The Last Duel on HBO Max gets a mixed review from me. Matt Damon isn't a good enough actor to pull off what he's trying to do, and isn't helped by his rubbish, inconsistent accent. It's Kevin Costner as Robin Hood tier. The color grading is also annoying, I thought we finished with that poo poo a decade ago. And the overall story flow is choppy and rushed.

On the other hand, the story itself is interesting and pulls off a clever, Rashomon-esque presentation. And -- and I know you're not going to believe this -- Ben Affleck is remarkable in his role. Easily his best performance. He transforms into his role in a way I never would have thought possible.

The battle scenes and the titular duel are fantastic -- raw, brutal, intense.

Worth a watch.

There's a The Last Duel thread if you wanna post about it some more. There's a really cool article about the movie in the thread.

It was definitely one of the best movies to come out last year

I said this in another thread but Diamond Dallas Page as an unhinged Batman is a lot of fun in Guardians of Justice.

it was sick as gently caress, but you gotta be used to Refn's other movies. it ends on the psychotic Twin Peaks-esque antagonist singing a really beautiful Thai karaoke song and ties up the movie perfectly.

Its my favorite Refn film

Plex's paid service only unlocks more features like better quality transcoding, hdr tone mapping, the types of users that you can share you plex with (I think free only let's you add 'managed' users like a basic account you'd make for grandma or something). I think you can only use the mobile apps if you subscribe but I'm not 100% sure.

I bought a lifetime pass way back when plex first launched and it's been an incredible service and I just use it for my own stuff and share mine with friends.

I got 30 minutes into The Sandman before I was bored to tears. I dunno, maybe I just chose a bad day to start it. Decided to check out Ash vs Evil Dead for the first time instead and I'm digging it so far.

It took me a couple episodes to warm up to sandman, so you made the right call, AvED is great from the jump

As a fan of RZ, Munsters looks like crap but I hear it works as a family friendly extremely light horror/comedy. I might give it a whirl with my kiddo watching but if she's not into it I don't plan to watch it alone.

I dont mind midnight club but it's dragging its feet so hard and full flanaganisms. If you thought midnight mass was some peak Flanagan he deffo did a "hold my beer" bit on this one. The acting isn't also as good as Mass so it's more noticeable imo. Honestly the central gimmick of the kids telling each other stories is the worst part of the show lol just give me more of the spooky cult stuff

I just watched Peacemaker earlier this year and drat it is great. I recommend it to everyone.

And 100% agree on the opening

Has anyone watched the new VHS movie by chance? I loved the first two but they kind of fell off after that.

Vhs 3 is the worst, vhs 94 is a return to form but doesn't quite hit the highs of 2, haven't seen vhs 99 yet

Haven’t watched the new one, but I was feeling spoopy on Sunday and watched the original Hellraiser on HBOmax. Aside from some neat practical effects it’s a horrible movie, no idea why it got all the sequels. I also hated the lead actors, especially the dad.

Wow wrong

I thought everyone in cinema discusso loved it when it came out?

It was pretty well regarded iirc, always some people that didn't enjoy a flick though. I thought it was very pretty and well cast but I didn't really care for the secret child plot stuff. Absolutely love the drone strike while she gets her nails done scene

If you're looking for cool found footage you should check out Noroi: The Curse by Koji Shiraishi on amc+/shudder, netflix also has a cool one called Incantation.

Black Summer is so good. I did get whiplash going from z nation to black summer tho lol

Name Change posted:

The bleak and emotional genocide aftermath of Black Summer is something that the Walking Dead's soap opera stopped even aspiring to. The Walking Dead is only bleak if you are engaged with doctor highlander. The long take action sequences in Black Summer are also a full tier above.

John Hyams directed a bunch of episodes which explains why the action is so good. Dude knows how to shoot brutal action
