To Live and Die in LA is great. The guy from CSI was also the first person ever to play Will Graham in Michael Mann’s Manhunter. The dude had a good 80’s.

Those are both great movies and make for a perfect double feature. I could spend all day talking about how amazing and perfect Manhunter is.

Junkie Disease posted:"The little things" is a worthless terrible movie about a bunch of loving idiots chasing a loving idiot I didn't heed this warning and watched "The Little Things" Do not make this mistake. What an utterly pointless movie that made me feel next to nothing after the first 5 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend The Little Things but I didn't outright hate it either. 90% of it is Washington and Malek doing their thing and I can't help but be somewhat entertained by that, plus Leto's tired schtick is actually well suited for this particular role. That said, everything people are saying about it being derivative as hell is correct. And for a movie that's trying to ape Fincher it doesn't really come close to his visual excellence. It's a pretty bland looking movie outside of a handful of shots.

I read something that said the story was written 30 years ago, and if it’d come out then I think it would’ve been received better. Unfortunately much better movies have been made since then and it just doesn’t compare.

It's not super new but I finally got around to checking out Star Trek: Lower Decks, and holy poo poo is this funny. Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid and Eugene Cordero in a show that's pretty much a fusion of Futurama and Star Trek. I'm really digging it.

I binged Halt and Catch Fire over the last week or so and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was one of those shows that started off strong and just got better as it went. By the end I felt like I’d spent years with those characters, and didn’t want to say goodbye. Unrelated, but I finally got on some depression meds and it’s nice to be able to feel things about shows and movies again.

Some good or at least notable poo poo went up today on HBO Max: Justice League animated series, including JL Unlimited. Batman '89 and the 3 sequels. Batman: The Brave and the Bold Blade Runner Ghoulies 1&2 Man of Steel The Matrix Trilogy A bunch of Saw movies. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And my personal, "What, really?"

Anyone watched The Lady and The Dale on HBO Max? The first two episodes dropped last night and I'm hoping to watch them sometime in the next couple days. I saw the Elizabeth Carmichael case on Unsolved Mysteries decades ago and even as a middle schooler I thought it was bonkers, so I'm excited to see it get a fuller treatment.

I get it for free too, but I think I'd just sub 2-3 months out of the year if I had to pay for it. They have some of the best stuff, but it's inconsistent and I'll go months where I almost never use it. Prime and Hulu are the only two services that justify having them year round imo. Possibly even just prime, but that's in part due to the other benefits.

Yeah, if you absolutely made me choose one streaming service to keep I'm pretty sure it would be HBOMax. its got a deep library of movie and tv and seems to keep adding stuff. I'm sure that will plateau at some point or they'll cycle things out or something but right now it seems like the best option.

The only ones I pay for is prime and netflix. I only keep netflix around because I share it with 4 family members who pay for other services. I'd ditch it in a second if it was just me.

Thundercracker posted:I think that's the crux. Keanu is VERY good at his strengths. Put him in a romcom like The Replacements and he's so bad the studios will memory hole certain scenes on dvd because their howlingly bad (e.g. his big romantic scene in that movie where he crosses a bar to kiss the romantic lead and entire way he's head nodding like a chicken to show attraction. Gone in the dvd release) Isn't that kind of on the director?

Jose Oquendo posted:Some good or at least notable poo poo went up today on HBO Max: There are a lot of iterations of Superhero nonsense out there, and Brave and the Bold went missed by a lot of people, but it's really good. It's much more in the vein of Adam West's Batman than virtually anything we've gotten with the character recently, and they just obviously have a ton of fun with the source material. Like, it has unambiguously the best Aquaman ever. Also a musical episode starring Neil Patrick Harris. Anyway, for more good superhero poo poo that's a bit closer to usual, Batman Beyond is un-skippable if you like Batman. It absolutely nails the "Batman of the Future" conceit, making Gotham and Batman futuristic but still recognizable, and giving the new guy his own rogues gallery while sprinkling in the old villains. Will Friedle delivers a good I am Batman. If you don't want to commit to the entire series, just watch the first two episodes (which are the origin story) then skip to Return of the Joker, which is just plain one of the best Batman movies.

I enjoyed it, felt more like Scorsese doing his impersonation of a Hitchcock film than actual Scorsese. Though speaking of i saw HBO has After Hours of you want Scorsese doing a rare comedic film. It's one of my favorite, shlub gets dragged through a wild night in NY movies.

Finally convinced some friends to watch Gods of Egypt since it's free on Amazon Prime. I really think if this movie had just gone with entirely made up mythology instead of pissing all over Egyptian culture it would be beloved. What a dumb but awesome ride.
