    It’s a pretty consistent movie WRT Burton, right up through the point where his ignorance is why he wins.

    Yeah the movie sets up Jack and pays him off pretty well. Even the all in the reflexes bit is established early on.

    I'm terrified if they ever remake the movie.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    The idiot president complained about Parasite winning best picture, because he is a racist. But it DID lead to this:

    There is NO FUCKING WAY Trump sat through Parasite.

    I doubt he even started it, or knows what it is beyond "film from south korea"

    Maybe he would have liked it more if they told him it was North Korean.

    Trump definitely hasn't watched Gone With The Wind or Sunset Boulevard either

    The only thing Trump's ever watched besides porn is old recordings of Andrew Dice Clay's comedy.

    nah, I bet Trump loves movies with lots of punching and/or shooting

    bonus points if there are gorillas involved

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    if Trump watched Parasite he would be completely uninterested
    until the guy in the basement bashes his head against the wall to turn the lights on for Mr. Park

    and then he'd say "now THIS, I like"

    I refuse to believe that he has the attention span for a single shot from the sequence in Taken 3 where Liam Neeson climbs the fence.

    I'm assuming the only thing Trump watches is reruns of the Apprentice and Home Alone 2.

    He claps for himself everytime he's on screen.

  • GvzbgulGvzbgul Registered User regular
    Therefore, it shouldn't come as any surprise that Trump doesn't watch films like you. In fact, Trump doesn't even watch films - he speed-watches them. In a 1997 piece in The New Yorker, Trump explains that he can get any film down to 45 minutes. Why? Because he's a monster, that's why.

    No, as the piece describes it, Donald Trump has someone man the remote and fast-forward through plot, substance and exposition so that he can get to the action scenes. No, really. As the article tells it, Trump got bored watching Michael - yes, that terrible film with John Travolta as an angel - and decided to watch Jean-Claude Van Damme's Bloodsport instead.

    "(He) got bored and switched to an old favorite, a Jean Claude Van Damme slugfest called Bloodsport, which he pronounced 'an incredible, fantastic movie.' By assigning to his son (Eric Trump) the task of fast-forwarding through all the plot exposition - Trump’s goal being 'to get this two-hour movie down to forty-five minutes' - he eliminated any lulls between the nose hammering, kidney tenderizing, and shin whacking."

    Being sick and getting my tax return back has led to a lot of movie watching for me lately

    Surprising no one, the extended cuts of Lord of the Rings are still extremely good movies. 5/5

    Terminator: Dark Fate was way better than I expected, and probably better than it has any right to be. Definitely the only post-Judgment Day Terminator film to have any fucking clue what to do with Arnold. 4/5

    Detective Pikachu is a movie so delightful that I managed to not be sick of Ryan Reynolds for a period of time. I really hope we get more Pokemon movies with this tone and feel. 4.5/5

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters has some very high highs, but it's missing something in the connective tissue. 3.5/5

    Zombieland: Double Tap is the sequel to Zombieland. In lieu of a rating out of five, I give it Exactly One (1) Zombieland

    Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is a deeply fucking stupid movie. It is a hideous misuse of almost all the talent involved in it, and it is the worst Fast & Furious movie. 1/5

    Lastly, KNIVES OUT is a mother fucking movie that I am probably about to watch again right now. I am so angry at myself for not seeing this in a theater. Holy shit, KNIVES OUT. 6/5

    Is this really that surprising? Yes it makes no sense but if you assume he put that thought together based on half-listening to people tell him what he should mention during his rally it makes perfect sense.

    It’s a movie that romanticizes antebellum South.

    Of course he tosses it a token bone.

    Honestly, I bet he just mentioned it because it's the first super famous movie with some clout he could come up with, and thinks it makes him sound intellectual by saying it deserves an award.

    It won best picture at the oscars the year it came out.

    This is a guy who says his favorite book is the Bible, an answer people only give you if they've only heard of books

    He absolutely just picked a movie he's heard of, he doesn't know anything about it

  • nightmarennynightmarenny Registered User regular
    I'm telling you guys

    One of his entourage brought it up during the same conversation where Trump found out about Parasite and he didn't pay attention to the context.

    I think what Trump was saying was, you used to get movies like Gone With the Wind and Sunset Boulevard, and weren't those the good old days

    Which is also a dumbfuck thing to say but slightly differently so
