The list is fine. Fight Club is obviously way too low. And I would have those movies in a totally different order. But other than that, it's fine.

Me (half paying attention): Sure.
Son (who is 12): Like that guy in Hail Caeser.

I could see Tarantino casting Hateful Eight actor Walton Goggins as his Charles Manson, but I think it should be Scoot McNairy.
Please consider voting for me

I'd be good with that. I fucking hate Scoot McNairy. So that works.

Has anyone else seen Tommy Wiseau's sitcom The Neighbors? Ho-lee fuck. It is 10x more insane than The Room.

They play a CGI interstitial every 1-2 minutes of a T Rex eating a chicken. Why???

What I like about The Room is its earnestness. It is insane, but it is completely genuine. I feel like Tommy bought into his own wacky persona too much after The Room blew up. I am not sure if I would enjoy this

I am obsessed with this scene. Easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Been catching up on some trailers today. The Post, Red Sparrow, and The Disaster Artist all look awesome. Not sure what to make of Phantom Thread yet. If I didn't know PTA made it, I would not be interested based on that trailer.

I am so happy Francis Lawrence is doing something interesting. He is maybe one of the best stylists around these days, but he has been tied up in shitty material for years.tragabigzanda wrote:Damn, just watched the Red Sparrow trailer and that does look awesome.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Been catching up on some trailers today.
