Firstborn posted:-snip- I think Under Siege is still a fun movie, as long as you turn your brain off. Gary Busey is a surprisingly effective antagonist. As far as Seagal himself, he's probably insane and is definitely a terrible person.
To liven the mood, he also doesn't know how to run.

Tato posted:I liked that the Tom Jane Punisher just had him utterly destroy John Travolta at the end. So often in these films, the bad guy is a rich weakling who sends his thugs and his big heavy after the hero, but you have to have a final confrontation anyway, during which the weakling boss inexplicably has the fighting ability to go toe to toe with the hero for a few minutes. I'm thinking of Darkman and John Wick among others (I like those films a lot). I really dug Travolta in that movie, I thought he was a definite highlight. The movie somehow feels padded out, but in all the wrong areas. Give me more gunfights and kicking rear end, and much less footage of the neighbors. Get rid of them entirely. There's also weird scenes where I expected the camera to cut away, and it just..doesn't. It dwells and the whole thing feels really off-putting and poorly edited.

Baka-nin posted:I sincerely recommend watching Pottersville before the ep if you can, it whiplashes between quirky smalltown down on its luck at Christmas hijinks to some things that you probably wouldn't believe if someone was describing the film to you. It's so loving weird, but not a redeemable type of weird. Someone said on the Facebook group that Michael Shannon was doing whatever the opposite of chewing the scenery is, and they're not wrong. He's sleepwalking through this movie. Why does Christina Hendricks want to gently caress a Bigfoot?

I can't decide if the best one was the Christmas Vacation 2 disaster or the kid who sold out his brother after seeing how wind was blowing over Diddy Kong Racing. That wrestling/Diddy Kong racing story owns, it's my favorite story since the karate instructor at blockbuster story. So good. The best Christmas movies is Eyes Wide Shut.

Eric is a great guy, he responded to a question I had on Facebook once and was really cordial about it. The Patreon is totally worth it. The commentaries are good as hell, the Nexus is great, and I love that we're getting a new episode every month. It's okay to like or not like a movie, but it's not okay to be an rear end in a top hat on the internet.

Billy Gnosis posted:Andrew seems to have revealed February's patreon episode on Twitter Man of Steel I'm really interested to see what the boys have to say about it, it sounds like their opinions have soured on it since its release. I think the first twenty minutes on Krypton are genuinely alright. Snyder does big CGI spectacle, and that's all that segment is, so it works without coming off as compromised and cartoony. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is a real mess. Amy Adams could be entirely excised from the movie, but part of that is because she has an embarrassingly bad script. The editing takes a nosedive in the last 45 minutes too. I noticed certain establishing shots were completely missing, and that's even before the horribly disorienting final fight. Michael Shannon is hilariously evil, though, and I dig that. Coheed and Camembert fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Jan 31, 2018 |

SamuraiFoochs posted:Are the commentaries worth anything without syncing them? Has anyone tried that? A lot of the commentaries are based around what's happening on screen. In Rambo, they're remarking on the violence, in Sucker Punch, Andrew is losing it at how bad the movie is, and in Revenge of the Sith, Eric is constantly making note of how many CGI'd lamps are present. I imagine the Star Wars track would be easiest without the visuals, but seriously, there's so many lamps.

The Big Daddy Dispatch just came out, and this month's slate is stacked. They specifically asked people not to spoil what episode 400 will be, but I'm pretty sure some posters in this thread have requested it before.

Cael posted:Can someone who does listen to Blank Check name one or two standout episodes for those of us who might want to check it out (besides the aforementioned Book of Henry)? The Speed Racer and Titanic episodes are excellent, everyone is so enthusiastic about those movies and it really shines through in how they talk about them. David also goes to bat hard for the Matrix sequels, it's fun to compare those to the WHM episode on Revolutions.

Guess they've all been cable viewings where I turned it on 15 minutes in. What the gently caress is that doing in the movie? I've definitely seen this movie more times than I can count, but always on cable, and I also have no recollection of that scene. Does it just get edited out?

If not for the opening 15 minutes and the ending 25, Temple of Doom would have permanently left Spielberg in movie jail. It's terrible. It's mean-spirited, weird and racist. Kate Capshaw gives a bad performance but it all stems from a bad, uncomfortable script that doesn't really know what to do with anyone.Angry_Ed posted:Crystal Skull is, for the most part, properly hitting the beats of 1950s pulp adventure sci-fi (nuclear bombs are easily survivable, communist foes, etc.) The problem is I don't think people really wanted that out of Indy (and also Shia LeBoeuf cosplaying as Marlon Brando This is pretty much my take. I find it to be a fun, silly movie that would be perfect after a tall glass of water. It's really no more goofy than any of the other Indy movies, there's just a lot of bad CGI and Shia is giving a really odd performance. We find out aliens exist, but we also saw the Holy Grail in Last Crusade and the Actual Wrath of God at the end of Raiders. I liked it more than Temple, but I get why people wouldn't.

They've already done Never Say Never Again, Die Another Day, and Goldeneye as a WLM, so I could easily see something like: Diamonds Are Forever (Connery is checked out of the role more than any other actor has ever been) Live and Let Die (Bond does blaxploitation, it's got some good chases but it's real weird) Moonraker (The big bad chews scenery with the best of them and Bond goes to space) Casino Royale (for WLM) Quantum of Solace (I kind of think this is a WLM too, but other people really loving hate it)
