I always thought the the transformers were just plain hard to make out during any action scene. Their bodies (or whatever) look so busy and intricate that my brain can only see a mostly formless mass. edit I've only seen the 1st one and part of the 2nd though.

Extraterrestrial was a big ol' pile of cliches but I was entertained. The last 15-20 minutes of it though were a mostly pleasant surprise.

I saw Critters when I was about 5, and I wouldn't go outside for 2 weeks. My family still brings this up to bust my chops. I'm glad to see someone else had a similar experience.

People are complicated obviously, but I grew up watching these antiwar movies with my dad and even as a child I could tell that they were antiwar films. To this day I'm still not 100% sure why he watched them. He turned 18 in 1971 and it is shocking how little he wants to talk about how he felt about the Vietnam War. Mostly he tells me he is lucky he didn't have to go, but he still loves reading books about war (some which glorify it a bit) and he still likes war movies. My brother in law on the other hand is special forces and he loves talking about going to war and he really loves it. We don't exactly get along, but he is a nice guy so long as we don't discuss politics and military poo poo.

Decided to watch both Richard Stanley movies back to back. Hardware was delightfully strange but totally watchable. Ultimately I would say it wasn't a good movie, but it had a bitchin' soundtrack. I only made it about 20 minutes into Dust Devil before I shut it off because I was so bored.

precision posted:Dust Devil is actually very, very good. It stars the incredibly underrated Robert John Burke (Robocop 2, many Hal Hartley movies) I know I only made it through 1/3 of this movie (and I can usually watch anything) but drat I am not sure how you hold this opinion. I liked Hardware enough though. Please don't tell me I should actually finish Dust Devil. Is it only because you like this actor or does the movie do a 180 and become an interesting film?

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Lord of War just got added to Netflix. If you want to see a great, underrated little movie featuring Nicholas Cage as an international arms dealer, check it out. Just a bitingly cynical protest movie of the kind you don't see very often anymore. Passionate to the point of occasional clumsiness, but at least it's passionate. This was great. Watch it to see that Nic Cage can still act if he wants to.

I think that people forget he was an insane wild man when he first started. Basically he is now known for his acting in hundreds of lovely films that he did just for the money. It's kind of a bummer that he is a punchline now when he can still do some interesting acting.

I am definitely in the minority, but really netflix and hulu have always seemed so cheap to me and they blow even the basic cable package out of the water. I would not mind paying a little more per month to never see an ad again. White God is so good and I have never seen animals "act" so well in any film ever. It is really hard to watch however if you are like me and love dogs. Also it made me feel like such a child because I would nearly cry when an animal was abused or killed, but I felt like cheering when humans were killed.

Good god I looked up the trailer (lol) for Foodfight and it is incredible that this was made in 2012. The animation looks at least 20 years old.

Evil Mastermind posted:One of the reasons the animation is so terrible is because near the end of the project the hard drives containing all the completed work were apparently stolen. If you can find one of the trailers with the original animation, it actually looks pretty decent, like an actual animated movie. The version we have now is the "OH poo poo WE HAVE TO REDO THIS FROM SCRATCH IN LIKE THREE MONTHS" version. I think this is the original trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81uIhu8qrrs I mean, it looks a little better but still unfinished. I am fascinated by the story of this "film" but on y'alls recommendations I will spend my free time with just about any other movie.

I have a (probably incorrect and/or oversimplified) Netflix theory. Traditionally, older people (boomers, whatever) watch crummy tv shows and episodic content more than films. As Netflix got more popular and more people started watching the episodic content available instead of the loads of films, some nerds at Netflix realized that they would make more money trying to be a watered down HBO and buying the rights to less movies. I'm the kind of viewer who watches as many movies as I do traditional tv type programs so I feel I am going to suffer. I don't mind Netflix making more content like they have, but I hope they continue to offer a decent selection of movies too.

Cocoa Ninja posted:If the most important thing to you is catalogue selection then you should really consider DVD / Blu-ray rental. It jacks the price way up but there's a reason a few million people still subscribe — it's the best video store ever. If you're watching a movie every night / every other day it's still an amazing value compared to cable. I rarely get bored with the content on Netflix, but recently I find myself running out of films to watch. I know its just business, but if it gets much worse I may have to drop Netflix someday. Personally I don't feel like paying more for the dvd/bluray thing as I am more of a random binge watcher of films. I'll just wait and see what happens. I can't really trash talk Netflix yet because it is about 90% of what I use my television for.

If you wanna watch a documentary that seems to contain actual SA Goons (not really...I think) then watch The Nightmare. Its about sleep paralysis. I enjoyed it at first, but as it went on I became annoyed by the interviewees and their mental illnesses.

Goddamn quit describing it. It sounds better and better.

I have seen The Devil's Advocate before and I'm sure we've discussed it already but I unironically enjoy it. Everyone is hamming it up especially Pacino (does he even have a different acting style?), and I dare say that even though he is doing an accent and he is still Keanu, I think it is Keanu Reeves' best acting. Also I never noticed the insanely bad green screen work in the party scene where Keanu goes outside to talk to the redhead woman. Goddamn it is jarring and odd.
