I was disappointed in it. It was OK but somewhat boring. I know you are supposed to love every movie he does but I just didn't love it. Lots of boring old movie re-creations and boring dialog.

Brad Pitt's character was far more interesting than Leo's. Go get popcorn when Leo is in a scene without Brad.

artistically Tarantino has been following the same path as Perry. Amazing in the beginning of the nineties, now, and for the past many years, embarrassing

The sun will have burned out by the time QT catches up to PF.

I went with my wife on Friday night...early bird 5:30 showing. It was packed and we had the choice between front or back row. Back row it is...sat down next to this has been/never was couple (even older than I am). The lady's denim is draped so that it's on my seat and shared armrest...they are eating out of a plastic bag and according to my wife sippin their libations. I didn't get that far; she was chompin some type of crunch food, open mouthed, like a sow while her husband had to comment on every new scene..."musso & franks", "Pitt blah, blah, blah", "Blah, blah, blah"....I lasted 10 minutes. I was fantasizing about lead pipes and ligatures. Felt such relief as I walked out of the theater. :nod: Blue Ray :nod:

Yeah, I either wait a couple weeks and go to a mid-day matinee or wait for a movie to hit home video. More and more, there's usually some dickwad sitting near me loudly playing with their phone or something that takes me outta the movie. I haven't even seen Avengers Endgame yet.

I was probably the last guy on the planet to finally see Avengers Endgame tonight, but I sometimes manage to get Blu-ray releases a few weeks before street date so this one was on the docket tonight.

I have to agree with the general opinion that Endgame doesn't quite match up to Infinity Gauntlet. The only moments I actually got a bit of a chill down my spine was the big confrontation with everyone in the Marvel Universe showing up to kick ass and Cap calls for Avengers Assember, that and when Cap lifts the Hammer. The sad bits where kind of spoiled months ago so those characters' passing did quite have the impact they probably would have had I gone in totally blind.

There was a few bits of course that bugged me - leaving Hulk virtually absent from the big final battle and no Nick Fury... The ending was pretty pitch perfect though although it seemed to imply that there were two Steve Rogers existing in the 70's timeline (well, one stuck in ice 'til the 21st Century anyway) to present day.

All in all, I think Marvel stuck the landing and did the entire run of films justice with Endgame.

Over the weekend, I saw the movie Midsommar by Ari Aster- loved it! It has a strong Wicker Man vibe.
The reviews have been mixed. I think because this is not a typical horror movie. I thought it was really well done; I left feeling a little unsettled and disturbed. :lol:
The director is the guy who did Hereditary which I haven't seen.



Well, I read a good review ... I just came back from the movie theater. It's been ages since I went to a movie theater. And I went alone, cause I really wanted to see it.

That's 2 hours of my life thrown away.

If I'd have to label it , I d call it a comedy. I laughed a few times. Least horror horrormovie I ve ever seen

Too bad you hated it. I agree there were some darkly comedic moments for sure.

Just watched Avengers Endgame after rewatching Infinity War. What a load of boring fucking crap. Clearly I’m in the minority given it’s made 2.7 gajillionbity dollars....

But fuck me that was rubbish. Wow.

I watched Brightburn on Blu-ray last night. I went in to this movie totally blind to the premise and overall liked it but with the caveat it's not a great movie.

The plot is basically a dark mirror telling of the origin of a Superman-like baby who crashes to earth in a small spacecraft on a Kansas farm and adopted by a childless couple. You could trace the story back to The Bible and in the case of "What A Twist" stories on Supermans origin, it's really been done countless times especially the past few decades. This version includes a lot of horror/gore elements which gave the film a bit of an edge.

The movie's far from perfect and seems polarizing to most viewers who have seen it - either love or hate it. The idea that "Superman" comes to our planet and eventually becomes a soulless, homicidal maniac with the sole intention of fucking with humankind like a twisted kid using a magnifying glass to burn ants for chuckles seems a bit one-dimensional. One the other hand, most of the characters react to situations logically and don't do stupid things for "GOTCHA!" moment like most horror/slasher flicks these days which was refreshing.

I disagree, it was long, but I would watch it again. It helped watching Pulp Fiction again before seeing it. It was nice to see so many cameos. I loved the soundtrack as always.

So this movie "Fanatic" is written, directed, produced, etc by Fred Durst(!) and stars John Travolta doing what appears to be the Simple Jack character from Tropic Thunder as an obsessed fan of some actor. On it's opening weekend, the movie grossed something like $3,500.00 nationwide and has been brutally panned by critics. It looks so godawful, I have to see it.

:lolol: Me too :cool:

It can't be worse than this one. I saw this one in a movie theater. Unbelievably awful. Both De Niro and Travolta did it just for the money.

See, this is weird, because there's an old movie staring De Niro called "The Fan" that seems like it's the same exact premise as "The Fanatic" except about sports.

DiNero's done some awful movies. I think he saw Nicolas Cage's career arc and thought he could one-up him.

His last great one to me was Ronin. I think he started taking shitty film roles to help fund the Tribeca Film Festival

Saw Leave No Trace about a homeless vet and his daughter who lived in Forest Park (a large urban park in portland) for 4 years undetected. It was really really good.

It was based on true story from early 2000s, but its pretty much that times 1000 here now... :wavesad:
