrible actor.  the whole story was so bad, but the woman cop was just like wtf are you doing.

Also saw it at the new movie theater in Manhattan which was amazing I would definitely recommend the new theatre as it is a 7/7 taco experience

    your name. 6/7 very original and japanesey. first you think its a standard bodyswitch eyeroll but then it really isnt at all. this is like the top grossing japanese movie ever and still going buckwild here in azia.

    jack reacher 2 0/7 boring and stupid and cheezy and dumb and astoundingly poorly acted. also tom cruise's face is puffy. this should have been straight to VHS and you should have given that vhs to your scottish fold to rip all the tape out of and drag it all over your house. the only good part was thanks to ANA censorship where they changed that girl from that awful show saying bitchslap to butchslap.

    samurai hustle 2/7? i dont think i have the cultural literacy to find much humor in this japanese comedy. lots of famous samurai actors and some weird crap and some boring crap. probably dont watch.

    ANA edits all their movies to PG levels. pretty lol. I've been spoiled watching unedited AA movies loaded with bush and gore.

    also every japanese woman whose screen i could see watched Bridget Jones' Baby

    John Wick 2 was a lot of fun. It's going to be hard for John Wick 3 to top it.

    Saw this last night. Pretty entertaining. 1st one was a bit better, but still good. I'm prob going to need some sort of therapy down the road after watching that much death, but it was fun. The opening scene was the best.

    The opener was great, but I thought the scene in the subway station was the best.

    i can't remember if i gave it a 6/7 or 7/7.  would probably go with 6/7 for general consumption and 7/7 for people closer to my movie tastes.

    Lego Batman is fun, but a little too long.
    I also saw lego batman, great idea, there were a lot of fun cameos.

    I fell asleep and missed about 20 min in the middle so it seemed just right with length

    Nit picking, all of it. It's a brilliant movie. And one you can laugh your ass off while watching with your six year-old.

    I'll give you a comparison: if you're a dumbass who enjoys movies like Ex Machina that make you feel smart by pretending to be way more profound than they actually are, you'll like Arrival. For me it was 4.5 out of 5 Mehs. I'm shocked this thing got a best pic nom.

    I enjoyed Ex Machina because it was different, weird, and entertaining.

    I enjoyed Arrival less, but still found it interesting.  I would say both are better than most of the recycled crap that Hollywood pushes out.

    nobody thinks EM is this insanely profound movie.

    that said, it is a clever little movie that causes the audience (or me, at least) to really identify with the protagonist and make the same mistake he did.  it was great, great storytelling.  if you watched that movie and walked away thinking "this is a movie for idiots," then maybe you're just not that into movies.

Dweeb wants to have sex with super hawt AI robot. Turns out (gasp), super hawt AI robot doesn't really care about having sex, but figures out it can use Dweeb's horniness to escape, because of its AI made by Tony Stark. That's the entire plot of Ex Machina. The dialogue wasn't memorable. The acting wasn't memorable (except the dance scene). /Spoilers.

    Granted, part of the problem was my expectations going in. If I had gone in cold I expect I would have concluded "eh, that was ok." But based on the glowing reviews I left the movie thinking "WTF is wrong with all these clowns?"

    I have never seen Ex Machine so I need another movie comparison to see if I'm a dumbass who will like Arrival.

    Or you could get off your ass and watch Ex Machina.

    Sigh, alright, another comparison.... Inception? Interstellar? Those movies were at least somewhat entertaining (if too long) so not a perfect comparison to the lifeless, dull mediocrity that is EM and Arrival, but you've got the same basic "dumb people think this movie is really profound when it really isn't" vibe to them.

    Yeah.  From my experience relying on the "critics" opinion usually leads to disappointment.

    Since you disliked Ex Machina so much, I am curious as to what other Sci-Fi movies you would consider to be good or great.

    I love sci-fi movies. There's the ones that are just fun to watch and re-watch based on good imagery, action, and story - stuff like Mad Max Fury Road, pretty much anything from James Cameron, Fifth Element, etc.

    But because I dissed Ex Machina, here are some of the more "thoughtful" sci-fi movies I really enjoyed.

    Gattaca
    Moon
    These Final Hours
    Children of Men
    The Road
    12 Monkeys
    2001
    Brazil

    I've fallen asleep the last 2 nights trying to watch Superman vs Batman.  The most interesting thing so far is that Metropolis and Gotham are apparently right across the bay from each other like Oakland and San Francisco?  Did anyone else know this?  Why is Batman even a thing?  I feel like superman could probably handle the whole bay area.  He would have punched the jokers head off in about 2 seconds.

     :thumbsup:
    Didn't watch Ex Machina because I thought it was smart, I watched it because it was unique and very watchable.  I'm old enough to remember when Blade Runner came out, and it was unique and very watchable--and also became a classic.  Don't know if Ex Machina will do the same, but it might.  Both of these movies were fails at the box office.

    It's a very well-done movie. Not sure why K-S-U-Wildcats thinks that it is too smart. It just poses the question 'if you knew your entire life from birth to death, would you change anything?'

    I didn't realize it was Shane Black until I started watching it.  Seems to be another Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but not quite as novel.

    I saw it last night and agree. The most interesting thing to me was how they were able to show the violence that each of the mutant powers could do without dumbing it down. I had previously had a hard time buying the whole "citizens fear mutants" shtick used in previous XMen movies. After seeing Logan I can completely understand a scared citizenry.

    The African Queen (1951) -  :zzz: .5 / 7 this movie did not age well. bogie is ok (but why did they make him canadian??) but hep is really bad

    High Crimes (2002) - :users: :users: :users: .5 / 7 exactly what you would think. early 2000's judd: brows and crying scenes. jim caviezel: aww shucks why is this happening to me? morgan freeman: why am i not in every scene? because i am very good at everything and should be in every scene. amanda peet: i'm crazy hot fyi. BONUS! adam scott: i can has military haircut!

    Every Secret Thing (2014) -   :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: / 7 i think i liked it, but it certainly could have been better. if you're into a story about two 11 year old girls kidnapping and sort of accidentally killing an infant, and then fast forward to what are their lives like now that they're 18 and out of prison, this may be for you. it's kind of a debbie downer, but there is some interesting psychological/racial/fat shaming material to digest as well.

Said she might have enjoyed it more if she hadn't been comparing the songs to the animated version. Also (this one's for you Lib7) said the gay stuff with LeFou was a bit over the top for a kids movie.

    Is 'Arrival' any good?  Thinking of redboxing it.  One person told me it was a one way ticket to snoozetown usa, but another person told me it was a one way ticket to pretty goodtown usa.  Someone can break the tie for me if they want.

    i can't remember if i gave it a 6/7 or 7/7.  would probably go with 6/7 for general consumption and 7/7 for people closer to my movie tastes.

    I'll give you a comparison: if you're a dumbass who enjoys movies like Ex Machina that make you feel smart by pretending to be way more profound than they actually are, you'll like Arrival. For me it was 4.5 out of 5 Mehs. I'm shocked this thing got a best pic nom.

    We were also aware of all the "hysteria" about LeFou being gay, but didn't get that vibe from the movie at all. The only person that might have been hinted at as gay was a gentleman who for a few seconds of the movie seemed to enjoy suddenly being in a dress. Everything else was overblown nonsense that I am sure came from angry people who hadn't seen the movie.

    Yes and he played it brilliantly. To be fair though, I felt the entire cast was strong. If I had to nitpick, Dan Stevens as the beast was probably the weakest casting and I think he did pretty well. The voice cast for the enchanted castle people were spot on.

    Passengers was an interesting idea. Guy is faced with a horrible decision in a horrible situation. Then the horrible bill comes due. Then.... they kinda just switched to a conventional Hollywood ending. Still enjoyable but felt like a missed opportunity.

    of course you did cause he was awesome, but his is still his majority typecast role. analyzing his filmography lends me to believe he has above average performance diversity.

    roles where he is not the denzel mass market demanded denzel:
    Glory
    Malcom X
    Philadelphia
    Crimson Tide
    The Siege
    Remember the Titans
    Training Day (intentional play flipping the denzel type on ur face)
    John Q
    Flight
    probably fences (haven't seen)

    I think his pure volume makes him appear less versatile than he really is

    Just wasted money on Logan. This is why I should ignore reviews and wait for Redbox. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really in any way enjoyable, either. Just stab, stab, stab, boring, boring, boring. Best part was the Deadpool tease.

    Why was Logan good? It's basically Logan and a little girl stabbing people in the head in different settings for two hours. I'm not saying it was bad - the main actors all gave good performances, the dialogue was fine, the characters were somewhat interesting - but the story was just dull. This is not something I'd have any interest in watching a second time. Utterly forgettable.

    Let me guess, you liked Zoolander 2 right?

    Logan was arguably one of the best comic/super hero movies (Marvel or DC) of the last 10 years...besides BB/TDK/TDKR of course.

    I thought Zoolander 2 had funny moments. Not nearly as good as Zoolander 1, but worth a laugh most of the time. I enjoy lots of genres and I don't knock movies just because they're a comic book movie or a gross out comedy or a chick flick - I want them to be good for what they are. Movies should be entertaining (whether thoughtful, funny, suspenseful, visually stunning, etc.). Logan wasn't any of those things. It was over two hours of Logan wheezing around, dropping f-bombs, and stabbing people in the head. Over and over and over again. That gets boring real quick.

    I could name at least a dozen comic book movies significantly better and it's not even my favorite genre. Deadpool, Guardians, the recent Batman trilogy, Captain America, Iron Man, hell even some of the earlier X-Men movies....

    I agree. When you dig into the reviews, it looks like a lot of them were putting gender politics outrage ahead of actually reviewing the movie. I was disappointed by how the movie went from a really interesting dilemma to basically papering it over with a more conventional popcorn flick ending, but some of these reviewers were clutching their pearls so tightly that nothing short of murder or castration or both was going to satisfy them.

    I didn't see Beauty and the Beast. And Passengers is not about "rape culture." What happened was perhaps just as morally repugnant, but also completely understandable in the situation.

    I was happy with the ending. There were a lot of directions they could have gone, and it was still somewhat of a surprise the way it wrapped up which is a plus in my book. Overall, the movie wasn't nearly as predictable as I was expecting.

    What I don't get about beauty and the beast is that he is supposed to be hideous and terrifying but he actually looks pretty chill and quite pet-able. A real curse should turn a [redacted] into a ridley scott alien monster. Try getting someone to love you then. The beast is actually more attractive than the human prince version.

    I was saying no spoilers from the movie Logan, because that little girl is a clone of him but idk if there were others.

    Technically to answer Mrs. Gooch's question there could be four 'wolverines' from my count.  Logan, his brother who's name I can't remember, Deadpools character in the first Wolverine movie, and the little girl.

    Yes I have seen all the Wolverine movies except Logan, which I need to see soon.

    I knew that little girl had the same powers but I didn't know she was a clone. Thanks a lot for the spoiler! I guess she is X-23 then.....

    Kong is so fun. Some of the best effects I've ever seen. And some great references to the '33 King Kong, Apocalypse Now, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Samuel L. Jackson says "hold on to your butts" so I'm going to consider that a reference to Jurassic Park.

    Beauty and the Beast: a visually stunning movie that will excite musical fans who are not militantly nostalgic about the original version. RT Score when watched: 73%. Spracadjusted score: ~push~

    Get Out: A smart, race-conscious, satirical thriller that will surprise you while unhinging the KSUW's of the world over its lofty RT score. RT Score when watched: 99%. Spracadjusted score: 85%.

    Law Law Land: A welcome diversion from the usual Hollywood tripe that musical fans will mildly enjoy if able to ignore the gagging sounds emanating from Hollywood buffs who, lacking appreciation of trivial matters such as production quality and audio/visual believability in modern film, line up at the gloryhole to fellate this well-intentioned-but-rather-poorly-executed homage to days of Hollywood gone by for good reason--mediocrity. That said, Emma Stone is a babe, and being different is at least some currency in Hollywoodland present. RT Score when watched: 95%. Spracadjusted score: 71%.

    Moana: A pleasing acid trip wrapped in a kid's movie and buoyed by the effervescent lyrical prose of Lin-Manuel that bachelors, parents, and kids alike  can enjoy. Instant classic, imho. RT Score when watched: 95%. Spracadjusted score: ~push~

    I felt the same way about the Avengers. Just could not get into that movie and have never watched it all the way through, but I think I've seen enough random parts to have seen the whole thing by now.

    But I really enjoyed GOTG. Even though it was totally bizarre the characters and actors kept it funny and fresh throughout.

    Enjoyed Rogue One on second viewing even better than the theater. Definitely a top shelf SW film. I still think the beginning was a bit jumpy, Forest Whitaker's character seemed out of place and should have been cut or developed more, and the main protagonist dude was probably miscast and has basically no chemistry with the lead actress, but overall a very enjoyable movie. Droid was great. Bad guys have easily the best screen time of any SW film. Probably the best battle sequence, too, on Scariff. Some parts were actually shot like a war movie instead of Lucas's non-stop over-the-top CGI.

    I'm watching the end of Silence right now.  Was looking forward to this movie, thought it sounded interested, dealt with some interesting subject matter.   Nope, its bad AF.  Super slow, actually a super religousy movie, might as well have been directed by Mel Gibson.

    I really don't get the Mel Gibson reference here.

    Fell asleep during Rogue 1.  But not because I didn't like it so relax sheesh.  It's just that in my old age the combo of 3+ beers, a recliner and a time after 11pm is too much to overcome.  I finished the last 30 minutes the next day and enjoyed it.  I was a little let down by the DVader hallway scene.  I think I had built it up in my head too much maybe.

    I really liked that scene, but I knew very little about Rogue One going in other than the basic plot.  I've basically already decided I'm watching whatever Star Wars movie comes out every December so why bother researching it or asking if it's any good?

    Tarzan was just a dude raised by apes. He doesn't have special powers other that mumped up hands from walking like an ape. I mean if you feel tree climbing is a special power i'll give you that but he doesn't have super human strength or Adamantium claws.

    the doc was good, but made no attempts to explain why on earth the ATF sent a platoon to Ruby Ridge, and then later a full battalion to Waco. i guess i will have to wiki these events.
    the doc put a lot of time and weight on these events as a reason for TMcV's actions, yet none of their interviewees from FBI/ATF made any explanation as to why they made the raids in the first place. some racist family has a bunch of guns so you send in snipers to take them out? wtf? aren't there approximately a few million of these in the USA? there is clearly something missing.

    This is all fair. I didn't mind the London stuff tho

    Trolls - The premise of the movie is just so stupid that it's difficult to overcome.  The best parts are obviously when JT sings.  Unfortunately his character refuses to sing for the first 3/4 of the movie.

    Agreed. Also mostly revolting characters. cloud guy was funny but that's about it.

    On the other hand, Sing was pretty good! Not great, but I went into it with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

    Now Indy 4, what an awful piece of trash. Did George Lucas have his fingerprints on that, like the SW prequels?

    Showed Selma in class last week.  It was good.  One thing I didn't like:  every chaotic scene with police or KKK dudes beating up/intimidating/killing black people was in super slow motion.  I think the most terrorizing thing about all of those incidents would have been the frenzied confusion.  The fact that they all happened within the blink of an eye.  I don't think the slow motion captured the essence of those incidents.  JMHO.   ;)

Harrison Ford almost always plays a character that I wish I could be in real life.  His characters are usually an average dude who is a rascal and does really fun stuff.

    Found this interesting.

    Quote
    As for the X rating, it wasn't synonymous with pornography until the 1970s. At first, it simply meant that no one under 17 would be admitted to the movie, but the MPAA never trademarked the X rating (unlike the other ratings) and it was hijacked by the pornography industry as a means to hype up their material, often adding several Xs to imply that their film was much more risque and obscene than others. In fact, several mainstream and well-regarded movies were given X ratings when first released before it became strongly associated with pornography, including A Clockwork Orange, The Evil Dead, and Midnight Cowboy. In 1990, this "pornography" association ultimately gave rise to the MPAA abandoning the X rating in favor of a new NC-17 rating for films where those under 17 were not to be admitted. Six years later, this was changed to anyone 17 and under, making 18 the new age requirement for these films.

    As for PG-13, it was Steven Spielberg who helped usher in that rating. When Jaws was released in 1977, it was rated PG, despite the violence being too much for young kids, but of course deemed not enough that it needed an R rating. In 1984, he directed Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and was the executive producer on Gremlins, and both received a PG rating. He felt the PG rating was too broad and suggested a PG-14 rating. The next year, the MPAA, taking Spielberg's suggestion, instituted the PG-13 rating and Red Dawn was the first film with that rating. And the rest, as they say, is history.

    Seems like Jaws is worthy of an R rating.

    Alien Covenant is one of the best of the franchise. Maybe right behind the first two. But damn is it grim. It's easy to forget, what with Aliens being more of a straight up sci-fi/action movie, that this is really a horror series at heart. Covenant is more in the vein. Way better than Prometheus (and I kinda liked Prometheus for what it was).

    Took the whole family to see GOTGv2. Great movie. Way exceeded my expectations for a sequel. So many LOL moments. The only small negative was the character development pieces and how they sometimes felt forced in at weird spots in the movie. You'd be smack dab in the middle of an action sequence and - wait, let's take a two minute break for yet another awkward monologue to develop these characters. Also coulda shaved about 10 minutes from Ego and improved the movie.

    My kids loved baby groot. I loved baby groot. And Drax and Rocket and Xandu.

    Baby Driver was a pretty fun flick. Cool soundtrack that was incorporated into the action in a unique way. In the gunplay scenes, the bang bangs & pops pops were synced with the percussion of whatever song was jamming.

    Hacksaw Ridge.

    Andrew Garfield's "Forrest Gump Joins the Army" accent was mildly annoying.  Also the scene where he swatted a grenade out of the air and then kicked away another grenade was borderline unintentional comedy.  The gore and violence levels were pretty  :sdeek: but it showed what they had to go though.

    Overall it was a good story that needed to be told.

    Life: Garbage. Gave up about halfway through. It's rare that a movie is so bad that I don't even care to invest one more hour to see how it ends. This is that movie.

    Kong Skull Island. I liked the first Kong remake. This one sucked ass. Even John C Reilly and John Goodman could not redeem. Did not bother finishing.

    I may go watch the new Luc Besson movie tonight. It's not getting very good reviews, but I like me some Luc Besson!

    Independence Day II is one of the worst movies of all time.  Everything was incredibly forced.  Especially the drama between Will Smith's son and Thor's brother.  It was almost like a parody of a blockbuster alien movie.

    I really liked Dunkirk. Only problem was I had difficulty understanding a lot of dialogue (accent + muffled) and I had difficulty telling a few of the characters apart. It was also a Christopher Nolan film so there's the whole twisted timeline thing he does in just about every movie. SPR was way more intense but this was good.

    no surprise....I don't know how you combine 7 books into 95 minutes - and on top of it introduce new storylines.

    Bigger question is how that decision was made. I don't understand the "hard to adapt" argument. The plot isn't that complicated if you give it the time and commitment it deserves. LOTR didn't try to mash the whole trilogy into one 90 minute movie and those movies were wildly successful.

    There was enough action and intrigue in The Gunslinger to make an excellent 90 minute movie. Then you put books 2 and 3 together into the next movie, do book 4 (young Roland's adventures) as a concurrent TV special, and finish with books 5-7 as the final movie. The books could have easily and excellently been adapted to this structure.

    Instead we get something that's so loosely adapted from the books that it is actually considered a sequel to the books. So you arrive at that perfect hell for adaptations of beloved novels - the fans hate it and the general audience is not impressed after watching a story that was put through the meat grinder in an effort to satisfy their tastes.

    I'll go see it anyway. My expectations are so low at this point that I may enjoy it.

    All right, Dark Tower hot takes:

    1. What in the holy eff?

    2. Who were they making this movie for? In a nutshell, they took concepts from Dark Tower and fashioned them into a completely different story. Why? Who on earth thought that was a good idea? Who in the holy eff (see point 1) read the opening line of The Gunslinger - "The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed" - and said "nah, we're not gonn do that story." That person or persons needs to be punched in the balls and face, simultaneously and repeatedly. So does Stephen King (a well known Hollywood whore) for allowing this to happen to his magnum opus.

    3. If you know nothing about Dark Tower, you might enjoy this movie for the beautifully stylized action sequences - but only if you can accept that the film bounces around worse than a kid who accidentally snorted coke instead of his ADD medicine. If you are a fan of Dark Tower, you'll probably hate the movie (see points 1 and 2). That doesn't leave many people who will enjoy it. By sheer coincidence, it's tracking at around 18% positive reviews!

    4. Much like a Star Wars prequel, all the actors are top notch, and completely wasted on this crap show. MM is a great Flagg. (MM's agent: "Hey Matt, I've got a gig for you, and you won't even have to change wardrobe between Lincoln shoots!" MM: "All ride all ride....."). Idris Elba is certainly not the Roland of the books, but he is a badass Gunslinger. Jake Chambers is good, too.

    5. As I mentioned, the movie is beautifully stylized. Production value is top notch. Gun action is thrilling. Mid World is gorgeous. It's like salt in the wound seeing how amazing this could have been if they had told the friggin story of the books!!

    6. Lots of fun little nods to other King movies. I noted 1408 and Shawshank Redemption. King himself does not make a cameo unless I missed it.

    7. We won't see another of these. This movie is going to tank any hope of a franchise. But hope springs eternal - if they can reboot Spider-Man 5 or 6 times, maybe they can give Dark Tower another go in a few years.

    If none of this makes any sense to you, read Books 1-3. If you like the fantasy genre you'll really enjoy them. Don't let this movie be all that you know about Dark Tower.

    Watched the Circle and Ghost in the Shell this last weekend:

    The Circle is hot garbage. I read the book and was stupefied by how poorly they adapted the source material. It is a muddled mess of a movie.

    Ghost in the Shell was amazing. I love sci-fi fantasy movies so I am probably a little biased, but this movie was solid from beginning to end. In this case I am not familiar with the source material. All of the criticism that I have seen is that the original was better? I don't know about that, but I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys dystopic badassery.

    Rented Free Fire and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword this weekend.

    Free Fire was a blast of a movie. Mrs. Yard Dog didn't love it because it was "Just people shooting each other" I highly recommend it as a fun little shoot em up. Not exactly a must see, but if you have the time you won't regret it.

    I loved the daylights out of the King Arther movie. It is an extremely enjoyable movie and if you like Guy Ritchie's directing style you'll find this to be a fun ride as well. It surprises me that this movie was a flop at the box office. Its RT critic score is 28% but the audience score is 72%. From what I can tell the critics didn't like the modern stylings on a classic tale. I highly recommend this one if you like action movies and sword fighting.

    Kicking and screaming

    I watched this movie a bunch in college and loved it. Have not seen it in twenty years but just watched. Hot damn what an enjoyable time. It's is everything (including a heavily featured Parker posey) that a 90s indie movie should be. What a treat. 7/7. So many good lines.

