therattle posted:Not sure why I missed this thread for a couple of days but reading it now and this made me laugh for a solid minute. I'm glad you brought up Manchester By The Sea. It made me incredibly sad and I thought it was wonderful and I never want to see it again, but I definitely enjoyed it. I've seen it on different streaming services and never felt any negative things but also have never been tempted to hit play. We probably just have different definitions of enjoyment and that's okay.

tetrapyloctomy posted:We decided to rewatch The 13th Warrior last night because both my wife and I love this film but haven't seen it in a long time. While we both felt that it still works well, I had never actually read up more on it and it is crazy to me how poorly it was received at release. Omar Sharif quit acting for a while, he hated it so badly! I also didn't know anything about the clashes between Crichton and McTiernan amd multiple rewrites that apparently led to the latter leaving early and Crichton taking over as director. I am currently reading Empires of the Steppes: A History of the Nomadic Tribes Who Shaped Civilization by Ken Harl and apparently he loves it, too. He's name dropped it twice in the book so far quote:In 921/2, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, a jurist in Islamic law, visited the Khazar court at Atil as the envoy of the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir. In his account, ibn Fadlan was fascinated by the tall, fair-haired Rus, and so reports their methods of trade and a Viking ship burial on the banks of the Volga that was spectacularly re-created in the film “The Thirteenth Warrior” (1999).70 quote:The caliph sent his accomplished diplomat Ahmad ibn Fadlan, who penned an insightful account of the mores of the Khazars, Bulgars, and Rus living in the northern lands of darkness. Ibn Fadlan’s travels, along with the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf, inspired the novel of Michael Crichton and the movie spectacle “The Thirteenth Warrior” (1999).56 You can tell the guy just honestly loves that movie. Also he probably needs an editor.

Truspeaker posted:I hadn't thought of it til now, but between Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: The Return, Lynch really had his finger on the Elmore Leonard style of crime comedy. They should have given him a whole season of Justified to do whatever he wanted. Yes this is directly in Lynch's wheelhouse and Ellroy's novels are very very very much based on vibes, vibes that Lynch could have attuned himself to or made weirder

Today I realized that I hate Toby Jones. I think he can only act one way. I feel bad for hating such a pleasant and gentle man.

Tell me any movie where Toby Jones shows even the slightest bit of range in his performance

Gorn Myson posted:I don't care about range, he's been quality in loads of stuff I've seen him in. Marvellous. The Detectorists. Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Berberian Sound Studio. How many times can I see him sigh or look sad or put upon or furrow his brow or have people be really mean to him or have him say something sweet and then smile?? It's endless, absolutely endless with this guy. Tinker Tailor is his best performance that I know of.

If I remember right, I got irrationally mad at Fury for somehow forgetting that pistol ports on tanks exist, and I never watched it more than once. I should probably rectify that.

Harrison Ford didn't even phone it in for The Age of Adaline, an incredibly goofy movie which I love deeply. He's the best part!

I decided I wanted to watch Crimson Tide, for obvious reasons, and searched to see if it is on any streaming service. It isn't, you can only rent or buy it. But it's only $4.99 to buy on Amazon right now! That's a Walmart bargain DVD bucket price. Get on this deal as soon as you can.

Crimson Tide is one of my favorite movies I saw it in a theater with my Dad, the most perfect way to view a submarine movie. I'm happy to "own" it for five bucks.

Well a movie is at its core just showing certain angles of certain events Think about tree rings you can only show certain events from certain perspectives and the more narrow the perspective the more narrow of the ring inside the ring

I love how Starship Troopers presents the fascist government future as a totally perfect utopia where everyone works together to efficiently handle the problems facing all humankind Except they got snuck up on and also when they responded they had no idea how to face the arachnid threat whatsoever and kept loving up It's a satire

Has this ever happened to any of you? I never ever ever want to see Drive Away Dolls because I found its trailer so goddamn annoying that I have an automatic reaction to the thought of the movie. Somehow the trailer for it appeared in front of several movies I saw in the theater. The trailer is not the movie's fault!
