Netflix just sent me a “we just added a movie you mght like” email
The movie was Wild Hogs
Netflix recommendations seem to be half stuff that everyone is talking up so I'm planning on checking out anyway, and half absolute shit that I would absolutely give an actual person a furrowed brow for seriously recommending it to me.

I signed up for Vudu so I could spend 99 cents to watch The Howling 2: Your Sister Is a Werewolf for the next How Did This Get Made, and now every website I visit is plastered with ads for just the worst movies.

Today I learned that Ansel Elgort, Taron Egerton and Alden Ehrenreich are all different people
My mind has apparently just been going "young bland looking white guy with strange name, yeah that's the guy" (having never seen any films starring these people helps)
This came out because my roommate was just watching Beautiful Creatures on Netflix, and she was like "oh the new Han Solo's in this" and I was like "oh, the Baby Driver guy?" And she was like "no..." and I was like, "really could've sworn that was the same guy. He's in the Kingsman movies?"
Ansel Elgort, you mean Stuart Wellington’s best friend?
He was totally thinking of Stu's sick dance moves while he was in Baby Driver.

It wasn't terrible. I mean, the thing it had going for it the most was me pointing at the screen and going "aww look it's Goldshire/Stormwind/Westfall/Ironforge/The Dark Portal/etc." but other than abruptly and unceremoniously ending, I didn't dislike it as much as I thought I would.
Armie Hammer is wearing a head sock and making a strong case to me that he should be Gambit
He's so good in that.

It was the polar opposite of what I want from action movies. It was just a bunch of dour men with unattractive facial hair shooting vaguely at each other with no style or story to speak of.

Anyways now I'm watching District B13, a good action movie
Gonna watch a dude parkour beat someone up with a steering wheel
Free Fire is one of those movies that fell into this zone I have where I can hear about something and say oh, I like the sound of this thing you're doing, its different and whatever. But then I watch the movie and am just completely unengaged and don't really care.
I like Free Fire for being perhaps the most realistic gunfight ever filmed. An action movie it is not though.
Also, I'm a sucker for movies that happen more or less in real time, as I'm sure I've mentioned before.
See the thing is though
Realistic gunfights are very boring
Gunfights in action movies aren't very realistic because it makes them much better narrative tools to be stylized and entertaining
Like, the "realistic" gunfight in the street in Heat is great cinematically, but the second you remember even small caliber handgun bullets go straight through carsas long as you miss the engine, you realise the gunfight would have lasted maybe 30-45 seconds.
Heat has some good sound design for it's gunfight, but it's mostly just shot so that you just cut from shots of the criminals to shots of the cops without much flow or progression. Like, they maybe do a bit of suppressing fire and moving up, but for the most part the parties don't really react much to each other.
Most gunfights are literally filler. Shot of guy shooting. Shot of other guy shooting. No meaning conveyed other than "shooting is happening." Location, character actions, stakes, none of it matters. It's just there as filler, loud noises and bangs to wow the audience.

It's the reason I don't take the Winter Soldier seriously when people rave about the fights. They'll post that fight video and aside from the bucky/cap hand to hand it's literally just people firing guns from behind cars. One of the most boring ways to execute a gunfight.

If they just had it be Warcraft: Orcs Only it would have been rad
I think it had some interesting stuff going with the ping-ponging narrative, but that movie needed to be 4 hours long to breathe properly, which is kind of a big ask for WarCraft.
Shot, reverse shot can work fine. I mostly just didn't like the progression in Heat, and how there are so many people firing bullets and people are still just hanging out in the open, and the bullets don't actually do anything or hit anything (because they are firing blanks of course, but in the movie it feels like not a lot happens)
I could also be misremembering and being harsh because i really just didn't like heat.

Well also they needed to recast pretty much every human character in it.

You don't like Heat?
But she's got a GREAT ASS!!
It was just a bunch of shitty, shouty men pretending to be stoic
There wasn't a single compelling character among them

The only thing I remember about Heat is that my criminal law professor got mad at it because of how blatantly inaccurately it portrayed "attempted" crime.
Like, there is a scene where a guy yells that he can't arrest a guy because he hasn't done enough yet, and it's just like...no, dude. Opposite! Oppossite!
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I used to love Heat. Easily one of my favorite movies back in the day. Now I realize I just love the direction, cinematography, and music. That movie is the one that got me into being interested in lighting and how a film is shot.

It was so good to see Daniel Craig actually act again.
I forgot how good he can be when he's not just doing brooding.

If you can get over looking at Casey Affleck's face for a bit, it is pretty good.
What a miserable fucking piece of shit
What's bad about it? The trailer and Brie Larson's presence piqued my interest a while back.
He's so good in that.

A Field in England was pretty good though.
