    Stopped at a bar yesterday afternoon for a few drinks and about halfway through my first one they put Skinamarink on the TV (with no sound). Had to force myself from looking up to avoid it since I haven't actually had a chance to watch it yet.

    I'll say this though: The visuals combined with the DJ playing stuff like Hurdy Gurdy Man and Paul McCartney's 3 Legs made for one hell of a vibe.

    Watched Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio last night. Cute movie! Didn't blow me away, but I enjoyed my time well enough.

    I'd heard that it was "darker" than Pinocchio often is, so I got it into my head that it was gonna be this almost Pan's Labyrinth sort of thing, forgetting that it is first and foremost a movie for kids/families. For a modern kids/family movie, yeah, a bit darker than Trolls or Minions or what have you, but it didn't fundamentally change the message or mode of the movie. If I had kids, or if I were overall fonder of The Pinocchio Story as a concept, I could see it working a lot better for me. As is, I had a good enough time but I doubt it'll really stick with me.

    Hellfire

    The Disney song about an incel so mad that a girl won’t fuck him that he’ll burn down Paris.

    burning down paris because the hot romani lady doesn't wanna bone you is a pretty reasonable reaction though

    Sheesh, I'd go to more bars if they played movies, and I don't even drink.

    There was a bar in Hollywood that used to show Big Lebowski on a perpetual loop (though with the sound turned off and the subtitles on, to save the sanity of the employees). There were little "Little Lebowski Urban Achievers" magazine-cover mirrors above the urinals, it was fun.

    Wonder if they survived the pandemic, I haven't been on the bar scene in a grip

    I guess I'm spoiled in that the vast majority of the bars near me that I go to pretty much play movies all day (sound off/subtitles on) whenever there's not a game on. Some of the best movie-watching experiences I've had are with groups of friends/strangers day drinking in a bar on a Sunday watching, like, Armageddon or RoboCop or Road House.

    They have Shudder, I'm guessing? I'd be like a kid in a candy store at that bar.

    Yeah my regular place has Hulu, Shudder and (I think?) Netflix on the TVs. The owner used to keep a huge CD book full of his own personal DVDs down in the bar, but I guess he got tired of dealing with all of them and made the switch to streaming sometime right before the pandemic.

    Who do I have to pay to make a buddy comedy movie starring Adam Driver and Lupita Nyong'o directed by Rian Johnson? Anyone know? Because that's what I've determined I want in a movie.

    For one thing, the director of that a) didn't direct the first/best Know What You Did Last Summer and b) went on to make Geostorm

    For another thing, the director of this a) made Sweet/Vicious and, most important for me, b) directed Do Revenge, one of my fav films of last year

    I Know What You Did Last Summer is like the epitome of "young people make incredibly stupid decisions in the heat of the moment" horror movie. I guess you could make something out of full grown adults... regretting their youths or something, but it seems really dumb and misplaced.

    You could absolutely make it about how emotional scars can last a lifetime with the current of “the shit you did to me may seem like decades ago but to me it was last summer”

    Or they just make the exact same movie but where their kids are getting up to “wacky” hijinks

    I’d be ok with this premise only if they make 75% of the movie a shot by shot replica of the original.
