ymgve posted:Why do they even bother authenticating it? Wouldn't their doctrine demand destroying all art that evokes emotions, including prints and reproductions? The guys who come in to burn it are in hazmat suits, and they use flamethrowers. No one else is wearing hazmat suits, nor is there any indication of why they would be. The flamethrowers only light the painting, not the wooden floorboards. The logic of Equilibrium is not the logic of thinking things through

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:So's Gina Carano! Who also got cast in a bunch of stuff until she said Forbidden Things. Gadot however has kept her opinions vague, and it’s ok to say you don’t care about Palestinians anyway. Their acting abilities are a tertiary concern to the paymasters

MacheteZombie posted:Its my favorite Refn film Same. The pusher movies are also great but OGF is extremely Refn without feeling like one of these recent Netflix films where they give a director money and say go wild. It’s a tight 90 minutes, and even if I could handle the vibes for longer I appreciate that

The Peccadillo posted:I like Brolin completely trying to ignore his cosmic hole and having no idea what it's deal is in Outer Range despite getting shoved down into an alternate Nazi world by his rambler and then shot in the leg after being told by his alternaye reality wife that he's dead and has to run and diving back into the cosmic hole. He's really not concerned. He's just like 'well that was a thing but I got a ranch to run and a family to help out' wait outer range is a show about mel's hole?

Starks posted:I'm not surprised Netflix is getting rid of all the things that were once good about it. Their competitors are doing week-to-week episodes, have way less content for the price, have trailers at the beginning of shows, upsell you on extra channels, ignore foreign language and older films, and they are still making tons of money. The success of Disney and Apple+ despite how poo poo they are really just shows that you only need one, maybe 2 big shows a season to get people to pay 10-20 bucks for your streaming service and nothing else matters. Between the Witcher, Bridgerton, Drive to Survive, Squid Game et al, I have a feeling Netflix will do just fine as a company even if it pisses me off personally. but those services don't cost 10-20 bucks. they cost like 5-10.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Also yes RRR was an incredibly fun spectacle. Anime as gently caress, sometimes felt like videogame cinemas. Like, Metal Gear Lagaan. I do feel like it lagged a bit after a while, it's long as gently caress and could use some editing but hey it keeps you entertained pretty regularly. The loving dance-off, the loving...everything!!! It's hard not to love a movie where this many white guys die in funny ways, even if it is propagandistic as hell (that final song lmao). the funniest part is the montage sequence where a song explains the concept of "dramatic stakes" like the people in the audience have no idea what a story is

yoohoo posted:The developers are a couple of nobodies and the guy behind the first two episodes also directed a Jurassic World movie. For the next 12 hours I’m taking every review with an Amazon sized grain of salt. JA Bayona is great director, you could have said the guy who directed the orphanage, or the best episodes of Penny dreadful, or A Monster Calls if you weren’t grinding an axe

Maxwell Lord posted:Yeah the first big rush sequence is just "Shake the camera around to make it disorienting" (and as I said I suspect this was a way to avoid having to show more violence than the studio would have tolerated.) The music in that sequence is great though. Literally the only positive memory I have of that movie

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Legend Of Dinosaurs & Monster Birds is the best movie ever made about prehistoric animals, but the title is entirely erroneous. The creatures are reptiles, not dinosaurs. lol fair enough. did you know it was a giant hit in the USSR and sold what would be like 600 million dollars of tickets at modern US prices

Glottis posted:They're more like "ghost stories" than straight up horror, which is something he explicitly leaned into for Midnight Club, and that's a part I personally really like. I do think he is capable of making a pretty great Dark Tower series, though I'm sure it won't please everyone. Flanagan is always and everywhere restrained and tasteful. To pull off Dark Tower he's going to have to do the exact of opposite of his instincts in every way

mcmagic posted:OP is upset that the desert movie is brown probably didn't help that i watched lawrence of arabia a few days before and denis's desert photography...suffers in comparison Sirotan posted:Honestly I was just bored by it. It looked good and had a couple scenes I really loved (throat singing Sardaukar? ) but otherwise it just...didn't get weird enough for me! It didn't help that movies split into two parts sucks and leaves me feeling ultimately unfulfilled when I walk out of the theater. yeah it's just not very weird, there's tons of expository dialogue and yet still not enough to understand what's going on, the space politics are cut to the absolute bone, the sword fights are painfully generic when the goofball premise of the shields opens a space to make them into something totally unique. great sounding movie though.

theflyingexecutive posted:It's such a Michael Schur thing that he wrote a whole show about how every person on Earth is actually inherently good and just wants to be friends with everybody else on Earth. Even the literal embodiments of evil who take sadistic joy in mutilating and dismembering people are redeemed by the end of the series. That's just the guy's philosophy. i haven't seen much parks and rec but i'm having some trouble imagining who you could be referring to
