Quintus 5,399 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Odd really, because AOTC isn't even bad in a kitsch kind of way, which might have explained it. The fact he loves Bold and the Beautiful doesn't explain it either, because that's a different kind of shit again. Maybe Drax just loves all varieties of manure. Hmm, yes, that would explain it!

Jay 37,343 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Carol Actually saw this in the theater Saturday night. Reminded me why I prefer to just watch everything at home almost always these days; The sound started cutting out 5 minutes into the picture, making us miss crucial pieces of dialogue. Then it would seemingly be fixed, then 10 minutes later cut out again. Frustrating. They gave us free passes to see a future movie when it was over, luckily. Anyway, the movie is actually really good. I thought it might be another Brokeback-type "two people want to be together but can't because of society" movie, but it isn't that; then I thought it might be another "a women must choose between personal happiness or sacrificing that for the sake of her family" but it isn't that; It's much more nuanced and unique. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are both very good, but so is the entire supporting male cast (with the exception of Kyle Chandler, who is just way too over the top almost all the time unfortunately). Even Carrie Brownstein from Portlandia shows up for a microscopic role that I have to imagine was either cut down in editing, or is a character that plays a bigger role in the novel (she gets a first and last name in the end credits). The cinematography is gorgeous, and the slow deliberate pace of the entire film really draws you in. The film is full of closeups which helps with that as well. You are engaged with the story the whole time and it ends up being a good one that avoids a lot of cliches. Nice film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse manure's not that bad. I don't even mind the word manure. It's newer, which is good, and a ma in front of it. Ma-Newer. When you consider the other choices, manure is actually pretty refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Deadpool It's not as funny as I hoped it would be. Ryan Reynolds takes ample opportunity to poke fun at the X-Men franchise, himself, and everybody else -- lots of ad-libbing, CGI blood spurts and breaking the fourth wall. Unlike Green Lantern (which also gets skewered), this is a role that fits his comedic persona to a T. But Tim Miller and writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick have trouble balancing the tonal shifts between comedy and traditional superhero antics. Ed Skrein mainly smirks his way throughout, while Morena Baccarin is the damsel-in-distress. T.J. Miller was a pleasant surprise though. It's a light diversion, and should've been better. Maybe the sequel will really go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Zoolander 2 - not quite as funny as the first, but nowhere near the car-crash some reviews have pegged it as. Still a fair few chuckles to be had ... any movie where Justin Bieber is machine-gunned to death in the first 5 minutes is all right by me.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I don't think of it that way. The first one was a live action manga cartoon and the second was another indulgent ramble through Tarantino's obsession with movie revenge and his pseudo philosophical take on it. I say pseudo because the love affair he had with his own dialogue ultimately made the revenge feel unauthentic. It was just another exercise.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Kill Bill 1 is energetic but shallow kung-fu nonsense. Part 2 adds some depth to the proceedings. And TND is my favorite Brosnan Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 In this instance I definitely prefered the shallow and marvellously stylistic action over the 'deeper' ruminations of a sequel which I thought didn't require any of the exposition or expansive character purpose to begin with. It was the sequel to a movie I hadn't watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just discussed this in some other thread a few days ago. When the film first premiered in Cannes, it was one film. There's nothing to "buy" about it. It's one movie that got split up and rearranged a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
