went to AMC for the screen unseen showing tonight and got stuck with Better Man. another horrible musical biopic. just god awful. please stop making these fucking movies. please.
We actually kinda enjoyed it, it was the Regal Monday Mystery movie, as well. I was convinced and hoping that it was going to be Den of Thieves 2 tonight and honestly not sure if I would have seen Better Man when it came out unless my GF made me. The current RT scores may be a little too high IMHO, but also not disappointed that we sat through it.
Soderbergh has two movies coming out within like 75 days of each other. Presence and black bag. Wild.
Totally understand this position, maybe I was just pleasantly surprised since I wasn’t really planning on seeing it
When I saw the preview for that over in the UK I had to ask my wife who this was and I just knew it was going to utterly bomb in the States given it's a biopic about a guy noone in the States has ever heard of who was in a group that noone in the States had ever heard of, for some reason rendered as a chimp.
Robbie Williams was ridiculously popular in the UK when I spent a summer abroad in London in college. As a result, I’ve got a soft spot for him and I’ve loved this song, which I think was fairly popular in the States back in the early aughts. Perhaps it’s the James Bond sample but this is a great pop song. Still not going to ever see his movie. That’s all I have.
There’s a very good story to be written on Emilia Perez being critically acclaimed and cleaning up during awards season despite being pretty roundly disavowed by trans folks while I Saw The TV Glow gets ignored in the mainstream yet is absolutely adored by the audience it was made for.
According to my wife, when Take That broke up it was like the Beatles breaking up in the UK, to the point the government set up a support hotline about it. Edit: looked it up and apparently it was the Samaritans anti-suicide charity setting up the hotlines not the UK government
I actually looked at his Wikipedia to see if I was misremembering how huge he was, but nope, I may have undersold. He put out 14 albums in the UK, 13 of which went to No. 1 and 6 are among the top 100 selling albums in UK history. /takeittothetakethatthread
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, hate to break it to ya and Congo's 23% RT score, but yes, it is. "Amy hate special effects. Special effects hurt Amy eyes. Amy cry."
one of my all time favorite movies is drop zone I don't give a fuck what rotten tomato score someone wants to throw at me
And it doesn’t say he’s playing Batman so what is it? Hammer was cast as Batman in the cancelled JL movie.
I don’t think it’s Batman related. I think they just picked a bad title or did it to intentionally confuse people.
I looked at his IMDB because I wasn't familiar with him and it looked like one of the biggest piece of shit resumes I've ever seen. He also seems to really like working with that guy from the show Prison Break.
I don't know if this is actually true, but the long time rumor online was that he found a loophole in the German tax code that would get him money no matter how the movie does, so he would just shit out movies as cheaply and quickly as possible. Like a real life The Producers.
Anyone watch "Flow" yet? I turned it on just to see what it was and couldn't stop watching. That was so good.
Bummed I missed it in theaters. I’m going to wait for it to get added to the Criterion Channel in the next month, but also monitor second run theaters. Guessing it’ll have another run after Oscar noms drop.
This is the point in the movie where things went totally of the rails in an awesome way really enjoyed that movie
