Hey OP, it just so happens that I have seen Fantastic Breasts and where to find them. I too bought tickets accidentally, I wanted to see Fantastic Beats and where to find them, a documentary about the illegal rave scene in the UK during the early '90s. It's a small world isn't it?

As to the so called erotic film you were trying to see, I can't say I would recommend it. There was not one penis in the entire drat movie, not even a flacid one.

Just saw it with my girlfriend whose a big harry potter fan, I think I liked it a little more than she did but it really was a terrible movie. Fortunately the theatre I went to served alcohol so I could just drink and watch some flashy magic poo poo. The actual movie was disjointed as gently caress and no character development or explaination for anything.

Like whats up with the evil jehova-witness lady who beats her adopted kids, she was just sort of there and like "hey her char is shes crazy and beats her kids" but seemed like there should have been more going on or something. And then Jon Voights char and the whole news/senator thing was pointless and like oh some dick guy died, ok.

The one lead chick spent the whole movie with perpetual crying-tear face. I don't think she had a single other face or emotion other than sad i'm about to cry. Eddie Redmayne is pretty poo poo too. I liked Dan Fogler's and the mindreading sister people the most and even then that was fairly meh.

I have not seen the end but I already figured out that the Vice President Wizard is Grindelwald.
This was so painfully obvious that I thought for sure it must be a fakeout because no way it's that stupid. Grindelwald also didn't do poo poo at all and even at the end he was like welp i give up mwahaha. Like they didn't even explain what the hell he was trying to do other than convince wizards to show themselves to people, but then he should have been happy the emo-boy guy went on a rampage instead of being mad about it? Idk

The evil Jehova's witness lady's death wasn't even cathartic. We barely even got time to know or care about her, and never once did she actually menace any of the heroes. Ditto for the senator. It was like "why do I care that this guy is dead?"

oh yeah, I liked when Grindelwald was zapping eddie on the train tracks repeatedly with lovely CGI lightning for like a minute straight, and eddie just looked mildly constipated and being tickled and got up after and was completely fine.

more i think about it and as the alcohol wears off, this was really a bad movie and I didn't even have any expectations

It was weird that the two leads were both uncharismatic weirdos who can't talk to people and are just sort of anxious the whole time, but the two supports were reasonably appealing and fun. I liked it when pastry man one punched Ron Perlman in between taking shots.

I thought I was buying a ticket to see Fantastic Breasts and Where to Find Them.

Anyway it's a bad movie that goes nowhere. I walked out about twenty minutes before the end, but everything up to that point was just a bunch of running around and nonsense so I wasn't interested in seeing any of the movie's paper-thin plotlines resolved. Most of the movie's scenes did not advance the plot, and nothing that happened in the film was interesting or entertaining.

I was forced to see this schlock by a fan of Harry Potter. You'll be glad to know that the movie is resolved in a really stupid way that only makes sense to the manchildren and the literal children who are the target audience, so you missed nothing of value.


BTW, does anyone else get the feeling that the entire Harry Potter story is basically a racist treatise from the point of view of the bad guys?

"muggles" is basically a slur for untermenschen that are at best to be pitied or ignored, and at worst exterminated.

As a fat, son of Polish immigrants, working at a dead end job, with a mustache, and no knowledge of Harry Potter, I found the Jacob character eerily relatable. That said, I didnt find the movie very good, and neither did my girlfriend who loves the series.

That said, the wizards rightfully deserve to be hunted down to extinction by the regular humans. They have the power to casually mind wipe anyone who sees their poo poo, and will execute one of their own on the spot without due process. Even if the bad guy framed her, why would the main wizard lady cop go back to work for the organization that tried to murder an hour before? The Wizard President ordered the execution, and she willfully goes back to work for her. That's hosed.

yeah, so normies dont know about magic(we know that from the books as well as the half assed explanation on why the dont unite the worlds. but clearly some crazy bitch who rants about magic has sway except she doesnt i guess. i mean, hundreds must be dead by the end of the movie. sure you can magic property damage but i am sure.

i was the same about the grindelwald thing and i honestly wanted the dude to be some follower or some poo poo so they could build up grindelwald for the next 20 movies or whatever. but nope.

yeah like i said. its hosed up and the movies tries to blame it on it being the american wizarding community but we all know they should all be killed.

that brings up the question. so WW1 happens in the Wizard world too, apparently, Why? i always assumed and the book kinda showed that they dont give a poo poo about normals politics.

This reminds me of that one HP movie that, I think, came out around the end of GWB's presidency? Order of the Phoenix? It was like an hour and a half of children being physically and emotionally tortured by some lady in a pink hat and the government was real bad? gently caress that was a terrible movie. Just shamefully bad.

They don't but muggle wars and wizard wars happen around the same time with the implication that the wizard wars are causing muggle wars.

I had the same thought. The only enjoyable part of the movie was the "homely" non wizard guy occasionally punching some wizard in the face and getting the babe. The fantastic beasts were not very fantastic.

I enjoyed the Beast movie, like I know it wasn't great, and the plot was a thin slice of Swiss cheese, but it was charming at the right moments, and had some funny lines in there. I guess it also helps that I didn't pay or the tickets myself, so thanks to the shady Chinese finance company for giving me the tickets for free!

I read this book that was about some special magician school. It wasn't a great book, but what I liked was that after graduation the main character and his friends don't really do anything with their lives and instead laze around getting hammered / high, living off their abilities to use magic to basically get what they need to live in comfort.

In term of Harry Potter, I've never seen one of the movies from start to finish.

This movie, along with the lady ghostbusters movie, is the second I've seen this year that exploit essentially magic with rules that don't make any sense to restore things to the way they were before the movie takes place. This was a lazy plot device two decades ago and movies are still doing it. what the heck

But I was paid to take a vegetable level client to see it and my standards get lowered when I'm profiting from seeing a movie rather than paying. Also I was grateful it was playing or I would have been forced into seeing the Smurf movie.

With the one flaw that partially contracting words into each other is more of a British thing than American. I can't imagine an actual American coming up with "no maj." We'd call them something onomatopoetic I think.
