bollemanneke 3,348 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Julie & Julia. Not the best choice when you’re suffering from a Meryl Streep overdose (that voice), but I love Amy Adams, who I haven’t seen in anything since Dawn of Justice, I think… and who repeatedly mispronounces boeuf bourguignon here. There’s also too many people eating with their mouths full of food in it, but Jane Lynch was great and why on earth did I not recognise Stanley Tucci? The movie might be a little long as well, but I am mostly very happy with the way things ended. A scene in which Julie stopped revering Julia after it turned out she didn’t like the blog at all might have been a good idea, but I had a really relaxing evening watching this. Desplat’s score is delicious, Psycho Killer brought me right back to my childhood and Clarke’s Trumpet Voluntary arranged for strings was quite something too. And now I’m hungry.

Holko 9,526 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 My problem with Grease is that the resolution should have been the characters ditching the toxic peer pressuring gangs and doing whatever they want instead of faking a personality just to appeal to them. It's even kinda set up when Rizzo sees how quickly the entire school is turning on her! It's a secretly dystopian ending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,361 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Grease is another of those that has you wondering how it managed a PG/A rating ... Greased Lightnin' alone contains such lyrics as ... 'You know that ain't no shit, we'll be getting lots of tit in Greased Lightnin' ' 'The chicks'll cream For Greased Lightnin' ' 'You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real pussy wagon, Greased Lightnin' ' Hehehe. As ever, the 'whinywokers' using *modern standards* to judge a movie released in the Seventies and set in the Fifties can fuck RIGHT off. Batman Begins ... ahh, remember actually comprehensible Chris Nolan blockbusters? Even with its more down-to-Earth approach to Bats, am willing to bet this is still more fun than the upcoming Pattinson flick. Quintus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Pardon the bitterness I'm about to spew, but Grease is kinda dumb and was always so and what's ironic is that back in the day conservatives probably wanted to cancel it for it's sexual content and its themes. The tables, they have turned. And I don't care. I don't like Grease. It's not worth fighting a culture war over. 6 hours ago, The Big Man said: Some randoms on Twitter say something.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Paterson. I watched this one in preparation for my first online meetup with an Irish independent movie lovers group. Really liked the calm pacing, the ethereal score, Chasten Harmon, Kara Hayward and Rizwan Manji. I seem to recall Adam Driver had a weird voice, but he sounds perfectly normal here, so maybe I was imagining things. I couldn’t help wondering whether there was more to it all, though, and was briefly hoping for a Shutter Island twist or something. Golshifteh Farahani and her character slowly grew on me, but I could have done without the final scene or at least the entire conversation. Why does IMDB call this a comedy and why did it take me so long to recognise William Jackson Harser? Feeling pleasantly drowsy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