    Wind River is by the same director who did Sicario and Hell or High Water. . .and I am in love with his work. Wind River is no different. Beautifully shot and showing off Jeremy Renner's stellar acting chops.

    The Limehouse Golem was a very enjoyable movie. If you like old time England murder mysteries this one is superb. Mrs. YD and I called the ending before we got there, but it was definitely still enjoyably put together.

    My apologies, when Mrs. YD and I were trying to pick a movie to watch this weekend I clicked on his bio on Rotten Tomatoes and when it showed credits for both movies I assumed he was director, apparently he was the screenwriter for both movies.

    My apologies. Wind River is still a great movie that he wrote and directed. So if you like how those other two movies were written, good chance you'll like this one too.

    Watched American Made and Alien Covenant this weekend.

    American Made - Not sure about all the hype this is getting. Would recommend as a Redbox or a watch on Netflix. . .but not worth the movie theater price to watch. I never really felt connected to the story or the characters / didn't care about their fate.

    Alien Covenant - Can understand the hate this received, but I am a sucker for big budget sci-fi. For anyone that is interested in watching I think viewing this as a character development movie for David (Fassbender) makes the movie much more enjoyable.

    I thought Wonder Woman was an incredibly boring and generic comic book movie. I felt the same way about Avengers. Seems like WW is getting more praise than it's worth for political reasons, but critics mostly liked Avengers, too, so maybe I'm just outside the mainstream. I find comic movies like Deadpool and GOTG much more entertaining because they're funny and don't take themselves too seriously.

    I have yet to see WW but it is on my list.  Nolan's Batman pushed superhero movies to be a little darker and have more of a basis in reality.  Iron Man pushed for ones that don't take themselves terribly seriously.  Now most superhero movies are following one of those playbooks with the exceptions being Deadpool and GOTG.  I would like to see more risks in the movies but it's hard to be risky with billion dollar franchises.

    WW is getting praise because it is the first DC movie to actually do well. I get the "political" buzz, but I did not know it had a female director or care that it had a female lead and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Putting it in the same class as Avengers (the first one) is pretty high praise.

    The Witch, unintentionally an exploration of Calvinist theology.
    Additionally, a showcase of the real existence of evil.
    And when I say real, I don't mean it in a cowardly, sometimes people just do bad things, way.

    i watched The Witch last night, it was exceptional. i don't think i've seen anything quite like it. is it a horror movie? no. is it extremely unsettling? yes, the entire time. i read that the filmmaker said he was trying to make an honest depiction of what a 17th century Puritan's nightmares might look like. also some nods to Goya.
    7/7

    Babysitter horror movies of 2017 reviews:

    Babysitter (on Netflix)  :star: :star: :star: :star: :raccoon: :raccoon: :raccoon: - Didn't take itself seriously and was over the top with the horror.  Very enjoyable popcorn movie, bloody but not actually scary.

    Better Watch Out  :star: :star: :star: :raccoon: :raccoon: - Was a little more serious than Babysitter.  I am a fan of horror movies and particularly Christmas horror so I really enjoyed it.  A good movie for anyone but definitely worth seeing for fans of the genre.

    Rise of the Warrior Apes is an Animal Planet documentary about the largest community of chimpanzees ever discovered.

    It's the culmination of 23 years of observation and video recording. The cinematography is often breathtaking, while the stories are supremely interesting. It may be the best nature documentary I've ever watched.

    I believe it's only available on Animal Planet GO.

    Started off really slow but as the movie progressed I liked it more and more.  Had a lot of good moments and even though it has an extremely low rotten tomatoes and IMDb score, it’s a pretty good movie.

    Score (2016) - 6/7 if you are a film score nerd like me, it is like a 2 hour joy ride through film history. includes bits about all the heavyweights. also reaffirms my personal opinion that thomas newman is a hack.

    Spielberg (2017) - 6.5/7 if you are a human being like me, it is like a 2.5 hour joy ride through spielberg's life and film history. crazy background info about jaws, star wars, schindler, etc. Loses half a point because they completely F'ing glossed over Hook.

Also this might have been Robin Williams' final movie (voice of the dog) which made me sad. But he was really good as the dog.

    Valerian and the City of 1000 Planets. The first 40 minutes are delightfully bizarre. Feels just like a sequel to Fifth Element. Def set in the same universe. The rest of the movie, starting with arrival at Alpha, is a bit too talky and meandering, but still has some funny moments and great action sequences.

    Overall, it's not as good of a story or movie as Fifth Element, but the closest you'll get to a sequel. Hope Luc Besson keeps making movies like this.

    But before it starts, there is a 21-minute Frozen cartoon. I left to make sure I was in correct theater and another guy was doing the same thing.

    You're not alone on that one.


    Quote
    If you think the bad Frozen short is going to dampen your Coco experience, skip it. Slate calculated that your best bet is to arrive about 37 minutes after your designated showing time to avoid the movie trailers, the Olaf show and the minute-ish clip in which Coco co-directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina talk about how proud they are of the film.

    Highlander (1986) - 3/7, some cool cinematography and a fantastic soundtrack (by Queen) but otherwise laughably bad, but like not quite bad enough to be laughably good imo

    Finding Neverland (2004) - 4/7, pretty much saving mr banks but with peter pan instead of mary poppins, and not as good or emotionally wrenching. but kate winslet is still bitb.

    The Birth of a Nation (2016) - 6/7, almost scene for scene ripoff of Braveheart, which is a great movie, so it's no surprise this is also a great movie.

    Saw the new Star Wars, Last Jedi, this morning.  It was good, but not great.  If someone wasn't a huge fan of the series, they probably would not like it.  I had heard that it was being reviewed as "too long," and thought to myself "there is no such thing as too many space ships," but it really was a little too long.  And they forced too many jokes.

    Overall, I am glad they made it, and I was happy to watch it.

    Yeah it was fine. Also not a huge SW fan. Agree on the jokes thing, its like they asked Joss Whedon to write part of the script. Also, that ridiculous moment with Leia early in the movie...wtf was that. Honestly, your review is basically 100% what I was thinking.

    Relatively spoiler free review of Star Wars....

    The entire portion of the movie that involved purple-haired Laura Dern, which was way too much, was awful. If they had excised that portion of the movie (and that whole bizarre casino sidetrip, which just didn't feel like it belonged), it would have been far better. And shorter. This is the first Star Wars movie that I thought was too long and downright boring at times (I don't count the Lucas-trash prequels).

    Thankfully, the movie redeemed itself with an entertaining and even exciting third act. Really enjoyed that.

    One final note, I didn't mind the jokes. But I'm not a huge fan of how these new installments blatantly copy from the first trilogy. It's feels a little over-the-top.

    I think if you had taken a 45 minute bathroom break during the Laura Dern / casino nonsense, you might feel differently. I admit, it's hard to get that taste out of your mouth, but the third act was a good chaser.

    I didn't have a problem with Laura Dern herself. I thought the entire plotline involving Laura Dern sucked. I'm not going to get into spoilers but I think you all know what I'm talking about. It wasn't just the bizarrely out of place casino jaunt. If they had found a way to excise that stuff completely, it would have been a far better movie.

    TLJ was a bit long.  I felt there were too many cute jokes  (can you put a towel on).    A little disjointed.     I'd rank it $5 after the originals and TFA.   The prequels are dead to me though, so that doesn't say much.

    Critics are getting less and less reliable. Review aggregators like Rotten Tomatos are almost worthless because they include so many terrible critics. Just for example, if you samples the reviews of the latest Star Wars movie, you’ll find that a goodly chunk of them focus on praising how the various narratives and diverse cast fit social aims, and largely ignore the slow, scattered, plot-hole riddled story. Another example would be the recent Ghostbusters reboot. RT’s aggregate “User Reviews” may be totally skewed by trolling etc. but somehow seem to a hit closer to the mark for me.

    A better metric would be to find one or two critics you tend to agree with and just go with them. That would be an interesting website - one that pairs you with compatible critics based upon how closely you line up on a spread of movies.

    bright, really cool concept and production value and action, but embarrassingly shitty writing and plot.

    could have been great but was nonsense instead oh well

    Netflix just announced a sequel!!

    I didn’t care for DA.  It’s just such a strange story and James Franco is so grating to hear and watch. I know that’s the point but my god.

    The Shape of Water. Critics loved it. I did not. Started with a fun premise: let’s center the story around a 1950’s top secret government installation, but as told through the eyes of the cleaning staff who are given unfettered access to everything. And Michael Shannon is great, even if he’s playing the same “Fascist Christian Bigot” character he seems to play a lot and Hollywood just loves. But the rest of the story was just weird, and not weird in a fun, enjoyable way. I’d skip.

    Roller Blade is a different movie involving rollerblading cultists fighting a premie rat creature or something. 

    Roller Blade 7 is just referring to the number of people.  Only 3 sequels.

    Downsizing: Never good, but I suppose mildly interesting oddity for the first 30 minutes or so. Then just truly terrible. The story was crap and it never seemed to be able to decide if it was parody or earnest.

    Christopher Waltz was kinda funny, and I enjoyed the unintentional irony of him saying that all these people claim to be shrinking themselves because they care about the planet, but really they just can't hack it in the real world (an observation that is true of many environmentalists, but likely lost on everyone involved in making this movie).

    Again though, main takeaway is that this movie really sucked.

    Saw Black Panther.  It was just ok.  Not great, not terrible. Really good special effects though.  From my perspective, it was kinda sappy, but I get that it was not really made with me as a target audience in mind. 

    My favorite three super hero characters are Wolverine, Dead Pool, and Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy.  Black Panther wasn't like any of those.  The closest Marvel movie hero that I'd compare the Black Panther to is Captain America, and I didn't really like him much, except for the cool special effects.

    This movie didn't leave me in awe or unsatisfied is was pretty meh. If you guys don't like how jokes have gotten corny in Star Wars then maybe sit this one out. I enjoyed the end credit scene as it was a buildup towards Infinity War.

    For all of the outlets that think that this movie is very political for its all African American cast, it isn't. Wakanda is country that has been hidden for centuries and hasn't been tainted by the outside world. It is also still tribal in a sense. So it makes sense to have an all African American cast.

    The things I enjoyed about the movie were Micheal B. Jordan's character and the attention to detail. By attention to detail, I mean the references to the comic and the other heros in the marvel universe. Ultimately this movie was a stepping stone towards infinity War and you don't really need to see before infinty war but hey Disney could totally use your money. Also don't believe the people that say it is the best super hero movie ever, it's good but not the best. It's a top 10 marvel movie right now.

    I thought BP was great, one of the best marvel movies. A few script and plot flaws. otherwise pretty good to great (scale adjusted for genre)

    the jokes were great and Kansas gets a name drop

    6/7

    iirc when she landed on the beach, her legs were all wobbly due to having been in space for an extended amount of time. seems like a weird detail to include if the filmmakers were trying to hint that she was dead. will probably watch again, i really enjoyed that one.

    Interstellar was pretty emotional for me, in that same genre.

    Well yes, more literally there. She's in these murky waters almost like an amniotic fluid or a primordial soup. In which you see amphibians swimming. She crawls out of the water, not unlike early creatures in evolution. And then she goes on all fours. And after going on all fours she's a bit curved until she is completely erect. It was the evolution of life in one, quick shot.

    I’ve wanted to see Arrival since I saw previews for it.  I just finished it.  I was told I would need to watch it twice to figure it out.  Maybe my love of physics and the universe helped or I could see the future, but I get it.

    Man, what a great movie.  I wish I would have watched it sooner.  Everything about it I loved.  From the psychological aspect of looting because of impending world destruction.  To the governments of the world response, which was very realistic. 

    Everything I thought it would be, it was.  I can’t believe I waited this long to watch it.

WOW what a dark movie. i was uncomfortable throughout the the whole thing. funny at times, obviously, which is what it was going for. but the whole time i was just scared about what next shitty thing the next shitty person was going to do. the oscars that mcdormand and rockwell won were deserved.

    I don’t consider either of them a “Best Picture” but at least 3 Billboards was a good movie with great characters and actors. But I guess too many voters were offended by the fact that they didn’t make Sam Rockwell’s character a completely one-dimensional creep.

    Shape of Water was just weird and didn’t even merit a nomination. I wonder how common it is for a BP winner to fail to land a single Oscar for the lead or supporting acting roles? It is going to be remembered years hence as “that movie that won best picture about the woman who has sex with the fish monster.” Great job, Academy.

    But in fairness, they did nail the voting on all 4 actor categories. No question.

    Don't worry, that is explained in the movie. It will all make sense.

    BTW, the woman having sex with the fish monster is supposed to be taken both literally and as a metaphor for marginalized, victimized people finding kinship in their marginalization and victimization. That doesn't stop the movie from being a hot garbage soup but it's the sort of thing the Academy slurps up with an oversized spoon.

    Shape of Water is pretty decent. Not sure about best picture but it deserved all the other awards for the filming of it. That part was well done. It just is very different, but besides it being fantastical it did a great job of transporting you into 1962. I mean, you have to go in knowing it's Guillermo del Toro and maybe that will set your expectations a bit better.

    Oh I really need to see it now.

    Oh and also a graphic depiction of the lead actress masturbating in a bathtub to an egg timer - I think twice. You guys will love it.

    Not quite sure how I feel about Paddington's adoptive mother masturbating with a kitchen utensil.

    No no, she sets the egg timer and... never mind. You really just have to see this masterpiece.

    So, she's racing the timer?

    Weird take.  I mean, he did win the Oscar for that character.

    I thought Lady Bird was gonna be good and it was for the first half hour or so. But none of the main characters are likable and the story just meanders. People compare this to Juno, but it’s not nearly as good. Would skip.

    Jumanji wasn’t very good. Had a few LOL funny moments. But the cartoonish action sequences toward the end were just dumb and the movie went too long. The Young Adult “I totally relate to you” scenes peppered throughout felt forced and made the movie drag. Also getting tired of Dwayne Johnson being The Rock, even in a self deprecating way.

    Movies I have seen in both standard and IMAX include most of the marvel movies, jurassic world, jurassic park for the 20th anniversary release. Star Wars 7 and 8
    I think Ready Player One is gonna be really great in IMAX, but only because Spielberg said it was produced with it in mind.

    Fell asleep during 2 movies this weekend. 

    1st - Downsizing.  Finished it the next day, pretty boring.  There should have been more interaction between the small people and the big people.  Those were the only parts I liked.

    2nd - Pitch Perfect 3.  Did not finish it the next day.  My wife said it had a couple funny parts.  I remember half waking up to her laughing at one point.

    Netflix movies:

    Spotlight - Someone said this was good so I checked it out. I enjoyed it very much. Good cast. I was locked in throughout the whole movie.

    Midnight in Paris - Owen Wilson was the lead. Like Spotlight, it also featured Rachel McAdams. It was good not great. Something to watch if you have an hour and a half with nothing better to do.

    While I admit that I didn't get many of the 80's TV references made throughout the book, I understood all of the movie and video game references which is more my speed.  goEMAW if you the have the time, read the book before the movie, I highly recommend it.

    Finally watched STAR WARS:  THE LAST JEDI the other day.  Here are some thoughts:

    LOVED when Luke called a light sabre a "Laser sword".  I rewound it like 5 times because it was so funny.  Why did he call it that anyway?   :lol:

    I think some better communication would have saved a lot of lives.  Like why didn't that one leader that took over for Princess Leah just tell the stud pilot guy what her plan was?  He asked several times and she didn't say anything so naturally he assumed she didn't have one and took drastic measures.  Didn't make sense to me.

    Needed more Chewbaca.

    Didn't understand most of the whole Casino part.

    I really liked the scene where he killed snoke and then they fought those red guys.  Pretty badass.

    Overall grade:  Pretty good.

    The information was given on a need to know basis and he didn't need to know. Maybe he should not be so misogynistic and stop questioning his leader just because she is a woman.

    TBH IMO that pilot definitely has something wrong with him.  After the bombing raid where basically every single plane was destroyed and every person killed, he came back into the ship wanting to high five and was super happy about the whole thing.  I mean hundreds of his fellow soldiers were just killed, maybe temper your excitement a little sheesh.

    Moonrise Kingdom 3.5/7 - I didn't pay very close attention but it never really gave me a reason to

    Man on Wire 5/7 - decent little documentary about this guy who broke into the World Trade Center with his buddies in the 80's, setup a tight rope, and walked up and down it. Apparently he and his friends haven't talked since which they never went into detail about.

    Man Vs. 2.5/7 - The lead in this movie was the rich guy who's the first investor in the app from Silicon Valley. He plays a Bear Grylls survivalist type who's in the woods in Canada. However, he's not alone in the woods. This could have actually been a good movie but they screwed up the end so bad.

    Ready Player One  4.5/7    Figured it would never live up to my enjoyment of the book, and that was true, but better than I expected it to be.

    The Quiet Place 6/7.    Went in no expectations, very very good.

    Black Panther didn't do much for me.  TBH I didn't understand a lot of what was going on.  My wife summed it up best when she said that this feels like a sequel and we didn't see the first one.  I usually love origin stories the best but this one just seemed to leave so much out.  It also wasn't very funny, which I like in a super hero movie. 

    Also what the heck was that CIA guy doing running around the whole time?  Why was he even there?

    It was fine.  Middle of the pack Marvel ranking inmyho.

    Deadpool 2: A very enjoyable 2 hours of inane comedy. Maybe as fun as the first.

    Annihiliation: I watched this based on the rave reviews about what a "thoughtful" sci-fi movie it was, and only later found out it was directed by the same dude that did Ex Machina. What is it with critics and their slobbering love affair with this guy? Ex Machina was fine. So was Annihilation. But there is nothing deeply profound or thoughtful about these movies. Also, shacking up in a well-fortified guard tower while posting your one guard down on the ground was straight up idiotic. Hey dummies - that's the whole purpose of a guard tower.

    Incredibles 2: Uggg. I liked all the scenes with Mr. Incredible and Baby Jack Jack. The Raccoon scene was hilarious. I also liked the stuff with Violet. But this movie centers around Elastagirl, and the movie does not give her one. single. comedic bit the entire movie. Over half the movie was a snooze-fest. The villain also was incredibly boring. Could have been so much better.

    My "A Quiet Place" Review:   

    Likes - Jim/Blunt combo, very little gore/gory type stuff and a lot of jump scares (<--my favorite type of scare), unique premise, SHORT (the movie was less than 90 minutes which I LOVE, why do movies have to be so long?  Just get to the point, some of us need to get to bed), musical score (as many of you know I love musical scores and this musical score definitely goes into the "good" column on my musical score spreadsheet)

    Dislikes - **possible spoiler?** The ending (I know not everyone is like this but I like a nice neat ending ((preferably happy)) wrapped in a bow with no loose ends, so obviously this ending was not ideal for me personally)

    Overall I really enjoyed this movie.  I give it  :horrorsurprise: :horrorsurprise: :horrorsurprise: 1/2 out of 4 horror surprises. It was different, which is great, so many movies now are exactly the same to me.  And I really don't get not liking non-office Jim.  I LOVE non-office Jim.  What a stud.

    Enjoyed quite a bit but got a bit out there for me.  Will be interesting to see what Boots Riley does next as it was really good for a debut.  While most of the movie seems based in some reality, the satirical world seemed to be more a fantasyland, which lost me some.  Reminded me of Idiocracy in that regard.  Would love to get K-S-U's thoughts on this one.

I was bored and confused by all the double, triple, and quadruple cross puzzles in the first half (most of which involve the cop out of being able to wear somebody else's face) plus the tediously long expositions to "explain" them. The second half settles into a standard action movie where you know who the good guys and bad guys are. The action scenes were fun but I wouldn't waste money to watch this in a theater. Rent it.

    Movies that are fun to watch. Almost all genres (not a big horror or rom-com fan). A few examples for no particular reason....

    Mad Max Fury Road was great because it made no excuses for being a mindless action flick - it was just a really good mindless action flick. The Guardians or the Galaxy and Deadpool movies are just dumb comedy/action flicks but they're fun to watch.

    Get Out might have been a complete ripoff of other stories but it was really funny in a dark way.

    Star Wars: Rogue One Good. Star Wars: Force Awaken Good. Star Wars: Last Jedi Bad. Star Wars: Solo Meh.

    Almost anything with Sam Rockwell, good (check out Moon).

    One of my favorite genres is end-of-world or post-apocalyptic stuff. Check out These Final Hours, The Road, and Children of Men for gut-wrenching. Check out The Domestics and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World for more action/comedy.

    Bridesmaids, hilarious - New Ghostbusters, garbage.

    Thor: Ragnorak, really good and funny - Thor (2011), pretty crapty.

    Have you guys seen The Way, Way Back?  I love that movie.  Such a great feel good movie.  KSUW's mention of Sam Rockwell is what made me think of it.  I love his character in The Way, Way Back.  So if you haven't seen The Way, Way Back check out The Way, Way Back.

    As a matter of fact 33, I have seen that movie.  Check out my review of it from the mists of time:

    The Way Way Back

    Cast was good. I enjoyed how Steve Carell showed off some versatility by being an unlikeable prick. Sam Rockwell was his usual stud underrated self.  The kid who played Duncan really embraced his role as an awkward semi-loserish self but was still believeable when he became a semi-confident semi-stud at the end.

    Way way back is way good. 

    My favorite Rockwell flick is Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.  I thought he was fine in 3 Billboards but has more deserving performances.

    The Shape of Water (2017) - 4/7 it's beautiful, it has great casting, but it's really on the nose. but i guess that's mostly because it's a very simple classic story. richard jenkins might be the most underrated actor of his generation. i mean we all loved him in there's something about mary/step brothers, and he even had some good scenes in rumor has it, but now we have bone tomahawk and shape of water, and now i'm wondering if he's ever not been awesome. will have to investigate further.
    also del toro did that thing that is starting to really bother me, which is work the film industry into the plot somehow (in this case, have the protagonists live above a movie theater). it's a pretty blatant (and evidently effective) way to get critics to universally JO a movie. like on its own there's nothing wrong with that, but it's becoming too common and i'm just getting tired of it.

    The Lobster (2015) - 3.5/7 oh boy did i want to love this one. it's been on my list for quite a while. it was very interesting and i laughed several times, but ultimately it's like too weird for its own good.  :frown:

    So after watching Avengers: Infinity War and not even recognizing some of the characters, I decided to go back and catch up on all the movies in the MCU I’ve skipped. I’m about to say some pretty controversial things so consider yourself warned....

    The original Thor sucked. Easily one of the worst installments in the MCU. But I actually liked Thor 2 - contrary to most critics. Thor 3 was hilarious.

    Iron Man 2 is bad. Iron Man 3 is even worse. There is literally no reason to watch Iron Man 3. It doesn’t even add anything to the other movies in the MCU. It just sucks.

