I might need a moment to work through it all.
And I might need a hug.
Holy crap, that was something.
God, I felt that.
It's not bad! Pretty much what I expected.
All the kids were excellent, I felt, which is an achievement that isn't mentioned much.
Kind of end spoilers.
I guess I’m missing something here.

- How did Taika manage to make it sooo funny and then turn it on a dime and make you choke on that laugh a second later?
- Alfie Allen has like what - 2 lines of dialogue in the whole movie and yet was able to fully realize that character. That swimming pool scene is absolutely sublime. As is him and Sam Rockwell charging into the fray in the end in their silly get up.
- The child actors were fantastic. "MY FACE LOOKS LIKE A GOD DAMN STREET MAP, WOMAN!" - I wonder how many takes it took to make that scene, without everyone constantly breaking into laughter at a 10 year old telling off his mom.
- The sets were awesome. The credits clued me in to the fact that they shot in the Czech Republic - but that could easily have been a small East-German town. I have been on that kinda town square hundreds of times.
- The sheer absurdity of the situation. Putting a paper uniform on an 11year old child. "Go hug an American" *slaps a grenade on a kids back*.
- The absolute gut punch of seeing Rosie hang there in the town square.
- Adolf and JoJo running through the woods in slo-mo and Adolf dancing and shimmying his way through the trees.
- The 5 minutes of "Heil Hitler'ing" the Gestapo goons
And probably so much more I am missing right now.
Just an utterly awesome movie.
There's a bug in the forums where threads don't properly forward you to the latest post and instead just dump you on the first post of the thread. So every time I visit this thread I see your first post over and over again.
It's like Groundhog Day for the movie thread!
Should have got Casey and Ali Edwards to make the song, I'd have have a bought a ticket just for mad props yo.

Casino Royale's was solid but nothing special as just a song.
Quantum of Solace's was unmemorable enough that I had to look it up but is basically ok. I'm not sure it's the right type of song for this though.
Spectre's song I got up and wandered into the kitchen to get something to eat and check discord and then came back when it ended.
I did the same thing with Spectre which was REALLY awkward since I saw it in the theater. Staff was like "wtf are you doing back here?"
It's too bad it's attached to a bunch of garbage.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
I like the Poets of the Fall version of "You Know My Name"
Also watched Noah, Darren Aranofsky's take on the Biblical story. He takes considerable liberties with the source material, of course. As a fan of the director's work, I'd say it's probably my least favorite of his films. Which still isn't terrible - I enjoyed it overall, and I liked Russel Crowe's moral torment - but it had what I felt to be sort of a generic fantasy movie vibe, and the struggle with Cain's descendents wasn't super compelling.
I find this interesting. Some of them are legit amazing songs with amazing vocals. I mean I’ve even listened to Snake Eater from Metal Gear Solid 3 many times separate from the game and that’s basically a fake Bond song. Live and Let Die is basically a Beatles/McCartney (ok Wings) song. I’ll take Live and Let Die as a theme song over the movie (or any of the Roger Moore movies).

I have both Goldfinger and Goldeneye in my library.
and, of course, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. That's some good John Barry.
I agree that we should disagree to agree.
This is a collection of questionable opinions
My extremely meta and ultimately indiscernably ambiguous response:
Judging any of the movies by their songs is almost fascinating though.
Even in the good movies the credits are best used as an early bathroom break in the event that you downed half your come during the trailers
Come Overwatch with meeeee
Half my what?
That happens before the theme song buddy
Poets of the Fall is pretty damn awesome anyway. Late Goodbye, from Max Payne, will always be one of my favorite video game songs. Carnival of Rust is a pretty great album.
