gently caress, now I've got an extended edition of Apocalypse Now, a documentary on its making, a 1993 film of the same story and Platoon to watch

Uncle Boogeyman posted:yeah Sonic was pretty excruciating. Careful, edibles almost made me call Pixels a good movie  Debbie Does Dagon posted:I enjoyed Detective Pikachu, but there were definite scenes of meaningless spectacle, the Torterra garden for instance, that could have been edited out with nothing lost This was the exact point I started thinking about how little I was enjoying hte movie JollyBoyJohn fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Feb 1, 2021 |

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Toys That Made Us is a doc series on netflix that covers some of this, though it does veer into rose tinted nostalgia. The He-Man episode in particular is quite illuminating, though. I watched that quite recently and it was a great watch! Kept meaning to go back to the rest of the series but never did. There's ones on Power Rangers, Professional Wrestling toys, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Worth a look for sure

caligulamprey posted:I'll just kick back with a big ole grin knowing that the culture has genuinely shifted enough that the #1 song in the world is from a fully out gay rapper being as gay and Satantic as possible. His songs suck rear end and lol at having your gimmick be "selling shoes with human blood in them". It just isn't as good a gimmick as "make good songs".

Are you guys all big stock holders in the college freshmen trying a white russian once before realizing they're gross and never having another one industry? I'm just mad at how bad Jesus Rolls was

Uncle Boogeyman posted:At least The Hurt Locker has the goods as a genre film (and calling it a movie about how the Iraq war is messed up is a weird reading tbh) Still amazed that got a best picture award. I think i just really dislike Jeremy Renner though so I'm biased

Escobarbarian posted:Dynamic range in cinema screens definitely feels lacking these days, yeah. But then you go to like a Dolby cinema or something and it’s absolutely incredible. One reason I like going to the cinema anyway is because I am extremely bad at ignoring my phone when watching stuff at home Lol yeah i can relate to this although tbh i rate most films ive seen at the cinema on the "how many times did i check the time on my phone" scale.

I like the home experience more because if I'm bored or restless i can switch off and maybe come back later. I know you can walk out a cinema but it always feels so wrong - only done it twice - Pixels and Ghost in the Shell

Watched the 2014 Godzilla on a whim today, really enjoyed it, very unfamiliar with the series so was really thrown by the whole Muto sub plot but the visual spectacle was exactly what i wanted and there was just enough of a human touch to compliment the huge city destroying lizard. Will have to to seek out skull island next, feel like I've not many new monster movies since i dunno cloverfield or maybe even the 2005 Kong

The only comic book I've ever loved was The Killing Joke, I always hoped they'd use that storyline for one of the Batman films but they haven't really as far as I'm aware I also bought The Rugrats comic episode 1 when I was a kid and put it in a plastic sleeve in a drawer thinking it'd be worth money one day lmao

Hughmoris posted: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. Lol i thought you were talking about The Day After Tomorrow for a sec there in a Deep Impact/Armageddon Dantes Peak/Volcano style of confusion

Basebf555 posted:Tarantino is an intelligent guy but you could tell early on in his career that he'd been brain poisoned by all the people he encounters constantly worshipping him and treating him like a god. He's the type who would be insufferable at parties because he'd be like "I'm the most interesting person in this room, you know it and I know it, so I'm gonna just yap all night and you can absorb my genius". I mean pulp fiction was really really good (and true romance is underrated!)

Basebf555 posted:Yea I mean that's just a thing that happens when you make a pop culture phenomenon like Pulp Fiction and it comes completely out of nowhere. In the mid to late 90's Tarantino was basically treated like the Messiah returned to Earth. Then he gave us kill bill volume 2 to remind us he's still human! Jokes aside its a hell of a filmography he has when you count writing credits. Saying that I've not yet watched his 3 last films yet!

I don't remember hating the second Matrix movie at all but I do remember absolutely none of my friends being interested in seeing the 3rd one at the cinema in fact, I think I had completely forgotten there were 2 more Matrix films until reading this thread edit: oh god, 3 came out 6 months after 2? that seems wild thinking back

Finally watched There Will be Blood after it appearing on Netflix, was hooked throughout, even for a 150 minute movie it just gripped me the whole way through, Daniel Day Lewis just magnificent as always, came away still not really knowing if I despised or was rooting for Daniel Plainview. One of those movies where you really feel like you are watching real people.

checkplease posted:What are some good movie related podcasts that people like? I am a big fan of art of the score for film music and the soundtrack show. I started listening to a Blank Check episode about Spirited away and then they spent the first 15 minutes talking about Shrek (and one of the 3 said he didnt even see it).

Finally got round to watching Shallow Grave at the weekend, ive always loved Trainspotting but really enjoyed this one, just a good solid 90 minute movie, great twist, cool to see a young Ewan McGregor, should probably just seek out the rest of Danny Boyles filmography. Its free on YouTube as well.

X-Ray Pecs posted:You’re in for a treat! Cheers! I enjoyed it for what it was, let's be honest its a fairly basic 70s slasher flick with great music. I was quite taken aback when you are shown hes a kid when he kills his sister, i must have seen or read about that before but had no idea it was from this movie Good film but a little dry, not to worry though me and the wife are watching nightmare on elm street 3 (first time viewing) tonight so ramp up the camp

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was a good time, really enjoyed the special effects, pretty good work for a film that's 34 years old I think I'll skip the next few and head straight to Wes Cravens New Nightmare. I remember taping it off my grans Sky TV and being a confused child not understanding what in the heck it was going on about so it'll be interesting to revisit!

So tempted to go to the cinema at the weekend for Dune!, I've not been to the (relatively) local IMAX in my area yet and I imagine it'll be relatively quiet on a Sunday evening so we'll see how me and the wife feel.