    I finally finished Avengers 1. I still don’t really like it. It was boring. But the stuff with Loki made a little more sense after watching Thor and Iron Man 2 (which both sucked). But I really like Avengers 2, which many consider to be the worst MCU movie. It was funny and entertaining and did a better job of weaving things together from other movies. And hey Wakanda makes a first appearance!

    Captain America Winter Soldier was great. Captain America and Guardians definitely have the best standalone movies.

    Ant Man was just ok.

    Alright I think I still have maybe 5 more to watch. Sounds like CA Civil War is gonna be important heading into Infinity War.

    Marvel movies in the order I've seen them:

    Avengers 1 - don't really remember too much except it was meh 3/7?

    Avengers 2 - way better than 1 5/7

    Guardians 1 - 6/7

    Civil War - woof, turned this piece of crap off after 30 minutes 1/7

    Thor 3 - very fun 6/7

    Spiderman hc - better than expected 6/7

    Thor 3 is really funny and worth watching. There’s a little bit from Avengers 2 that leads into Thor 3 (mainly concerning the Hulk) but it’s not too important. Thor 2’s not bad, either. I would skip Thor 1.

    Also I love love love Natalie Portman but what a seriously terrible waste of a great actress.

    We are in my wheelhouse now that the focus is on Marvel movies.  I've seen them all (except Ant Man cause busy and Hulk for obvious reasons).  Ask me anything.

    Quick handy lists for you guys.

    Catastrophe's movies you need to see leading into Infinity War: (tried to put these in order but :dunno:)

    1. Iron Man (prerequisite to watching any Marvel movie, really)
    2. Avengers 1 (#2 tries to add story/buildup, but it's really not necessary with Civil War being what it is)
    3. Captain America - Civil War
    4. Guardians of the Galaxy (either one really; if you have to pick one, go with #2)
    5. Dr. Strange
    6. Thor Ragnarok (super fun movie)
    7. OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED - Spider Man Homecoming (the movie doesn't really provide any helpful backstory but it is great and really makes you like the character)

    Marvel Movies Ranked
    1. Iron Man
    2. Dr. Strange
    3. Spider Man Homecoming
    4. Avengers 1
    5. Thor: Ragnarok
    6. Captain America
    7. Guardians of the Galaxy
    8. Ant Man
    9. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
    10. Captain America - Winter Soldier
    11. Captain America - Civil War
    12. Thor
    13. Avengers 2
    14. Black Panther
    15. Thor 2
    16. Iron Man 2
    17. Iron Man 3

    Unranked: Ant Man 2 (have not seen yet); Infinity War

    Disqualified: Hulk (garbage)

    guardians of the galaxy 2 was not very good. it was ok. I liked the first though. watched isle of the dogs last night. I really liked it. i'm guessing that's like a 50/50 movie though where half people will hate it and half will love it.

    I don't regret watching it. Good beginning and good ending (minus the coda, and I don't want to explain what that means because spoilers). The middle kinda dragged on a bit. The Trump commentary sprinkled throughout was a bit too on-the-nose. I prefer subtlety. The individual performances were pretty good, actually. Libs will love it. Pubs probs won't. It will probs win several Oscars.

    I walked out feeling about 4/7. Not a movie I'm rushing to recommend to my friends, but I also wouldn't try to dissuade someone from watching it. I just felt Spike was a bit too heavy-handed with the way he chose to make all the satirical stuff so obvious, but I guess maybe the low brows need that kind of signalling.

    Avengers: Infinity War --  Very not bad.  Probably top 1/3 of Marvel movies.  2 things:  1) Thor has gone from my least favorite Avenger to most favorite.  Wow, what a stud.  2) I don't really understand Thanos' motivation for killing half the universe.  Just population control?  If the infinity stones give you basically unlimited power couldn't he just create like a billion more planets so there would be enough room?  Thanos was a great villain though, probably the best yet.

    I have no idea why HBO is promoting this movie or how it gets a 92% approval rating from google users. It’s a “Waiting” type wannabe movie that is just flat out awful. It has some cringe worthy racey jokes and definitely was the biggest waste of an hour and a half I have had in quite some time.

    Avengers: Infinity War --  Very not bad.  Probably top 1/3 of Marvel movies.  2 things:  1) Thor has gone from my least favorite Avenger to most favorite.  Wow, what a stud.  2) I don't really understand Thanos' motivation for killing half the universe.  Just population control?  If the infinity stones give you basically unlimited power couldn't he just create like a billion more planets so there would be enough room?  Thanos was a great villain though, probably the best yet.

    the Thor movie where he fights Hulk was one of the best I've seen. I didn't expect that!

    Mission Impossible Fallout: Great action flick, mediocre movie.  Face gag is getting old. 

    Really getting close to Fast and Furious meets James Bond but somehow not as entertaining as either

    The Most Unknown.  -  Netflix

    The movie is a doc and follows 9 different scientists. The first one is a microbiologist who goes and interviews a physicist in their lab. The physicist shows them all about what they do and the microbiologist gets to see the ways other scientists do their work. The physicist then goes to see a Cognitive Psychologist and the process continues in that order.

    It’s a very interesting concept for a movie to show parallels between different disciplines of science. Gets each scientist exposed to a new branch that they don’t normally see. Each of the topics the scientists do are all things I am interested and fascinated with. So obviously I’m going to rate this movie very favorably. The objective side is it’s cool that it explorers the truly most unknown subjects and areas in science today. Very fun watch if you like to be challenged in your understanding of the physical and cognitive world around you.

    As I slowly wind my way through the Marvel movies, I’m on a bad run....

    Captain America Civil War: Defintiely toward the bottom of the list. Almost completely humorless, and the “plot” is asinine. It seems like the entire purpose of this movie was setting up “the big fight scene.” And that’s all this movie is really good for. At least Paul Rudd gets a few laughs, and Black Panther actually kinda steals the show, which is ironic because....

    Black Panther: Also toward the bottom of my list. Talk about a movie that takes itself waaaay too damned seriously. It is devoid of almost any humor (Claw and the gorilla tribe leader get a few good laughs) and the first half is downright boring until the main bad guy shows up (who to be fair is kind of a badass and did have a pretty compelling backstory). And JFC spare me the blaxploitation crap. Black Panther himself is a good actor and a good character but this movie was not great.

    Incredible Hulk: Complete crap. Second only to Iron Man 3 on the garbage meter.

    I think I’ve just about seen them all now, except for Dr. Strange and Spider Man.

    Ah, I see.  To each their own.  Looks like other known studs on here praised the ending too. 

    Watched Whiplash last night for the first time.  He said some horrible things to that kid, but some of it was kind of funny in a way.  My favorite line was the one about the single tear and the double rainbow.  I liked it, especially the end.  Also, is it common to bleed that much while drumming?

    The kid deserved all the yelling, what a dick

    Yeah I don’t even know if there is a good explanation for this, but I think the writers want you to believe (1) Thanos sees himself as a hero, and (2) he’s really just a psychotic jerk. So it’s entirely possible he simply doesn’t view doubling the resources as a preferable option.

    Sorry, that was shorthand and perhaps not entirely appropriate terminology. Basically I mean that Black Panther at times seemed like it was being directed by Spike Lee. The racial messaging was extremely in your face. Whole lotta “man, white people are ignorant and arrogant,” “black people are victims and we have to help them” stuff peppered throughout the entire film. Probably culminating in the worst line of the movie (paraphrasing) “bury me at sea like my ancestors who jumped off the ships to avoid slavery.” Then the delightful cut scene at the UN where Pompous Old White Boy scoffs “Wakanda is a third world country - what can you possibly teach us?” Said nobody at the UN, ever.

    Finally got through Doctor Strange. I have up on it about halfway through my first effort because it was too damned.... strange. Casting spells isn’t really my thing. But I have to admit, it’s actually one of the better executed Marvel movies even if Strange is far from my favorite character. It was funny, entertaining, fast paced, good effects. All in all a pretty good movie.

    I had quite a few critiques of the movie myself. I think it is hard to imagine that people in Wakanda would not look down on white people, that makes the most sense.

    I think the "black people are victims and we have to help them" was pretty much first introduced by Killmonger and to me cuts to one of the core reasons why the film is so strange. It would be a much more interesting movie if Killmonger had won and then tried to fight the world in a Maoist 3rd world revolution and then been stopped further along.  Then what? 

    The idea that the King would stop that and then only work within the UN and Western power structures to help the rest of Africa/First World blacks is pretty weird.

    The weirdest part for me is trying to understand why this super advanced, very rich society is still a monarchy with the most primitive politics imaginable. If it is like that, we don't have nearly enough about the other people of Wakanda. Are they happy with this arrangement? Are dissidents locked up? I don't get that at all.

    Also, Killmonger was right.

    Yeah, the monarchy thing was really dumb.  Like, all it took to show how mumped they could be was an unfavorable result in a one on one medieval weapons brawl.  LOL, great system of government dumbasses!

Finally, super-raptor chases our protagonists around the creepy mansion like a cheap horror flick. Who the eff wrote this steaming pile of a screenplay?

    I thought it was pretty disappointing, but my movie partner claims she enjoyed it. I saw it despite the low low RT score because I liked The Conjuring, and to a lesser extent TC 2, so much. It's almost campy, but not in a good way. Then again, if you go in with really low expectations you might not totally regret wasting your time.

    Hell or High Water (2016) - 6/7
    great cast and writing. pretty straightforward story where you spend 3/4 of the movie waiting for ben foster to F everything up. jeff bridges very enjoyable as always.

    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) - 2/7
    is this satire? i guess so (of british culture). is it comedy? not really but sam rockwell is sort of funny. is it sci-fi? not really but it does take place in space, but like, waaaay too low budget to be any good at it. i don't really get what it was trying to do and it kind of felt like a tv movie and i also i fell asleep with like 30 mins left and will probably never finish it.

    Ready Player One was good.  Very original, and I loved all the references to other stuff.  My only real problem is that I didn't care about any of the characters or what happened to them.  Didn't seem like much was ever at stake.

    Watched The Surrounding Game last night.  It was kind of a doc but it was filmed in 2012.  I had never even heard of Go and to learn that it is has 10x as many legal moves as chess and how complex it was it was a very interesting movie.  I haven't played Go yet but seems like the kind of game that I would enjoy.

    It (2017) - 5/7

    pretty good! it was written by the True Detective / Maniac guy (!) so there was pretty great dialogue / story development. not really that scary and like idk why sometimes the clown had to wobble back and forth in fast forward with loud scratchy music, like in a shitty horror movie trailer. but whatevs, most of the time the clown did not do that. also didn't know the book is like 1100 pages and there will be a chapter 2 with jessica chastain and bill hader and james mcavoy! during the movie irl i was like this girl looks like jessica chastain. wow.

    Some great shots/moments of space stuff which is fun.  Right in Gosling's wheelhouse of quietly brooding the whole movie.  Feels like you're getting almost a documentary instead of a movie focused on weaving B/C plot lines throughout, which works well.

    Is that all?
    I don't regret watching it. Good beginning and good ending (minus the coda, and I don't want to explain what that means because spoilers). The middle kinda dragged on a bit. The Trump commentary sprinkled throughout was a bit too on-the-nose. I prefer subtlety. The individual performances were pretty good, actually. Libs will love it. Pubs probs won't. It will probs win several Oscars.

    I walked out feeling about 4/7. Not a movie I'm rushing to recommend to my friends, but I also wouldn't try to dissuade someone from watching it. I just felt Spike was a bit too heavy-handed with the way he chose to make all the satirical stuff so obvious, but I guess maybe the low brows need that kind of signalling.

    Got around to Bohemian Rhapsody last night.  Very enjoyable.  The dude who played Freddie was great and the guy they got to play Brian May looks just like him too.  The Wayne's World callback was kinda funny.  I scoff at the notion that Live Aid was hardly getting any donations until Queen took the stage though, but whatever.  Also how great would it have been to be one of Freddie Mercury's cats?

    When I got home I found their entire Live Aid performance on YouTube, man they absolutely killed it that day.

    It's just that one 15 minute or so scene but you could.  I thought the movie version highlighted Raimi Malek's performance though.

    It reminded me of the end of The Disaster Artist and the clips side by side with The Room.  I enjoyed that quite a bit.  BR was far more nuanced and specific in the recreation though.

    yes, plot-wise you could consider it Braveheart II.

    relative only to Braveheart, Outlaw King:
    -has less cheese
    -has an overall weaker cast (although the 4 mains are all good)
    -features characters (especially the English ones) that are more three-dimensional than their universally evil/weak Braveheart counterparts
    -has more dongs and fewer asses
    -feels less "epic"; this could be because it's on netflix, or because it's more focused on internal conflict, or because i was not a teenager upon first viewing. hard to really pinpoint. the 90s cranked out some epics tho didn't they? wow

    I’ve seen it a ton of times, but, The Book of Eli is a great flick movie. I looked it up and the reviews are terrible, but who even trusts critics!?

    I am obviously not a religious person but I get chills at the end when he’s reading off each line of Genesis and the wild haired guy is writing it down. I mean how can you not get chills? The foundation of every civilized society in history is a strong faith of some kind.

    I may not agree with it and believe, but I understand the profound impact it has. Maybe that’s why I like the movie so much is because if nuclear war does happen, faith and a higher power can and should be a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Bird Box: 6/7. Netflix original flick starring Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, and other people you'd recognize. Based on the popular, eponymous novel. It's in the vein of a Stephen King book/movie, which might be why I liked it. So if you don't like movies like The Mist, or The Stand, then you wouldn't like this one. It's also like a nonshitty A Quiet Place. A little hokey, but it really maintains the suspense the whole time. I was sad when it ended.

    Man, I've been an absolute movie watching fool lately.  This is what I've watched in about the last two weeks -- I think this is all of them:

    LA Confidential - Loved it!  Whatever happened to Guy Pearce?  I think I've only ever seen him in this and Memento.  This guy is batting 1000 so far with me.

    Baby Driver - Fantastic.  Should not have waited this long to watch it.  See it ASAP if you haven't.

    Hell or High Water - Very, very good.  Had high hopes coming in and it exceeded them.

    Leave No Trace - Kind of sucked. 

    Before Sunrise - I'd been meaning to watch the "Before" trilogy for a while, and finally got around to starting it.  I get the appeal.  Just a lot of back and forth talking.  The characters get kind of annoying.  They have all this cynicism without having any real life experience. But I also think that's a pretty realistic depiction of a 20 somethings who think they have the world figured out.  No real drama or suspense imo, but a nice little time spent with some nicely developed characters.  But my word, that night lasted like, 30 hours with all the crap they did.

    Before Sunset - Like Back to the Future II, this made me appreciate the first movie of the series more.  Good sequels do that.

    John Wick - OK.  Action for action's sake.  I was probably expecting more. 

    Molly's Game - Very fun!  Everything you want out of a movie.  Good job by everyone here.

    The Death of Stalin - I liked this.  Pretty funny.  George Bluth is a joy.

    Phantom Thread - It was ok.  I could watch DDL do just about anything.  It was very well done, but I didn't really like any characters in the movie from about the halfway point on.  Makes for a difficult watch.

    Bird Box - Like the Happening, only not quite as bad?  I don't know.  Definitely suspenseful, but it also hamfisted at times. 

    Blazing Saddles - I know I know.  Long overdue.  Some of the bits are really good.  Taken aback by how short the runtime was.

    Bird Box: 6/7. Netflix original flick starring Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, and other people you'd recognize. Based on the popular, eponymous novel. It's in the vein of a Stephen King book/movie, which might be why I liked it. So if you don't like movies like The Mist, or The Stand, then you wouldn't like this one. It's also like a nonshitty A Quiet Place. A little hokey, but it really maintains the suspense the whole time. I was sad when it ended.
    Is this accurate?

    Man, I've been an absolute movie watching fool lately.  This is what I've watched in about the last two weeks -- I think this is all of them:

    LA Confidential - Loved it!  Whatever happened to Guy Pearce?  I think I've only ever seen him in this and Memento.  This guy is batting 1000 so far with me.

    he had memorable roles in the proposition, the King's Speech, and prometheus/alien covenant

    haha. also, do whatever you want but I think you should watch the third soon. it's different and I think you'll appreciate it more now than later. also, the ending for BS (before sunset)( :Keke: ) is ridiculously good. "baby you're going to miss that plane" as he laughs and touches his ring.

    bad moms christmas - i went into this movie with zero expectations, it just needed to fill some time for mrs. 'blast and me and we didn't want anything heavy. a stupid bad comedy seemed appropriate. it was worse than i ever could have expected. i did see the first bad moms and i don't remember it being this terrible. holy crap. i am all for stupid comedies but there wasn't anything funny and it was all forced. bad bad movie and anyone involved in its production should feel bad.

    Perfect Bid - 4/7 Documentary about a guy who memorized all the prices on the Price is Right.  A little over an hour.  Not a super intriguing tale but interesting if you were a fan of the show.  He was involved with the guy who had the perfect bid in the showcase showdown.

    Gringo - 3/7 A slower paced, less complicated attempt at a Guy Ritchie movie IMO.

    1. 3:10 to Yuma.  Appointment viewing for anyone who likes Westerns. 
    2. The Lobster.  This is a challenging movie.  Pretty bleak, but certainly has some moments. 
    3. Marjorie Prime.  this was another slow-one that wasn't what i would call "uplifting."  Yeah, feel free to skip this one and The Lobster.  They're fine and do some interesting things, but your time is probably better spent elsewhere.
    4. Bohemian Rhapsody.  This was terrific.  Great tunes.  Malek is great.  Story/writing felt a little hollow, but maybe that's just because I heard the story/writing was a little hollow going into it.  Overall, a nice time at the movies.

    5.5/7

    I stand by that review. Pretty good is about right.

    Haven’t seen much lately. I think last one I saw was Ralph 2. I went in expecting it to be a shitty imitation of the original, stuffed with internet bullshit and product placement. It met my expectations. The Disney princess scene and the venelope music number were good, but that’s about 7 minutes of the movie. Also, nobody seems to care that the first movie was all about not “going Turbo” and the sequel is like “yeah, whatever, do what you want.”

    The Upside - 4/7: Exactly what you think it is.  Good role for Hart to be a little more serious but still mostly comedic.  Cranston is very good.

    Hereditary - 6/7: Weird, strange, fun, scary.  Maybe a little overhyped but still good and original.

    Parts were funny and parts were insightful/interesting.  A lot of it was just plain lazy in the explanations for his actions.  They pretty much go "Dick Cheney did this because he's evil" at points.  I thought Bale's performance was almost as good as Malek's, he was just playing the opposite of a gay charismatic rock star.

    I still say it's worth seeing for the high points.

    Ex Machina. Holy rough ridin' crap how had I not seen this already! I literally got chills during the ending. Wow.

    Man what other gems have I missed out on that I’ll see 3 years after they came out.

    Watching for the second time and I was curious what language he used to reprogram the security system towards the end.  Python is a great machine learning language and it makes sense that that’s what the system would be built in.  This raises the holy crap realism of this movie.  So great.

    Tammy and the T-Rex is outstanding. 

    Although the movie tells a tale as old as time (teenager's boyfriend is mauled by a lion and has his brain inserted into a T-Rex), the movie is elevated by an electric performance from Denise Richards.

    So it wasn't for another project, it was a serenity meeting.  :lol:

    Quote
    Hathaway shared a story about another time drinking impacted her work: a hungover business meeting after a night out with Matthew McConaughey, her costar in the upcoming film Serenity, and his wife, Camila Alves. "We drank the night away, and then I had to go to a meeting with Steven Knight, our director, the next day, and I was just kind of…have you guys ever had to go to a meeting hungover?" Hathaway asked the audience. "I was just kinda stumbling in with one eye open, and I was trying to convince him about certain things about my character."

    "And at the end of it I said, 'Listen, I have a confession. I was hungover the entire time.' And he just goes, "Oh, really? I couldn't tell,'" Hathaway said. "Then two days later we had another meeting and I showed up and he said, 'Oh, now I can tell.'"

    I see Diane Lane is also in that movie.  Her and McConaughey were probably just using that film to work on their chemistry for the upcoming blockbuster "Barge Gas".

    I watched Kingsman (the first one) over the weekend.  It started out pretty strong, but by the end I really disliked it.  It had potential (Sam Jackson was great throughout), but it was a little too hurrr hurrr hurrr at times to work (for me).  I was hoping it would be a bit sillier.  2/7

    Watched Serenity.  I thought Matt would figure out he was in a video game at the very end before he kills the guy, but he figures it out about halfway through.  Then they spend 30 minutes basically confirming he is in a video game with every character in the movie.  Electrifying stuff.

    I don't feel like I can appropriately apply the raccoon scale to this movie as it is equal parts all of the raccoons and none of them.

    There are a dozen superhero movies in the MCU alone that are better than Black Panther. It’s on the low end. So obviously worthy of a best picture nomination.

    I mean, the white guy was the ignorant, bumbling, low-skilled simpleton, and the black guy was the erudite, talented, brave trailblazer. And the entire movie was about the struggles faced by black people in the wake of the civil rights era. At the end of the day, the white guy and the black guy both ended up learning unexpected lessons from one another. I get that that is classic oscar bait, but the "white savior" narrative I had seen hurled at the movie seems inapposite to me.

    I do appreciate the movie bringing awareness of the real green book to modern society. I had never heard of it. Someone on the kc reddit posted pictures of the Kansas and Missouri pages from the '49 edition, pretty interesting.

    its shown up on alot of my podcasts in the last 6 months. very interesting and notable, but i didnt even know there was a movie until the oscars ruffling

    Quote
    he film’s approach to racism, common to Hollywood films, which is to suggest that relationships between individuals will heal centuries of racism. And indeed, Green Book’s treatment of racism is uneven at best. In an early scene, for instance, Tony throws away two drinking glasses that black construction workers used in his kitchen, suggesting he draws a hard line about even coming into contact with black people. But a movie like this needs a “likable” hero, and after that moment, he doesn’t engage in such blatantly offensive behavior for the rest of the film. As an Italian American, Tony would have experienced plenty of discrimination himself, but the film only hints at it.

    good summation of what people didn't like about it.

    Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit ... meh
    Enemy ... whoa. didn't see this one coming. total mind eff, what is going on? hauntingly suspenseful, really enjoyed this one, makes you think.

    started Her... will report back once finished

    Finally got around to watching Enemy a while back. Initial reaction was disappointment and annoyed with the ending. After some time thinking about it I've come to appreciate the story and thought put into it. I am a sucker for the dark, suspenseful stuff though.

    Spiderverse was better than I expected and I don’t even like Spider-Man. Decent. Deserved the best animation Oscar for sure.

    Bohemian Rapsody was excellent. My favorite of the BP nominees so far. Not sure if that guy won best actor but he should have.

    Green Book was also terrific. Did Aragorn really get that fat, or was that part of the costume? Oh and all the whiny little snowflakes offenended by this movie can get bent. Apparently a lot of folks in Hollywood and whiny bloggers think only a black director like Spike Lee is allowed to make movies about racism.

