Now, I believe 12 is the one where a key plot element is the fact that Julia Roberts's character looks like Julia Roberts, isn't it? That's always sounded a bit  to me.

Neo Rasa posted:What the gently caress it is insanely brutal because after John Wick comes to we see his dead dog is hanging off him with a trail of blood behind it so that we understand that the dog didn't die when when we thought the language of film told us it did but that it instead spent its final moments on earth trying to get to and be with him while painfully bleeding to death and that John Wick failed to save his dog because he went soft. sure, the animal died & mattered more than the several humans dying lol

John Wick is a film that asks how many people have to die to avenge one dog and sadly there simply arent enough extras in hollywood to deliver a final answer

That Julia Roberts gag in Ocean's 12 is actually really loving funny. Y'all are sitting around describing a really good joke "look at how bullshit and dumb this super serious scene is" but actually it's really funny

Cage posted:It was a bold choice but it flopped. If the rest of the movie was at all charming or good otherwise it could slide, but it wasn't so it just sticks out as a weird scene in a boring movie. Especially when you try to apply any logic to it. She looks like Julia Roberts, but they don't look like Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and George Clooney?

12 bothered me because they stole the Mcguffin like 20 minutes in and then spend the rest of the movie going "oh no how ever will we steal the Mcguffin now" before finally going "psych we got it!" They should have let the audience in on that and made it a comedy where the rest of the time is them loving with the other guy.

Len posted:12 bothered me because they stole the Mcguffin like 20 minutes in and then spend the rest of the movie going "oh no how ever will we steal the Mcguffin now" before finally going "psych we got it!" Twelve is hosed up because it was originally a significantly smaller movie; George Nolfi wrote a spec script called Honor Among Thieves, about an American thief and a European thief each trying to one-up the other to see who could pull off a bigger heist. WB bought the script and shoehorned all the Ocean's characters into it, and it suffers significantly as a result. It's less a movie than it is an excuse for Clooney and Pitt to gently caress around on vacation in Italy.

I've never seen Oceans 12, except for the laser scene, which only works because of the song. It falls into that trap where you can tell that Cassel (or his stuntman) just did their thing and they put in the lasers in around them. He's clearly not reacting to anything that happens.
