Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

none of that comic book stuff should be there, except maybe Deadpool.

Bridesmaids should be #1, regardless of how you may feel about that movie -- it blew the roof off female-driven comedies as a viable genre.

And how is The Heat not on there? Another one that was hugely popular.

PopStar is awful

I personally would've liked to see 21 Jump Street. And I have yet to see In The Loop, but it's so universally admired that I have trouble believing to doesn't deserve a spot.

I kind of get your boner for Bridesmaids, but it really wasn't all that good.

I absolutely loved it, but again, that shouldn't really matter. It completely changed the game for the genre.

Well it certainly gets a tick for not falling into the whole - 'You know that movie from your childhood that you absolutely loved? Well get this - we're gonna re-do it, but this time with all female leads! Oh - that movie didn't do it for you? Well how about this other film that you loved, and this time......wait for it.......all female leads!' category

Comedy is a dead genre.

Yeah, there is a lot of crap in that list.

This is the end deserves a higher place there.

nice

[Biff Pocoroba]

Wow, there's not a lot of good '10s comedies.
It would be hard for me to list 10 really good and truly funny ones.

Comedies suck in a woke environment.

I don't think that's fair. "Woke" shouldn't be a factor.

[Monkey_Driven]

No one really makes $25-$75 million dollar movies anymore. Comedies are just a casualty of the new business model.

[E.H. Ruddock]

It doesn't cost extra to write funny stuff though

No, it does not.

skip to 2 minutes

[bune]

taint stab...lol

that was good but also terrible. weird music choices and cuts.

and yeah, that two-minute skip was a good idea. wow.

[BurtReynolds]

I appreciate that the Wick fights don't usually feel like a dance routine (though I think there are a couple of exceptions) and that they are not horrible shaky cam, so I agree with him there. I also agree that the knife museum fight was amazing and part 2 was the weakest of the bunch.

My main criticism with the movies is the corny world building. I don't care about the secret society of assassins shit at all.

[bune]

I'd care about it if it made sense but 3 was basically 2.5 and they should have ended on three with him killing the master in the desert. as is they lost sight of what was a promising story. I mean an assassin's guild with QA enforcers? wtf?

I don't know if Richard Jewell is "Clint Eastwood's best film in a decade" or not. But Olivia Wilde is in it. So it will be the first Clint Eastwood film I've seen in a decade.
