M Knight Shyamalan's Old is the most compelling movie I've seen in a while. It is completely hilarious and unbearably stupid but it has bold creative moves and is overall interesting and memorable in its insanity. It approaches some kind of auteur piece, there's an obvious passion involved.

You're spot on my dude.
Ending was real good except for the coral bullshit.

I also just rewatched all the craig bonds, and I think quantum is good if you watch it DIRECTLY after casino royale - otherwise it won't make much sense unless the other is very fresh in your memory.

Spectre loving suuuuuuuuckssss so bad and im shocked sam mendes did it.
It felt like they completely made up the entire plot and backstory of blofeld on a whim, 0% chance that was their master plan for the story arc from the onset of the series, ala lost.

Jurassic Park feels like Luddite reactionary politics and the scum sucking lawyer was right, and we run thousands of zoos across the planet containing incredibly deadly animals with only very rare incidents caused by really dumb tourists.

Not unpopular: once you get past the terrible set up, dinosaurs eating people is a good movie.

First person should be the default perspective for films.

'peep show' the movie would be my absolute dream film

just a few alterations though, it's a full blown psychological thriller character study instead of a dark social awkwardness comedy, so no mitch and webb
the main and only pov character lives alone, has no friends or family, is morbidly obese and works a poo poo office bitch job where they're constantly and horrifically bullied
their entire home life consists of eating fast food and aimlessly browsing reddit when they aren't having crippling panic attacks or doubled over in bed with horrible acid reflux and irritable bowel squirms
they have no connects or money so their only addiction is lovely corn beer or malt liquor, whatever's cheaper. the cashier who works at the liquor store hates them and is constantly passive aggressive to them
when they pass random people on the street they go on long paranoid monologues wondering if the things they overhear are secret digs at them. sometimes it's so intense they need to lay down in an alley and think they're dying
at the end they try to commit suicide but just end up quadriplegic with body wide phantom pain

now that would be my kind of movie

If they had used the psycho stalker version of Lola
because "she's a really good player" despite being a danger to Bugs, they could've slipped in a sly little commentary on predation and abuse on the NBA.

But I guess making her boring and having her face on a constant state of allergic reaction works too.

Casting a PoC actor as James Bond is, I think, a bad idea because the core of the franchise is a fundamentally imperialist, sexist relic.

I feel that way about most long-standing characters that get recast to be more diverse, not just in movies, but especially in comics. yes Spiderman is a black teenager and Thor is a woman now or whatever, congratulations, but I'd rather they create new compelling characters that are black teens or women and can hold a franchise for decades, recasting the old ones just shows they lost that paticular mojo and gives away those characters as vehicles to generate capital, infinitely malleable to the spirit of the times; if the cultural pendulum swings back to full-on fascism you bet your rear end all those superheroes will go right back to Aryan übermen.

(which maybe we're there already, if you were serious about it the MCU would have been the chance to build a new Iron Man or Thor character from the ground up with whatever identity you wanted, but they're all still white dudes, shows where the money is)

Under the Skin owns and is another one of those movies.
I found myself agreeing with everything you said on that subject.

Generally I'd rather watch a movie that tries to do its own thing and maybe doesn't quite pull it off than one that's perfectly executed and polished. Mute on Netflix had terrible reviews all around but I really liked it and thought it was memorable. Lost River was super weird but by god it was what Ryan Gosling wanted to do. And so on.

Unrelated to any of the above, an opinion: Guns Akimbo was complete rear end from top to bottom and Boss Level is the much better movie mimicking video games.

-Kill Bill vol 1 is infinitely better than Kill Bill vol 2
-Universal Solider: Regeneration and Universal Solider: Day of Reckoning are among the top 5 action flicks in the past 15 years and the only reason why this opinion is unpopular is that hardly anyone has seen them
-Movies are fun
-Sequels are fine

MCU movies are perfectly fine to watch once for some casual entertainment but don't stand up to repetition in the slightest and the very idea of crafting elaborate theories about them or forming a deep emotional attachment is puzzling, their cultural impact can be measured firmly on the production/merchandise side of things.

totally. dark knight was pretty good but memento and the prestige were on a totally different level. i actually think the success of the dark knight destroyed his brain in some way

here's another unpopular movie opinion

tenet is the best of his pseudo-scifi-wankoff trilogy incl. inception and interstellar
making all the time-reverse action scenes make some kind of sense and look right was actually a serious technical writing and production accomplishment

the others definitely work better as "movies", but, gently caress movies

I'm pretty sure all of the "haha by executing your plan you have furthered my own plan" - "that may be so but furthering your plan was my plan all along" in Dark Knight is completely nonsensical and impossible in terms of what any character would actually have had to sit down and work out as a plan in advance. Nolan was best when he had limitations and low budgets. I remember enjoying Interstellar though.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin


Jurassic Park 3 is the 2nd best Jurassic Park movie because at least it knows exactly what it is.

The Lost World has a few fun set pieces but takes way too long to get to them and is trying to shoehorn in a message about parenthood that completely alters Ian Malcolm and was already done better in the first movie.

Jurassic World wants to be a satire of reboots and corporate synergy but then just falls into embracing those things. There are glimpses of a decent action movie but they're jammed in there with about 6 other scripts all fighting for the spotlight, and generally the dumbest script wins each time.

Jurassic World 2 was dumb as hell but refused to admit this. You have a dinosaur basically wink at the camera before killing a guy, but then end it on a weird somber note with a cloned kid comparing their life to the life of a dinosaur.
