I remember reading a review of The Ladykillers where it said that this is the second Coen Brothers movie in a row where someone accidentally shoots themself in the head.

Ladykillers was fine, it was a weird slow burn and not up to usual Coen standards but it had a good vibe.

maybe its an age thing but we got to talking about the matrix movies at work and i am 5-10 years older than my coworkers (im 40) and they all talk fondly about the matrix sequels to the point that they didnt seem to know that anyone didnt like them. it was weird. for the record i dont hate them, but the 3rd one is bad and the 2nd one is also bad but not as bad

None of them are bad because they all contain some pretty rad scenes that make it worth sitting through the not good stuff. They are movies that are less than the sum of their parts (?)Tiggum posted:Probably saw them as children and never rewatched them as adults. You get the same thing with the Star Wars prequels. But as an adult I realize the prequels are really good (maybe not so much Episode 2)

Credburn you're "not gonna lie, you had me in the first half" personified I'm watching Reloaded right now, it's the cave rave scene. That song by Fluke is so good. Lol I kind of forgot this scene is half softcore porno HenryJLittlefinger has a new favorite as of 05:41 on Apr 18, 2024 |

I honestly liked Matrix 2 and 3 more as an adult. Still far from perfect, but I could appreciate the cool scenes more fully, and I now have more fun distractions during the bad parts than I did as a kid.sebmojo posted:I like the architects speech, it's great, also lowkey one of the best trolls of the early 21st century

Phy posted:Who are the rear end holes who think Event Horizon is a bad movie, I will fight them with fists and kicks I wouldn't say bad, but disappointing. It has fantastic ideas, but personally I don't feel it quite lands them. The dubbed version of The First of the North Star that came out in the early '90's as japanimation started to take off is pretty terrible but I love the weird cadences of the English voice actors dealing with the unwieldy translations. Also, everyone explodes or gets sliced into pieces. That's pretty cool.

In it, you could kick bad guys, which would make them fly away, or you would punch them, which would make them explode. I never understood why punching makes them explode, but I'm glad to see it seems to come from the source material and wasn't just... weird NES weirdness!

My apologies. I watched this movie when I was in a bad relationship and not watching award shows and the like. Also everyone in my family thinks it's terrible and they all hate musicals. I love musicals. Guys and Dolls, Musicman and West Side Story FTW.

Just finished 1990s The Rookie, which is probably someone’s favorite but absolutely not mine. First Eastwood movie and perhaps another three decades until I watch another one. Maybe I’ll watch the monkey ones, I don’t know. Are there a cornucopia of slurs in the monkey movies? Anyway I’m here to talk about Raúl Julia, who was the villain and finely dining on the scenery in parts. Christ what an actor, the versatility!  I might check out Tequila Sunrise even though Mel Gibson. I love Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, wish he did more PBS sci-fi, also wish there was more PBS sci-fi, what a weird concept.

While the monkey movies are comedies, they are comedies from the 70s featuring Eastwood, so yeah, offensive language is almost guaranteed and also IIRC there are some rapey overtones. Maybe Cline Eastwood is not the star you want to follow. As for Julia, yeah he's something else. Isn't he playing a German in The Rookie?

It’s not that there’s slurs in The Rookie, that I expected, it’s that there’s such an impressive variety of them, like they had a quota to make.

Maybe Cline Eastwood is not the star you want to follow. High Plains Drifter blows way past overtones in the first 5 minutes to make sure you don't get confused and think Eastwood is playing a hero... Good enough movie otherwise but makes for an awkward start to movie night with mom & sister.
