Last of 2016: Out of Sight (rewatch) or Fences if it's the last thing I hadn't seen before - really happy with either of those as a close-out. First of 2017: Midnight Special which was really underwhelming. Magic Hate Ball posted:Yojimbo is so good. My first movie was a terrible David Blaine special that someone at the party put on. He poked an icepick through his arm multiple times and it was extremely gross. That special thoroughly rules. David Blaine pushing an icepick through his arm and giggling to punish Ricky Gervais for not reacting more to him sticking the card on the ceiling was sublime.

I'm totally checking out Dark Archie this weekend though. DC Murderverse posted:I'm watching a really disgusting episode of SVU and man, James Van Der Beek deserves to be a star.

Gorman Thomas posted:What the heck Soderberg's Solaris is actually good and it has Clooney's rear end??!?!! I took a Russian film class in college and by far the highlight was at the pre-Solaris viewing lecture where the professor, a big Zizek-looking guy, said that the Soderbergh version was good "if you like the Clooney" in the most contemptuous voice imaginable.

Semi-related to this - if you do have a turntable, how many records do you have to own for it not to be weird? I was talking about this with a friend like a year ago and they said just one, and I think that's total bullshit. Lurdiak posted:Wanna hang out with that professor. It was Ilya Kutik, searching around to see if he was still teaching the class I just learned he was on a stamp.

Skwirl posted:How did Pushing Tin get made? It's not terrible or anything like that, but what studio head said "let's make a movie with John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton as feuding air traffic controllers"? Honestly the premise is the third weirdest thing about Pushing Tin, behind having Cate Blanchett do a Long Island accent and the weird CGI shots of the planes passing over Cusack/Thornton and them getting launched backwards like ragdolls.

ruddiger posted:I'm glad that the horrific violence that's plagued Chicago the past few years is prime material for both a non-satirical Robocop show and a laugh track sitcom. I'm really curious to see the portrayal of Uptown - from what I've read they're talking about rapid gentrification and that's surprising to me. I moved into an apartment there in like August 2015 and as long as I've been here, it's seemed like a real shithole, albeit one where I can get the cheapest convenient apartment

I forget what the first movie that I thought was crap in the theater was, but I remember the first and only time a movie literally bored me to sleep in a theater (Alexander) and the first and only time that I wanted to just leave instead of finishing something out (Stealth; I pretended to take a bathroom break for like twenty minutes and wandered into the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake). That was a span of about a year between 2004-2005 where I also saw Son of the Mask on like opening night. I disliked it less than either of those iirc

I'd 100% agree with that, but stuff like the gymnastics scene in 5 keep me coming back. I'm a total sucker for stuff like that.

If I'm talking about diegetic music in a movie I use diegetic, but I don't think I've ever used the term in any other context. vOv More importantly, I finally started up Dark Archie and I'm really digging it. I hope Archie stays as much of a complete pud as he is so far, the contrast between him and all the other Dark Teens rules.

My favorite theater reaction was a 1-2 punch seeing Interstellar like opening weekend. There was an ~80 year old lady sitting directly behind us, and when Michael Caine is first introduced at the big NASA table with the sweeping music she yelled out a disgusted "JESUS CHRIST" and as soon as the credits rolled she said "That was the worst poo poo I've seen in my life" at full volume.

Maybe do something like this and just overload it with ham?CPL593H posted:This one is perfectly appropriate. God that movie was a pile of trash. Hearing her trash it like that was the silver lining to seeing it that night. I went with two other friends and we settled on that because I saw Birdman like three days beforehand, one friend saw Nightcrawler the previous week, and we were either going to miss the first half an hour of Whiplash or wait two hours for the next one. For the last hour or so there might as well have been a loop of Lincoln yelling "Now you hosed up!" from that one WKUK sketch playing.

DC Murderverse posted:Music Box in Chicago is the best that I've ever been to. They do their 70mm festival every year, they show great movies all the time, and they do cool special event stuff as well. Plus they show as many movies as they can in 35mm. I think one of the biggest turnarounds I've had on a movie is going from watching Dune on a crappy TV with like three people not knowing what I was going into to watching Dune at the Music Box with a game crowd.
