Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

Bingo. She has "The Look", I guess.

This is what also I was referring to when I said overrated.

What "look" is this? I don't think she's amazing or even all that hot. Would I put it in her? Sure. But I don't think she's so amazing because she has boobs and likes games.

Why would you “put it in her”?

Who cares about flesh anymore?

I was referring to her brain.

She was the inspiration for Starry Eyes.

Is that confirmed, speculation or just a riff? Just curious. She always gave off that vibe but I generally try not to shit on people trying to succeed in that business. It's cutthroat as shit.

Shit dude, if you have to ask, then sure, let me confirm it. She has gone through an amazing metamorphosis.

Bingo. She has "The Look", I guess. Otherwise she wouldn't be getting cast in the first place. What she doesn't have is real talent or the ability to be anywhere near a versatile actress. She's one of those mediocre actors who always just come off as themselves.

She doesn’t even have a unique or notable look. My assumption is that she only got work because she has a built in fan base of horny gamerz from her G4 days.

In reference to Olivia Munn... a brain's just flesh.

Yeah thats what I'm saying. She's not some amazing piece of ass or anything.

Shit I forgot about the G4 stuff, ugh... Enough talk about this mediocre looking vapid cunt.

Land of the Lost- I'm familiar with the original show even though it was a couple years ahead of my time. The movie is an insane mess. There are some truly great visuals and a couple genuinely funny parts but I honestly can't believe this got made. I could see as a children's movie it could have worked but there is a lot of shockingly adult humor. It couldn't have been cheap either, lots of CG and practical effects and elaborate sets plus I'm sure Will Ferrell got paid out the ass. At least it's self aware.

A simple "riff" would've sufficed.

Watched Conan the Barbarian with my moms, now she knows what's best in life.

It's a terrible movie that I enjoyed a lot more than I expected.

 

[terry.330]

Man, it's so weird. I mainly watched it because I enjoyed Anna Friel in Pushing Daisies but it's pretty far out there. A lot of the small throw away gags make it enjoyable compared to stuff like Will Will Ferrell drinking piss.

This is actually the way I view Land of the Lost haha.

The Equalizer 2 - fine as a revenge flick. Last 30 minutes or so in particular are well done, the smackdown in a hurricane was kind of novel. Didn't feel much like the first one at all, though.

reservoir dogs and natural born killers, followed by feast 1 & 2.
just because it's brainfodder, mindless entertainment.

 

[jro]

Venom - Bizarre pacing and awful action scenes, but Tom Hardy makes it strangely endearing. Carnage has to be a more interesting villain than Riot, right?

Christine
About as good as a movie about a sentient killer car can get. Carpenter's music is great.

reservoir dogs is my favourite tarantino movie. simple yet effective.

The Predator (2018) - terrible movie, obviously, but it does have a little value as a guilty pleasure kind of thing. Horrible characters. Terrible acting (I did like Key and Jane, though). But the utter contempt that Shane Black clearly has for conforming to anything remotely PC is kind of enjoyable.

Into the Spider-Verse
Best super-hero movie since... Black Panther maybe? Good story, but great style. Some really great use of digital animation techniques that are also throwbacks to old school animation and printing (e.g., halftones for shadows instead of normal CGI lighting effects). This is the closest we're going to get to a Jet Set Radio movie.

was it as bad as predators?.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) -- Like 100proof mentioned in his review here, I also think that the episodic structure, quite static with one story arc after another, so after a while you feel there are no arcs at all, and the sheer amount of beaded heroes, that it all screamed television show. The infinite length of 149 minutes also does this justice. Facing almost three hours of a super hero film, usually just demands to suspend your disbelief, but not here, where everything progresses quite logically. Yet, you'll have to suspend your feelings, and that's inexcusable. At the most important point in the picture, someone's dare to say: No. This isn't love. I agree.

Scent of a Woman - pretty gay feel-good movie where the piece of shit character has a heart of gold. Chris O'Donnell was a fucking retard to not rat those guys out, fuck that. Free ride to Harvard but won't do it because...??? I guess because it's funny they got a ton of white paint on the headmaster's car so nah he's not gonna say? Anyways. Now I understand where Simpsons got that Skinner butt balloon idea from.

Scrooged - couldn't stand 5 minutes before turning it off. Loved it as a kid though.

A Christmas Story - this movie was very lucky to get as famous as it did. Very amateur production.

The Butterfly Effect - I liked this a lot, lot more when I was 16. I understand now why critics were hard on it.

All I really wanted to see was Christmas Vacation. But the TV didn't have it.

was it as bad as predators?.

Much worse. But I liked Predators because a fat Laurence Fishburne surviving in that environment for years makes as much sense as a fat Jew in a concentration camp.

dont worry he won't get far on foot
Some incredible performances and decent filmography. But Van Sant butters it up too much. I don't much like the tone, the droning sentiment driving most GVS films. Manipulativity and insencerity by part of the director mares what could have been an amazing film. It's just way too pretentious for its own good