    As already reported, Black Panther was among the most mediocre installments to the MCU. Talk about racism in action - nominating this turd for BP was the most patronizing pat on the head imaginable.

    Next up for me are Star is Born and BlackTrump’saRacist. I really don’t like the lady who stars opposite Rocket (I’m not even going to name her because I hate even her dumb name), but people keep telling me it’s good (not the same dumbasses who like Black Panther) so I’m giving it a shot.

    Both have racial settings. Sounds like he enjoyed one and he's already going into the other with a "they're out to get the white man" mindset on the second one. Probably because of who made the movie I'd assume. Doesn't sound like he got the message from the first one tho.  :frown:

    I’m referring to Spike’s not-so-subtle call-outs to Trump supposedly peppered throughout the movie. I thought that was a pretty obvious reference. His predictable idiotic sermonizing aside, I’m betting it’s a pretty entertaining movie.

    Black Panther was also like the top grossing Marvel movie ever (even more than Infinity War if I’m googling correctly), which could have been a factor. I mean I didn’t think it was great either but I know a ton of people who did.

    Or maybe you’re right and they just wanted black people to feel good.

    But blackness is? My point is there is a much simpler explanation on the table than racism. The Academy even tried to include a “popular film” category in 2018 for crying out loud.

    Yes, they've been trying to get more widely successful movies into the best picture nominees. That's been a goal for the past few years.

    I also don’t at all doubt that having a majority black cast and leadership were also factors in determining that black panther was "groundbreaking" in the blockbuster action category. People that say it was only nominated in a patronizing manner miss that point I think. I thought overall it was meh, but lots of people didn't. I went to the ward pkwy target on Halloween and 75% of the little black boys (and quite a few little white boys too) there trick or treating were dressed as black panther.  That made me think about the film and in different terms, more of an acknowledgement of an achievement.

    Of course infinity war was also a pretty groundbreaking achievement for tying 10 years of work over 20+ films together flawlessly. It's very impressive.

    It’s a decent movie even if you haven’t seen many of the MCU movies, but you’ll enjoy it more if you have. You can skip Thor 1 and Hulk and Iron Man 2 and 3 for sure. I’d at least watch Guardians 1 and 2, Thor Ragnorak, the Captain America movies, and the prior Avengers movies, which are all pretty good.

    I agree, but that’s my point. Honoring a mediocre movie because it’s “important to black people” is patronizing and a form of racism. The movie isn’t complete trash - it definitely has some entertaining scenes and characters - but overall it’s too long and too dull. It was not worthy of a best picture nomination by any stretch. And even from a standpoint of cultural significance, I think it will fade quicker than people think.

    BlacKKKlansman was an interesting story. Would have been a great movie except that Spike Lee’s racial grievance mongering is slathered over nearly every frame. It’s nauseating. And not worthy of a BP nomination (but of course it’s exactly the kind of red meat the academy slobbers over). I did really like the actors in this movie. Even Adam Driver who typically annoys me.

    BlacKKKlansman was an interesting story. Would have been a great movie except that Spike Lee’s racial grievance mongering is slathered over nearly every frame. It’s nauseating. And not worthy of a BP nomination (but of course it’s exactly the kind of red meat the academy slobbers over). I did really like the actors in this movie. Even Adam Driver who typically annoys me.

    Unplanned. Wow. I expected this movie, like anything produced outside Hollywood with a pro-Christian / pro-life message, to have poor production value, infomercial scripting, and Kirk Cameron. This was an actual movie, and a good one at that. I wouldn't call it a "fun" watch, but unless you are so strongly pro-abortion that you are not open to other viewpoints, I'd highly recommend you watch this. A better movie, and even more compelling message, than Gosnell (which was itself very good).

    Based on the true story of Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood clinic director, who left PP after 8 years when she witnessed a sonogram-guided procedure being performed in her clinic. One of the more interesting production tidbits is that the clinic doctor is played by an actual former abortionist. The R-rating is warranted, but not without irony: it depicts nothing more violent than what advocates describe as a "medical procedure," and girls under the age of 17 aren't allowed to buy a ticket for this movie but can get an abortion in many states.

    Ant-Man and The Wasp. Decent enough to watch with the kid but glad I didn't go to the theater for it. 3.5/7.

    Netflix Close. So much potential but a few shitty scenes (underwater scene was the worst) and B list actors ruined it for me. Your take may vary. 3/7.

    The Favourite. Rachel Weis continues her streak of appearing in some really weird crap. I thought this was a period piece, and it kinda is, but I was surprised to see it’s more of a dark comedy. Very Death of Stalin-esque. The sets and costumes probably garnered the BP nomination, but I didn’t consider a great movie. Worth a rental tho.

    The Secret (2007ish) - Watched this David Duchovny movie because it is about to be on the How Did This Get Made podcast.  A wife and daughter freaky friday switch right as the mom dies, so the mom is in the daughter's body.  Convinces the dad of this eventually.  Tries to sleep with husband/dad.  Then goes out and parties with 16 year olds.  Eventually the daughter comes back into the body so the mom is just dead then, I guess :dunno:  I had two thoughts for the whole movie which were "someone watched Freaky Friday and wandered about sleeping with the daughter" and "they could have just not made this movie"  Also, perhaps a prequel to Unplanned

    2.  Is it about the elevation of individuals within the tribe to become king/ Black Panther?
    3.  Is it a showcase to show African-centric sci-fi (which was extremely cool, BTW).

    One of my wife's coworkers was in a production of this at the Manhattan Art Center.  They did a good job making jokes out of the small production.  Haven't seen the original but the play was interesting although I'm sure it was slimmed down a lot.

    Watched a little-known Rock Hudson movie from 1966 called Seconds.  A fat old banker has surgery and ID change to start a new life as an artist in Malibu (beach house, no less).  His new identity is played by Rock Hudson.  Fair amount of frontal nudity, very rare for a movie from that time.  If you like Rod Serling's Twilight Zone, this movie is like a 90 minute episode.  Actually pretty good, not the kind of acting gig Rock Hudson was known for.

    lil sd and I watched Thor Ragnarok this weekend. It is our first super hero movie we've watched. Apparently a lot of stuff has happened before between these characters and I know a little bit about what happens later because I watched one of the Avenger movies on an airplane but I don't think it altered the experience. Very fun movie, humor was accessible for a 6 year old. 7/7 for a dad and 6 year old to watch together (no cursing or sex and violence was over the top enough to not be real and scary).

    Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) - 4/7. it is incredibly hard to get used to how terrible movies used to be. like this whole thing was shot indoors with glaringly bright studio lights everywhere, and everyone talks weird, etc. but liz taylor is electric enough to carry the movie until paul newman actually starts talking, and there are some good scenes/lines in the final act with the narrator from rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

    Three Days of the Condor (1975) - 5.5/7. obvious similarities with all the president's men, without the inherent advantages of being a true story and having dustin hoffman. but still pretty good. robert redford is a gem. would absolutely drive faye dunaway's ford bronco.

    The 12th Man (2017) - 5/7. it's super low budget and pretty long, but the story is so incred and the details are well thought out that it's still pretty good. apparently jonathan rhys meyers does not speak german but learned all his lines anyway. i enjoy listening to norwegian

    lot of plane movies lately

    Network (1976): 6/7
    some fantastic dialogues and monologues, and i guess the plot was supposed to be wildly satirical, but this millennial took almost everything at face value. like, yeah oh no crap people acting crazy drives ratings? :dunno:

    Catch-22 (1970): 3/7
    the first half hour or so you get TLB alan arkin, martin sheen, bob newhart, and jon voight doing basically broad laurel & hardy bits and it's all very funny! then the movie decides to get serious and it sucks after that.

    Secret in their Eyes (2015): 1.5/7 this is one of the worst movies i've ever seen.

    Paddleton (2019): 5/7 worth watching for Ray Romano. i hope he gets some awards for this one

    Maps to the Stars (2014): 4.5/7  :sdeek:

    GF was out of town this weekend, so Dlew had some movies to watch.

    Brawl in Cell Block 99 - Pretty good!  Vince Vaughn being a ruthless badass in prison is different to watch.  He's a big guy so it's not too hard to believe.  Directed by the Bone Tomahawk guy so it's extremely gory.

    A Serious Man - Coen Brothers.  If I was Jewish, I think the references and things that make this a *great film* wouldn't be lost on me and I'd have enjoyed it more.  But alas. 

    The Believer - Same thing as A Serious Man. TLB Ryan Gosling is a jewish neo-Nazi.  This was pretty disturbing because Gosling's character is portrayed as this struggling intellectual who speaks articulately about the ideals of fascism and nazism.  I could easily see this movie being picked up by dipshits and deifying Gosling's character during parts.  Very of its time (2000) in terms of style.  Worth the watch.

    Girlfriend and I had a mini John Cusack marathon last night:

    1. 1408 - still holds up.  Good horror movie that doesn't need to rely on lots of blood and gore to be effective. 6/7
    2. Cell - no, not to be confused with "The Cell" starring J Lo, it's just "Cell."  One of the worst movies I've ever seen.  It's roughly on the same level as a SyFy original.  0/7

    Interestingly both of these movies were adapted from Steven King stories but it's amazing how far apart they were in quality  :nerd:

    I got "Polyester" directed by John Waters, filmed in Smell-O-Rama.  During the movie, they display numeric cues to scratch and sniff a numbered circle on a card with about 20 scratch n' sniff things.  Grossest was when they cued you to scratch and sniff a patch when the actor was in bed farting and scratching his armpit, and he was with his sleazy mistress ("Mink Stole").  Quite an experience that you won't find with very many movies.

    3 married women who are on their way to a remote kids camp for 3 days, no communication there.  A gal that's a friend of all 3 sends them a telegram that they get right as they're boarding the ferry for the remote camp.  The telegram tells all 3 that she is going to run off with one of their husbands while they're gone.  Rest of movie has shifting plot timeline to examine each of the 3 couples marriages.  It was really good.

    El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

    Pretty good but not great resolution to Jesse's story.  There's too much Todd, both in terms of screen time and body mass.  What I'm saying is the dude got fat.

    Jesse and Skyler running off to the Bahamas together at the end was quite unexpected.

    Spiderman far from home - 5/7 kinda disappointing
    El Camino - 6/7 I had very low expectations. 150% fan service but whatever
    Joker - 4/7 pretty meh. Phoenix is a monster but everything else is meh
    Red sparrow - 2/7 I fell asleep before the ending last night and I don't care at all to go back and see what happened. Bad movie

    The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) - 3/7 the "shock" value of a surreal plot-less movie has been pretty much eliminated over time. still, some funny scenes.

    The Laundromat (2019) - 4/7 pretty scattered and unfocused but i like soderbergh even when he's at less than peak form

    Song to Song (2017) - 4/7 pretty long and lacking the type of memorable scenes that made Tree of Life so great, but i still like malick even when he's at less than peak form

    Airplane movies:
    The Art of Self Defense - Very dry comedy, very good. 
    Godzilla - Fine I guess
    John Wick 3 - Favorite JW yet
    Toy Story 4 - Toy story snore!
    Anna vs the Apocalypse - It was ok
    Them That Follow - I enjoyed mostly because Walton Goggins got to basically reprise his Justified character

    Goldfinger - You can tell production value went way up.  Already starting to get pretty self-referential.  Enjoyed it, but I think I'd probably opt for From Russia with Love.  Cold War intrigue is a little more relatable than a dude who loves gold.  Anyway, I've liked all three so far.

    1. FRWL (Connery)
    2. Goldfinger (Connery)
    3. Dr. No (Connery)

    4.5/7

    Joker was some seriously depressing crap.

    Watched this last night and can confirm.  It was damn near too dark, gritty and depressing to enjoy.  Like, the movie ended and I just sat on my couch and sulked for about 5 minutes. Joaquin Phoenix absolutely nailed his performance.

    4.5/7

    Oscar worthy.  Looks to have starved himself for the role.

    Irishman should've been 90 min., so-so movie
    Jo Jo Rabbit was really good and Scarlett Johansson merits best actress Oscar.  One has to put themselves  in the shoes of Jo Jo.

    Parents babysat the lil one tonight and left the TV on 6 Underground tonight (they don’t have Netflix anymore). So I’m rewatching it again and I get why this movie struck a nerve with our man, Chodecat. They’re killing fake dictatorship ppl on film. 😞

    Watched a lot of movies this weekend:

    1. Downfall - Portrays the last days of Hitler (mostly) through the perspective of his young female secretary.  This is the movie that shows hitler freaking out in the bunker that was popular in memes like 10 years ago.  It's long but pretty interesting.  Was a little surprised at how prevalent suicide is throughout the movie, but in hindsight, I was probably dumb to be surprised by that.  Critically, it was criticized for showing the humanity of the Nazis, but it sure wasn't sympathetic at all.  I enjoyed it.

    2.  Kill Bill vols. 1 and 2 - Fun stuff.  I liked how when a limb or head was chopped off blood sprayed out like it was coming out of a shower faucet.  The very old master guy (pai mei?) was great. 

    3.  The Rainmaker.  I don't really like lawyer movies.  Young Matt Damon did a pretty good job though.  I would have been fine not watching this.

    Correct it looks like a single continuous shot and knowing that gave me a greater appreciation of the viewing experience. I know they said when they were shooting they would have long periods of down time bc it was overcast when the scene started so they would have to stop shooting and wait for hours until the sky was sufficiently overcast again to maintain the continuity.

    Rewatched The Revenant again yesterday. Man, I love that movie. I love everything about it. It's less heavy after repeated viewings, which makes the rewatch a much different experience. That's good in my opinion.

    The feeling I experienced leaving the theater after my first viewing was something I've never felt at the conclusion of a movie before. Nobody said anything while exiting. We just kind of got up and left. Definitely speaks to the power of the movie, but not something you really want to feel in subsequent viewings.

    Watched The Revenant with asterisk*head after it came out. Honestly thought it was kind of bad. Some very cringe-y moments (bear scene, chase scene). Thought Leo chewed up the scenery. Tom Hardy not much better. Cinematography was phenomenal though.

    Yes. Like the best lasagna hitting all the right notes.  No it isn't ever going to be something completely new or win any cinematography awards, but the acting is very solid, the movie is legitimately very funny and the story is very well told with rich characters that have compelling choices and consequences that play out within both short and long arcs.

    Uncut Gems - 6/7 but I'll never watch it again without a pound of Xanax at my disposal. Did you know Garnett's character was originally supposed to be Embiid?!?

    1917 - 5.5/7 - one shot wasn't distracting except I had no idea how much time was supposed to have taken place, because it wasn't supposed to be 2 hours

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - 6/7

    Irishman - I have no idea how to rate this movie. I thought the first two acts were fine but the third act is top fuckin notch. Also, I really wish they would have stuck with the original title "I Heard You Paint Houses"

    I just listened to an interview on this. It was originally supposed to be Amare Stoudamire because the directors are huge Knicks fans, and Amare is Jewish so it had a whole other element to it.  but over time to have Amari's hair match the game footage he would've had to cut his dreds and he didn't want to do it.

    Next they went with Joel Embiid, but it took too long and ended up getting in to the season and didn't work out, then they got to KG.

    At one point Kobe Bryant's people were interested and they wrote up a script, but it didn't go anywhere.  I think Embiid probably does a great job in the role too and they had written in some stuff about reclaiming the gem for Africa which would've been an interesting story line. But I don't think it works just as well as the Game 7 and KG because anyone that follows the NBA knows how big that Celtics run was and it adds a bit.

    It sounds like you have a pretty good nose for it as is.

    Watched The Gentleman this weekend.  Pretty entertaining.  Seemed like a more broadly accessible Guy Ritchie film.

    1. Jojo Rabbit
    2. Rewatching Jojo Rabbit
    3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
    4. Uncut Gems
    5. The Irishman

    I agree with this take. Glad I saw it, I recommend it, but I'm not sure how it snuck into the "Best Picture" category.

    Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood

    Fun to watch because of all the great actors and scenery. Long though, with a weird and random ass storyline (tarantino tho). Would watch again.

    i really liked it within the context of his love for hollywood and film and wanting to rewrite a really ugly part of its past
    i have a hard time sitting still for that long but didn't mind it a bit given his ability to tell a story.  even though i was 2 hours in wondering what the hell i was watching, i didn't mind it.

    I watched "Laundromat" on Netflix, and it's amusing but not great.  If you are bored, it will be a good use of time.  If you haven't seen a movie in quite a while, then look elsewhere for plenty of other movies that are way better than this.

    Have you seen Four Rooms?  It's a movie of four short films by famous directors (including Tarantino) with a common denominator is that all four scenes are at the same Hollywood hotel on New Years Eve.  "Misbehaving" involves a gangsters kids discovering a dead hooker....well, you get the idea.  Great movie.

    these two movies are night and day between the two. Wolf is hella fun and good boys was an embarrassing movie ticket for my fam that I wish I could take back.

    Also, I paid $15 for knives out tonight to watch something we hadn’t seen yet and I’m embarrassed I fell for the trap. Woof! Only reason ppl talked about this movie is because all of the actors in it. Wait till it’s on HBO.

    Nothing funny, dramatic, or interesting happened in the first 90 minutes. The acting sucked too (except for McConaughey at the restaurant who was the only one who could pull off the over-the-top bullshit). A complete waste of time. Maybe the second half gets better but at that point I realized I wasn't enjoying it and didn't give a crap about what happened. Unreal that it was a popular movie.

    JoJo was outstanding. My pick for BP.

    1917 was impressive, but not something I'd watch a second time.

    Once Upon a Time was flat out great.

    Parasite was meh. It was fine as far as movies go, but I wouldn't watch it again and I sure wouldn't consider it close to BP.

    Irishman was really good. Didn't feel as long as its runtime. Wouldn't watch it again, tho.

    Joker was good in a highly unpleasant way that I wouldn't watch again.

    Ford v Ferrari was a lot of fun, but a weird choice for a BP nomination.

    Didn't see Little Women or Marriage Story - not my thing.

    Fun fact about Apocalypse Now! They invented surround sound for it! They didn't know theaters were going to go all in on it, so they initially were going to build a theater in Kansas and air it for a couple years as a big event and hope people traveled to see it.

    Huh, basically true.

    Quote
    Francis Ford Coppola wanted the film to be a special event by having it play in exactly one theater in Kansas in the geographical center of the country. The theater would be built especially for the film with a specially made surround sound system, where the film would run continuously for ten years.

    But technically, Apocalypse Now was the first wide release utilizing 5.1 surround sound. Fantasia was the first movie to use an earlier 3-speaker version of surround sound. Leave it to Disney.

    I have (re)watched all of tarintinos movies over the last month.

    I really hope someone convinces him to do a 10 episode limited tv series, I would love to see him run wild with backstories and character development.
    Reading through this thread to see what people thought about the OUATIH. Tarantino has confirmed that he is writing a TV Series for Bounty Law and that he has already written the first five episodes.

    I think it is well done, even if you don't like cars or racing.  I love cars, but I am not a gearhead, if that makes sense.  I know jack crap about how they work, but they fascinate me.  And, I think it would be fun to be a rally race driver, but I have zero talent.

    It's a bit jarring trying to get into Sandler as that character. The one thing I will say about it is that it maintained a solid level of suspense throughout, and my constant frustration is evidence that they were able to draw an emotional response from me.

    Also, although it isn’t some huge budget sci-fi film I have a hard time imagining plopping down on the couch after watching it in the theatre. Also, there is no way I am seeing that movie again it almost gave me a heart attack and it is definitely designed to make you uncomfortable.

    It was ok, but the story is so rough ridin' good that I think it could’ve been better. They also didn’t get interviews with a few people that would’ve been very helpful to understanding the story and some of the interviews didnt add much to the story. I won’t say too much more because I do think people should watch it just because the actual story is so good.

    Thank you Tom for the heads up. $7.99 was a bargain to own the killdozer movie ($6.99 rental)

    Finally saw Black Panther on Friday, lol. It was aight.

    Saw Uncut Gems and #myguy KG on Saturday. I had a hard time seeing Sandler as a dramatic actor, but the movie was good, and I'm happy with my guy although I'm guessing nearly all of his lines were improvised. Can we also talk about Julia Fox for a second, good lord. Was is EMAPE who coined the term "blessed white girl?" Fox retired that tag, it's all hers forever and ever.

    Black panther—- I almost typed up about 5,000 words on how killmonger was the hero. Interested to know your take.

    Uncut gems!—could you get past it with Sandler? I thought he was brilliant! Mike Francesca as the bookie was inspired. Julia Fox Instagram is a thing.

    Franscesca was really good, wish he had a bigger part.

    WARNING Black Panther spoilers ahead
    Lol, probally don't need that, isn't the movie like 2.5 years old?
    So, killmonger. Yes, essentially he was the hero in his intent. I think that's why they went so over the top with him being such a rough ridin' dickhead, including how adult killmonger was introduced. No, they shouldn't have hoarded the vibranium, and yes, he ultimately helped them to realize that they were wrong for doing so, it's why the UN scene at the end was necessary. However, him method of leadership would have eventually led to the ruin of civilization and almost certainly would have allowed vibranium to get into the hands of "colonizers," which of course would have lessened it's effect for all the black folks that killmonger wanted to help. I don't know crap about comic books so I'm sure people know the essence of what the sequel will be, but I don't. I'm guessing and hoping it centers on killmonger being in the city of the dead.

    It's really hard for me to rate Uncut Gems as a movie because I view it more as an experience for everyone. But like KK, I have a really hard time imagining myself watching it again. Similar to Requiem for a Dream, I suppose.

    I really don’t like superhero movies in general and never read comics other than a few x-men growing up so I mostly avoid it but I thought black panther had the potential to be really good and as the genre goes was much better than most of them.

    I did like into the spider verse tho for similar reasons because it mostly wast a “super hero” movie in the traditional sense.

    Midway - I liked it. I like history and war movies and taught American History for a long time so I enjoy new depictions of events I've studied.  I think my wife only kind of liked it but pretended to like it a lot for me.

    Single book, and it’s a very loose adaptation. But both the movie and book are fantastic in different ways. The movie should have sucked with those mainly b-list actors, and yet the campiness just works perfectly.

I guess I can understand the use of these techniques regarding potentially radicalized domestic terrorists, but it just didn't sit right with me that the government would goad someone into unknowingly committing a non-violent crime (fraud) and then proclaiming, "We've uncovered massive fraud!"  Was the FBI just bored, or what?

    I buy into what Dawkins hinted at without essentially doing so and it was the FBI's intent to get the coaches, but the NCAA got to the southern district. Joon Kim talked cash crap during that press conference, then they did absolutely nothing. There is no way they only have Wade and Miller on wiretaps.

    Melancholia: Lotta big names. Critics loved it. Just wasn’t my cup of tea.

    A Scanner Darkly: Can’t believe I never heard of this before. Keanu, Harrelson, RD Jr. Had some really funny moments. Overall not a great movie, tho.

