low key my favorite part of Dredd is the tonally incongruous inclusion of Matt Berry's Snuff Box theme song during one of Gleason's scenes.

It's funny how flat and mostly bad One Night in Miami (on Prime) is. It's yet another Nomadland type Oscar bait picture where I'm just astonished by all the praise. Nothing of it felt "the time", neither aesthetically nor in terms of the "weight" of the history presented, it just felt like a bunch of dudes doing impressions. Like a skit. No energy really, maybe some at the start but overall it drags and it's very obviously a (bad) movie adapted from a play. I just about lost it laughing when Malcolm X went, and this is an exact quote, "Besides, uh, you know, I’ve always got my Nikon handy for taking photos on the move."

I would hate it if Dredd had been more overt in its satire. The moments are subtle but they stick with you. ALL of the henchmen receive such incredible characterization. I mean, when's the last time you watched a cop movie and 9 years later you could be talking about the movie with someone and they could say the words "fabulous wig guy" and you immediately know which dude with 60 seconds of screentime they're talking about? every bad guy gets intimate closeups of all of their faces/mannerisms/friendships/tics, just enough for you to really identify with them, right before the angry masked man brutalizes that face or sets it on fire and then lingers unnecessarily long to watch it melt.

disney+ added a new channel called Star in non-US terrirtories and it's got an ok lineout of movies. Good enough to justify keeping my subscription for another month or so anyway (I'd basically been using it for nothing but old Simpsons) Just watched Starship Troopers for the first time since I was a teenager and drat it holds up so well.

It might be illusionary due to the pandemic, but I think Bruce Willis has entered straight-to-streaming territory and he ain't coming back. Cosmic Sin and Breach are both terrible. Checking his IMDB, he has been going back and forth between that and movie theater releases for a few years.

I feel like that's true for pretty much everyone who was big in the 90s these days. Looking through any former action star's last decade or two is pretty sad.

I think with Bruce Willis it's more a case of semi-retirement rather than lack of good offers. Like, he's perfectly willing to show up to a lovely D-TV thriller where he gets to be on set for a single day and do his two scenes and get paid like 100k but he's not interested in being the star of a big studio film with all the time commitment and responsibility that entails. I'm not basing that on anything other than the fact that he's really not doing lead roles in these D-TV movies, he's always popping up at the end as the big bad guy for like 5 minutes of screen time, or as the father of the main character who has a single scene or whatever. It's a nice payday for very little effort and I feel like if he wanted to have lead roles in those movies he could do it so the only explanation is he doesn't want to.

Bruce Willis's role in Motherless Brooklyn is probably his biggest role in years and he's still only in a third of it

Isn't Bruce Willis notoriously a jerk to work with? Not that that's a dealbreaker for actors, but at a certain point if he's not drawing audiences the way he used to it might make a difference for his job options.

I think that's how he was for a while but as far as I know he's mellowed out a lot I doubt Wes Anderson willingly put himself through another Gene Hackman situation

Predators is better than you'd expect, but in the sense that I thought it was going to be a D- and it turned out to be a C+. If nothing else it's worth watching once.

"Adrien Brody's know-it-all, rear end-kicking merc Royce gets a full-body temporary tattoo, courtesy of a buttload of Predator gunsights" Given that the video didn't load, it took me way too long to figure out what the gently caress they were trying to describe.

Watched some great horror on Prime lately, Tombbad and Saint Maud (saint maud required Epix but I just did the stupid free trial) Tombbad is just like, shades of Pan's Labyrinth and Event Horizon, definitely some Clive Barker/Lovecraft vibes. It's silly, grotesque, and a lot of fun. Tomb raiding into places no human should ever go. Saint Maud was just like, drat, incredibly brutal and confidently directed for a feature debut. It's somehow both restrained and brutal, it doesn't go for the cheap shots but it hits you loving hard. I haven't seen a movie in a while that made me cry out for god this often (OH MY loving GOD!!!! GOD ALMIGHTY!!! etc) which seemed fitting. Both films do some interesting things with body horror and while they're not perfect, definitely both worth watching.

I watched Manborg last night and it was loving great. No budget, cheesy as hell, but great fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mISUM0qvFTQ Free on Prime e: speaking of Prime, just read that the 7th and final season of Bosch is coming out this summer, and then they are immediately rolling into filming a spinoff series with Harry, Maddie and Honey Chandler for some IMDB ad-supported channel. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bosch-spinoff-imdb-tv Enos Cabell fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Mar 5, 2021 |
