What movies are you watching?

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.

yeah, its not an interesting story at all. Even their convictions are so light, i just dont care about it. I was surprised on how light the whole thing was.

Right?! "So and so got off with a slap on the wrist, roll credits."

yeah...SO SHE BOUGHT A NEW HOME AND CHANGED HER JOB.

6 Underground was so much fucking fun. What a blast. My only complaint is I wish it was an hour longer.

To any who have seen it and likely watch more movies than I do; any recommendations for similarly good action flicks?

it looks like it'd been better in a real theater with gigantic speakers, how was it on Netflix?

I watched it on my phone but I watch just about everything on my phone. I can appreciate a good 1080p surround sound set up but I like to watch movies in multiple, sleep-interrupted sessions with my head on my pillow.

Zombieland: Double Tap - what a blast! I thoroughly enjoyed this

Angry Birds 2. not as horrible as you'd think? it's kind of like an SNL skit in a movie since there are so many SNL alum in it. the little bird skits peppered throughout were wildly inconsistent in quality/humor but weren't terrible either.

maybe a C, C- for the story but the animation was great. there were several parts where it almost looked like they switched from CGI to a weird Laika stop motion hybrid because the texture/light work on the models.

The Irishman: Scorcese on auto pilot, but still better than most anything else. Good to see De Niro and Pacino and Pesci interact with each other.

Klaus: literally the story of a globalist/capitalist power colonizing some far off land using the powers of consumerism, greed and materialism to destroy the backwards, evil traditions of the natives and ultimately assimilate them into safe, meaningless, mainstream culture. And the colonizers are the good guys.

Neat visuals though. Maybe 2D animation can make a comeback using these techniques?

[bune]

agreed on Klaus. it looked amazing, story was only so-so.

[BurtReynolds]

By the way, why is Anna Paquin in that movie? A mannequin could have played that role.

Harvey Keitel too for that matter.

[BurtReynolds]

Nope. Couldn't do it. Could only last 30 minutes into Cats. James Corden claims another victim.

[bune]

you at least downloaded it, right?

No I paid, but now I'm watching Star Wars for free.

I still feel ripped off.

Mixed feelings about Marriage Story, but I really liked the "Being Alive" scene. That kind of got to me

Same. I thought it was mostly good

Idk. I just like shitting on movies without having seen them. You know what I'm talking about, eh tree?

I know I'm a bigger Baumbach fan than a lot of others around here, so it's no surprise at all that I'm super excited to watch this movie. The timing just hasn't worked out. But I can't wait!
