After all the comments, I was expecting Lindsay to look AWFUL, and instead she looked pretty much the same with maybe a little too much botox.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:why would you ever watch anything by Uwe Boll and expect it not to be complete poo poo? I also found it really unconventional and nihilistic. The problem I had though was interpreting if it was truly nihilistic and had a message in there or was more about pushing buttons, which he seems to like to do just for the sake of doing it. I wasn't able to separate the director and the movie well enough to make a good judgement on that.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:why would you ever watch anything by Uwe Boll and expect it not to be complete poo poo? To be fair, it's probably the best Uwe Boll film. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still unrepentant garbage but it's not as overtly poorly-made as everything else. Magnus Gallant posted:Maybe I'm just unable to see things properly, but the only character I really thought had aged horribly/super noticeably was steve holt. Love the new season also. The first few episodes were not the best, but everything after the third is gold in my opinion. Eh, they all looked like they aged a bit, the kids into their 20s, the adults generally just looking a bit more rundown and haggard which kinda fits the theme of season four anyway. The only one who looks exactly the same is Buster.

This talk of Micheal Cera make me hope people get the chance to see the two movies that he did with Sebastián Silva (Magic Magic and Crystal Fairy). They're both really good and Cera is fantastic in both of them playing different really reprehensible characters that are way outside of the schtick he's known for.

Cera wasn't too bad in Youth in Revolt, which is a pleasant little B movie that doesn't hold a candle to the eponymous novel.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:Her nose is like a centimeter shorter. It's a ridiculous thing but impossible for me not to fixate upon. There was something just "off" enough about her that it was distracting. Our brains are weird about faces, and when someone changes enough through surgery (rather than just natural aging) it can gently caress up how we see somebody. Portia de Rossi looked like a completely different person in a Portia de Rossi "mask" until I adjusted to the change. She looks fine now, it's like my brain finally adjusted to it.

Question for you guys who watched End of Watch: do you think the whole "hit put out by a cartel" part was all that necessary? I don't. I think the movie would have been just as good with the slice of life things and perhaps even ending with them responding to a call that ends completely unremarkably, just shooting the breeze with a shopkeeper or whatever. It's in there to provide drama but I don't think it really added much to the movie and actually made it seem less realistic. Would the cartel really put a hit out on beat cops who just happen to stumble across a couple of their operations? I kind of doubt it, but who knows they are crazy bastards. Yes I just don't want Zavala to die

Holy poo poo, Kill List. Though, I was very mad when it was over until I went to Google and found a theory that actually made sense about it. Jay is the Antichrist or something like it. The director flat-out said his wife wasn't in the cult and that nothing in the film is a dream. All the religious talk and imagery fits with him being the literal (Anti)Christ.

precision posted:Holy poo poo, Kill List. I don't see why it has to be the Antichrist specifically. The plot was pretty clear that the cult was molding him into something else, but it could be anything. Also, aren't the people he killed at the ritual at the end? One last thing is that while it might not be a literal dream, the movie is very dreamlike. By the end Jay is clearly in a waking nightmare. I love Kill List but its so intense that I'm not sure when I can watch it again.

foodfight posted:I don't see why it has to be the Antichrist specifically. It doesn't have to be, absolutely, but if you count up all the distinctly Christian references in the film, it makes sense - their employer talks about "Reconstruction", the little debate about how the "Irish thing" doesn't make sense to the wife because "it's all the same religion", the many times that Gal shows that he's a very religious man (and says "Thank you" to Jay when he kills him, just like all the others did). I think Christianity is a pretty big theme of the film, but it is up for debate whether he's Christ, the Antichrist, or something else entirely.

I felt the same way about it feeling unrealistic but that had to do more with them always getting into some crazy hijinks. But a cartel, any cartel, holds grudges and will gently caress anyone who pisses them off. Two beat cops are going out of their way to gently caress us? That's a hit. Great movie, I need to watch it again.

I don't think it was necessary, no, but without it there's nothing really tying the story together other than "hey this cop likes to film stuff". Its a neat movie, but its not nearly as memorable or powerful without some sort of dramatic aspect to it. It'd be a pretty unremarkable film without the ending that it had (or at least some sort of drama building and conclusion). I do sort of agree that the way they went with it seemed a little forced, but what the movie does well is introduce you to a couple of characters and gets you to like them. Then you're on the edge of your seat as those two likeable characters deal with a situation in which they're under extreme pressure and in great danger. How they got there (it being at least feasible and not OMG ALIENS or something stupid) isn't as important as the fact that they got there. stimpy fucked around with this message at 21:52 on May 30, 2013 |

It definitely was an effective tactic to ratchet up the tension/drama, I remember literally being on the edge of my seat during that sequence. Impressive what you can do with an audience when you have laid the foundation of a couple well rounded characters you really care about.

I don't think the spoilered thing in End of Watch needed to happen, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment either. There were a lot of ways they could have taken that film, really, and all of them would have been great.

I don't know if it's just the big-rear end beard he usually sports now, but his weight isn't nearly as jarring or noticeable outside of the new Arrested Development. He doesn't even look particularly "old" apart from the weight. Bob Odenkirk on the other hand... But then Bob looked old even in the earliest episodes of Mr. Show.

I'm a big fan of the podcast, but I thought the Comedy Bang Bang tv show was pretty mediocre. Part of the problem is Auckerman has always been the least interesting/funny part of his podcast, and so basing most of the show on his performance really brings things down.
