We'll always have a handful of young film nerds like the Safdie brothers and whatnot at the fringes, but when it comes to blockbusters expect them only to get more video game-like.

Mandolorian is at least very classically paced, not just from syndicated shows like Xena and Hercules but the Fugitive and Route 66.

mandalorian related because i just watched the last episode my description above was for the 1st or 2nd episode but also absolutely applies in every way to the last episode too. what a weird and mediocre show; it feels like i was a part of some focus group for watching it and i can't really explain why

I get what you mean about the focus group too: if I’d been specially selected to watch this a year ago, with the caveat that it was a visual story board that still needed a ton of edits and inserts, an actual soundtrack, effects polishing, and a complete story overhaul, I’d have been extremely impressed. Good things include the baby, Werner, the Ughnaught, the robot, and the speeder troopers. The set design and decoration and the costumes were all on point too. Bad things, almost everything else. Lots of poor cgi work, incomprehensibly bad music choices, Gina and Carl, the ‘simple people of the land’ episode, making the jailbreak boring with that cast, the pathetic rpg ‘gain companions, level up your gear’ feeling throughout, and, most egregiously, that the initial episode predicament ‘bad guy wants thing’ was resolved eight episodes later with the thrilling ‘slightly more powerful bad guy wants thing’.

Is there a movie where one of the Hemsworth brothers is playing a very insecure version of themselves and starts to break down any time one of the more successful ones is mentioned?

Are you thinking of The Good Place (season 3 I think), where Tahani was in a relationship with "Larry Hemsworth", the 4th Hemsworth brother?

There was a post-apocalyptic action movie that I saw on VHS no less than 17 years ago. Late '90's or early 2000's. The apocalyptic scenario is that the great earthquake that separated the California land mass from the rest of the continent finally occurred, and everything had been turned to desert. One dude, the protagonist, was wandering around the desert for some reason. There was a prison full of prisoners that had rioted and taken control of the prison, but they had nowhere else to live so they all stayed inside this prison. They had no water since it was a desert so the all stood shoulder to shoulder in the prison yard and passed around a bottle of piss that they all would variously piss into or drink from. A loudspeaker blared information at them in a very 1984-like sequence. Eventually the prisoners leave the prison to pursue the protagonist for some reason (I think)?

This is probably going to wind up being something stupid or embarrassing. I heard a song on a show I liked and looked into the band, Superorganism, and found this song, Everybody wants to be famous I’ve definitely heard it before but for the life of me I can’t think of where. It feels like I’ve heard it often enough that must be a commercial or credits song for something, but nothing comes up for me when I search. Is this ringing bells for anyone?

I've been trying to find a horror movie I remember flipping past on TV once; it was a woman alone in a haunted house or cabin on a large body of water (I think she leaves in a boat at one point?) and the conceit was that the audience could see the ghosts, but the woman couldn't (so there were like jump scares where the woman is walking around and there's just some random pale white-eyed dude in the corner watching her, or like he leans down and blows out her candle etc.). Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Price Check posted:There's water/boat stuff in What Lies Beneath. She's alone for a lot of the movie too. This looks a bit closer, but I distinctly remember a male ghost with whited out eyes watching the woman from a corner while she does stuff. Thanks though!

I remember a short film I saw on IFC years and years ago about a bunch of old men hiking in some germanic speaking country and they all get stuck one by one in a bog or something and resign themselves to die. I remember liking it but not if it was actually you know good. I think it might be noregian, danish or swedish but not positive

What bicycle racing movie has a character who is obsessed with Italian cyclists, to the point he shaves his legs? During the climax he gets to race against Italians, but they sabotage his bike.Torquemada posted:There should be a fifth brother, Chad Hemsworth, who’s super handsome and ripped. And he's dating me!

I saw a movie in the early to mid-2000s that I think was relatively new at the time, which was a version of Romeo and Juliet, where one of the title characters was Japanese, the other was a Brazilian immigrant to Japan, and the whole thing was written against the backdrop of the acrimonious relationship between Japan and its immigrant populations. Does that sound at all familiar to anyone? Google's been remarkably unhelpful.
