My favorite Michaels!

I heard about this a while back, but I'd completely forgotten about it in the meantime. Looks like it could be good, but I'll watch Michael Shannon be a creepy weirdo in just about anything.

Dogtooth and Killing of a Sacred Deer both rule. I think the Lobster is my favorite out of the three since it's the funniest, but they're all pretty great. Haven't seen Alps yet, but I've also heard it's kind of meh.

Disney wants to appeal to new audiences, not just people in their 20's or 30's who have already seen all their movies. I haven't seen any of their other live-action remakes and I'm not planning on seeing this one, but I can certainly see why a 5 year old kid in 2018 would want to. I wouldn't expect most young kids to really give a poo poo about all my favorite movies that came out decades before they were born.

A movie having a dumb premise doesn't really mean much to me either way. Although I wouldn't even really say this has a dumb premise, at least not noticeably more-so than most other horror movies.

The tone of this is completely bizarre.

I love bizarre tones and tonal whiplash, especially when it’s about true events. Besides I thought Bundy was supposed to be reasonably charismatic and charming, so it doesn’t really seem that weird to me in the first place.

I agree with you guys who are saying they're going for the "Ted Bundy was a charmer" route. I just don't think the trailer is particularly successful. I think the biggest problem is that the music is terrible. It sounds like the soundtrack that should play during a movie about a zany heist.

Yeah, I can see that. I didn't particularly care for the music choice and the editing for the text. I liked what it showed of the actual movie though. I've always been a fan of Zac Efron for some reason I don't fully comprehend, so I've been looking forward to this one.

I was slightly too old to be much of a Dora fan when it first started, but I’m kind of into this. I already knew about Benicio Del Toro and Danny Trejo doing voices but I had no idea Michael Pena was in this too!

Didn't really get a whole lot out of this, but I'm a Barry Keoghan fan and I also really enjoy reading about radiation sickness, so I'll probably give it a watch.

I don't care about Joker or Batman or any other freakin comic book poo poo, but Joaquin Phoenix rules hard, so I'll watch it. If it was literally anyone else I doubt I would even slightly care about this. Zazie Beetz and Marc Maron are cool too.

I agree with you on Phoenix going the distance and always being watchable, but didn't he do some over-the-top-Kaufman poo poo for I'm Still Here?

Yeah, and a lot of people somehow genuinely believed that he'd gone crazy, quit acting, and decided to be a terrible rapper.

He did, but he also had Casey Affleck following him around with a camera the entire time, so it wasn't exactly a mystery what he was doing. Why he did it, I'm not really sure, but I haven't seen I'm Still Here so maybe it's actually good.

Oh, I should check it out at some point then. I remember it being rather poorly received, although it seemed a lot of the bad reception was because people were mad about him not being upfront that it was a character and stuff was staged. Even though that was the obvious conclusion.

I've decided to just watch whatever Kristen Stewart does even if it doesn't look super interesting because I love her and she is mega cool. Laura Dern rules too.

I liked Whiplash a lot but really wished it was someone besides Miles Teller. Something about him really rubs me the wrong way and even though I like Refn a lot I'm not sure I can watch this much of Miles.

The guy’s face just annoys me. I have a very visceral dislike towards it. He’s a good enough actor though.

It's never going to get more mad than Dexter, which started with Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter getting into a relationship while playing siblings onscreen and ended with the writers trying to add an incest storyline between their characters after the two of them had divorced.

I remember reading about Dexter getting all incesty but that was long after I stopped watching it. I know the characters weren’t actually biologically related, but if that’s the best defense you have maybe just don’t do it. I didn’t know that about the actors though, that’s loving weird.

I’m not into splitting hairs, I consider hooking up with your adopted sibling that you’ve been raised with since a young age to still be incest, but maybe I’m just behind the times.

Looks very pretty but, once again, a trailer with no characters actually talking to eachother... weird choice.

That's how it's going to be in the movie. Every time a character opens its mouth to start talking they just cut to a voiceover played over some nature documentary stock footage.

I liked that they got a creepy weird looking dude to play the space action man. I also just like DeHaan in general and find Chris Pratt to be off-putting in basically everything outside of Parks & Rec. Actually, a fair amount of Parks & Rec too now that I'm thinking about it.

Looks great except for the 'inspirational' music. Hopefully that's just for the trailer.

Anyone know what's happening with that semi-autobiographical Shia movie where he plays his own dad or something? I remember that getting good buzz, but it seems to have gone quiet this year.

It’s apparently been picked up by Amazon with a release date in November.

I’m a pretty big Shia fan. I watch his “DO IT! JUST DO IT!” video on a regular basis. Probably my favorite work of his.

But, it's like, have you seen the original CATS? This isn't a Sonic situation here, the originals CATS was weird as poo poo too.

Everything about CATS, top to bottom, is messed up. Even the names sound wrong. “Jellicles” and “Rum Tum Tugger”? Everything about it is immediately offputting in a way I can’t quite articulate.

Nightcrawler is probably my fave performance of his, although I'm also a big Detective Loki fan. I didn't care a whole lot for Velvet Buzzsaw overall but I would absolutely watch something just about Morf.

No, that actually seems to be Werner Herzog.

I’m assuming this is another Jack Reacher situation where the producers are like “You know who would be sick in this role? Werner Herzog!“ as a joke, but then someone calls him up and he’s just like “yeah ok”

On this site alone there's tons of times I've seen someone post "so-and-so is a JERK" and when they get pressed on their reasons, it's something like "I caught them on the way out of a theater and they were VERY distracted and would not pose for a picture with me"

The only "celebrity x is an rear end in a top hat" complaints that I pay attention to are if they're rude to the crew. I don't give a poo poo if they don't want to talk to some random stranger on the street.

Most of the bad reviews I've read for Jojo Rabbit are either against the very concept of the movie, which I don't care about at all, or actually read like positive reviews, so I'm looking forward to it even more now.

The Lighthouse is absolutely going to rule though, gently caress I want to see that.
