I don't get Scott Pilgrim either. It was slightly entertaining just because it was weird and had a few good jokes, but I have no idea what it was about (I mean really about). It didn't seem to have any message or anything to say about anything. I don't know why it was made or what it wanted to do. If the timeline could make sense one might just assume it was viral marketing for Atari.

Dredd

saw this when it came out and had heard a lot of hype but I also heard a lot of comparisons to the raid, a movie which people really hyped me on but fell kinda flat for me because nonstop action isn't actually what I want out of a movie

they're very similar, stripped down, barely a story, working their way through a building brutally taking down bad guys in room after room

I appreciated what they were doing but neither the raid nor dread got me invested in the story and I became numb to the action

I didn't hate either of them, just wasn't crazy about them

Southland Tales

I don't know if I'd call this a good movie, but I did really enjoy how completely batshit it was in every way

I have recommended this movie to people, but only very specific people

Yeah I liked Scott pilgrim when it came out but it targets a very specific demographic that I've aged out of and it is kind of shallow.

Rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

pretty sure I saw this but I am not really a big shakespeare fan, so I feel like I wasn't really prepared for it

also it came out in 1990 so I may have been 5

Summer of '84

I could have swore I watched this but after checking out the first half of the trailer I think I must have mixed it up with one of those other 80s throwback movies

I'll give it a shot

I'm open to more suggestions too

Edgar Wright's last movie, Baby Driver, was great. I've seen it a few times at this point and I'm actively forcing myself to not rewatch it again for a while because I'm gonna wear the movie out.

op have you seen The Vast Of Night?

It is a very understated, atmospheric, character-driven scifi movie set in Roswell New Mexico in the 1950's. It's really good, and it's not the sort of thing that's been done to death--like the "fight through a building" premise or the "superheroes destroy a whole city" setpiece.

Scott pilgrim is good if you read the comics, which devalues the movie a bit but the sorry gets fleshed out

Yeah this.

My BF made an attempt at finding a film about a gay couple where they ended up
1) alive
1a) and not sick/dying at the end of the movie
2) happy
3) together
so I ended up being in the room for a handful of those, but I can't genuinely say I watched them.
He found just a single one - and it was by Hallmark, which I guess is fitting.

There's kind of a surplus of gay-couple movies where one of them dies, almost as bad as the dead parents in Disney movies. I guess all the directors are in the "started dating during the AIDS epidemic" age and still have some trauma to process?

I watched Summer of 84 and it was ok. There was some stuff in there I hated though, like making the main kid a peeping tom who gets caught and then the girl is into it. In fact, the whole movie would have been better if you dropped that ex-babysitter entirely. Also they could get rid of that kid who won't stop saying hilarious lines like, "that's what your mom said when I was loving her".

The movie is pretty well made and has some good performances but it's held back by being so incredibly rote. There are absolutely no surprises until the last 10 minutes of the movie, and while that 10 minutes didn't make much sense it did elevate the movie.

Yeah, I saw it. It is certainly a novel premise, instead of "fight through a building" it's "talk through a whole movie" :v:

One time I was playing Mount and Blade and for reasons that still escape me to this day the entire skybox image was replaced with a random character models unwrapped face and the entire sky was a dark haired mustachioed mans face

I deeply regret not taking any screenshots
