My local arthouse theater's been open for a few weeks and I guess they're starving for content because this trailer played when I went. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G10fIaOsCmc Using an epic trailer voice guy for a cheesy doc about Monet cracked me up.

Not liking Hamilton is perfectly acceptably (it has its issues, especially as it pertains to how little attention it gives to slavery and the genocide of Native Americans), but it will never not be funny to me that a lot of goons, C-SPAM people in particular, adored the musical when they first heard about it in 2015 and then did a complete 180 when the show achieved mainstream popularity.

blast0rama posted:THE KING’S MAN It's so weird how Rasputin became the boogie man when in reality he probably was just a really horny dude who wanted to bang the tsarina. But I honestly find the whole concept of Kingsman disgusting, it's a bunch of (mostly) upper class, white men who wants to shape the world and the movies treat it as that's a good idea.

I mean, the point of the first movie was that in order to survive they had to evolve and let lower-class people and women into the organization. But then they trained Eggsy to act upper-class and sidelined the more competent woman, so even in that context it's a bit hard to like in execution.

I thought she survived the first film only to get offed in the opening of the second? I skipped that one because the third act of the first movie felt so gross, plus it looked like trash. A shame, because there was a lot to like in that first flick.

The first Kingsman movie was a fun little thing that came out of nowhere and did well and you're happy to catch parts of it on cable randomly. The second one was a fairly sloppy misfire that relied too much on weird character tics, needless twists, and overwrought action senquences because they learned the wrong lessons from the success of the first. Also it had some stuff in there that was just grossly misogynistic and mean to women - I can't remember the last time I cringed so hard in a movie as the condom tracking device implementation scene. Edgerton was smart to move away from these flicks because they don't really have much to offer and the foundation/politics of the story makes for some immensely wobbly pins to establish an entire franchise upon. Always nice to see Hounsou get a check though. The Foundation series looks interesting and well made, assuming that they discarded the terrible filler novels beyond the initial trilogy. Biggest problem there is that I don't know a single person who has Apple TV and Foundation doesn't seem to be the sort of thing people will sign up for all by itself.

If we can't have Agreed, although I was also hoping that this time around the mysteries would all be more grounded and things that viewers would realistically have a chance of helping with, but I guess it wouldn't be Unsolved Mysteries without a UFO case.

I did an entire class on Hamilton (not because I liked it but rather to illustrate how weird Americans are about elevating historical figures and how that overlaps with pop culture) when I was teaching university in Brazil and the students responded positively to Satisfied way more than any of the other songs by a large margin. If you remove the specific references it could be a generic, if very well produced and performed, pop r&b track of the sort that we really don't get anymore.

That was a highlight for sure because I thought the show was just pure hip hop. Also cool how that scene IIRC is the one they do the rewind of later in the show.

Goldsbury might be the most purely talented singer in the original cast of Hamilton (she'll fight it out with Leslie Odom) and Satisfied is a really great showcase for her talents. Honestly a lot of the more singing-based songs in Hamilton are really quite good. Burn, Wait for It, Satisfied, Helpless and It's Quiet Uptown are all very good. I think Lin-Manuel is a really talented songwriter, I just think his head might have expanded quite a bit after Hamilton hit it as big as it did. I think I've even said it before in this thread but In The Heights is much better even though it didn't get as much attention from the general public. Of course, thanks to the dumb virus the film version has been delayed an entire year, which is a bummer.

I got dragged, by my daughter, to see it in the west end, and I couldn't really tell you much about it. I liked the King's song, the rest were forgettable. I got serveral sharp looks for laughing when Hamilton's son got killed. That was hilarious. I am still unsure how to take the whole blackwashing of the lives of people who owned legions of slaves, but it gets more roles for poc so I guess its a positive thing overall. We also saw Six, which was a far better ahistorical musical imo

Toy Story 4 was aggressively bad, and Onward was just mediocre in a way Disney movies used to be, before Pixar came along and broke the mold. Now...meh. Like, Cars 2, Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Cars 3, and the aforementioned Toy Story 4 and Onward. What the hell happened? Admittedly, I did not see Incredibles 2, because I heard it wasn't great, and I couldn't do that to myself. Also, way to bury the lede with that trailer.

That movie rocks and gets better with each viewing. I know it went through production hell, but after having watched it 45 times during the pandemic (my 1 year old is mesmerized by TGD and Moana) it's super solid.