    Approaching the Unknown: Considered the “twin movie” of The Martian. Very boring and not good.

    Basically, you wouldn’t be missing much if you never saw any of these.

    Richard Jewell. You know, this movie got a lotta grief from the media complaining about how biased this movie was against the media. I actually thought that Clint did a good job of making everybody look terrible: the media, the FBI, and Richard Jewell. Richard’s actions (at least as depicted by Eastwood. - I don’t know much of the underlying facts) make Jewell look suspicious as hell.

    I think the "biased against the media" part was fabricating the lady reporter sleeping her way to getting stories, which seems like a valid complaint

    The Platform on Netflix was certainly one of the most creative movies I’ve seen in a long time. And a fascinating demonstration of economic games and theories such as the Tragedy of the Commons (also might have some elements of Prisoner’s Dilemma and Public Goods Game mixed in - haven’t quite untangled where this movie’s premise best fits). I also think the varying prison sentences maybe pollute the true efficacy of the movie's premise as an economic experiment.

    It’s not perfect and has at least one gaping plot hole, but I still highly recommended.

    Without spoilers, I just thought the whole premise was too contrived, and then it was just kinda boring. And I don’t think the foreign language / subs were the reason for that. I can think of other subtitled movies I’ve really liked. To me, this is kinda like what happened with other movies (Ex Machina comes to mind), where there seem to be a lot of people who want Parasite to be a lot more profound than it actually is.

    Interestingly, after watching and really enjoying The Platform, I read that many are comparing it to Snowpiercer. I thought Snowpiercer was visually interesting, at least for a while, but had such a stupid premise that I couldn’t enjoy it. And Snowpiercer and Parasite have the same director so maybe there’s something in common there that I just don’t like.

    I think you need to see some of these movies before the hype goes on too long.  I've tried to get away from it but sometimes the hype takes away from the experience.  It seems your reviews for Ex Machina and Snowpiercer were tainted by other people's grandiose reviews.  I don't necessarily disagree with you on either of your takes, but think you would enjoy them more if you saw them without the weight of expectations on them.  I thought of Snowpiercer as an interesting concept that wasn't fully fleshed out.  That said, I think it made a great popcorn movie as great visuals and an interesting starting point is more than I get from most movies.  Being able to accept Snowpiercer as that made it a lot more enjoyable to me.

    Keep that garbage in the pit, please. Plenty of people interpreted The Platform as a narrative on class divsions also. I liked it. The Hunger Games is about class. I liked it (the first one). Gattaca, class, loved it. I could name more. I don't care how people interpret movies - I only care whether the movie is enjoyable or interesting. Parasite was neither. If you liked it or took away something meaningful, bully for you.

    Netflix's Okja. Man I really wanted to like this. Fun premise. Great actors. Tilda Swinton being all Tilda. Wacky Jake Gyllenhaal (jeez that name is hard to spell right). But the movie just... wasn't... good. Not bad, per se. Just, so, so meh. I mean how do you make a movie about GMO'd super pigs in a dystopian future, get a bunch of fun actors, and arrive at such a muddled mess of a meh? Oh look, it's another Bong Joon-ho movie.

    Netflix's How it Ends. Critics warned me this movie sucked. Critics were right. That's one for the critics.

    Well, sure they were fan service. But that alone does not a bad movie make. Force Awakens was well packaged and enjoyable, which makes it the “best” of this trilogy to me. Last Jedi’s plotting was a train wreck. The final act was strong but that doesn’t redeem the movie.

    Star Wars Rise of Skywalker was horrible. abominable.

    looks tremendous to this fan of the star wars genre, are you saying i shouldn't watch it?

    If you like most Star Wars movies, you will probably also like Rise of Skywalker.

    if you like horrible plots (i admit this may subjective) and enjoy criminally negligent storytelling resulting in death (objective truth) then this is the movie for you.

    That is true for most Star Wars movies.

    Mute (Netlfix). Not a great story. Sometimes kinda confusing. But Paul Rudd was terrific. And holy crap this movie is set in the same universe as Moon!! The 5 second cameo of Astronauts Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) in the courtroom on the news made Mute worth watching. And if you haven't watched Moon, watch Moon.

    The Titan (Netflix). Decent. Worth watching even if it does get pretty goofy at the end.

    I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore (Netlix). Pretty good. Worth watching.

    On Amazon Prime along with the rest of all the SXSW film festival releases which is pretty cool.

    An  interesting doc about 4chan/twitter incels. One of them comes across as very smart and somewhat likable, one is basically a real life version of the little miss sunshine brother that is really into Nietzsche. One of them is a racist sad Texan that kind of lumbers around drinking and seems like he could be saved and the other 3 seem completely irredeemable and awful.

    It is pretty well done and I listened to a podcast about kantbot and he is a definite extremist weirdo AnCap, but also interesting and well read.

    Had to look ymmv up. Yes, underwhelming is a great description. I went into it hoping it would guilt me into being nicer to incels when they act like jackaases online and I feel a little that way. I feel really bad for the Texas kid. Jonah Hill there in New York is insufferable. When they were discussing the dudes in Washington, I certainly they would get into why people are scared of incels with guns and the mass murders they have committed, but nope. If you weren't aware that incels were responsible for a healthy amount of mass murders including the shootings at Virginia Tech, Isla Vista, and the Toronto truck guy, you wouldn't have any idea what the big deal was.


    Anyway because I like kat kid I'm going to give him a chance to make it up to me, so I'm going straight into American Factory.

    I found “tfw no gf” pretty informative about what some of these guys lives are actually like. I thought it was pretty interesting because all of the guys seemed very sincere when talking to the cameras while their entire persona online was about Irony and Shitposting.

    I did listen to a podcast interview with kantbot, the NYC guy, so I may have conflated some of the things he said in the interview with the things he said on camera.

    Sorry for the bad rec. American factory will redeem me.

    That's a great point about the differences in persona, however I think we all suspected their in person personas were vastly different than how they behave online, for me it's a large part of my frustration with incels and millennial online behavior in general. There's a new acceptance that you should be able to say things and behave in a manner in which you normally wouldn't, online life has a completely different set of morals and standards, and I couldn't disagree more.

    American Factory, wow! So many layers to this doc, it really deserves its own thread. I don't think I've ever had such an insight to Chinese culture and that was the most compelling part of this documentary. I really despise the chairman of this company. I tried to give him a bit of slack with his behavior to cultural differences, but I couldn't. The guy is simply a money grubbing, stingy, dirtbag, he's an bad person in any culture.

    Finally watched parasite and it was awesome. I've only seen two of the movies that were award candidates for 2019, this and The Irishman, and parasite was far more compelling than The Irishman. There was a pit in my stomach the entire second half of the movie and I still couldn't believe how things went down. My one complaint is the last 3-5 minutes were kind of botched.

    Of the last 10 best picture winners I've seen
    Green Book
    Moonlight
    12 Years A Slave
    Argo
    The King's Speech
    I think it was better than all of them other than Argo or The King's Speech

    The entire premise was dogshit and that equally dogshit ending is what that steaming pile of dogshit deserved.

    It first and foremost was an utterly unbelievable boxing movie, which is okay because a lot of boxing movies are bad. However, this didn't have anything redeeming to make up for the bad boxing and ridiculously improbable story. It wasn't entertaining and didn't try to be, it wasn't funny and didn't try to be. It tried to be an artsy boxing movie, and it failed, bigly. The way she got paralyzed was gratuitous, no way that could have happened, her getting hit by a falling piece of space junk was more probable. Then this woman, this supposedly driven athlete, with 2/3 of her life ahead of her, has no will to fight or live at all, then this dude just shuts off her ventilator then she instantly just falls asleep, it's preposterous.

    This sack of crap beat Ray and Sideways for best picture in 2005, what a rough ridin' debacle.

    Women's sports movies as a genre are pathetic, the only great one is A League of their Own. Bring it On and Love and Basketball are also good, if those two even count. Hopefully the 2020's is a good decade for women's sports movies.

    Uncut Gems - 6/7 it's been years since i've seen a movie that when it ended, i still thought there was like an hour left. idk how they kept up that amazing pace

    Joker - 5/7 i don't really have anything to add that hasn't already been said

    '71 - 7/7 small fictional story set in the midst of The Troubles that is just a pretty flawlessly made movie. some shocking scenes that were not overplayed

    White Boy Rick - 5/7 this movie has been made a million times before, but the quirk with this one is the protag is like 15 years old (and still in prison irl!)

    I'm with waks. The ideological project of Braveheart is to valorize both Wallace and the oscar as Scottish national heroes. This is done in the crudest possible way. The screenplay says repeatedly that thinking is more important than fighting, yet problems are always met with muscle-power in the movie, which wallows in violence and vengeance every chance it gets. In the absence of satisfying moral dilemmas, Braveheart is an action film with an unhappy ending rather than the tragedy it would like to be. It's sad that Paramount Pictures, which has many gay employees, has stooped to release such a flawed work of bigotry and forced them to stand behind it.

    Schindler's List for the first time lastnight.  Good picture.

    I also watched the Squid and the Whale a couple of nights ago and really liked it.  Jeff Daniels has some dynamite lines.

    Great pic, I'll never watch it again. I saw it in a movie theater in Colorado Springs on a high school trip. I was amazed at the audible reactions to everyone in the theater. Incidentally we got snowed in the theater, in a mall and got to watch The Ref for free, that isn't a great pic.

    Eight Men Out (1988) starring, among others, young John Cusack and Charlie Sheen. The story of the Black Sox scandal of 1919. Pretty good, if you're into old timey baseball movies. Also features the line "Say it ain't so, Joe!" (Boy, to "Shoeless" Joe Jackson).

    Weirdly enough I also watched Groundhog Day for the first time right when lockdowns began cause I finally needed to. Totally agree.

    Also, I'm sure it's probably due to the first viewing of it, but I was always impressed with the ability to show the same scene but with Bill's character acting differently throughout it, that had to be a real difficult thing to do for the other actors/Ramis to pull off cinematically. I know they did a lot of tricks to allow for that, but still, top notch.

    the lifeless, dull mediocrity that is EM and Arrival, but you've got the same basic "dumb people think this movie is really profound when it really isn't" vibe to them.

    Critics raved over this movie. It wasn't insightful, thoughtful, profound, or any of the other glowing adjectives affixed to it. SPOILER ALERT!! Tony Stark make an AI robot that's super hawt. Dweeb wants to have sex with super hawt AI robot. Turns out (gasp), super hawt AI robot doesn't really care about having sex, but figures out it can use Dweeb's horniness to escape, because of its AI made by Tony Stark. That's the entire plot of Ex Machina. The dialogue wasn't memorable. The acting wasn't memorable (except the dance scene). /Spoilers.

    Granted, part of the problem was my expectations going in. If I had gone in cold I expect I would have concluded "eh, that was ok." But based on the glowing reviews I left the movie thinking "WTF is wrong with all these clowns?"


    if you're a dumbass who enjoys movies like Ex Machina that make you feel smart by pretending to be way more profound than they actually are, you'll like Arrival.

    To me, this is kinda like what happened with other movies (Ex Machina comes to mind), where there seem to be a lot of people who want Parasite to be a lot more profound than it actually is.

    Jurassic Park (1993) - still great. you know when sam neill fumbles with the two "female" seat belt ends in the helicopter at the beginning, but is still able to make it work? amazing foreshadowing.  :eek:

    A Bridge Too Far (1977) - straightforward and extremely long re-enactment of operation market garden. some hilariously bad appearances (gene hackman as a polish general wtf; ryan o'neal is also lol) and some v good ones (james caan, anthony hopkins). the war stuff like explosions and 70s gunshot sounds got to be very monotonous, but there are some cool scenes like the massive paratroop drop that make it worth a watch. it could have been a lot more interesting.

    Frost/Nixon (2008) - pretty good considering it's just about a series of interviews. rebecca hall continues to completely smoke, michael sheen gets to be the protag, and sam rockwell is awesome as usual.

    SAME!  I could watch hours of programming just about the shenanigans of a time loop.  I've always thought to myself, "you should just write a sitcom about the mumped up crap you'd do if you were in a time loop."  No point to it. Just endless fuckery.

    not exactly a movie but finally watched Hamilton. as good as advertised, just incredible.
    It was about an hour too long and oh God the dancing was cringey. Second act much better than the first. Daveed Diggs was the star.
    Diggs was the stand out but Groff/the king had the best parts. v funny.

    I watched a movie called waiting for the barbarians and it was super weird/creepy

    It has Johnny dell, Robert Pattinson, and the old man from Dunkirk .  I really liked it. Based on a novel but played like a short story of that makes sense.

    Amaze is a stretch but it's good. The makeup person should have won an Oscar because they made Jessica Chastain look just like Molly Bloom and they don't look alike at all. Also that ice skating scene was cheesy a.f. but it was relatively accurate.

    The potential cringy rap is why I was not going to go out of my way to see Hamilton, but when it was included in my season tickets, it was inevitable. It was cringe in some places, but not as pervasive as I thought it would be. You're 100% right about the second act being much better than the first.

    He has a movie called Blindspotting out that's supposed to be pretty good (and set in Oakland :gocho:). I was gonna watch it but it was only on HBO on my fire TV for some reason.

    I found a nice hack on YouTube on how to get HBO Max on Firestick.

    I didn't like Sports Night, I'm sure I would now. I never watched The West Wing or The Newsroom. Not sure why I never watched The Newsroom, seems right up my alley, but the fact that it was only two seasons long isn't convincing.

    His dialogue is too fast for me. I don't think I'm watching a conversation, I think I'm watching something Sorkin wrote because there's not enough space between one character finishing talking and the next starting to talk. Like it would be impossible for the second character to process and respond in the amount of time given.

    Gilmore girls actually has very similar dialogue. And I enjoyed social network.

    Post by: DQ12 on August 12, 2020, 12:22:05 PM
    Yeah.  Sorkin definitely has a particular style that can turn people off.  It doesn't really bother me.

    I really like The West Wing.  The insane dialogue be explained away with "these people are the smartest and best communicators in the world."

    Finally watching Alpha Dog (Netflix). Lots of late 90s/early 00s nostalgia. Never thought I’d be rooting for a Jewish fake nazi to whoop some ass.

    Edit: enjoying immensely

    Edit 2: eff what a dark turn. Not enjoying

    Edit 3: what a buzzkill, and was the Sharon Stone fatsuit really necessary?

    Edit 4: what a terrible story. Decently made movie, but why in the world make a movie about such a crap incident. Woof.

    The twitter bot hysteria about Cuties led me to watch it tonight. Of course the yelling about over sexualation of the actors in the movie, was absolutely ridiculous and I have very serious questions for anyone who actually watched this movie and that's what they came away with. Anyway, I talk more about that stuff in the pit.

    The movie is about an 11 year old Senegalese girl from a conservative Islamic family, living in Paris, dealing with her adolescence, full stop. There are times when the filmmaker exaggerates what's happening in the kids lives, but that has happened in every movie with or about kids ever made. This movie is reminds me of Good Boys and Mean Girls without the funny and Moonlight. It was okay, the cinematography is good, despite the bad dubbing, it's a French film. I'll recommend my wife and daughter watch it together, but I won't watch it again. It's heavy at times and not at all entertaining. I had to watch an episode of Cobra Kai before I went to sleep because Cuties put me in kind of a dark place.

    His dialogue is too fast for me. I don't think I'm watching a conversation, I think I'm watching something Sorkin wrote because there's not enough space between one character finishing talking and the next starting to talk. Like it would be impossible for the second character to process and respond in the amount of time given.

    Gilmore girls actually has very similar dialogue. And I enjoyed social network.

    All of the Cuties stuff I have seen doesn't look any worse than the outfits little girls in dance and twirling teams wear to every fall festival in every small town in America every year. It's disturbing and always has been, but the outrage about the movie is over the top and ridiculous.

    It isn't. There is one scene towards the end of the movie where these girls are inappropriately twerking and it's over the top, but it's supposed to be, that's the point. The people watching these girls twerk in this dance contest are visibly disgusted.

    I think the people who say this glorifies children and sex are just telling on themselves.

My head was already spinning because of how crazy the concept is, and then trying to follow the storyline on top of this crazy world Nolan built was overwhelming. Will watch again because of how much is revealed towards the middle and end of the movie, but hot damn. Still fun as eff just for the visuals and concept.

    Is there a movie scene that automatically puts a lump in your throat? I don’t get emotional with movies, with one exception & it’s ridiculous. The only scene that does it to me is in what’s basically a Nintendo commercial.

    Tonight I watched clips of The Wizard. At the end, when they’re in the dinosaur kills me every time. When Beau Bridges realizes what Jimmy’s doing, starts to tear up, and tells Jimmy “Come on” & hugs him it’s an instant lump in the throat for me.

    I cry a lot, so there's plenty. But there's a scene in Smashed that gets me every....rough ridin'....time.
    Not just lump in my throat, but full on bawling.

    There's another (new) movie that I've seen over 10 times now and I still cry like a baby during a couple (A COUPLE!) scenes. I don't want to reveal it because it isn't marketed as a cryworthy movie, and I think that's what's powerful about it. But if anyone doesn't care about spoilers and/or wants to watch a cryworthy movie, message me and I'll let you know. I'm just a huge fan of walking into movies without knowing what to expect. As in, I don't even watch trailers if I can help it.

    The Devil all the time on Netflix is a crazy ride and i recommend it. It reminds me of a tarantino movie with how it jumps around and the movie keeps you guessing. Also the movie is definitely not for young emaws as it is quite graphic and has a few things going on that i didn't necessarily sign up for but you could see where it was going anyway.

    I'd give the movie a 6/7 popcorn buckets as it is weird as frick and tells a daunting story but the end is very satisfying.

    High Flying Bird -- Documents an agent's struggle to end an NBA lockout over the course of a few days.  Directed by Steven Soderbergh and shot entirely by iPhone.

    I would not recommend this movie.

    My wife tried to get our family to watch this together and the pre-teen and teen were like thanks but no thanks.  I kinda wanted to see this too, so I was a bit disappointed.

    I couldn't watch the fertility dance, I knew exactly what they were going to do too. It was similar to me in shock value to the Oklahoma City hotel scene in the first movie. The rest of the debutante dance was great though, the daughter getting pissed at her dad.  :ROFL:

    The synagogue scene was set up, either that or it was so obvious what was going on that was only going to be the result. Either that woman was mic'ed up or they came in with him dressed like that with a camera and sound crew.

    The plastic surgery scene, the babysitter, and the quarantine were also all 100% set ups.

    Caught a little bit of Midway tonight. Looked good. I'll let you know how it is after I watch the whole thing this weekend.

    I apparently sat down and watched more than I had realized. I like war movies and this was a good one, but not a great one. 5/7

    I probably didn't like it as much as you but agree with the unique movie aspect.  If a movie can do something that I haven't seen a dozen times, I'm typically pretty satisfied at the end of it.

    Is The Santa Clause a Christmas movie or is it a commentary on the pitfalls of climbing the corporate ladder, societal pressure to stay thin, and the poor treatment fathers get from divorce judges, that only happens to take place during the Christmas season?

    I think its something bigger than that...I think it was a special time called the 90s where disney movie execs were like "holy crap this Tim Allen guy is a star! lets just like, put him in everything!" and then bam you've got toy story, you've got the santa clause, you've got jungle to jungle, you've got for richer or poorer and i mean to his credit he's a fine actor and did fine in those films but at some point i think they were just sitting around asking themselves "what can we put tim allen in?" what a time to be alive

    Bad Santa is one of the best comedies of all time and the best Christmas movie.
    yes it's great.  it's crazy billy bob hasn't done way more comedies

    I don't think I've ever laughed harder than i did when watching Bad Santa the first time. So great.

    Completely agree. That first season of Fargo, to me, was so good because I found myself just laughing my ass off at Billy Bob, or just watching mesmerized at his performance.

    I may or may not have made this point last year too but The Gremlins is the most underrated Christmas movie OAT.

    almost watched it yesterday. it's been thirty years. is it just funny or what? i barely remember it.

    Funny but not hilarious, a little scary but not frightening or gory. It's entertaining and moves very fast, doesn't drag at all. The beginning is kinda 80's politically incorrect but it's funny to see how relic'y it is. I'm pretty sure your kids are around the same age as mine, watch it with them.

    "Small Towns Big Kansas." on Prime. I only made it through two towns before I quit watching. I liked that the grain elevator was the highlight of each town. But my favorite part was the narrator's extremely Kansas dialect. Like, "People seemta take a lotta pride in ther yard an stuff herein Culver."

    Watched 'Soul' on Christmas Day with the family.  Many Pixar films like Inside Out, Toy Story 3, Up, Coco, etc. have packed quite the emotional punch for me.  And I was expecting the same from 'Soul' given its premise... but this one fell short. I just didn't connect with it like those others.  It wasn't bad, great animation, very imaginative, often funny, just not what I was expecting.  I rate it as better than 9 previous Pixar movies and therefore 14th out of 23 in the Pixar canon.

    Give it a watch on Disney+.  Unlike recent new releases like Mulan (which charged $20 for the first few months) 'Soul' is free to watch with your Disney+ subscription.  #DisneyPlus #WhereDreamsComeTrue

    Did they seriously feature Culver, KS? Hope that no meth labs exploded while they were in town. I’ve been doing some reading about dialects lately. I can’t figure out what is with the “Midwest rural poor” accent. Seems to take some cues from southern accents. Very different from typical Midwest weatherman accent.

    I was fascinated by how this dude talked. Not only the accent, but also things like phrasing and cadence. I recogized some of it in myself. I agree that there are sometimes hints of Southern accent. Other times, there are hints of more northern states like SD and MN. Crazy!

    one time as a kid i went to barnacle bill's and went down one of those tube slides and my heel hit one of the rivets holding the sections together (why the rivets were on the inside instead of the outside i'm not sure...seems like really bad slide design) anyway it just felt like a bump at the time and i didn't think anything of it and when it got to the bottom and started walking out some lady came up to me and told me my foot was bleeding and i looked down and my foot is just gushing blood all over the place and then i kinda had a meltdown after that. Never went on that slide again.

    These docs are made by the same filmmaker. The towns are basically all the towns around where I grew up in North Central Kansas. They crap on my hometown, which is the best in the region. Prob out of jealousy tbh.  I’m guessing the filmmaker lives somewhere around Barnard.

    @licknecky prob knows him.

    I did a full review on each (I think) of his films this summer itt.

    Not gonna search it, but I did a review

    old Dune had some insanely bad special effects, but also was good.
    It was made in 1984. What'd you expect? :dunno:

    Alien was made in 1979, now obviously that is one of the best of all-time but it didn't have to be that way.  I actually loved the physical effects and makeup and costumes in Dune, but some of the stuff was just dumb.

    So I watched The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia today. I went from :ROFL: at hillbilly culture to  :cry: at substance abuse and I felt bad for watching it and that it was made. I think it was the first time I've watched a movie and felt like I was actually contributing to someone being exploited even though the doc was filmed 13 years ago.

