Black Sheep is a big step down from Tommy Boy tbf and the dynamic between Spade and Farley is not as strongly defined

Us is a weird case where the film’s definitely got its messy parts but if you were to write those out the whole wouldn’t work quite as well.

Us explains things the exact wrong amount. The explanation in the film is just enough to kill any mystique but also not quite enough for it to make logical sense. Reverse Goldilocks. I love that film dearly but that part doesn't work at all

The biggest knock against Us is that I've never felt felt an urge to revisit it since I originally saw it in theaters whereas I can watch Get Out and Nope over and over again.

Nope is one of my favourite movies, and I feel it says something since I usually don't like horror movies at all. Then again, it doesn't really do things remotely the same way as most of them.

The jurassic world movies are so awful they make us forget sometimes, how important Jurassic Park is, because there's not a lot of original footage of dinosaurs - my friend, to me, just now, after two beers

on the topic of punk films, was Class of 1984 mentioned? 80s thriller with lovely teen punks causing mayhem in a high school, a music teacher pushed to the edge, some awesome fashions, a tiny michael j fox, and one ill-advised rape scene

Us has the best performances of all of Peele's films. That cast is across the board spectacular in those duel roles. And Lupita Nyong'o is on a level above that.

Forgot to actually add my praise for Us, which might not be my favourite of his films but is technically spectacular. I don't know of there being, and find it difficult to imagine there being a better version of actors playing two roles appearing on screen at the same time. The fight scene choreography must have been insane to rehearse. You're ballet dirty fighting with someone who isn't there to have something to work off of. It'd be like figure skating pairs having to do their skate seperately at different rinks and then the judges judge based on how the performances are merged on screen. The song that plays during the fight is pitch perfect. I think it might tie with the Orenishii duel for best fight music I can recall just now. Like that last example the track is tense without being pretentious. It swells and ebbs with the fight but actually also swells when there's a lull to show you things aren't over.

I assume they pasted Nyong'o's face on a stunt double when they just couldn't fake it with a stuntie and some clever angles.

Complaining that Jurassic World or Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom aren't as good is like complaining that James Cameron hasn't made another Jurassic Park when he's also made The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Saw Miracle Mile as part of a mystery movie marathon and everyone in the screen loved it. We were having a great time laughing at how ridiculous it was, basically an absurdist masterpiece. Then got home and saw a bunch of reviews about it being legitimately scary and effectively dramatic. It was insane. I love that movie but apparently what I love about it happened completely by accident.

I watched Miracle Mile. Extremely good. I've been watching so much garbage lately thanks to that drat 15 DVDs for 5 bucks deal, I think Miracle Mile is my first certified banger of the year. The first part is fun but from the phone call onwards it just goesEscobarbarian posted:Saw Miracle Mile as part of a mystery movie marathon and everyone in the screen loved it.

The part where the cops explode themselves is over the top but beyond that I'd say "harrowing" is the appropriate descriptor.

There's some deliberately cute/wacky stuff in there IIRC but if you remember the Cold War it's not very funny at all.

I watched 180 Degrees South. Pretty boring. It's theoretically about this guy retracing this mythical journey two surfers took to the tip of South America in the 60s. Those two guys did the whole trip in a VW microbus full of The movie gestures a lot towards actually being about conservation, but it's all built on the story of this guy's trip, and it's such a basically normal trip and he does not grow or change at all, so the most charitable way to describe the movie is that it's home video of a guy's vacation. The less charitable description is that it's a veiled promotional video for Patagonia brand equipment and clothing. Which is accurate. They never say "good thing I'm wearing my Patagonia hiking pants!" or anything, and I don't think the Patagonia logo appears on screen ever. But I looked into the movie and one of the guys who did the original trip founded Patagonia. And the guy doing the movie just so happens to be a Patagonia brand ambassador. It's a very clever Patagonia commercial. The Modest Mouse guy did the theme song tho and I do like it. But if you want something about the pleasure of being outdoors, Laid Back Camp's third season started yesterday. Just watch Laid Back Camp. That's always a good move.

Monkey Man was fun although it could stand to be trimmed down a bit (the “rebuilding section” was too long). I couldn’t tell if the safe in Queen’s office was a loose thread or a red herring although I’m leaning towards the latter. I thought Bobby was going to pull off a slick con or something but nope he charges ahead with an insanely half-baked attack at the first opportunity that doesn’t accomplish anything. Somewhat refreshing to see an action protagonist who’s just… not very good (at least at the beginning). A bit reminiscent of Blue Ruin in that regard although that movie is a million times more grounded than this hyperreality. Biggest laugh was try to escape through the window and just painfully bouncing off the safety glass. The movie doesn’t tread a whole lot of new ground outside of the cast and location but honestly that’s enough.

Ok this is driving me crazy and I need your help - I met a girl and she reminds me of an actress but I can't remember the name of the actress. She's a brunette, with big hair and prominent eyebrows and cheekbones. She was never a leading lady, mostly supporting roles. Maybe something with Michael Douglas? I think she was bigger in the 80s or 90s, but maybe she had a later role in one of the NCIS or similar crime shows? I've been googling for an hour now ah it's driving me nuts who is she? edit: oh thank god I found it Jeanne Tripplehorn she was in Basic Instinct with Douglas and Criminal Minds. Phew. vvv oh good guess Red Rox fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Apr 8, 2024 |
