I gotta be honest, during the ruined city sequence I was mainly thinking about how great Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding are

Watched the Godfather Part 2 with parents. Cooked parmesan crusted chicken, bucatini with red pepper cream sauce, and had an Italian red wine. A good evening, a great movie.

Coffee And Pie posted:1917 is better than Dunkirk Pah. I never felt like I was in the story. Chapman in particular was wholly unconvincing. The artful lighting and production design made the whole thing feel like a triumph of aesthetics with not an iota of real feeling in the whole piece. It's a dead film.

Looking really cool is a perfectly valid objective for a movie.

Gripweed posted:Yeah it can. I don't know any great films that were made solely to look cool. And as for 1917, it was definitely not his intention to just tell a war film that looked great, or to convey being extremely tired (not sure what the relevance of that is). He was trying to tell a very personal story inspired by his grandfather, and to convey the horror of war in a modern way. In my view he failed, and not by a bit either. For all the muck and mud and rats, it felt sterile.

1917 is pretty good but it has a couple of “R LADS” moments that I really don’t like and the scene with the woman and kid was corny as hell

1917 had a comprehensible plot, it’s basically a road trip movie. Maybe it’s just because Tenet really soured me on Nolan, Dunkirk was just incomprehensible, just a bunch of angular white boys who all look the same.

For all the muck and mud and rats, it felt sterile. Are you sure you're thinking of the right movie? I'm not sure how anyone could be "not sure what the relevance of [being extremely tied] is" to 1917. I don't know about his intention, but 1917 is absolutely a fantastic movie about being very tired. We follow this guy throughout the afternoon and night into the next morning. At first everything is normal and looks real, but once we get deep into the night he's started to get a bit loopy and everything gets weirdly dramatic and dreamlike, and then once the sun comes up it's way too bright and stuff seems bleached out and weird. That is a journey that anyone who has inadvisably stayed up all night can understand. Especially the little details like when he sits down and doesn't sleep but just kinda zones out for a minute, or when people are telling him to get something to eat and he's like "no I gotta do a thing", those moments are very true to the experience of being very tired. 1917 looks great and is one of the best representations of a certain kind of feeling, being very tired, that I have ever seen. If you think that looking great and conveying a feeling aren't enough for a movie, then fine, but I disagree.

Dunkirk was a neat toy, but it's not a good movie. It's a cool gimmick to experience once, but I have zero desire to ever engage with it again.

Re tired, I get your point; I just wasn't sure where it came from as you hadn't mentioned it previously. I don't disagree, but the movie just failed to engage me. Not just a little, but almost wholly, to a degree that is unusual. Your experience was obviously completely different*. * and wrong. therattle fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jun 14, 2021 |

There’s a lot of video games out there that are obviously trying to be movies, but 1917 is one of the few movies I can think of that feels more like a video game. It really felt like I was watching the cutscenes from some sort of “serious” war game. It was just weird. I bet it would make a fun game though, or better than the mediocre movie it is anyway.

I'm still baffled by that. Why not just get Richard Kind? He's younger than my dad, it's not like he's retired from acting.

Finally got around to watching Edge of Tomorrow. An enjoyable movie and I thought Emily Blunt was fantastic. Doing some reading shows it wasn't exactly a box office smash when it came out, and it's expensive, so a sequel seems unlikely? Shame, it seemed like a fun world to build upon.

There's one in the works because it did well enough overseas, but Blunt recently was skeptical of them being able to make schedules work out anytime soon.

What else could you really do with it. The story pretty neatly wraps up.

But I thought about it and that's probably for the best. I did get Peter B. Parker from that line because why would I not?