    Escape from New York 3.5/7

    This movie was released in 1981 and Kurt Russell is the lead. Manhattan Island is a prison and the president's plane is hijacked and taken there. All of that had my attention, but the fight scenes are really bad.

    While watching this movie I wondered if it influenced Mad Max or vice versa. Mad Max 2 came out the same year.

    This was a "documentary" that was auto recommended to me. "Greatest Wealth Creation Event in History" sounded intriguing. It's nothing but a long, well produced infomercial for how awesome it is to live in China these days and how profitable it is to do business there. I don't know how it could be anything other than Chinese propaganda. Lol.

    Just watched Action Jackson for the first time and it is a very fun 80’s action movie. It was as bad/hilarious as hoped and it appears to be where Michael Bay took most of his inspiration. Carl Weathers, Craig T Wilson,  Vanity, Sharon Stone and Argyle

    I was pretty pak’d, probably a 4/7 on that scale, but I pretty much stand by it.  But I laughed out loud more times watching this than a lot of comedy specials.  Make no mistake, it isn’t a “good” movie, but I had a lot of fun watching it. I’ll revise my rating to a mere 6.2/7.

    Watched Diamonds are Forever last night (had seen most of it but turned it off when my kid fell asleep previously)

    I would say it is not one of my favorite bond movies, just gets kind of boring and tedious.  One of the best intro songs obviously and some pretty funny villains but not as good as the elite Connery bonds and not as funny/good as the best Roger Moore movies.

    My best semi-hot Bond take-  Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond.

    GoldenEye was awesome. However, I don't know how much we can attribute to Pierce Brosnan.

    I should crosspost this with the Shame Yourself thread, but I don't think I've watched Tomorrow Never Dies or The World Is Not Enough. I've seen all of the Daniel Craig bond movies and they're great. I've only seen one or two with Sean Connery.

    Oh, I thought you meant "live action" in the same way Disney made a "live action" Lion King. They would still need to animate the toys. Can't make real people look realistic enough.

    2 is packed full of good stuff. Bud, Elle, Pai Mei, Bill. I feel like not much happens in 1 by comparison.

    2 is probably my 3rd favorite after Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. I know that's weird. I think everything after KB2 kinda sucks.

    Had a Chadwick Bozeman mini marathon last night, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods.

    21 Bridges was not what I expected. I thought it would be a suspenseful drama, but it was a formulaic cop shoot em' up, very meh.

    Da 5 Bloods was pretty dece, not really a Chadwick Bozeman movie though. If you're a fan of The Wire, there is a fantastic Easter Egg that makes the movie completely worth it even if you think the rest of the movie is trash, which it isn't. It's a buddy movie and a Vietnam War movie told from the perspective of black veterans. It's amazing that this is the only Vietnam War movie that doesn't completely ignore the existence of black people given how many black men fought in that war.

    i watched this and thought it was kind of a let down. out of the 3 people they chose 2 of them weren't even interested in participating in their experiment. the one who did participate seemed to look down and talk crap on influencers all while doing the same thing and capitalizing on it. it felt like the pandemic ruined their idea of the documentary and they kind of scrapped together an alternate ending.

Will watch again because of how much is revealed towards the middle and end of the movie, but hot damn. Still fun as eff just for the visuals and concept.

    The Semmi character wasn't really visible in Coming To America either once they got to Queens. Other than the bar scene, the only other Semmi scene was him in the hot tub in the apartment when the king shows up. Arsenio's contribution was with the My-T-Sharp crew.

    Also watched Coming 2 America yesterday - overall pretty meh and sort of a disappointment.  It had a handful of laughs and in fact I literally LOL'd when the girl was still barking and jumping on one leg.  Arsenio was basically non-existent in this and didn't have the same magic/chemistry with Eddie from the original movie.  Wesley Snipes was very good though!

    The Semmi character wasn't really visible in Coming To America either once they got to Queens. Other than the bar scene, the only other Semmi scene was him in the hot tub in the apartment when the king shows up. Arsenio's contribution was with the My-T-Sharp crew.

    It was fine, they hit the funeral and the barber shop out of the park!!!

    O my yes, both scenes were still top notch.

    I overall enjoyed it, I know the premise of the first one is fairly sped up (finding a wife in 30 days) but that was really the overall "issue" if there was one with Coming 2 America, it was all incredibly convenient plot devices to make the story go forward, from how he had a son, to finding him, to getting him back to be prince, to his eldest daughter getting over her essential birthright being stolen from her to him, to getting it back, all of it was, rushed, but I also "get" it.

    I also enjoyed the direct joke at making fun of hollywood, and remaking movies 30 years after the fact, and when no one asked for it either, which I thought was a great jab at itself, and I think in general really what made the movie work, it was made to be entertaining and fun, and it did not take itself too seriously. Lots of great cameos/featured people, expected (and proper) throwbacks to the original (even getting the whole Randolph and Mortimer pseudo in the mix), and also being something that definitely "fit" with a continuation of a story 30 years later. Everyone looked as you'd expect after 30 years, acted as you thought they would, etc, made it feel more natural. It's not the best movie, or the best sequel to anything, but it did enough to be fun, entertaining, and worthy enough sequel.

    Yeah, honestly I liked it but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit underwhelmed. Then I remembered, like Coming To America, this comedy is one that will almost assuredly get more funny easy time you see it.

    It is certainly too late for this but I wish sometime in the last 30+ years that the My-T-Sharp guys had their own movie. That would have been funnier than Barbershop.

    Yeah, I have it in the tv thread, it's a scandal that he didn't end up in jail. There's a conversation in there but I think some people chiming in hasn't seen the doc. The detail is shocking and honestly he isn't any better than the most horrific child predators you might see on the news and dude makes movies bragging about being a child molester.

    What did you feel like she did wrong? You should be able to trust your world famous boyfriend to hang out with your kids without him molesting his own daughter and grooming your adopted daughter. When she found out she immediately dumped him and went public.

    They haven't talked about this a whole lot, but I feel really sorry for Ronan, I can't imagine how much therapy he needed, essentially rejected by his father at birth because he didn't have a vagina.

    She already had some doubts / weird stuff to the point he wasn’t supposed to be alone with her. 

    I think the general household of that many kids and the seemingly at a whim adoptions just weirded me out on its own, but then the guy you are on a date with says “I hate kids, I want nothing to do with them.” It is just red flag city USA

    i'm kinda with KK on this one like all the incredibly bizarre behavior toward/treatment of Dylan from like ages 2-7...i mean i realize there are other factors that cloud peoples' judgment but i'd like to think something that outlandish would mean hypervigilance on the part of Mia Farrow, at least until Woody had proven it was all innocent (which he didnt). But i was getting the sense that his relationship with Soon Yi wasn't as overt...like yeah he would take her to Knicks games but i'm not sure he was like, totally obsessed with her like he was with Dylan.

    And yes MIR i agree about Ronan that was the first thing I thought when they started getting into his story. I mean i was pretty open with my friends and family about how much I wanted to have a boy, and of course we had a girl, but i love her with every fiber of my being and i cannot even fathom not loving your child just because they were not the sex you were hoping for.

    Y'all really need to watch the documentary. Ronan was born 20 years after Mia and Frank divorced. The doc didn't say, but heavily assumed that Ronan was Woody's son but Woody wanted nothing to do with him. When they discussed it on the doc, she talked about Woody essentially ignoring Ronan, but it was posed as "I told you I didn't want a kid" and not "this kid is someone else's."

    I did read at one time she did Ronan could be Frank's since they "never really broke up," but that was dismissed as being a joke. This was never presented as a possibility in the doc and I only heard about it because y'all keep acting like it's common knowledge or some crap.

    Just watched episode 3.

    1. Woody Allen is in danger of being harmed by someone in public, in broad daylight. His crimes were heinous. If I lived in NYC and saw him I can't say I wouldn't beat his ass and I'm mentally stable. We will never see him in public again not in handcuffs or a gurney.
    2. It was interesting seeing this while having the conversation about Ronan. In the first episode Mia made it seem like Woody wanted nothing to do with Ronan, but this episode is filled with videos of Woody, Ronan, and Dylan and of course Woody tried to gain custody of them. It's very obvious that Woody thought Ronan was his kid.

    3. Bucket, I don't think that the episode did a good job in explaining why he never got charged, if anything I have many more questions. Why did they leave all of that evidence just sitting, untouched, for decades? Were the detectives in two different states just that scared of the dirt that Woody would drag up on them?

    BTW, there is an accompanying podcast with this show. On the latest episode they do talk about why Mia adopted and birthed so many kids.

    It didn't, but they made it sound like Woody had better connections and more star power at the time of the scandal. Those things combined, higher ups silenced people working the case or slanted it in his favor. I didn't pay attention very well for episode three so I just ran with NYC and that clinic that interviewed Dylan multiple times were corrupt.

    Yeah I can see that.  I usually don't like over stylized movies and often refer to them as "art house trash".  I think the main difference for me on Jojo was that it was funny to me.  I laughed out loud more times during this movie than any movie I can remember over the last several years.

    Pitch Perfect (3.5/7) - not my type of movie but it was worth watching. I even found myself enjoying some of the songs.

    Blade Runner 2049 (4/7) - I didn't enjoy the story line that much. What I enjoyed the most was Ryan Gosling playing a new role, for him. I thought he was great. Was I supposed to watch the original Blade Runner before this one or something? I've seen it but it has been a while.

    Three Kings - 3/7

    I was pretty dissappointed with this movie because I was really looking forward to it and it didn't deliver. It came out in 1999 and it has George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Jamie Kennedy, and I had no recollection of it whatsoever. They're in Iraq for Desert Storm and they go looking for Saddam's hidden treasure immediately after the war ends.

    I've never really been around them, but monkeys seem like little fuckers who steal your chips and smokes.  go away!

    Your iguana would steal your smokes, too, if it's tiny rough ridin' bird brain could figure out how to smoke them. Team Kong.

    Kong was likely nurtured by a loving mammalian mother, just like us.  Godzilla was likely cast off into the uncaring world by an even less caring reptilian reproducing female. I suppose we should feel sorry for Godzilla for never knowing what it means to be a warm blooded loving member of this planet.  So, if you are into sympathizing with sociopaths, Team Godzilla seems to be the right team to be on.

    That's a great point, Pete. The only reason Godzilla even exists is because his mother forgot to go back and eat him after he hatched.

    Just finished Kong V Godzilla on HBO Max. First off as a little kid who was obsessed with Godzilla and have seen all of the Japanese movies and all of the Kong movies (Peter Jacksons Kong is still a masterpiece) This movie is incredible, they made all the right moves. Very fun and wish i had the pleasure to see it in a theater.

    I will watch. I will do my best to enjoy it (part of that is lowering my expectations, as I'm already doing). It's a tough row to hoe to reboot a movie that became a cultural phenomenon staring the then-most-famous athlete in the world. I hope they took some artistic risks (and to be fair, it does appear they did). Not sure how I feel about cartoon Lebron though.

    Godzilla VS Kong.  I've watched it 3 times now.  Once by myself on opening night, once with my wife, and once with the kids.  Kids loved it, wife even liked it!  [SPOILERS] She was happy that both monsters were just like "we don't agree on a lot of issues but let's be friends anyway" in the end.  That's a great life lesson for this day and age.  There were some parts of the story line that confused me but it didn't matter because as soon as I was like 'wait, I'm confused' the monsters started punching each other again and I was very happy.  The movie was exactly what it should have been and I loved it.  I only wish 8 year old me could have watched it.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;)

    review: it made no sense but didn't waste time trying to explain it which I appreciated. I know there were other godzilla and king kong movies before this one that I haven't seen but I have a feeling they wouldn't have made this one make any more sense. someone feel free to tell me if that's incorrect. it's pg-13 but there are no bad words that I remember or nudity or really even people being like brutally murdered. I mean, you know a lot of them died when the building explodes or the boat goes down but you don't have monsters just ripping guts out of people or anything. it's basically just monsters ripping guts out of other monsters. PRETTY FUN! Also there's a whole ass story line within the movie that was absolutely pointless and should have been cut out! But still FUN!

    Like, a monster movie will usually have a couple of crazy things going on and you just go along with it because it's fun. For example, the fact that Godzilla exists on Earth is a crazy thing that you just go along with.

    Godzilla vs. Kong, though, is like a nonstop parade of wtf crazy crap. It's like they took all the crazy crap from three or four monster movies and crammed it into a single movie.

    I liked the stuff with the three losers who accidentally went to Hong Kong in an Elon Musk tunnel to find Mechagodzilla better than the taking spaceships to Hollow Earth to get the radioactive axe stuff.

    I mean, if you've already looked into it, and you're still interested, I say go for it. It's about what you'd expect. Pretty silly and farcical, but with a little bit of heart. By no means a "good movie," but not bad as entertainment.

    Yes, as I said, it's not a "good movie." There are worse ways _33 could spend 90 minutes though. If he is aware of the premise of the movie and the cast, and is still asking the question though, I will tepidly suggest he go for it.

    Haven’t bothered watching the teaser cause I know I’ll watch the movie at some point this weekend regardless.

    I’m sure I’ll be disappointed to some extent, but I honestly probably haven’t been more excited for a movie since Infinity War.

    Also really hoping the movie goes over well cause it feels like this could turn into a MCU type thing with all the unique characters and storylines.

    Last night I laid in bed with lots of MK thoughts.

    Like, just trying to figure out who all is in the movie because in the trailer there’s more good guys than bad guys. Are there bad guys that aren’t in the trailer? There’s no Johnny Cage, but Kano is good? I did someone mentioned as a cast member/character that’s not in the trailer. After awhile I did think “there’s no way this is as good as I’ve built up in my head.”

    I want to watch the first 7 minutes, but I’m delaying it to see the whole thing at once. I’m pumped KK said it was good. I saw someone said what it focuses on, but then I immediately closed that article before more spoilers.

    Not having seen it I’m gonna go with, no. The movie will explain whatever story you need, and kind of like comic books, MK doesn’t have a single cohesive storyline, anyway.

    I’m sure you’d enjoy it more if you have any nostalgia about the game or characters, but for that you either got it or you don’t.

    I’d say it delivered exactly what it promised. I was kinda hoping it could go the extra mile and resemble something like a MCU movie, but this felt more like a Fast & Furious type. Which honestly if they cranked one out every 1-2 years I’d be fine with.

    The Mitchells vs. The Machines (Netflix)

    the jokes and plot are better than most of this class of film

    Belle de jour (Criterion)

    some broad wants to be a french prostitute, despite being married, she succeeds.
    I don't speak French, nor understand why this is supposed to be a good movie.

    White Rock (Criterion)

    a movie about the events in the 1976 winter olympics
    It is awesome.  it features a lot of great camera work, weird 70's synth music and Peter Coburn helps explain the events and provides narration in between the extensive musical interludes with awesome shots.

    Chungking Express
    The movie starts out as a crime thriller with a completely different protagonist, but then settles on a seemingly minor character at first—A lonely hopeless romantic guy falls in love with several women, and when he is lonely and can’t talk to women, talks to expired canned food, household items and beer.  He seeks food and advice from a snack owner across the street from his favorite bar. We meet him in a random chance encounter and then start following his life.

    I really liked it, a rom-com heavy on the light hearted romance and not much comedy, but great music (some 60’s and then 90’s) and great shots.

    Tenet

    A very fun action film!  A little reminiscent of the Matrix or inception, Tenet was a bit more convoluted in terms of plot, but I think the risks pay off for the most part.  I don’t think it is all that confusing as much as I think the plot just fundamentally is not as important as the general notion plus the action.  Like do all the physics really add up?  Does not seem like it, but I think the highway chase was almost as good as the matrix (2?).

    A very fun action film!  A little reminiscent of the Matrix or inception, Tenet was a bit more convoluted in terms of plot, but I think the risks pay off for the most part.  I don’t think it is all that confusing as much as I think the plot just fundamentally is not as important as the general notion plus the action.  Like do all the physics really add up?  Does not seem like it, but I think the highway chase was almost as good as the matrix (2?).

    i would agree with this. i read a summary of the plot after i watched and was actually surprised to find out that i had pretty much tracked everything i needed to know. some of the scenes are masterpieces in terms of filmmaking.

    I thought tenet was nolans worst movie, but maybe insomnia is worse. I still liked it though and never really understood why people thought it was confusing. My biggest complaint is how boring the protagonist character is.

    Also I am now a Robert Pattinson fan.

    I agree with everyone's Tenet takes.  I think it moves at a quick enough pace and has enough pretty distractions that you don't get a chance poke holes in the time travel parts.

    Rented Nobody last night on Amazon Prime.  Very John Wick-ey which would make sense considering the writer.  Overall was a pretty good flick.

    The Learning Tree
    Written/Directed by Gordon Parks

    This movie is not good, very corny. I turned it off. I had high hopes but the first 15 minutes is so bad I couldn’t continue.

    It Started As A Joke - A documentary about the Eugene Mirman comedy festival. It intertwines how he started a comedy festival as joke with the final festival after 10 years with his wife’s terminal cancer. If you like stand up I highly recommend

    House of Games (Criterion)

    A movie about a woman who gets caught up with a group of con men. It has some great character actors and it is a great script.  I really enjoyed it.

    Normally, when I watch movies, I don't like to watch depressing things  because I use TV and movies to help me decompress. The first 45 minutes felt pretty grim but that feeling lifted toward the end of the movie. Not to give any huge spoilers but there is a scene toward the end of the movie where Fern is watching waves pound the rugged Pacific coastline and me and Mrs SSOC looked each other in the eye and were like "remember that time when we watched waves crash on the pacific coast together and we knew that as long as we were alive together everything would be okay" and all the sad from the first part of the movie was gone.

    Yeah I think the part about when she found a support group of like-minded people kinda made you feel like, "oh, well yeah everything is gonna be okay" and then the movie really began to hit its stride.

    Yeah Arrival is legit.  It's one of those movies where the visuals, score, and acting all combine to tell the story really well but also gives you a certain "feeling" that goes beyond the story.  You know?

    DARKEST HOUR - I really liked it.  I can see how some would call it 'slow', but I love history and Gary Oldman BECOMES Winston Churchill.  VERY GOOD.

    I have lots to say about this. It's corny to say, but I've kind of grown up with Bo. I'm about to go full hipster here, but I remember watching his videos on BigBoys.com (which later turned into break.com, which itself, is now dead).  This was pre-youtube.  I think I've been watching Bo do stuff for about 15 years.

    I was texting with Stevesie about it the other night.  Stevesie loved the new special. I HATED it.  Though I will say, from a technical standpoint, it's a complete triumph.  To do all that by himself in one room is absolutely insane.  He's unbelievably talented.

    But the content  -- what a bummer.  Gone are the days when Bo was making silly (but very sophisticated) raps littered with layered wordplay and shakespeare references that required a lot of listens to fully appreciate.  That is what I was in it for, man!  Now he's a Mr. Serious Pants doing his best Carlin impression, talking exclusively about how bummed out he is and how awful the world is. That's all OK and fairly red meat for comedians, but there's GOTTA be some punch lines in there too! The part that made me really decide "I don't think I really like Bo Burnham anymore" is him repeating something to the effect of "all my stupid friends are having stupid children" -- well that may be true, but guess what, dingus, I bet your stupid friends aren't all cynical and neurotic and miserable "tortured geniuses" like you. 

    I know he doesn't define himself as a "comic" anymore (which is pretty self-indulgent in its own right) but man, he's not kidding.  The special was almost totally devoid of any punchlines at all.  For an hour and a half, I could probably count the number of times I remotely chuckled on one hand.

    Maybe this would've resonated with me more if I watched it last spring when pandemic malaise was in full force, but sitting through an hour and a half of that nightmare was not fun.  It felt mostly depressing.  Just couldn't relate to almost all of it.  All that said, the reception seems to be fairly positive, both critically and by his fans (at least on his subreddit), so it's clear he's doing good work, it's just not for me anymore, which is a bummer.

    I will say, the internet song ("can i interest you in everything all of the time?") was my favorite.

    That%u2019s all a great response and take. Quick question though/devils advocate- do you make the same jokes and do the silly stuff you did with the same thoughts you had when you were 20 or whatever when you first started watching him?  I mean he%u2019s definitely a different person then he was then and I%u2019m sure you are too.

    The problem is and I think he touched on this, is that you want him to be the same monkey doing the same monkey dances and he just can%u2019t do that anymore for you. He touched on it in his last special. Don%u2019t blame you for wanting it though and I%u2019m not saying anyone should like the new special. I%u2019m still not 100% sure I did.

    It definitely wasn%u2019t funny but I don%u2019t think he wanted it to be. It%u2019s kind of a continuation from what he%u2019s done in terms of specials, but this one was definitely the biggest step. Watch them on Netflix in order and this doesn%u2019t seem that out of place especially with his mental health issues and the fact that people couldn%u2019t perform in front of live audiences for a year when he actually wanted to again. He was ready to get in front of live audiences again and then covid brought this. So yeah this was him in covid and yeah it would have resonated more if you had somehow been able to watch it during covid/7 months ago.

    Oh yeah.  I don't like, begrudge him for it or anything.  He's gone in a different direction, which is fine.  It's just not a direction I really care for all that much.  Which I guess, personally, kind of stinks, because I used to really really like him.

    Welcome to the Internet is probably the closest thing to what I like.

    No.  The "flashbacks" you see throughout the movie involving her daughter/husband are actually flash forwards.  Learning the alien language gives you the power to see/comprehend the future.  That's how the aliens knew they'd need humanity's help some day and why they made the trip to earth to share the gift/weapon/tool of their circle future language.

    There's a lot of open ended questions that remain surrounding the impact of that "gift" -- especially w/r/t what she knows her future daughter's fate is. 

    I don't know.  Neat movie.  I really loved it.

    I don't think the aliens were all that "smart," just way different in some aspects.  I can't remember if this was in the movie (or the short story, which I didn't read but did read about), but somewhere, they pointed out that the aliens were really good at calculus, but couldn't really figure out algebra.  Something to do with the idea that their basic worldview has a really hard time with "linear" stuff. 

    Maybe our sentence structures present the same kind of problem for them.

    well they were definitely smart enough to invent a language that allowed them to move through time and to build spacecrafts that looked like giant rabbit turds and travel across the galaxy safely so i'm really not sure why you would try to demean them in that way but you do you i guess.

They were smart enough to figure out how to fly the rabbit turd through space, but they still have no idea how to make a new rabbit turd because they actually are dumbasses.

    Watched The Croods 2 with the family. Sucked.  And I'm not picky and almost enjoy whatever new kids movie the major studios put out.  So then I went to rotten tomatoes to check the reviews and The Croods 2 has higher ratings than The Croods!  WTF?  Anyone else watched The Croods 2 and thought it sucked but enjoyed The Croods?

