General Movie Discussion

So he’s out in the public and EVERYONE is hunting him?

 

If you like Wes and Wilder you should check out some Ophuls if you haven't. Letter from an Unknown Woman and Earrings of Madame de

 

that's how King originally wrote it. Richards was free to go anywhere but he had to make 1 or 2 video recordings a day and mail them back to the network. The game was obviously rigged so the Hunters could get a bead on the runner by using the postal codes from the mailed videos to get a general sense of where he was at. the general public were offered rewards for any info leading to the runner's capture/death

 

Not the needle drop I was expecting

Watch the trailer for Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, starring Renate Reinsve ❤️ The film will be released in theaters on November 7.

Looks like fun

 

A man of culture. I have seen Earrings of Madame de and loved it. Letters from an Unknown Woman has been on my list for awhile but I have not gotten around to it yet. Hopefully I change that soon

 

same with The Long Walk folks

I'm excited for both movies

 

That’s all well and good, but I need to clap if I love Dynamo.

 

also, the conference room scene at the CIA is heavily Burn After Reading coded.

 

I love him as an actor but that is not who I would have thought of when casting M. Bison, hope it works out

 

I also would never have believed Raul Julia could have pulled it off but he killed it in this absolutely horrible film

 

Odyssey teaser trailer getting attached to Jurassic World so Nolan will tweet it out at any time.

 

Bizarre song choice but looks devastatingly delightful.

 

What? I saw that movie in theaters multiple times. It’s cinema.

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I am glad you appreciated the art more than I and I am glad it enriched your spirit and life though it did not mine

 

Lemme tell you something, Red

 

f1 was such generic slop

kosinsky & mcquarrie really need to take maybe like 5 minutes with a script outside of set pieces

 

if you search Odyssey on Twitter you can find it as well

 

Bernthal is such an elite tier actor

 

Good. I was worried after so many people were such losers about his Oscar’s acceptance speech

 

Spoiler: we will only have to wait 9 years

Birth 2???

 

Who the fook is that guy?

 

Jonathan Glazer is an English filmmaker. He began his career in theatre before transitioning into film, directing the features Sexy Beast, Birth, Under the Skin, and The Zone of Interest

 

smdh

he makes an awesome movie every decade

 

Rear window is obviously a classic but it is lesser Hitchcock imo

 

Megan 2.0 flopping was extremely predictable. What a weird calculation by Blum house.

 

should have waited until January/February of next year and not sandwich it in between F1 and Jurassic World during the summer

but Jason doesn’t care about money tbh

 

Now watching: Marathon Man.

Banger

 

Finally watched Thunderbolts...thought it was fine but overrated based on the reactions it had been getting. Florence Pugh is great, everything else was just kind of there. Absolutely hated the final "battle"

 

even good marvel slop is still slop

 

I think why I liked it so much is because the final "battle" never really happens.

Instead of them tearing down city buildings, it became an internal mental battle.

 

It was straight out of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. Pass

 

sure, everything is derivative

but for marvel to shy away from destroying a city is at least them choosing something

 

Yeah, but winning with the power of….a group hug? They did a better version of that in Guardians 1. And, the villain gets away because she called a press conference?

Florence Pugh was great in it though. I didn’t expect I would actually be saying this, but I think I liked Brave New World more.

 

Its kinda shocking that everyone kind of forfeited July to DC/Marvel/Jurassic

 

Pretty common

Summers are for kids movies

 

Not really no

 

Moonlight is a beautiful movie. And extremely tight and succinct.

 

that is an insane thing to say

 

Didn't think I'd be saying it, but I was underwhelmed with one and the other beat my low expectations.

 

one at least has competent filmmaking

brave new world is bad on every level of filmmaking

 

You're entitled to your opinion.

 

Keith mother fucking David finally getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

 

Fyi Jaws movie tickets are now on sale for the end of August. I think I am opting to see it in 3-D over IMAX because I’ve shockingly heard of how awesome the 3-d conversion is.
