star ship troopers lacks the homoeroticism of 300 and thus will never have the same scale or intensity of fascist adoration

I appreciate them more but they're absolutely bad movies. And not even in a Southland Tales goofy mess kinda way, just a pretty okay story told in an incredibly boring way. Cool art and good music tho

Cool art and good music tho they have a lot of bad stuff in them but as far as movies go I'd say theyre "ok" not bad. are they bad Star Wars movies in the context of the OT? porbably MacheteZombie posted:The rocks performance is arguably his best The Rundown imo

I loved it and made all my friends get high and watch it and they were kind of on board. I even remember reading the extended online comic or whatever they did that expanded on an already extremely bloated plot. Southland Tales is an example of how a film doesn't need to be made well to be enjoyable. The Killers were already so overplayed at that point and it didn't matter, CGI videogame-style voiceover exposition dump? who cares b/c it's otherwise an ambitious, pretentious, sloppy mess of cameos and plot.

everyone knows the secret to making good movies is byzantine backroom maneuvering and "controlling" production using actors as leverage and making up fraudulent box office claims, you can't simply "make" a "good movie" remember when robert eggars went on twitter saying "The Northman had the biggest box office opening of ALL TIME. it made a HUGE profit!!!"

just watched my man godfrey, what a great movie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Man_Godfrey quote:My Man Godfrey is a 1936 American screwball comedy film directed by Gregory La Cava and starring William Powell and Carole Lombard, who had been briefly married years before appearing together in the film.[2][5] The screenplay for My Man Godfrey was written by Morrie Ryskind, with uncredited contributions by La Cava, based on 1101 Park Avenue, a short novel by Eric S. Hatch. The story concerns a socialite who hires a derelict to be her family's butler, and then falls in love with him. having watched Trading Places the other day, it's sort of like as if Dan Aykroyd's character continued as a vagrant, lives in a shanty, but eventually got hired by someone else as a butler (also as part of a bet). Set in the depression, it's implied that bourgeois Godfrey was ruined in some way, and there's a lot of focus on joblessness and how easy it is to lose one's standing. took a picture of the essence of the film:  oh and the family is loving nuts. the end with the nightclub was kind of silly but the commentary suggested it was a requirement of the movie makers code at the time. going to watch la cava's other films. I think I will do this next, anyone seen it? It sounds awesome https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Over_the_White_House quote:Gabriel Over the White House is a 1933 American pre-Code political fantasy film starring Walter Huston as a genial but politically corrupt U.S. President who has a near-fatal automobile accident and comes under divine influence—specifically the Archangel Gabriel and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. Eventually he takes control of the government, solves the problems of the nation, from unemployment to racketeering, and arranges for worldwide peace, before dying of a heart attack. it's nice having criterion because I can just put anything on and I'll probably like it instead of searching the other apps for something worth watching at all. mawarannahr has issued a correction as of 21:15 on Dec 18, 2022 |

gabriel over the white house rules because the mafia does a literal drive by on the white house, the US secures world peace through superior firepower and when the incorruptible union leader is murdered by the disgusting bourgeoisie they sing john brown's body while marching.

Needed a big edit imo but yeah Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa is the kind of movie we should have had 20 or 30 years ago
