coyo7e posted:No. Watch Best Worst Movie instead, because it is really good and very possibly could make you a Troll 2 fan. Dear god, please watch this movie. It's fantastic. And if you want to be able to watch Troll 2 not simply as an exercise in irony, but actually enjoy the film, you should absolutely see it. Also while we're on the topic of movies about movies, let me heartily recommend The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, which is perfect if you, like me, were in a bit of a funk that, surprisingly, could only be treated with a psychoanalytical/philosophical exploration of film and society at large.

precision posted:Smokin' Aces is the poor man's Shoot 'Em Up. Holy poo poo Shoot 'Em Up was awesome. Thanks for reminding me about this fantastic movie. Definitely rewatching this soon. I'll give Stretch a shot but I'm definitely cautious cause I'm not a fan of Patrick Wilson myself either. He just has a really punchable face

Drunk Tomato posted:Should have mentioned this earlier, but Oscar nominee movie "Nebraska" is up and it is a beautiful and stark film. Highly recommended. Though it is a little sad, especially if like me you are scared of aging or if you have aging parents. It's on US netflix too. just added it to my list.

coyo7e posted:My biggest issue with Stretch was that it felt like the equivalent of cotton candy. It starts off sweet and novel and then by the end it's just this lump of overly-spun sugar that was all spit out by assembly line, and it's mostly full of air. The romantic "twist" was stupid and more than a bit creepy - who the gently caress spends their time between death threats and gun fights, texting to anonymous women with no pictures via dating websites? He should've been in Sex Anonymous or something. Yeah, I can definitely see where you're getting that from. The cotton candy analogy is pretty spot on. Sometimes you just want some cotton candy, though! Also, I agree, the whole romantic plotline was stupid and unnecessary but I felt it was pretty minor/benign up until the final reveal. So just pretend the movie ended 2 minutes earlier than it actually did and you're good.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:thre's a zero percent chance that Airplane! isn't funnier than your favorite comedy Honestly I don't have a favorite comedy. I don't actually think most comedies are any good. Humor is great in non-comedy films, and I love TV comedies, stand-up, etc., but I just don't think the comedy genre of film is necessary or entertaining.

Yeah I mean it can be fun to sit down and watch a comedy with friends. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some humorless prick who lacks the ability to laugh (well, not entirely). I just don't think they're particularly memorable and even the best comedy movies are usually poo poo compared to decent comedy television (Bob's Burgers, Parks & Rec, Archer, Arrested Development, Always Sunny, early Community, to name a few shows currently on Netflix). E: Okay yeah Dr. Strangelove rocked. Peter Sellers is one of the few actors capable of making good, memorable comedic films. Also Airplane! just seems like a classic example of pandering to the lowest common denominator, which can be fun for action flicks but is insufferable for comedies, imo.

Wolfsheim posted:I get wanting to do drugs and have sex with beautiful woman constantly, but the whole "being openly hostile to my family, co-workers and friends constantly" doesn't sound terribly appealing? Don't get me wrong, I don't seriously want to be Jordan Belfort, or else I'd currently be working on Wall Street instead of doing what I am doing. I'm just saying that, to me, at least while watching it, the net effect was glamorization, not condemnation.

Maxwell Lord posted:I think even in the arenas of sex and drugs, there's a sense of vomitous excess. They're not just having sex with beautiful women, but after a while deliberately banging the cheapest and scuzziest streetwalkers they can find. Near the end Jordan's paying a woman to shove things up his rear end and treat him like dirt because that's the only way he can get off. And similarly the drugs, it's not enough to get high, he has to completely lose all motor control. I get what you're saying, and on an intellectual level I completely agree but I'd be lying if I didn't leave the theater thinking "goddamn I would love to be obscenely wealthy." And honestly, given the option now, I would still take it. Maybe I'm just a lovely person, though

Chichevache posted:Leftism and capitalism are pretty strongly tied imo. I'm not talking Democratic party, but actual leftist (i.e. socialist/anarchist/whatever). I used the term "left" instead of "liberal" to try and clarify that but I suppose I could've been more clear: My politics are very much anti-capitalist. Anyway, back on topic: Earlier in this thread someone mentioned The Double. Worth watching? Looks interesting, so I might check it out unless a bunch of people say I shouldn't. dik-dik fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Dec 15, 2014 |

NESguerilla posted:Can someone recommend me a decent horror movie? I've watched a handful, but most of these random horror films I haven't heard of are like gambling with my time. I watched and enjoyed The Den and that movie where the guy is trying to get his friend off of meth. Not a fan of Ti West. Of what's available on Netflix, my favorite horror movie would be Let The Right One In. If you want satire/comedy horror, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a really fun movie that I would also highly recommend. If you can find it in theaters or streaming somewhere (I hear it might be on iTunes?), The Babadook is a really, really good movie. Also if you haven't seen The Cabin in the Woods, you should see that, and I also really liked Drag Me to Hell (sadly none of these movies are on Netflix but they're probably on other streaming services).

Might just rent that off Amazon I hear it's good. Well then do you have any recommendations for good horror, Netflix or no? After watching The Babadook I'm in the mood for more.

precision posted:Nick Cave songs feature in every episode, not just "Red Right Hand". Also later you get PJ Harvey and some other awesome stuff. I think the music fits the mood perfectly. I mean it's not like they're using "Get Ready For Love", they use Nick Cave songs that are supposed to sound like "old British stuff" anyway. Wait, Nick Cave is on the soundtrack? Jesus it's like they straightup made this show just for me. I can't wait to binge on this poo poo when this exam week ends.

To everyone in this thread who recommended The Double—thank you! That movie rocked. Was a little confused by the ending but a quick wiki search cleared that up.NESguerilla posted:I'm trying to watch Under the Skin and I don't think even ScoJo boobs are going to get me through this in one sitting. Like, it's shot really well and has a few great scenes but I'm like 3/4 of the way through and it's just so slow and non sensical that I keep getting distracted. Where'd you find it? It's not streaming on Netflix, sadly.
