Is Reacher as good as Warrior? I've only seen the latter and it's top tier action TV

Uncle Boogeyman posted:i thought the big shift the last season of Barry took was a huge miscalculation but the first three and a half or so seasons were so good I gave up about halfway through the fourth season and think I was right to do so A lot of shows end so poorly it's better not to stick them out. BCS is a good example I mostly stopped watching TV after flipping out about game of thrones and Mr robot ending so awful. Movies, worst case you're just out a few hours

SMG, what issues did you have with the first Aquaman and how were they addressed in A2?

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Aquaman 1 was a troubled production, where they evidently had to make a lot of changes in pre-production and beyond. You can get a sense of the original concept by watching the darn Snyder Cut, where the Aquaman is a bitter alcoholic because of his exile from the land of straightfaced science fantasy. When 'grimdark' became a meme, the studio obviously panicked at the premise of 'bitter alcoholic Aquaman' and consequently tried to 'lighten the tone' through such methods as literally just dialing up the saturation by 50%. The biggest change was, of course, making Aquaman into a wisecracking party doofus who loves beer in a goofy way. Thanks for the detailed writeup.

The Peccadillo posted:Assassin 33 AD. hosed up they didn't call it like The Last Gospel or something The wildest part of that movie is one guy being like wait, Jesus just spoke to me in English. That's completely impossible, we are a thousand years before our language, oh poo poo he's actually the son of God. And the other character is just like nah, it's a coincidence! And the plot moves forward

Ghost Leviathan posted:I think it also might be a bunch of movies like Sonic that aimed for a Christmas release but got delayed ended up releasing then and did great. I think Hollywood outsmarts itself with release dates and eventually a popular movie gets a "bad" date and does just fine. I had to check but it looks like August didn't really have a big movie until 2001's Rush Hour 2, which honestly seems like a weird release date for that after the first one's success.

Gatts posted:Saw Fighter and man, the India propaganda and nationalism and whatnot lately in their blockbusters is high to cartoonish levels. Shouldn't be surprised tho considering how many American movies I've seen. I'm going to have to catch it, where'd you see it?. Padukone is incredible in Pathaan & Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan, I'm interested to see how she does with Roshan who is even better looking. I have to admit I'm more jealous of Khan & Roshan's hair than anything else. How do they do it?! Edit: don't spoil that Tiger 3 moment! It's the most incredible scene I've seen in years because I couldn't believe they were going to commit to the bit but then, wow, they did trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Gatts posted:I saw it at a Cinemark theater. The one I like often has international films play Well heck, I just found out there's a "cine lounge" by me that plays nothing but foreign movies like this and has fighter. Maybe I can drag my wife to it. This theater seems to have nothing but Indian movies that take forever to come out on streaming trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Gaius Marius posted:He's 100% correct I remember a LOT of scenes from watching his movies only one time - Polytechnique, Incendienes, Enemy, Prisoners all had very visual depictions where the lines being spoken didn't really matter, let alone his bigger budget work. RE: Brotherhood of the Wolf, I only caught it a few years ago and enjoyed it. I believe it's also the movie where Belluci and Cassel met but could be wrong. I do wonder what happened to French cinema - you had that, Jeunet's stuff throughout the 90s and 00s, and then .... I'm completely unaware of anything after that. Did their government stop funding the arts or something at the same time Korea jump started their industry?

Hundreds of Beavers is the movie of the decade. Nonstop slapstick action comedy. Incredible stuff, if you have a kid, absolutely watch it with them.

Jay Rust posted:Do you guys ever watch movies in several sittings? I just found out a friend does this regularly and it sounds insane Almost always since about 5 years ago. It stinks but sometimes it's the only way to see stuff. For a while I was watching movies on my phone on my commute, 45 minutes of train rides each way, then eventually got in the habit of watching an hour or so a night after I get my kid to bed. I think it's why I've gravitated so much towards action movies, because they don't lose as much when you lose tension. Whereas horror, suspense, or good dramas often suffer a lot when broken up. I started doing this in November of 2019 and have seen just under 400 movies since then, I doubt I would have even seen 50 without doing it this way. trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Apr 9, 2024 |

Anyone have suggestions for gif capture on movies from streaming sites? I've been using gifcam for years, and suddenly it isn't working for both prime video and Hoopla. I usually do one or two gifs with short reviews I send to some friends and this is driving me nuts. Am I just SOL when using said sites?

Mordiceius posted:Watched American Fiction last night. That film is loving fantastic. I just caught it. I really liked how the two stories didn't intersect - the layered family drama represented the books that Monk was writing with no audience, but had a lot of depth to them.

I caught Female Prisoner Scorpion last night and was blown away by the camera choices and movement throughout. I had no idea how exploitative it was going to be and was really surprised at how much talent went into making a movie about that kind of subject matter. Wow. It probably helped I watched it one day after Poor Things, which I really disliked because of that movies choice of lenses. Ugh.

A bunch of very surprising scenes for sure I absolutely loved the fantastical lighting of even the normal scenes, to go along with all the surreal stuff.
