As a man, I dream enviously of the spoils of pregnancy. I mean, can you name one drat thing about pregnancy that doesn't sound incredible? I dare only to dream of the day that an 8 lb creature tears me apart from genital to anus.

I know there's a lot to complain about with the Oscar noms having just come out, but Villeneuve, Gibson, Chazelle, Lonergan, and Jenkins is an awesome directing group (I haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge yet so I'm not going to judge against it).

She has successfully made it through the "feel sick all day" stage and is now in the "extremely anxious, and are these stretch marks?!" stage.

Re Oscar noms, all great calls and I'm delighted to see Moonlight included along Arrival. Not sure about Gibson. Hacksaw Ridge is hokey as gently caress until the fighting starts, which is when it comes alive.

How much of the La La Land hype is caused by it being one of the few feel-good movies in a not-feel-good time? I mean it's a good movie but it is NOT 14 Oscars good.

K. Waste posted:I think I prefer Deepwater Horizon, but, yeah, it's a pretty raw experience. What would you say was your favorite scene [in Patriot's Day]? There are like six or seven great scenes, but I love how Berg gives MIT's Cheetah 2 robot a prolonged cameo, to emphasize 'the ability to run' as something exceedingly rare and valuable - simultaneously drawing another implicit connection to the military-industrial-entertainment/educational complex (the robot was funded by DARPA, and the film incorporates promotional youtube clips). Throughout the film, there's an emphasis on people inhabiting a system that is beyond control or even comprehension - which explains the bombers' conspiracy theories without sugarcoating how moronic they are. 'Raw' is definitely the word for it. It's like if Terror At The Mall incorporated brief reenactments instead of supplementing the surveillance footage with interviews. Deepwater Horizon is solid, but more 'traditional', I guess? It does a lot to fit the historical event within the coordinates of a sci-fi action movie. Like, the film is explicitly framed as a nightmare - half Alien prequel and half top-quality bayhem. It's a lot like 13 Hours, in that 'it's just like a movie' is pushed to the limit. It helps that you have Malkovich and Whalberg coming in from Transformers 3 and 4, almost playing the same characters. Berg even throws in a brutal Titanic reference after the cheekier one in Battleship.

I had completely forgotten the Cheetah scene. I don't know how it didn't dawn on me that it overlaps the military-etc. industrial complex with the 'banal' multiculture of Mass. just as explicitly as literally showing Tsarnaev's roommates and Sean Collier's off-campus buddies playing the exact same video game. And then because of the association, everything that the Tsarnaevs do later in the film plays out like they're just 'playing the game.' Again, it's straight Columbine-Doom imagery.

Every person from Boston: Patriots Day is exploitative trash taking advantage of our tragedy and just about every one of us was deeply affected by this, not to mention the number of people who survived walking around on prosthetics who can't even go to the movies without seeing that loving trailer with Mr. Hollywood Wahlberg playing last action hero on the single worst day of their lives.

Whalberg's composite character spends the film wandering around with a radio and a flashlight, trying to make sense of his traumatic experience, always showing up too late to do anything besides interview other witnesses. He doesn't get an action scene.

It's a diss against the idea of Boston as a mono-culture which simultaneously treats Patriots Day as exploitation cinema, yet simultaneously uses it to their own cultural and emotional healing.

Magic Hate Ball posted:I hear Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a smash hit with 9/11 victims. The problems with XLIC have little to do with 9/11. But then I'm assuming you haven't seen that one either. It's the Day The Clown Cried meme, where the actual film is certainly fairly average, and people are really just taking the opportunity to joke about the holocaust. Patriot's Day is, again, a film akin to Terror At The Mall. It also functions along the same lines as United 93, or as another actually-good version of Zero Dark Thirty.

SMG, in theory you'll love Get Out more than anyone else here, though I'm also probably wrong about that for reasons I can't foresee. Still, it's a horror movie that's almost completely about "woke" "post-racial" liberals

Tuxedo Catfish posted:well i mean she was a tired, tiny little 40+ year old woman, i think we can forgive her for not committing totally to revolutionary violence Actually it was a planned act of defiance, which doesn't at all take away from it, but it was originally a high school girl that would not give up her seat but the civil rights movement didn't want to make her the center of something like that so they had Parks, who was willing to bear what come down upon her, much more publically do the same thing. I'm not taking away but the whole thing was not Parks being tired The main problem with that meme image is the dumb as hell idea that non-violent means not disruptive and also that the non-violent part was the only part of the civil rights movement that had any effect

Doesn't this logic (ignoring your weird presumption about the lock step groupthink of people from Boston) also render all war movies or movies based on a real, traumatic event equally unacceptable for being "exploitative trash"? Far more people were traumatized by the Vietnam War, are Apocalypse Now and Platoon and Full Metsl Jacket etc cynically "taking advantage of [a] tragedy"?

I was mostly trying to make a joke premised around the image of her lifting the bus over her head like the Hulk and tossing it down the street.
