Re: Movies
I wanted to ask a few in my feed how they feel when reality tv hosts do the same thing just to see them contort themselves like Reed Richards.

No character has ever needed to be punched more in a movie that doesn’t get punched at some point than Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites.

I watched knives out. I loved it. Until they left the house. From that point on it was something less than good. Unimpressed. Don’t get the swamp love.
ETA: I told my youngest we would watch it later again since he couldn’t tonight so maybe I missed something. I’m open to being wrong since people I respect liked it but I just thought It fell apart late.

I have rewatched and I think I can articulate my gripes. But tomorrow. Not now. Spoiler: my opinion improved slightly.
Ets: it’s actually one gripe that manifests itself multiple times.

Little Woman is really good. Hopefully Greta Gerwig, Saoirse Ronan, and Timothee Chalamet keep making movies together for a long time.

Re: Movies
I'm a little late to the game, but, yeah, really enjoyed this movie.
Pro tip: My wife and I treated it like it was a 3 part mini series, watching it 1 hour at a time for three consecutive nights. Really enjoyed the experience. I can tell you, there's no way she would've sat through that in one sitting. I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it in one sitting (maybe), but I know most people aren't up for a 3.5 hour movie.
I know that's not a novel opinion, but it was stunning in its length, IMO.

I'd say that this an overly friendly Star Wars board compared to the rest of the internet.
(I know I was critical of the latest, but I also know I will watch it 10 more times in my life probably. )

Re: Movies
Yeah, it's really more a general / very personal comment. My son refused to go, bucking a quasi-tradition we'd established of seeing whatever SW franchise vehicle was available over the holidays. They fucked us with Solo, but for a number of years they came out over the holidays and we'd go to the fancy theater and see it. Pissed me off.
But, also, critics and uber nerds have been shitting on the franchise long before Disney took it over and I'm just tired of it. I get hating on Phantom Menace, that shit is putrid. 2 and 3 aren't great, but they're not horrible. But the recent movies have all been pretty entertaining. Just no pleasing people when there are so many Comic Con-type people vested in a franchise.

It's a bit old, but A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is pretty fantastic. Beautiful horror movie, though not gory at all.

The Aretha Franklin gospel film Amazing Grace is sloppily shot, and a bit of a mess visually, but holy cow, it is great.

I liked it a lot. De Niro was good and the de aging stuff wasn’t as distracting as I thought save for some short periods.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:38 amI'm a little late to the game, but, yeah, really enjoyed this movie.

Not reading the spoiler, but I was very much that way on Basterds as well. Christoph Waltz is incredible in that movie, as is Pitt.

Re: Movies
I loved "Inglorious Basterds," and liked "Django." But "The Hateful Eight" pissed me off so much that I have no further interest in Tarantino's movies.

Re: Movies
I've seen a lot of takes that The Hateful Eight is terrible and I just don't get it. I like it better than the Kill Bill movies, which are my least favorite Tarantinos.
Pulp Fiction
Django
Reservoir Dogs
Inglorious Basterds
Jackie Brown
OUATIH
Hateful Eight
Kill Bill 1&2
Note: I still enjoyed the Kill Bills, so the floor is pretty high in this ranking.

Re: Movies
Mostly about gratuitous violence (even for tarantino) and the completely unredeeming character of every person in the room. The over the top woman beating doesn't do it any favors.

Also it's a b-movie story that runs nearly 3 hours.
I found it to be almost a parody of tarantino's better movies.

Have been reading about Turturro talking about this for a few years. Last I read the Cohens were not endorsing it but also gave Turturro the green light to use the character and get the movie made.

Re: Movies
Watched The Two Popes. Watching it now it definitely has a Kobe feel about it where it’s glorifying the good and margininilzing the bad. Which is probably worse for a movie than instant reactions regarding a celebrity death. Cause there is more intentionality.
However, Pryce and Hopkins were both great. Ymmv

Re: Movies
We went and saw 1917 yesterday (instead of watch the Game...good choice. There was a grand total of 6 people in the theater). Super great movie...really well done. The 'tracking shot' stuff was distracting at first, but once the mission got started, it became less so.
Re: Movies
Saw 1917 and echo everyone's thoughts. Beautiful shot and edited. A little slow but the tension building up as they went made the slow parts ok.

I watched Hell or High Water on Netflix this weekend and thought it was really good. Had a strong No Country For Old Men vibe, without being quite as dark (or as good, which isn't an insult).
