By Freewheelin Go To PostStar Wars TROS looks fun, but I have a bad feeling about it. lolLooks like pure Abrams fluff.
I couldn't even make it through Shazam last night; I got to the power-testing montage set to Queen and then gave up. This is a movie with 90% on RT

By Not Go To PostI couldn't even make it through Shazam last night; I got to the power-testing montage set to Queen and then gave up. This is a movie with 90% on RTBecause it's a fun movie and you watched like 25% of it.
How
By Not Go To PostSo the fun starts at the 26% mark?I can't remember but since you are not enjoying it, just don't watch it, it's clearly not for you.
I personally really liked Shazam, felt like a super hero version of the Goonies or Big. Had a better time with it than with Spider Man Far From Home.
I thought TLJ was a fine and did something a Star Wars film never did, it surprised me.
ROS might not live up to the lofty expectations, but damn, those lads and lasses know how to cut a trailer.

By data Go To PostShazam is the only good super hero movie.
I watched it on a flight because I had already watched everything else on the movie selection, was really bored during the middle of the movie and then I blinked for a second and noticed the credits rolling. turns out I fell asleep.
By data Go To PostShazam is the only good super hero movie.Breh how can you say this when Spider-Verse exists
Watched Zombieland Double Tap yesterday, fun movie.
How does Jesse Eisenberg keep getting casted to just play himself?

It was better than Endgame by a country mile at least.
By aka Espi Go To PostWatched Zombieland Double Tap yesterday, fun movie.Most successful self-insert screenwriters are Eisenberg types

By inky Go To PostJJ saving Star Wars again. What else is new.🤫
Terminator Dark Fate reviews are coming out. A few are negative, the majority seem to be very positive, almost all say it's the best one since Judgement Day (which isn't exactly a high bar).
"They're made as commodities like hamburgers, and it's not about communicating, and it's not about sharing our imagination," he said. "It's about making a commodity which will make a profit for a big corporation – they're a cynical exercise. They're a market exercise, and it has nothing to do with the art of cinema. William Blake said, 'When money is discussed, art is impossible.'"He's not wrong.
By data Go To PostDredd is a pretty good movieSeverly underrated movie and hopefully that TV adaptation will happen.
By data Go To PostDredd is a pretty good movieSo good.
are super-hero movie fans and the people that make them not aware that those movies aren't respected by film makers?
is this a shocker to them? do they enjoy them less because of it?

By rvy Go To Postare super-hero movie fans and the people that make them not aware that those movies aren't respected by film makers?You are talking about people who thought Black Panther was a legitimate Oscar contender and that The Winter Soldier was the best political thriller since All The President's Men.

The time someone tried to do something a bit different, they hated it (Iron Man 3).
well not that I think the oscars has any meaning or is a measuring stick for anything
´but I refuse to believe people like that exist

This sounds like a case of everyone taking themselves too seriously imo. Then again that's Hollywood for you.
As a CBM fan I’m well aware and I don’t really care either, but then again I’m not 12 so I don’t care about anyone’s opinion.
Maybe I’m just weird but I can enjoy Spider-Man FFH and Endgame and also enjoy movies like Ad Astra and The Lighthouse

Sometimes you just want fast food or a buffet. Doesn't mean you can't or don't appreciate fine dining. And sometimes the food can be just too shit or too pretentious.
After Hours
Like if ‘Good Time’ and ‘The Big Lebowski’ met in a time machine and had a baby.
It’s hilarious to see the current online discourse writing Scorsese off as a guy who makes ‘crime movies about shitty white guys’ when, nine movies into a wildly eclectic ouevre that even handles crime and gangsters in idiosyncratic fashoon, there is not many directors like Martin Scorsese, who is acutely aware of the shittiness of the privileged white male.
Take Griffin Dunne’s Paul: a man who checks his watch and walks away from training new employees in the middle of conversations; who arranges a date with a woman and then hits on her roommate; who is put off by hints of physical imperfections; who treats the working-class - be it taxi drivers, train station employees or the myriad women working in the arts or service industry he encounters over the course of the evening - horrifically.
And like Dorothy says, there’s no place like home - that home, seen only briefly, a coffee-table and a blank wall being the only thing the audience sees; Paul’s desire to get back home to that empty, soulless apartment makes his ordeal even more amusing. In the end, he’s back to his white-collar job, with no one noticing or caring about the evening he’s had; a punishment that fits the crime. Like Orpheus, looking back over his shoulder constantly because of his arrogance and impatience, Paul routinely gets in pickles of his own making, rather than the Kafka-esque circumstances of fate he wants you to believe. Scorsese’s direction here is incredible; it’s gleeful, wild abandon, indicative of the kind of fun he has when working in genre, a la ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Hugo’ far later in his career.
A hilarious skewering of the yuppie lifestyle, long before ‘American Psycho’ turned it to eleven, with a brilliant soundtrack, one of the tightest, most satisfying scripts of Scorsese’s career, and a truly outstanding performance by Griffin Dunne in the lead.

By rvy Go To Postwell not that I think the oscars has any meaning or is a measuring stick for anythingThe guy who directed Godfather III and Dracula should probably shut the fuck tho... 🤫
´but I refuse to believe people like that exist

By blackace Go To PostThe guy who directed Godfather III and Dracula should probably shut the fuck tho… 🤫Yes, he should respect the cinematic genius behind You, Me and Dupree, Yes Man and Bring It On
By Freewheelin Go To PostDracula is good! Love the style and mood in that filmDracula is kind of trashy superhero movie tho
By blackace Go To PostThe guy who directed Godfather III and Dracula should probably shut the fuck tho… 🤫it evens itself out with apocalypse now and the 1st two godfathers
By LFMartins86 Go To PostYes, he should respect the cinematic genius behind You, Me and Dupree, Yes Man and Bring It Onor realize it's not really his place to decide what is cinema.
I don't think Marvel movies are great or even that good... but I know they are cinema...
