BlacKkKlansman was great up until the scooby doo climax. Two hours of a suspenseful caper, interesting debate about how to fight racism and an examination of how pop culture shapes society, and 15 minutes of phony situations so we could get a Hollywood climax.

Bullet Train 3/5 Pretty funny and clever plot twists but requires a massive amount is suspension of disbelief and being able to overlook cultural weirdness. It’s easy to accept insane coincidences and turns of luck, but harder to swallow that a bunch of hit men are punching and strangling each other without the other passengers noticing or that most of the passengers on a train in Japan are white.

Watching Mother right now (the Bong Joon Ho one). I put off watching it for a long time because I thought it looked boring, totally regret it now Edit: finished. Movie gets an A- People have said some directors make many movies and some directors make one movie, over and over. For the most part, Bong Joonho makes one movie: the search for truth. But he makes it great every time Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Feb 1, 2023 |

Bottom Liner posted:The Menu was a lot of fun but not cohesive or tight enough to be great. Very close though. Ralph Fiennes is a real gem though. I had a lot of fun. Yeah, not perfect but I give it a 4/5 Weirdly feels like it belongs in a box set with Hereditary, The VVitch and Midsommar. They even got the composer from Hereditary!

Leave the World Behind Starts off promising with the world falling apart and some interesting racial tension about how successful black people still have to appease white people. Unfortunately the movie goes in a well-worn direction in the second half and becomes a modern adaptation of The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. Black and white Americans need to band together to fight the real enemy: foreigners Update: 2/5 Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Dec 30, 2023 |

SCheeseman posted:The enemy in LTWB are the super rich, who are architecting the collapse of societal order to create a power vacuum. The main characters all get along in the end because they realize they're being manipulated, the contradiction in the information the dropped propaganda flyers are conveying leading them to believe they're just a tool to rile them up. The characters discuss this on screen. The ending also isn't quite as bleak as it appears given that the event seems to happen during the ending episodes of Mr Robot and that implies that there is still some societal stability, hospitals are working. True, it slipped my mind that they were behind it all But even so the “we should get along” message is what people take away from it because that’s what 95% of the movie is strongly focused on

Never seen a NOES. Maybe I should start. Which is the last good one I saw Friday the 13th #1 a few years ago and was surprised to find out that the mask didn’t become part of the canon until 3. 1 was surprisingly good! Great twist!

This movie: Deniro giving a really heartfelt monologue about his place in the world Also this movie: shirtless sweaty Branagh jumping all over his lab equipment like it was a Ninja Warriors obstacle course

Bottom Liner posted:I'll never get over the direct rip off of not just the one, but BOTH of the climactic moments of Avengers Endgame. The lone soldier staring down the overwhelming enemy forces when the good guy reinforcements show up behind him and triumphant music swells, then the "I am inevitable" "and I am Ironman" - "I am all the sith" "and I am all the Jedi". I was groaning through the entire lovely ending. Hmm. You know how they say when AI models start copying each other, it becomes a model collapse? Maybe something similar happens when movies keep copy too many moments from each other

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Haven't seen it yet but I thought I'd venture that sometimes the absence of a readily identifiable ideology is itself the hallmark of an ideological position, that is, cultural signifiers that support a loose affection for the status quo, even if they don't seem all that coherent as a position. Maybe I'll have a hotter take in a few days. One of the things my screenwriting professor said that stuck with me is that you can’t help but reveal your worldview in your writing. Although she never said it, I would think that lack of a position would also be revealed in your writing (Or it could be an intentional avoidance of stating a position despite having one)