    You guys are aware that the new version drops October 1st, right? Jason Momoa and Zendaya are in it. The lead is Timothee Chalamet whose work I'm not very familiar with. I remembered him having a very small part in Hostiles after looking at his IMDB.

    timothee chalamet is always being discussed on twitter for some reason, but he was the main character in the netflix movie The King, which was p good. coincidentally that movie was the first step towards me realizing robert pattinson actually kind of rules.

    The pictures in Free Solo were amazing. I enjoyed the struggle and the crazy of Meru. I haven't seen Dawn Wall.

    My favorite climbing doc, though, is Assault on El Capitan. Some locals didn't like these outsiders who may or may not have been "cheating" to do a super difficult climb. So, the locals would do things like take dumps on their equipment in the middle of the night. Check this out:

    The story of Wings of Steel is part legend and part myth. The first ascent team spent 39 days climbing the controversial route. The result - death threats, physical assaults and a slander campaign that polarized the climbing community for over 30 years.

    Has anyone else watched Apollo 11?

    It came out in 2019. Made entirely with archival video and audio leading up to the successful moonshot. Some of the footage is this special 70mm film of the rocket being rolled out to the launch site. It is just stunning. The amount of math and physics and small little pieces of equipment involved blows my mind. Like what if they miscalculated the amount of fuel it would take to launch the astronauts off of the moon surface and those guys just got stuck  there?

    Saw Zola last night in my first trip to a movie theater in several years and it sucked, very disappointing. First of all it was only like an hour and ten minutes, but even with that run time there were times when the movie just drug along. Several shots of a like 10 second steady shot of a car driving down the street, not a chase, just a car driving. The jokes were sparse. Save your time and money and just read the tweet story again.

    Backdraft 5/7

    I saw five minutes of this movie earlier this week and I was like, "that's my Friday movie!" Cast includes Kurt Russell, Billy Baldwin, Donald Sutherland and Robert De Niro. This is a movie about two brothers (Russell and Baldwin) who are fire fighters and there's an arsonist causing havoc in Chicago. To sum it up, it's a good early 90's movie.

    The Tomorrow War 2.5 or 3/7.

    The first five minutes were the best part of this movie. It sucked which I expected from an Amazon Original. I still think it's worth watching because it had Chris Pratt and it's an alien invasion movie.

    Watched Some Kind of Heaven the other night.  It's a doc about a sprawling retirement community in Florida.  The community stuff was interesting but it also focused on a guy that started doing a lot of drugs in his old age to pass the time.  Another guy lives in his van and just pretends to be a part of the community to find an old rich woman to take care of him.  It was a fun trip seeing these archtypes that you know in your 20s trying to do it at 80.

    The first five minutes were the best part of this movie. It sucked which I expected from an Amazon Original. I still think it's worth watching because it had Chris Pratt and it's an alien invasion movie.

    This rating seems a bit low. You know, or should know, what it's going to be going in. I found it an enjoyable, mindless waste of time.

    Edit: strong father/daughter vibes, if that tugs at the ol' heartstrings for you.

    I watched this as well, and "enjoyable waste of time" seems pretty accurate to me.  If you are willing to set aside all of the "why didn't they just...." type stuff, it's fun.

    The Empty Man 3/7. I like scary movies and this was made available this weekend. The Empty Man appears in the first 10 minutes of the movie then you only see him, like, one other time over the course of the entire film. The movie isn't even really about the "Empty Man." It starts out cool but goes in a weird direction.

    Watched “Porco Rosso” on HBO Max. It is in the Studio Ghibli section and is anime. 

    I don’t watch anime but thought I would give it a try.  I see the appeal of it, it had some beautiful art and cinematography, the dialogue and the story were very specific and very heavy in cliches, a couple laugh out loud funny Japanese stereotypes that were out of place in a movie set in the pre WW2 period. And also the magical realism and obvious ham handed cliche of a pig that is a pilot. But overall enjoyable enough that I will probably watch another one.

    PIG (2021) - 6/7 - Like the animal itself, Pig defies the hogwash of expectations with a beautiful odyssey of loss and love anchored by Nicolas Cage's affectingly raw performance. Pig is fundamentally a story about the hold that memories have on us: memories of those we've lost, of dreams abandoned, of the good times (rare though they may have been). And this story seems to have reawakened Cage himself. Pivoting away from the recent eccentric outings of genre b-films, Cage reminds us of the subdued talent he has within a particular scope, taking us back to his days of "Leaving Las Vegas," "Valley Girl," and "Moonstruck."

    Point Break (1991) - 6/7 i thought this would be keanu's movie but it belongs to swayze. did you guys know this was directed by Kathryn Bigelow?? wow!

    The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021) - 2/7  :zzz:

    About Time (2013) - 5.5/7 really charming, great cast, some fun writing and chemistry.

    Mank (2020) - 4.5/7 i had just rewatched Citizen Kane so it was time to take Mank out for a test drive. It's pretty good, Oldman is great as usual and i like the way the narrative structure echoes that of CK, but overall i felt like it was missing something. idk.

    The American President (1995) - 6/7 it's fun watching a 1940s throwback style movie premise but with sorkin dialogue. the title sucks and it's clear they had no idea what to call this movie, but that has very little impact on your watching experience

    So I finally decided to watch The Godfather this past weekend.  My wife was out of town so I was bored enough on Saturday to sit for a 3 hour movie.  It was fun to watch after seeing references/parodies in lots of other movies over the years.  It was pretty good.  I'm not one to trash classic movies just to be contrarian and obviously movies lose some impact 50 years after the fact.  I'm sure in the early 70s this film was revolutionary.  One part I didn't get AT ALL was Michael Corleone going to Sicily and getting married after a few days and then she gets blown up never to be mentioned again.  What was the point of that?

    Anyway, pretty good movie, too long for me, needed to cut out that Sicily part, I can see why it made such an impact in its time.

    Yeah, in a 3 hour movie the one thing that seemed rushed was Michael's transformation.  One second he was like a normal dude, going to the movies with his girlfriend, talking about how he was nothing like his family, then the next minute he's shooting 2 dudes in the head.  I guess the attempted murder of your dad could change a person but it just didn't seem that believable.

    also the Sicily part served two purposes:

    1 - to show the NY mafia knew where he was hiding (the car bomb was meant for him)
    2 - to give Tom Hanks the "maunday tuesday tharsday wadnesday" quote from You've Got Mail (1998)

    Reminiscence 3.5/7

    I was really looking forward to this movie and it didn't meet expectations. I was excited about the movie because it looked like a futuristic, Sci-Fi movie. Ended up being an okay crime drama.

    The futuristic stuff they teased in the trailer never played much of a role in this movie.

    Horror film about big foot hunters finding big foot. It's a short movie and I think they could have easily stretched this one out a couple more days or 30 more minutes. The girl is a much better actor than the guy.

    This movie ended up being a lot more than I had anticipated. It's 2+ hours so it was able to fit it all in. Beautiful cinematography. Angelina Jolie is the main character. She loses her son, LAPD finds him a few months later except it's not her son! Takes place in the 1920's.

    A Quiet Place 2 - They should have called it 'A Quiet Place Too' because it was in a different place as the original but they still had to be quiet.  Ended very abruptly, I think the first one did too so maybe that's their thing.  I didn't care for the abrupt ending.  Although I'm a bit torn because I do like a tight 90 min movie, but I also like everything wrapped up with a bow on top at the end. Not as good as original but a nice little movie. This is about as scary a movie as my wife is willing to watch so we both thought it was pretty good.

    The Many Saints of Newark - the bar is set pretty high for anything Sopranos related and this didn't quite clear it although I don't hate it as much as some people.  As a standalone movie it doesn't do enough but if they're using it to launch more content then it's a decent starting point.

    SPOILERS










    The entire character of Junior on the original Sopranos was that he was an old man, past his prime that was slowly becoming senile as the show went on.  The writing/acting of Junior in the movie as a young man was the exact same! It was absurd!

    The use of the brothers/twins for Hollywood Moltisanti and Dicky's uncle in prison

    The scene where Dicky coaches a blind baseball team--I think it is meant to be like a dream sequence/him lying about being a good person but it plays so absurdly and I don't think it really works

    The idea that Tony would steal an ice cream truck and beat up the driver without thinking twice but then would balk at some stolen speakers

    The idea that a mob girlfriend would confess to cheating on a guy with a black guy in the 1960's is so dumb and hilarious I just burst out laughing, like what are we talking about here?!

    The entire third of the movie that deals with the Black Saints does not make much sense to me at all it literally seemed like "ah, Moltisanti---Many saints, lets get some more saints in here!"

    The scene where Tony is supposed to meet at Holsten's but Dicky gets killed was so heavy handed

    I just think there were so many "reveals" that fans of the show would see that were both beaten over the head and unsatisfying and play so badly I think the best theory is that David Chase hates fans of the show and is punishing them

    Antlers - I get horror movies not wanting to show the creature.  I'm paying for a Guillermo Del Toro horror movie though and I want to see what he came up with. Overall though, it was fine.

    Dora The Explorer live action movie. Quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever watched. Absolutely terrible. 0 out of 5.

    Jungle Cruise. Fun, ridiculous, plot is bad, anything The Rock is in I will watch. 4 out of 5.

    Jungle Cruise was meh.

    Free Guy was really bad.  VERY cringey in many places, especially where the famous video game players were on screen saying stuff.  I just can't get over how bad and unfunny it was because I usually love Ryan Reynolds.

    Also my wife and I watched FINCH on Apple TV and we both loved it.  Funny, feel-good (mostly), plenty of action, under 2 hours.  This is really my kind of movie.  If you know of any other movies like this let me know.  Go watch FINCH on Apple TV, you won't regret it.

    Belfast: great flick. Fantastic acting. Compelling story. Has a certain JoJo Rabbit vibe without the hilarity. Will probably win Best Picture. 7/7

    House of Gucci: couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Is it campy or is it serious? Lady Gaga was good in it I guess. Jared Leto's character was great. I had no prior knowledge of the story. Kind of fun if you like to see rich people do rich people things but dragged on for far too long. Shouldn't win anything. 4/7

    Spoiler Alert (kind of)

    Power of the Dog: feels like a classic Western for most of the movie and then the last ten or fifteen minutes come just completely out of nowhere. Benedict Cumberbatch is great. Todd from Breaking Bad is in it but looks like he ate another Todd from Breaking Bad. Fantastic score and cinematography. 6.5/7

    Watched "Finch" this week.  Nice, easy watching movie that you don't need to put a lot of effort into.  But for science/engineering nerds it is endlessly infuriating.  One has to suspend, like, ALL the disbelief to make the narrative work.

    But if you can get past all of the "this is something that could never happen, ever" thoughts and just kind of sit back and let it wash over you it's okay.  Filmed I believe exclusively in New Mexico it is filled with some pretty cool scenery.  Would be good to watch high...or if you are like 14 years old.

    Weird. I think the trailer made it look terrible. Then I read reviews and how Ridley Scott blamed its lack of success on millennials and cell phones and I was intrigued. Then I saw House of Gucci and decided that Ridley Scott can GTFOOMF. Now I don't know what to think!

    On another note...My Fair Lady, you guys. Great flick!

    So, I've been out of the BBS'in for a hot minute, and also going through some physical issues that haven't gotten fixed quite as quickly as I'd hoped.

    With those issues comes a LOT of time off work, and little physical ability to do much other than relax. As of last night I finally finished The Hobbit trilogy!

    Thoughts on them? 1st one had me excited, 2nd felt like a tease, and the 3rd was just kind of "meh" with the way they ended it. I admit to having not read any but the original Hobbit book decades ago, BTW.

    I've been binging movies lately. It's been a combination of a staying in and work being slow.

    I watched the first three Bourne movies. They're all pretty good but they also all seem to be the same. Maybe the fourth one with Jeremy Renner will change it up a bit.

    Speaking of Jeremy Renner, Wind River was pretty good. It wasn't as much action as I was expecting, though.

    I enjoyed The Guilty with Jake Gyllenhaal a lot more than I expected. He's a 911 call operator and receives an interesting call.

    Encounter wasn't what I was expecting. It was okay. I feel the Tomatometer score for it is about right.

    I would def finish the original, then watch the fighting-on-semi-trucks scene in the second, then skip the third.

    After you finish that, I recommend you watch Gladiator.

Recently have knocked off The Sting (great), Mutiny On The Bounty (fine), Gone With The Wind (whoa boy, problematic), Hamlet (good), and My Fair Lady (delightful). Going to have to take a break to rewatch the Matrix trilogy before I watch Resurrections. Looking forward to seeing it, West Side Story and Licorice Pizza in theaters.

    I saw it opening night because I have a certain family member who insisted this was necessary because he is a HUGE Spider-Man fan (which is true). I thought it was really good. I can't believe they pulled off that seemingly stupid plot, but they really did pull it off.

    I didn't mind it but I had pretty low expectations.  I did think it was dumb that the big Oceans Eleven "heist" in the end could've been foiled by a single security camera.

    New Ghostbusters was OK.  I didn't think it was super duper, just OK.  If you didn't cherish the original Ghostbusters, you may not love this one.

    i think i watched Killing Them Softly around when it came out ten (10!) years ago, and didn't like it that much. re-watched the other night and it's much better than i remember. i don't think i comprehended that it was a comedy on my first go-round, since it is so incredibly dark/cynical.

    The Power of the Dog: rough ridin' loved it. really really liked the entire thing and some will say the ending was predictable but i didn't see it coming and i think it was perfect.

    i'm in the middle of the The King with timothy chal-whatever guy. so far enjoyable.

    Yes. Idiocracy is an example of satire that is over the top. Don't Look Up was barely over the top, if at all. I mean, we had a president that said we should stop testing for Covid so that it would go away. That is quite similar to suggesting that you don't look up at an asteroid that is careening towards Earth in order to avoid armageddon.

    I think Don't Look Up was intended to be more over the top than it ended up being because it was written before COVID. Maybe some things were added in filming to reflect just how stupid people have been during the pandemic, though.

    Idiocracy is over the top but like, that was kinda the point of it, haven't seen Don't Look Up but from what I know of it was it's more made to be "realistic".

    That being said, Idiocracy has had many, many things that seemed ridic when it came out that now like, a little too close to being real

    Also watched Captain America Civil War, Avengers Infinity Wars and Avengers Endgame. I'm coming to the conclusion (I already knew) that I don't give AF about these movies. Endgame was pretty good I guess. :dunno:

Recently have knocked off The Sting (great), Mutiny On The Bounty (fine), Gone With The Wind (whoa boy, problematic), Hamlet (good), and My Fair Lady (delightful). Going to have to take a break to rewatch the Matrix trilogy before I watch Resurrections. Looking forward to seeing it, West Side Story and Licorice Pizza in theaters.
    Saw _West Side Story_ in the theater last night. Fantastic. Better that the original. Camera work was awesome. Tony, Maria, Anita and Riff were electrifying.

    It was ok because I love Zoe Kravitz, but in the end, I never really understood the motivation behind the bad guys.  Why was the owner of the company being blackmailed?  It maybe should have been a series where they could have dug into the characters more.  No idea what Mrs. Tom Hank's character was about.

    Cry Macho - Clint Eastwood looking every bit of his age.  Movie just as slow and feeble as he is.  Sad, because I’m a huge fan.  C

    Best Sellers - Young/old bond more convincing in this one with Michael Cain and Aubrey Plaza.  Enjoyed it.  Solid B

    i watched The Tender Bar.  Good coming of age story but formulaic. Kid has a rough childhood and still grows up to be successful.

    Just watched it a couple nights ago.  Nothing special, just a good watchable movie.

    I've heard that the book is fantastic and the movie is just ok.

    Caught a late showing of Licorice Pizza last night. Not being terribly familiar with Paul Thomas Anderson's work, outside of There Will Be Blood, I don't think I was really prepared for what I watched. That being said, I enjoyed it. It had a Once Upon A Time In Hollywood meets American Graffiti kind of vibe. Probably has a real shot at Best Original Screenplay if I was a betting man (which I am!)

    Nobody was a decent little action flick, if you want to call it that. Bob Odenkirk is the main character. I had no idea what it was about. It just came on. I think that made it more enjoyable.

    It's solid. Bob O fans will definitely enjoy, but I'm trying not to pimp it too hard so that expectations aren't out of whack. That said, it might be the greatest movie of all time.

    CODA was really good. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

    I agree.  I expected it to be pretty formulaic and it probably was but just about the best version of the formula.

    I watched Kimi on HBOMax.  I would give it 4 stars of 7.   

    It was ok because I love Zoe Kravitz, but in the end, I never really understood the motivation behind the bad guys.  Why was the owner of the company being blackmailed?  It maybe should have been a series where they could have dug into the characters more.  No idea what Mrs. Tom Hank's character was about.

    I would give it a 4.5 or 5. I assume you're like me and perform other tasks while watching movies because it seems like you missed a key scene or two in this one.

    I'd like to add that Buzz from Home Alone is in this movie.

    Moonfall - Perfect! It's basically Independence Day but much dumber and replacing the charm of Goldblum and Smith with Patrick Wilson and some rando from GoT.  It's just fantastically dumb.  The absolute dumbest.  Also, enjoyable.

    I never got tired of the moon ominously rising over some mountains.

    I watched this last night and I agree with your entire review...except where you called it enjoyable!  It's one of the worst movies I've seen in years.  It's so bad that it veered into unintentional comedy territory and even then that wasn't enough to overcome the incredible dumbness of the movie. IMHO of course.

    Phantom Thread (2017). Directed by the maestro Paul Thomas Anderson. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis in the role that brought him out of retirement, only to again retire after the movie. It's the tale of a possibly autistic dressmaker in Britain in the 1950's and the unlikely love story he becomes intertwined with. I'll be honest, most of you cretins would not appreciate such an oeuvre as this. 5/7.

The tale of one man's overweening ambition turned to greed, and his knowing descent into self-indulgent narcissism, with some righteous justice meted out on the way down. 7/7. One of my favorites.

    In cases like Dune, you need to always separate out the opinions of fan boys from casual observers.  Not that fan boys might not have good points, but they are invested in something that can never be captured in a film.

    did some oscars catchup today and finally got around to watching coda, licorice pizza, and drive my car.

    went in figuring I’d love licorice pizza because pta + coming of age is wheelhouse, but it was my least favorite of these three.  was thinking of spracs/this thread the whole time and was like “this is def no phantom thread”.  kinda a mess tbh, felt like even by pta standards he was trying to jam too much in to frankly care about too many of the subplots.  probably just too high of expectations going in.

    drive my car was by far my fave of these three, pretty long at right about 3hrs and def wasn’t in a hurry - pacing pretty slow but was even.

    Sorry to Bother You — Dystopian dark comedy starring LaKeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover, David Cross, Terry Crews, Steve Yeun and more.

    Cassius (Stanfield), broke, living in his uncle’s (Crews) garage and out of luck, applies for a job at an Oakland area call center. Eager to impress his girlfriend, and after some sage advice from a veteran co-coworker (Glover), he discovers the key to telemarketing sales.

    Cassius has finally found his calling, and even looks poised to become a mythical “power caller” who operated on the mysterious second floor of the dilapidated building. But will he focus on sales spell trouble for his relationships with his friends and girlfriend (Thompson)?

    There’s also more than meets the eye as far as the power calling is concerned — and not in a good way.

    I enjoyed it. Pretty funny. Very weird.

    The Witch, unintentionally an exploration of Calvinist theology.

    2016 might be the worst movie year of all time. There has been almost nothing worth watching since the Oscar bait left theaters

    Knight of Cups
    The Witch
    The Lobster
    Neon Demon
    Green Room
    Midnight Special
    Hunt for the Wilderpeople
    The Nice Guys

    Others?

    You like some pretty bad movies pw

    also hunt for the wilderpeople is so dang good. what a run taika went on

    Wife and I watched the movie DUNE yesterday and we thought it was great.  I didn't realize going in that it was just the first part so the end was kind of disappointing.  But it was really good, and different and just very entertaining to watch.  My only question is why that guys mom didn't use THE VOICE way more.  Like could they not find a PA system of some kind and THE VOICE all those invaders to kill themselves?

    -pretty much a failure in most every aspect of the creation of a film

    It was OK. It’s not as good as Do America, but there’s some funny stuff. I think it will be funnier on the second watch because the comedy is driven just from the absurdity of Beavis & Butthead and not laugh out loud moments.  It’s not nearly as good as a classic like Step Brothers, but it’s the same kind of thing to me.

    There’s a couple things that I laughed harder at while talking about them with my cousins than when I watched the movie.

    The Card Counter 2.5/7

    I had seen some previews for this, but I did zero research beyond that. I was happy that there was a story beyond just playing cards, but it wasn't one that I enjoyed. I thought this movie might be kind of funny since it had Tiffany Haddish, but it wasn't meant to be that kind of movie.

    The score is harsh and that probably has more to do with it not being my type of movie.

    It's not a good movie but the last 25ish minutes is definitely the best part

    Yeah, Maverick is was a total Ameriboner. Like yla and blast said, just an awesome theater experience. Saw it at the Warren Old Town in the showcase room on July 5. The audience in attendance started clapping and gave a standing ovation. I’ve never experienced that before.
    Really? I've been to multiple movies where that has happened. I always think it's strange. Like, is the projectionist supposed to come out and take a bow?

    In the Progressive "Young Home Owners Turning Into Their Parents" commercial one girl does this and the guy's response is, "Don't clap. No one who made the movie is here."

    I saw that and totally enjoyed it

    We finally saw Top Gun: Maverick in the theater.  I don't see many movies in the theater but this was one I really wanted to see on the big screen but we just hadn't been able to make it yet.  SO GOOD.  I mean this movie just vaulted to the top of my all time faves I think.  Action, emotion, comedy, and just the right amount of nostalgia.  Tom Cruise was amazing as usual.  I loved it.  I just absolutely loved it. My wife loved it as well. I think I might take the kids next week if it's still in the theater.

    To each his own. 

    But just curious, which incredibly intense and well shot action scene involving fighter jets blowing stuff up was the most boring to you you dumb idiot?

    Ha ha jk.  People enjoy different things.  Some people love great movies with tons of great action, acting, and just the right amount of nostalgia to make it emotionally impactful and some people like other things that are definitely way stupider and dumber but oh well.

    Also watched 355 on the connecting flight. This one is a damn good action/spy flick too. Total girl power movie.

    This movie is just the right amount of silly (which is to say, a lot), and it's something you don't see too much anymore. Love it. Also, tons of celeb cameos, even though you know they weren't highly compensated for it. Agree with the comment above that the cast enjoyed the hell out of making this one.

    What's wild is that the part of Butch was written for Matt Dillon, and Nic Cage was listed as an alternate option. Either would have been fantastic. Also, Nic Cage and Johnny Depp appear all over the lists as alternatives. Too bad neither made it into the film. The part of Jules was written for Laurence Fishburn!

