The first movie I watched this year turned out to be The Hunt for Red October which still kicks rear end.

Hitchcock was an extremely funny dude and even when he was making high art he never let that get in the way of making sure the audience was entertained.

Whole movie in the trailer, down to who dies and when, and who saves the day

I can’t get a read on Sofia Coppola and I know her movies all suffer from afluenza but they’re more interesting than 99% of the trash that comes out

You should watch The Righteous Gemstones. He's incredible as Uncle Baby Billy on there.

Yo check it out: people tried to steal the last presidential election. the same people talk about stealing one in five months from now, and they openly talk about cancelling the next election after that. Have a nice day.

Yes, that's "why has the movie civil war broke so many brains in this thread" and all over the internet. i'm glad u could follow this simple logic with only one primitive guttural noise that's commonly associated with the mentally underdeveloped.

The one where they said he died but it was actually his wife that died today.

I liked it, but it felt like a extra long segment from one of the VHS movies.

you're right that it sucked. i don't think the narration at the beginning was a mistake though, in fact i thought the first act was very well done and it was believable as a 70s talk show. the real problems with the movie are that the backstage scenes (why are they in black and white?) were completely pointless and destroyed the tension of whether it was supposed to be a hoax, and that we're supposed to care about the emotional journey of the host to the point where we follow his perspective instead of the studio cameras. it's a cinematic recreation of ghostwatch that's somehow even lamer and misses the point of what made it so good

So apparently Season 2 of Velma came out and In case you were wondering who the big murderer of the season turns out to be, an evil Scrappy Doo. Yes, they're doing that.

His whole deal is that he kills people and tears the balls out because he was involved in this military experiment that went horribly wrong, and he wants to kill everyone involved in it.
He also wants to find Uncle Scooby.

Oh yeah, they're finally going to bring Scooby-Doo into the show.
In case any of you were hoping he would be spared from this piece of a poo poo show, well, too bad.

Turn out Scooby Doo is..... a woman named Sophie.

Now in case you're wondering who the gently caress would watch this show and who the gently caress is Sophie.

To make a long, stupid story short, Sophie was a female military officer who was assigned a job (and I'm not joking when I say this) to observe meddling kids solving mysteries while disguised as a waitress.
She hated the job, but one day, while observing kids watching dog videos, she had the idea of creating a talking dog (there was also this side plot of being Velma's stepmom, but it ultimately doesn't matter because nothing matters in this show).

She then disguised herself as a leather man in a mask to get her project going.

Why the disguised, you may ask?
Because this show likes to pretend women have it so much harder than men do despite the fact they constantly bring up that women the most brilliant beings in the world, yet they still like to pretend they're victims of an oppressive society despite them taking every opportunity to poo poo on men for free, epically Fred the only character they didn't race swap.

Anyways, to get back on track, her big project of creating talking dogs went to poo poo when Scrappy kept killing people, and the army couldn't kill him because, apparently, he's bulletproof (don't try making sense of this, the writers certainly didn't) Sophie would then spend all her time covering up all of the Scrappy murders and then try to escape to protect her family.

So after the mystery was revealed, they basically changed EVERYTHING about Scooby.
Scrappy tries to kill everyone, but through the power of bullshit and plot contrivance, they finally kill him.
But not only does Scrappy die, but Velma does as well.

Yeah, she dies!
The show kills her off and then has her kill Scrappy as a ghost. Oh and the original designs of Daphne and Velma appear in one episode.

went to the alamo to see "the last stop in yuma county" from freshman director francis galluppi. a strangers-in-a-room desert crime thriller that wears its influences on its sleeve (coincidentally, it's almost thirty years to the day since the release of tarantino's "pulp fiction").

it was middling, and I'm baffled by the positive reviews it's getting. the references to tarantino (and specifically pulp fiction) are crassly obvious, yet the dialogue and editing have none of the pep. there's very little tension at any given time; the characters are exactly what they are shown to be from their introduction, and none of them are interesting. there's no intrigue or politicking between characters, nothing to drive the scenes forward. when the big powder keg goes off it feels lifeless. gave me flashbacks to bad times at the el royale, except this is even more bland.

it looks really good; shouting out dp mac fisken and production designer charlie textor for a superb display of their abilities, since the look of the film is the only thing you can latch onto as enjoyable. I can so clearly see the good version of this film in my head, the only they needed to change was the script.
