    Did I miss this earlier in the thread?



    Apparently the footage was pretty great, and this is gonna pull the same narrative that the Blomkamp Alien film was, ignoring everything but the first two films.

    Was the Killing Gunther film good

    Probably the way to go if they actually got a good acript this time.

    I finally watched The Favourite, and I have to say, I don't get it. The scene with
    the parliament dude chasing Emma Stone in the forest
    was the epitome of how I often didn't understand what the movie was even trying to do. I guess it's just too highbrow for me.

    I mean
    he stumbled across her in the woods and he wanted to fuck her
    I don't think that scene was trying to be about very much else, except maybe giving us some insight into what got Emma Stone's character horny
    Okay well I realized after making that post that I thought that guy and the opposition leader were the same guy, they wore too much makeup back then...So that makes the movie make a lot more sense, so I can amend not getting it to just that the complexities of toxic romance is not relatable to me, at all. Also most of the movie is gorgeous, but chill with the fisheye lens

    The reviews I've read of this are SAVAGE

    I really hope It Follows dude doesn't turn out to be a one trick pony, I love that movie

    I'm happy because I'll get to watch it sooner.

    But I'm sad because I want A24 films to all be massive successes.

    I think that scene is one of the earliest indicators of people thinking that they have power over Emma Stone's character when they don't. He thinks that her sexuality is something that he will conquer and acquire with his Good Strong Manliness, but she's using him to get what she wants.

    Like, the fact that "I was breastfed" is apparently a comeback line is nothing short of spectacular.

    Anyone expecting a movie featuring a CGI Sonic the Hedgehog in the real world, featuring Jim Carrey as Robotnik to be all serious business is operating on such a different level than myself that I find it hard to understand them.

    From what I've seen it's been people expecting the good kind of bad and just getting the bad instead

    Like you'll see something written and think it's so cheesy and incredibly good, like the Mortal Kombat film was. But then in execution it's DOA: Dead Or Alive

    I'm particularly in-tune with that kind of criticism (something you're excited for being completely not as good as it sounds) because two days ago I saw Sukiyaki Western Django for the first time, and there's...simply no reason "Takashi Miike makes a spaghetti western" should have been that boring and mediocre?

    The problem I'm having is that "everyone's a dumb asshole saying purposefully shitty jokes" got old for me in like, 2008, so when a film goes all-in on that strategy it's just boring to watch.

    Yeah that's fair. The line between good-bad and bad-bad is largely in the execution after all

    i think the very weird thing with the sonic movie is most of the reactions are to still images and text which are the worst ways to convey anything wrt a movie's quality

    it's a really weird disconnect for me -- because you absolutely can't parse tone from it at all, and sonic is inherently a dumb as shit concept

    sonic is incredibly dumb and also none of the stuff I've seen in the movie is any worse than the dialogue in any sonic game I've seen that has it

    in fact everything I've seen is significantly better

    Original MIB is still great, and I really like MIB 3. Was never super keen on 2 though.

    the original men in black has not become "old and busted" as one would assume, and instead still feels like "the new hotness"

    That's good to hear. A lot of my favorite movies from that time don't hold up. (I'm looking at you, Ace Ventura)

    I'm watching Big Fish for the first time since having kids and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cry about 10x harder at the end.

    Update - not 10x harder but that movie still works like gangbusters for me. The same amount of tears.

    There’s some poor dialogue and editing at times, I think, but MIB is still fucking hilarious.

    The Schwarzenegger scenes are hilarious and felt like Arnie was really enjoying himself.

    The rest of the movie is fine.
