General Movie Discussion

I mean, look at these awesome wigs!

 

Literally never heard of this Netflix movie that somehow cost 320 million to make

 

Why does Chris Pratt look like fat Bikeriders Austin Butler

 

will Millie Bobby Brown ever be in a good movie? I have no interest in seeing in her anything. Finn, who I don't really care for, at least went weird and into indie horror.

 

Well she's like Netflix property, and they only make garbage

 

Probably not and I don’t think she has any interest in doing that. She seems to have an open disdain for movies

 

she didn't have to be, but I guess those checks are sweet as hell.

 

I forgot about that controversy.

 

another "movie" coming out this week

Dave Bautista should be above that slop by now. Don’t waste your time dog

 

Really enjoyed Winona Ryder sneak dissing her about this

since streaming killed cable, these are basically just the made for tv movies

they are just very stupid about giving them 9 digit budgets

 

I don’t know if they’re actually doing this but wouldn’t they be incentivized to lie about those budget numbers? They pretty obviously lie about how many people watch their original content

 

what does spending 7x more than they should incentivize them?

they absolutely lie about the watch numbers, but lying about spending more on budgets doesnt seem beneficial

 

I honestly think they're laundering money or something nefarious.

 

This looks like a bad movie within a good movie as a running gag

 

I meant more so that they’re lying about how much they’re spending

 

Netflix must be paying these actors 5 times the going rate. Their budget numbers never make sense.

 

right, but what incentive do they have to do that because it only creates worse headlines for them

 

Now seated for Seven Veils

 

Satan's Alley 2.0

 

I thought Red One would be hard to top for “movie written by an algorithm for morons” but I underestimated Netflix and Chris Pratt yet again

 

what would you consider the best movie Netflix has cranked out? Hitman?
((posting this knowing full well I'll miss something completely obvious))

 

It’s worth noting that we should separate the movies they acquired versus actually produced from the beginning because they acquired hitman after it was already done. They used to hand out a lot of money to elite directors for passion projects to try to win an Oscar but they’ve seemingly given up on that (the Irishman, Roma, Mank, etc)

 

Rebel Moon will be considered the best once we get the Definitive Final Snyder Cut 2.0

 

The Irishman and Roma

 

Were Glass Onion and Don’t Look Up both Netflix originals?

 

Yes

 

Is a sequel to a mainstream studio film by the same director and star truly a Netflix ORIGINAL, tho?

 

fat keefe chambers iyam

 

No but they gave him the money before he started making it so idk how you want to classify that. He made the first and then they gave him a bag to make it into a series

 

Have you guys not seen Red Notice

 

I wish Mickey 17 had been more parasite and snowpiercer and less okja.

 

Thought Mickey17 was ok. It felt like it would occasionally lose momentum and some of the scenes could have been shortened or cut altogether.

 

Nw: Before the devil knows you’re dead

 

Nw: last of the Mohicans

 

It’s so fucking good. Hawke and Hoffman rule but don’t overlook young Michael Shannon being, shockingly, intense as fuck

 

One of the GOAT soundtracks

 

marisa tomeis tits

 

I usually don’t cross post Marvel stuff into here but this is funny

 

I think I love Mike Leigh movies

 

The last 30ish mins of this movie are absolutely incredible.

 

did you watch Hard Truths?

 

dont particularly care for this artwork or steelbooks in general, but the market dictated this as my 4k option

 

watched this the other night for the first time. PSH just crushes it. So good.

 

Not yet, but I've watched Naked, Life is Sweet, Secrets and Lies, and Working Girls recently. All great

 

Got 8:00 Mickey 17 tix tonight for me and Kendall…hooray

 

Hard truths is incredible and MJB should’ve won best actress
