Rad Valtar posted:I rewatched There Will Be Blood and reaffirmed that it's probably my favorite Daniel Day-Lewis film. Oh yea, definitely. The intensity is on the same level as something like Gangs of New York except this time channeled into an actual fully formed character in a movie that's basically a character study. I haven't seen My Left Foot but I can't imagine a non-verbal performance is as good as the one in There Will Be Blood.

My take away from this thread is that spam is good if you add about 50 other things to it to mask the spam.

The consensus is to fry it. Plain eggs are pretty boring and bad, too. Are you also going to be intentionally ignorant about those, too? What about raw beef? Lettuce? Rice? Any other things that go better with other things versus alone and uncooked? THIS INGREDIENT TASTES BAD UNCOOKED BY ITSELF is not a valid argument you loving goon.

Okja was kind of disappointing. Whoah, the meat industry has some issues, really blowing our minds with that message your 20 years late on. Next feature really send us for a loop about how firearms might be questionable, or have you heard about these things called drugs?! They might be harmful!

There is way too much going on in Okja to characterize it as a simplistic critique or exposé of the meat industry.

I caught it about 6 weeks ago on Comet, and yeah, I'm shocked it never got a sequel

For some reason in the movie I'm watching, Amazon streaming's subtitles mistranslated the word "dick" into "kike" just now. Classy.

I also loved Baby when I was little, then didn't see it again for about 30 years. Earlier this year, I found a bluray copy at a used book store, so I grabbed it for a dose of nostalgia. I feel that it actually holds up pretty well; the effects are dated, of course, but still serviceable, the story works, and the acting is pretty good. The only thing that aged poorly was the casual jingoism, but that's to be expected.

Call Me Charlie posted:Night Of The Living Dead remake is on Shudder. It scared me to death as a kid but it does lose something being in HD instead of a low-fi VHS. Even with all it's flaws, it's a fantastic movie for getting across the idea of why zombies are terrifying. They're slow. Weak. Stupid. You can run right past them. You can maybe even fight off a group once you get use to the idea of being around lumbering flesh eaters. Yet, no matter what you do, there's always more and they never stop working towards their singular goal. Savini's remake was awesome. I don't get all the hate.

I appreciate the whole Netflix Disney deal because they're not movies I'm going to see in theaters, but stuff like Moana is exactly what I want on a day when I'm cleaning and want an excuse to stop.

I really loved the Polynesian music vibe in Moana, all the flashes of the huge kon tiki boats...I thought it was pretty rousing.

Moana is probably best of the modern Disney movies. I haven't gotten sick of the songs either, even with it being played over and over.

I am glad Moana is on Netflix now. I've been needing to watch it again to see what I missed the first time. I think I saw a different movie completely the first time; while everyone I've talked to about it has said it was a masterpiece, all I saw was a decent movie with catchy music and the usual amount of Disney film-making cliches minus the obvious one.

I'm really tired every single Disney film having the exact same story. Moana was fine. Really no complaints, but I didn't feel like there was too much about it that was remarkable. The crab song was good.

Disney is too afraid to simply entertain a child anymore, every film has to have a message. Messages that teach kids lessons are fine, but not every single movie you put out has to have a life lesson.

I watched like 20 minutes of the Red Pill documentary on Amazon while I was eating lunch. One of their public figures is a big fat dude with most of his front teeth missing. He is speaking in front of a large audience while wearing a Polo shirt with a huge prominent liquid spill on it and he is wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt over the polo shirt. You can't make this stuff up.

If you have Amazon Prime I recommend checking out We Are Still Here. It's a fun little Fulchi-esque (or so I'm told) horror movie about an older couple who moves into a New England house that has ghosts. I'd compare it to Ouija: Origin of Evil in that it doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but it's pretty solid and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Also Barbara Crampton and Larry Fessenden are in it.
