It felt like a telenovela with some songs, but the songs are written by someone who doesn't know how songs in a musical work. And it's not a telenovela it's a racist stereotype of a telenovela. It's baffling in every way.

Music biopics already are redundant, they're just jukebox musicals that rely heavily on nostalgia. I was happy that A Complete Unknown at least made Dylan seem like an opportunistic rear end in a top hat.

Watched Den of Thieves this weekend and it was one of the worst films I've seen in a while. Y'know what a good scumbag movie has? Likable scumbags. People who give you a reason to cheer for them. All of these people are vile pieces of poo poo. It was definitely stupid, but not in a fun way.

Pirate Jet posted:Better Man is a five-star movie by the standards of music biopics. Unfortunately that is the worst genre in the history of film so it’s mostly just okay. His life story is just an incredibly cliche VH1: Behind the Music episode and the only reason that Better Man is interesting at all is the monkey.

Mordiceius posted:My question about Mickey 17 - It doesn't really touch on it but the whole crux of the movie is two Mickeys existing at the same time and they are very clearly very different people.

OK. You should probably just see the movie rather than just summarily dismissing it imo. Edit: You should see it too MZ.

Escobarbarian posted:Yeah there’s a version of A Complete Unknown where Dylan is straight-up the villain which owns but the typical biopic stuff keeps on creeping in around the edges. Norton is excellent too, I watched some Seeger clips afterwards and he really nailed his inflections. Yeah I would say the movie kind of ends up being "God drat this guy is easily the best songwriter of our or any generation we should worship at his feed. He's such an absolute dickhead though." I expected it to be more fully hagiographical so I really appreciated that angle.

C'mon guys everyone knows Kenneth Anger completely made up most of the stuff he wrote about donkeys. You can't use him as a source!

I really like CATS a lot and have inflicted it on a lot of my friends, but it suffers as a bad movie experience by having waaaay too many slow ballads. It's made for group watching so you can point out the tennis shoes on some cats or the disappearing/reappearing rings or when Judi Dench just casually stretches her leg over her head.

Both written by Diablo Cody. Jennifer's Body has pretty affected language, like Juno, so you will probably find it annoying. I think it's fun.

Don't you worry they'll change their mind again after Lilo and Stitch and the lazy-as-hell How to Train Your Dragon both make a bazillion dollars.

Nebalebadingdong posted:oh wow, thanks for this! i didn't know about this website. i appreciate it very much It tends to be a bit spoilery but it's very thorough, which is really nice if you have a specific phobia or dislike. Unconsenting media does the same but it's specifically about sexual violence.