    I am an Eggers fanboi but did not like The Northman. Ethan Hawke was so bad he almost single handedly ruined it before it even started.
    I was kinda hoping it would be either weirder or more straightforward mainstream entertainment. It was neither, so ended up feeling a little flat. Nicole Kidman still got it though

    Watched these the past couple of weeks. I enjoyed them all and ranked them in my order of preference.

    Nope (5/7) - This ranks at the top because I like Sci Fi movies a lot. I expected the scenes with the monkey to give me nightmares but so far so good.
    Vengeance (5/7) - This wasn't what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
    Smile (4/7) - I like horror movies and I thought it was good in that respect, but overall it wasn't that great.

    I turned Black Adam off after about 30 minutes.  Complete waste of The Rock.
    The Rock was my main issue with it.

    I did enjoy him being kinda a bad guy killing people, but then they tried to get all emotional early and I said no thank you very much and quit.

    I think that Zack Snyder decided that black Adam was never going to be part of his universe and it leaked as the movie was releasing which hurt the interest in the movie.

    Been watching Rocky movies with CF3 jr to get ready for Creed III and I have a hot take.


    Of the first 4 Rocky movies, IV is the worst by a lot. The acting is terrible, the story is super predictable and boring, the fight is dumb because there's like 200 knockout level punches. There are 3 montages in the movie, they all suck. The training scene song "Hearts on Fire" is terrible. The crowd turning on their national hero and supporting Rocky is stupid. The scene where Apollo dies is ridiculous, Rocky holds a dying Apollo in his arms as the press crowds around taking pictures- there's not a doctor or paramedic around?

    Rocky I and Rocky II are great movies, that have great characters. Rocky III is a good movie but is kind of corny.

    People who think they love Rocky IV are either dumb or haven't seen it since they were 12.

    Been watching Rocky movies with CF3 jr to get ready for Creed III and I have a hot take.


    Of the first 4 Rocky movies, IV is the worst by a lot. The acting is terrible, the story is super predictable and boring, the fight is dumb because there's like 200 knockout level punches. There are 3 montages in the movie, they all suck. The training scene song "Hearts on Fire" is terrible. The crowd turning on their national hero and supporting Rocky is stupid. The scene where Apollo dies is ridiculous, Rocky holds a dying Apollo in his arms as the press crowds around taking pictures- there's not a doctor or paramedic around?

    Rocky I and Rocky II are great movies, that have great characters. Rocky III is a good movie but is kind of corny.

    People who think they love Rocky IV are either dumb or haven't seen it since they were 12.

    Everything after IV was so bad that I can look fondly on IV. But you are right that the only 2 that are must-see movies are 1 and 2.

    Sure but like, it's pretty well accepted that Rocky is different from the sequels and kind of its own thing.

    Rocky IV is still fun if you know that it's not the same as Rocky (which is pretty well established when the Robot shows up).

    I don't get a lot of posting time these days due to personal complications, but I had to chime in here on Cf3's 0 Tacos Take. ("0TT") This post took me like 3 days to type out on a phone bc I can't get Tapatalk but I proceeded anyway bc I'm that committed to it.

    Been watching Rocky movies with CF3 jr to get ready for Creed III and I have a hot take.


    Of the first 4 Rocky movies, IV is the worst by a lot. The acting is terrible, the story is super predictable and boring, the fight is dumb because there's like 200 knockout level punches. There are 3 montages in the movie, they all suck. The training scene song "Hearts on Fire" is terrible. The crowd turning on their national hero and supporting Rocky is stupid. The scene where Apollo dies is ridiculous, Rocky holds a dying Apollo in his arms as the press crowds around taking pictures- there's not a doctor or paramedic around?

    Rocky I and Rocky II are great movies, that have great characters. Rocky III is a good movie but is kind of corny.

    People who think they love Rocky IV are either dumb or haven't seen it since they were 12.

    While I enjoy Cf3 a great deal, this is a terrible take. (Also Rocky definitely deserves its own thread. =mods?=)


    Rocky Bonafides
    I completed a Rocky rewatch with the Li'l Meals a few years ago. I also had a high school relationship that was centered around the rank order of Rocky movies and whether III or IV was better. For a long time, Rockys I-V were the only movies I owned on DVD. A guy I know was playing "Hearts on Fire" as we lifted weights together less than two months ago, and the song absolutely still gets the blood pumping. So believe me when I state: Cf3's take is unequivocally wrong.

    Cultural Endurance of Rocky IV
    Rocky IV--while I agree, a different movie than Rocky I--is the best for exactly the reasons Cf3 hates it. Most people can name 1-2 iconic lines or scenes from Rockys I-III, but anyone who has seen it can name significantly more memorable moments from IV. They might remember the run up the stairs and "Adriaaaaaan," but that's all that most casual fans remember. And they probably can't tell you if those moments happen in I, II, or III.

    But if people hear someone talking about Rocky IV, they will either say "Is that the one with the Russian?" or just immediately start quoting it--just as DQ did. They will talk about the training montage, Drago getting injected with Soviet steroids, Rocky winning the Cold War, "If I's can change," Apollo dying, the sexy robot, etc. They remember much more about the film than Rocky I, II, III, or V.

    Rocky I may have an Oscar, but no one remembers where Rocky and Adrian met, how he proposed, how he trained (other than the stair scene), that the final fight was a Rocky loss, etc.

    Culmination of Previous / Foundation for Future Movies
    Rocky IV is an inflection point in the franchise. It is the culmination of the Apollo and Adrian storylines (both die during or after IV). It is Rocky at the peak of his powers--he has vanquished all foes.

    It is also the basis for the Creed franchise. Is Adonis as bitter at the world if his dad doesn't die at the hands of Drago? (spoiler alert) It is literally the foundation for Creed II, as Adonis fights Drago's son (in a movie that made me IRL cry on a Southwest Airlines flight). We literally do not have the Creed franchise as we know it without Rocky IV.

    Pre-Eminent Montage
    The two iconic montages of the series are the Snow Montage (IV) and the Stairs Montage (I). But if you watch it again, the Rocky I montage is really just Rocky running around Philly or working out in a dirty gym for the first couple of minutes. Stallone's feats are impressive, but his body isn't necessarily overwhelming. The thing that makes it iconic is the music. (Note: most people think Eye of the Tiger is from the Rocky I montage. It's not.) Even when he gets to the top of the steps, he's by himself, he just kind of dances around, and then there's a freeze frame.

    The Snow Montage blows it out of the water. The music is more "of its time." (Tons of hilarious synth.) The juxtaposition between Drago's training in a super high tech Soviet lab vs. Rocky's American can-do spirit out in the wilderness. (He helps a horse get unstuck from the snow like 10 seconds in?) Rocky is followed--and subsequently ditches--some KGB members. He cuts a ton of wood. His body is way more chiseled (probably from pulling Paulie in a sled, not from anything synthetic) than in I. Drago punches the computer thing. Rocky does an insane ab bend thing on a table that I have literally never seen another human do. He lifts a giant bag of rocks and also a bunch of people in a...chariot? It concludes with Our Guy climbing a MOUNTAIN and yelling his opponent's name loud enough for all of Soviet Russia to hear him.

    Heck, it's even a DOUBLE MONTAGE. We get to see Rocky and Drago montaging together, as enemies (and future buds).

    People will say that Rocky I is the best montage, because they remember the stairs and because they think it's Eye of the Tiger playing. But it's clear that IV's montage is better.

    Best Villain
    Drago is a better villain than Apollo and Clubber Lang. Apollo may be a better character, but Drago is a better villain.

    Most Rewatchable
    It's easily the most rewatchable movie of the series--a point MIR has already made. Rocky I is actually kind of slow. Rocky II is kind of the same movie as I but not as groundbreaking. Rocky III is beloved by Mr. T fans but is kind of a proto-IV. Rocky V and Rocky Balboa are largely ignored.

    The movie that my kids wanted to rewatch the most? Rocky IV. The one they look forward to watching when we're back together? Rocky IV. 

     I could go on, but it's more important to get this post out than to make sure it's perfect.  @Cartierfor3, ain't gonna be no rematch.

    Great post WM.  I think you're dead wrong when you say IV>I.  They're just different kinds of movies.  But I is a considerably better movie than IV, imo. IV is largely camp, but good camp!  I is a bonafide film. I will also challenge your take that IV has a more concrete place in the cultural zeitgeist than I.  Nothing in IV approaches the iconic stair ascent in I.  Hell, the cliche of punching meat in I probably has more cultural staying power than anything in IV. 

    I do very much like IV though.

    I rewatched Creed last night. (we will get to Rocky V and Rocky Balboa to complete the series but skipping ahead for now) It's very good! The montage scenes were great and made sense and weren't stupid!

    Mostly a stopwatch with him saying motivational things over and over. (He is doing the coaching).

    Knocked out Creed II.

    I prefer Creed due to Rocky's role but really like Creed II also! But Michael B Jordan is kinda too small to be a believable heavyweight IMO.

    Montages in that one get a 4 out of 5

    I introduced Rocky IV to my kids this Christmas because it's a Christmas movie. It's the best Rocky by far. Bearded Rocky lifting up all his friends and family in the wagon as part of the Siberian training montage!  :love: I wish he would have kept the beard for the fight. But maybe it's against the rules?

    Order of Rocky's best to worst: 4, 1, 2, gap, 3, big gap, 5, huge gap like one million grand canyons plus one million of that one moon crater that is even deeper than the grand canyon, Rocky Balboa

    Everything Everywhere All At Once. I tried to go in with an open mind. I know I called it art house trash before watching it but I really wanted to like it. Everything Everywhere All At Once is horrible. It's incredibly dumb, made no sense, was not funny, and did not stir my emotions even the tiniest little bit. I hated it.  I guess a movie that is original, very strange, and incredibly nonsensical might appeal to some, but I need more.

    Also, EEAAO is a pretty good movie. I'd understand people not thinking it's the best thing ever, or even best movie of the last year, but if you pay attention to it, it's really not that hard to follow and it's a funny movie with a positive message. Definitely worth a watch.

    I take exception to using blockbuster as the standard here given, none of the current movies being discussed are blockbusters. However, given your criteria we have to go all the way back to the vety last true blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick.

    The Pope's Exorcist was better than what I had anticipated. I think you'll enjoy it if possessions and exorcisms are your thing.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was amazing. I was pretty sauced watching this one, but I think everyone will enjoy this movie. It's sweet, aesthetically pleasing and a lot of fun. Amazing cast, too. Like, a lot more big names beyond Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez which I wasn't expecting.

    Rewatched Nomadland last night with one of the lil croppings after she read the book. The footage of Western landscapes (esp the Pacific coast) was achingly beautiful. Also, outside of Winters drinking coffee at Bastonge in BoB and the veterinarians sharing tea with clients after difficult cases in All Creatures Great and Small, I'm hard pressed to think of a more poignant portrayal of humans sharing hot drinks than when Fern makes up that thermos of coffee and proceeds to go around the campsite offering it to others.

    That's certainly plausible. I thought they had an angle with this one where Dame would fight dirty and then maybe injure Creed doing something dirty or whatever. But there was barely anything like that at all. Missed opportunity imo.

Had some deeper things to talk about of course with Barbie, but even for Ken I think it was a good journey for him and really Gosling looked like he was having the most fun of anyone.

    I think the fight amongst the ken's was probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

    Further more thoughts (mild spoilers). I love this uber woke narrative about this movie being portrayed by the matt walshes, Ben Shapiro's et al of the world cause to me the movie superficially plays to that while also recognizing men as important, worth appreciation and respect. That's the whole point of ken's journey. He's so infatuated with Barbie he can't imagine how life without her. He goes to the real world. Finds it practically reversed of barbieland, and loves that he's finally taken seriously. Like yes in the end the Barbies " prevail" but that's also not the point. The point is they (barbies) took the Ken's for granted, didn't allow them to really understand themselves and they can be their own man without a woman. Call it woke, but the ultimate message I got was whether you're a guy or a girl, you don't need the other to define you, and you can be who you are with or without the other.

    Barbie especially was a monumental achievement, especially given the source material.  My only gripe was the Will Ferrell casting, automatically makes it feel like a joke movie. They should have had John Hamm or done other man-king CEO type

    This was kind of my take. I thought it was hilarious when gosling went to the library, learned about the patriarchy then took it back to barbieland. Went from sleeping "wherever" to having the supreme court justices being his cheerleaders.

    It was a "fun" movie, probably won't watch it again but it was enjoyable.

    My only gripe was the Will Ferrell casting, automatically makes it feel like a joke movie. They should have had John Hamm or done other man-king CEO type

    It's not a 'joke' movie?
    No, it is an artistic masterwork

    To argue the length of Oppenheimer, I would argue that the third act of the movie was easily far and away the best part of the film. I thought the end was so satisfying. If you can go see it in 70mm IMAX. It was fantastic and worth every penny.

    Barbie is incredible and I enjoyed both movies very very much.

    Once Hollywood gets done with the strike and starts getting back to work which will probably be longer than we all anticipate. They need way more one-off movies. The Marvel-Verse has America way too comfortable with just OK prequels or sequels. The last two Sundays going to the movies has been the most fun in a theater in years.

    Saw Oppenheimer on Sunday and Barbie on Monday, not sure if I qualify for the achievement. They were both amazing, very glad I saw in theater.

    Barbie especially was a monumental achievement, especially given the source material.  My only gripe was the Will Ferrell casting, automatically makes it feel like a joke movie. They should have had John Hamm or done other man-king CEO type
    Saw _Barbie_ last noc with Mrs SSOC and before enjoying beers on the roof of Tallgrass. Would 10/10 recommend both. Neither Mrs SSOC or I grew up playing with Barbies but we felt that the movie was both hilarious and surprisingly poignant.

    Will Ben Shapiro's vocal opposition of Barbie lead more people to see it? I imagine most people who would be convinced not to see it because of his take were never going to see it in the first place. But a number of people who were okay waiting to see it once it was streaming might go to theaters to see it just to spite him.

    THOUGHTS?!?!

    i watched driveways the other night on Prime.  nice short movie -- only about an hour and 20. 

    the birthday scene at the bingo hall was one of the sweetest, most wholesome five minutes of film i've ever watched.  the movie comes recommended.

    Watched the first half of a film called 'Let Him Go' last night with my wife. We went to bed halfway through, not because we weren't enjoying it but because we were very sleepy and ready for bed. I very much enjoyed the first half and am looking forward to watching the rest of it tonight. Diane Lane and Kevin Costner are a great 1-2 punch.

    The Boogeyman (2.5/7) - It was pretty dumb. Served its purpose as a new horror movie to watch. The family was unlikable.

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter (4/7) - I had low expectations for this one so I felt pleased that it didn't completely suck. If you like horror and go into it with low expectations you might enjoy it, too.

    'Big' is not a good movie. I just watched it with my kids the other day. The main issue I have is how the mom is treated. She sees a man in her house wearing her sons underwear and thinks this guy kidnapped her son. The police come for like 5 min and then are like 'welp, no luck bye' and you never see them again. You never see his dad again after he's 'kidnapped'. It appears no one helps or comforts his mom, not even his best friends parents who live next door. Then he stumbles home weeks later wearing a man's suit and no shoes and it's supposed to be a happy ending? She's going to live with this trauma for the rest of her life.

    Also it's creepy that a 12 year old had sex with an adult woman.

    Been going through some horror/thriller movies!

    Infinity Pool - 5.5/7 - I don't even know how to describe this. It's like having a fever dream while watching a Black Mirror episode, with a touch of psychedellic trip sprinkled in for good measure. It has two scenes that will stick with me forever.

    The Vigil - 0/7 - Boring. It's like you had a weird dream that you wouldn't quite classify as a nightmare.

    Saw X - 5/7 - After you see it, it's pretty clear why it got the best reviews of the series. If you enjoy the series, you'll enjoy it (probably).

    Muppets Haunted Manshion - 6/7 - The Muppets always deliver! And if you are easily frightened, fret not; this may just be the perfect Halloween movie for you!

    What about shows that are parodies of horror movies, like Cabin in the Woods? I think that one might strike the right balance between comedy, sci-fi, horror, fantasy that is really a different genre while still being “spooky.”

    The Kid which is a billy the kid movie is really really well done. Ethan Hawk is Pat Garrett and the guy who plays Billy is great.

    True Grit

    Assassination of Jesse James is outstanding

    Yeah, he's insanely good in both movies but he's next level in Inglorious Bastard iyam. Mostly cause I think in Django both Leo and Jamie crush it as well so he doesn't set himself as apart as much.

    I enjoyed the new Godzilla.  It felt like a big departure from the last few massive CGI hollywood style Godzillas.  There was more story to this one.

    I also watched it in a Screenx theater that projects on the side walls.  Pretty frivolous but was fun to try once.

    lil sd and I rented out a theater during covid to see godzilla v. kong and it was fun. may check that one out with him.

    entire extended family went to Trolls 2 over Thanksgiving and it was ok for what it was. BUT before it they showed a preview for Wonka and both my kids want to see the crap out of it and when they showed that it was directed or produced or something by the person who did Paddington (GOAT Movies) I also want to see it.

    Deep Water with Affleck was alright. Enjoyed the twists.

    Violent Night was great. Santa kicks a ton of ass.

    All Is Bright sucked all kinds of crap. Woof.

    It's great.  The fact that the film was created with the blessings of the tribe and filmed there is a very big deal in terms of media/film industry telling a story and utilizing the tribe to help tell the story.

    not to mention the economic boost to that area.  I recently got to chat with a guy who was involved.  His cousin played the elder/chief in the beginning scene in the lodge when they were burying their sacred stuff.

    He talked a lot about how the Nations/tribes are incredibly wary of whites telling their stories and this will hopefully lead to others finding native stories to tell.

    His brother or cousin was also a writer on Reservation dogs and Res Dogs has done much of the same.  These movies/series will hopefully open the door for other indigenous artists and stories.

    Really great perspective.

    I watched it the weekend before last and enjoyed it. I think the campfire scene where the Ken's sing Matchbox 20 was my favorite. I was disappointed the scene with Pete Davidson singing, "I'm mentally ill and I'm on drugs" that I've seen in IG reels wasn't in the movie. Just realized that was an SNL parody.

    good times

    lol

    the lifeless, dull mediocrity that is EM and Arrival, but you've got the same basic "dumb people think this movie is really profound when it really isn't" vibe to them.

    Critics raved over this movie. It wasn't insightful, thoughtful, profound, or any of the other glowing adjectives affixed to it. SPOILER ALERT!! Tony Stark make an AI robot that's super hawt. Dweeb wants to have sex with super hawt AI robot. Turns out (gasp), super hawt AI robot doesn't really care about having sex, but figures out it can use Dweeb's horniness to escape, because of its AI made by Tony Stark. That's the entire plot of Ex Machina. The dialogue wasn't memorable. The acting wasn't memorable (except the dance scene). /Spoilers.

    Granted, part of the problem was my expectations going in. If I had gone in cold I expect I would have concluded "eh, that was ok." But based on the glowing reviews I left the movie thinking "WTF is wrong with all these clowns?"


    if you're a dumbass who enjoys movies like Ex Machina that make you feel smart by pretending to be way more profound than they actually are, you'll like Arrival.

    To me, this is kinda like what happened with other movies (Ex Machina comes to mind), where there seem to be a lot of people who want Parasite to be a lot more profound than it actually is.

    Good Time ... just, chaotic as eff. i went into it totally blind not realizing it was the same guys as Uncut Gems. my goodness what a stressful 90 minutes. would recommend.

    Poor Things .... went into this one blind as well and WOW. it has the sex. storyline is absolutely bonkers and genius. have done no research on whether it's based on a book or something. it's hard to make me feel uncomfortable in a movie theater but this one almost did the trick. would also recommend tho.

    i went into this blind as well. my initial reaction still holds up, i think this is the best movie i have seen in a very long time. i don't want to give any more away because it was so thrilling just having no idea where it was going. i was never uncomfortable but yes, sex is very central to this story.

    Poor Things is 10/7. PEDs rec'd

    ISS wasn't that great but it met or exceeded my expectations. It was made up of a lot of things that I enjoy in movies (global war, space stuff and America vs Russia). I doubt most people will like it but if you have similar taste in moves as me then it might be for you! It has Danny from the Mindy Project.

    It was a good B movie.

    Maybe a complaint but maybe just it's good regardless but when he is pulling all that chain out of his bicycle to lock it up you can see it going through the bottom of the bike's compartment and I noticed it the first time and it always bothers me.

    I watched 5 of the movies up for Best Picture this year. Oppenheimer was probably, considering the competition, the easiest movie to predict winning Best Picture in a while.

    Barbie was Barbie. Very enjoyable, but no one was going to actually vote for it.

    Poor Things reminded me of Black Swan in 2010, low hanging fruit for "psychedelic best picture" nominee that everyone was okay voting for second place, but no one would vote for it for first place.

    The Holdovers would be incredible as a play, but I think as a very simple movie, it had the odds stacked against it. But the performances were incredible.

    Killers of the Flower Moon was exactly what I expected. It probably won 2nd or 3rd place in every Oscar category.

    Oppenheimer was fine. I think I liked it less than most. I don't understand why it was so long. They easily could have shortened it to make it a more compelling movie.

    Finally watched Talk to Me, which lived up to the hype. Great horror movie.

    A few recent viewings:

    Oppenheimer - overall enjoyable, yet probably didn't need to be that long.  That's what she said.
    EEAAO - this was completely bonkers.  What else can you say about a movie that features a butt plug fight scene?  It's original, funny in some places and mostly weird. Honestly not sure if I'd watch it again.
    Judgement Night - the first time I've rewatched since it was released and hell yeah, it's still entertaining and also very easy to root for Jeremy Piven's death.

    I encourage any of you who recently watched Poor Things to watch A Clockwork Orange. I had only seen it once a long time ago but gave it a spin tonight. Had to be a giant influence on poor things, structurally and stylistically. The movies almost feel like mirror images of each other

    I watched the new roadhouse on prime last night. It was a solid 5.5/7 if you suspend all belief of an actual roadhouse type bar with chicken wire protecting the band in the Florida keys. Nothing great but a solid action flick even tho Connor McGregors character was a little over the top and unnecessary.

    Still not as good as the OG roadhouse with swayze.

    Dune 2 (IMAX) was some of the most fun I've had at the theater in years.

    Poor Things was a much wilder ride than I expected

    that meme gif of the blond guy tilting his head in mild surprise was basically me throughout the movie
    It's the wildest ride I've seen in quite some time
    You guys talking about the Emma Stone art house steampunk eff fest film that I watched last night?

    Good first date movie.

    Rewatched Rudy last weekend with my kids. Never thought it was the best movie ever, but I remembered it fondly. It does not hold up and was boring AF.

    Yeah, congrats on getting some garbage time snaps at the end of your shitty career, Rudy. Someone should make a movie about a walk-on that ended up being good. Like Jordy.

    Pretty sure he was off sides anyway.
