I just finished all 4 John Wicks (spoiler alert) I’m glad they killed him off in the last one.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
During Covid I set out to watch every Academy Award Best Picture winner. Haven't completed the list but have seen just about everything all the way back to the fifties. Just watched Bridge On The River Kwai (1957). Fantastic flick.
had recently listened to a multipart podcast on flight 571 (uruguayan rugby team that went down in the andes in 1972), watched Alive (1993 movie with f'n ethan hawke, sigh) and was happy to see a very recent spanish film (la sociedad de la nieve, on netflix) take it up. spanish movie ruled, 6.5
i finally watched Barbie and it was very good. i think it would have been even funnier if i knew like, anything about barbie and all the versions that came out. felt like a lot of references i was missing (unless they specifically called it out).

Watched ex machina for the first time, I had 0 clue what to expect and knew nothing about it before hand. wowza, super cool flick even 10 years later
lolQuote from: K-S-U-Wildcats! on February 23, 2017, 01:51:42 PMthe 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.Quote from: K-S-U-Wildcats! on February 23, 2017, 03:44:07 PMCritics 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?"Quote from: K-S-U-Wildcats! on February 23, 2017, 01:51:42 PMif 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. Quote from: K-S-U-Wildcats! on April 13, 2020, 11:54:53 AMTo 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.

watched Monuments Men for the first time which is a fun kind of hollywood throwback movie. Anyway this line at the beginning was infuriating lol
