Because I just left a screening and 1) I thought it was actually perfect and 2) I honestly feel like I've been in a car wreck. Heart in my throat, words won't come out, and I'm just stunned. Disoriented
There were a lot of things that hit close to home
Steam
I’m worried about it being overhyped but I am ready to love
I am ready for another kick ass Batman theme
Steam
But we have Jexi!
Bummer
Edit: gonna see One Piece Stampede though, hell yeah
original Dick Dale soundtrack:
new Giacchino soundtrack:
I hear she’s the captain now
Ugh, none here for me.
I should probably spring for one of these. My old one is KILLING me.
Wow that’s way better than I remember it being
In fact I have no memory of this song at all, which is pretty wild as I usually note movie soundtracks that impress me
I guess I have more Marvel fatigue than I thought I did

All just prelude to a Pinocchio/Marwen doll universe crossover event.
No doubt it's the user of the Stand 「Jefferson Airplane」
stand battles would make any movie immediately better
it's fine! your dad will like it, and I mean "dad" in the platonic sense of society as a whole's dad, as that is who that is made for
it just made me want to watch Speed Racer again
Starring Armie Hammer, with Dakota Johnson and Zazie Beetz also cast
If you 1) have 94 minutes to kill, 2) are a completionist in general or of any of those 3 cast member's filmographies, or 3) just want to knock out another new-to-you film for the month of October: you could Maybe do worse than this I guess, but you could certainly absolutely do better than this too
While he works, regulars fight. Amidst the chaos, Armie recovers a phone a group of underage kids leave behind. Needless to say, from here shit hits the fan, but at a slow-for-94-minutes irregular pace, and never in a way that feels remotely satisfying or scary (though the jumpscares try)
What you get from this one:
Cockroaches. Lots and lots of cockroaches. More cockroaches than you'll ever want to see
Pics and nightmares of severed heads that aren't quite completely dead
A dude who got punched and stabbed with a beer bottle shard in a bar fight, sporting a progressively increasingly growing face-hole you end up seeing the gateway of Something inside by the end of it all
A cell phone that helps provide communication to whatever's in the face-hole portal that you see inside by the end of it all
The kids behind the cell phone being "left behind" fucking with Armie more and more
Dakota Johnson, Armie's character's girlfriend, looking up something from the phone and going into a trance looking up tunnels on the Internet, probably on the #darkweb because a lot of horror films are doing that nowadays
Armie Hammer wandering around getting progressively more drunk, confused, suspicious of everything/everyone around him and pissed at it all
Zazie Beetz, whose character is dating Armie's friend, getting awkwardly hit on by drunk Armie, rejecting it, and basically being shuffled offscreen after it happens because her purpose has been served as giving him more reason to be despondent and accepting of what the kids/phone/demon/whatever Really Wants, which is to fill the void inside him
Lack of focus. Overall that's just the main part: there's potential in each development and certainly in the cast, but nothing cohesive ever comes together, and if there's a bigger message or moral or Point to it all, it's lost in the process
If there's one thing I can credit, and in the interest of ending all of this on a positive note: I genuinely do want to show some praise to the best scene of the film, where Dakota Johnson just tears into Armie (after the jackass who just cheated on her breaks up with her, And makes it out to be her fault, for being mad at him claiming he's trying to protect her from the dangers he's starting to drag her into with this phone/tunnel mess). She calls him a shell of a person internally and says he doesn't want to keep her or himself or anyone else safe, he doesn't want anything period, nothing inside him is able to be satisfied
Dakota's my fav, she def deserved better than Wounds, but that scene was the one part where things briefly seemed worth it
Steam
Unfortunately it has some scenes that are just plain bad, but the core of the film is solid, and it has a nice message, especially when it's hammered home by Askewniverse vets.
Phrasing, people! Second time in this thread!
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
I like the story where the Riddler's big plan is... that he's not going to leave any clues this time.
Except he subconsciously left enough clues for Batman to solve; he literally couldn't not do it even when it the last thing he wanted to do. This makes the Riddler realize he has a problem and willingly goes to Arkham.
Batman & Robin drops the pretense that it's anything more than goofy shlock and just runs with it, to the films benefit.
I'm told Barnes and Noble will be having a Criterion sale in November and previous sales have had their newer releases on sale too.
The panel that follows shows that the cops behind the 2-way glass had left before he even started confessing.
