Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Heh The Cell... reminds me of the early DVD era with loads of Village Roadshow style menus and bonus features. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,346 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 When 'Interactive Menus' and 'Scene Access' were mentioned on the back, because they were still thought of as a big deal. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I used to have fun skipping chapters and using my mouse and pointer on my slow 4× DVD-ROM drive on my 1998 Compaq Presario 5260 PC.

The Nostalgia Critic review should give you a basic idea, but honestly... even that doesn't get into just how bad it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,394 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Look, I love Paul Thomas Anderson as much as everyone. Boogie Nights, There Will be Blood and Phantom Thread are brilliant, and Magnolia is one of my favorite movies of all time. That said... Dear Lord, Inherent Vice was so fucking boring. It was an unbelivably, mind-numbingly dull movie, and the plot is utterly incomprehensible. It's more entertaining watch the paint dry than this. Of course, the movie is tecnically impressive, the performances are top notch, and Anderson really conveys the feeling of being so stoned you don't get what's happening, but gosh, what a dull movie. Speaking of dull movies people unexplicably like... The 2011 movie Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy has an interesting premise, but the actual plot is so dull and lifeless, basically only 40-something British men in suits talking to each other in very low voices in extremely uninteresting scenarios. Of course, I wasn't expecting a Bond style movie, with car chases, gunfights, hot chicks and exotic locations, but the movie feels so drained that it pratically doesn't have almost no suspense or intrigue. It's simply uninteresting and confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already tried to watch the film three times but I always give up. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,506 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 From what I remember about INHERENT VICE, it seemed to be reaching for the same kind of stoner atmosphere as THE BIG LEBOWSKI, but ended-up well and truly lodged up its own ass.

Edmilson 7,394 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Seventh Son That was hideous. There's nothing (other than a slightly decent score by Beltrami) in the movie that manages to save it from the utter disaster. The movie is so atrocious that it's probably the worst thing I've ever seen. Thankfully it bombed at the box office, effectively ending this weird Hollywood tendency of "it's Lord of the Rings... but with/for kids!" that brought us Eragon, The Golden Compass and the Chronicles of Narnia movies.
