I snickered every time they said "Shizz". It's a pretty mediocre songbook imo, The Wizard&I, Popular, What Is This Feeling?, and Defying Gravity are good-to-very good songs but the rest is unmemorable-to-dire. God knows how they're going to have to pad out part 2 musically cause all the good songs are in the front half. In the film, Defying Gravity was sapped of all energy and momentum by constant interjections . It's kinda the same in the musical, but there it's allowed to build to several crescendoes which feels satisfying, whereas imo the film editing never allows it to peak at all . Cynthia Erivo is a great singer tho and The Wizard&I was a highlight of the film.

JW4 has the stairs scene and the isometric shooter scene with the flamethrower gun. Mostly I agree that only JW1 is any good, but you could easily skip to JW4 and still have a good time, the intervening "world-building" of 2 and 3 just hugely subtracts from the experience

It's not a secret society but instead the backbone of the global economy. How the gently caress do you peg the value of one of those coins on the forex markets? It can buy you anything from "a night in a pretty nice hotel" to "I will assassinate the President for you"

Just watching the news and they had a videocall with Jon Turtletaub, director of The Meg, National Treasure, Cool Runnings, etc. His house on Malibu Beach is somehow still standing, but every other house for miles in either direction is burned to ashes apparently. Just wild poo poo.

CPL593H posted:I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but yeah. People largely have no idea how things they use on a daily basis work. Also, in the context of the movie who gives a poo poo how the time machine works? No, no sarcasm. If the average person was dropped 10,000 years into the past they would not be able to explain anything about the future. I have a PhD but I would probably gently caress up trying to create gunpowder and blow my legs off.

smackfu posted:We watched “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” last night and I guess I’ve never seen the unedited one because there was a lot more Jason Segel full frontal than I remember. I also watched FSM last night, and there were two scenes of Segel's dick and balls, just as I remembered. Movie hits a bit different now that we know about Brand being a rapist and useful idiot for fascist grifters. Also some of Segel's depictions of Sarah are a little bit lame wish-fulfilment, but hey he was a guy in his mid-20s who got dumped by Linda Cardellini, that's gonna do a number on you

BonoMan posted:This is basically what made me fall in love with the movies. I grew up in rural Mississippi and the only decent theater was in Jackson, 2 hours away. So every few months my parents would take my four siblings and I on what they called "Movie Blitzes." We'd get some hotel rooms and just plow through like 5 - 7 movies from Friday night to Sunday night. Going to the mall (which was next door) in between to eat or do whatever. It was a seminal part of my childhood. That rocks, your parents sound cool as hell. I used to love sneaking into multiple movies on a Saturday morning - if I could manage three in a row it felt like an accomplishment, you got some crazy contrasts, and were forced to see some weird poo poo. Now I get to go to the movies for free, which is also wonderful but in a different way.

Also, people here would probably enjoy this masterpiece of video editing and matching cuts - pure cinema rocks (It's David Ehrlich of IndieWire/Fighting In The War Room cutting together clips from his top picks of 2024. But even if you hate him as a critic he knows what he's doing here ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICqAq74YqVQ
