Re: What movies are you watching?
I really enjoyed it. And I’ve seen it multiple times. It’s really good for the genre, relatively speaking.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Watched 65. Mixed feelings. The film falls squarely on the shoulders of the two leads, and the fact that they did such a great job is what saves this mess of tired tropes and plasticky CGI dinosaurs. I liked it, overall, and especially enjoyed some of the more ridiculous moments towards the end, but this would've failed completely with a different set of actors.

The mom kind of freaked me out a bit, felt sorry for the kid. All in all it was ok, nothing special.JuanHamm wrote:Anders wrote:The Babadook
First time. Hopefully it’s a good one.
I really didn't like this movie. Not scary at all.

Most annoying kid in the history of cinema.

He was meant to be annoying. It was kind of the point. Great acting job.

"It was kind of the point" seemed condescending. Of course I realize it was the point. But my reply was too harsh. It should have just been "No shit"

I do tend to come off as condescending sometimes, unintentionally. I'm sorry I offended you. I was more just thinking out loud and confirming Anders' comment that he did a good job and why it was a good job.Jorge wrote:"It was kind of the point" seemed condescending.

I want to watch Amadeus again but don't want to pay for it. I watched a history buff video about it on youtube and apparently it's probably not very historically accurate at all. Fun to watch it as if it's from the perspective of an insane unreliable narrator. Though Mozart apparently really was very weird and childish.

The Babadook scared me so much I went and got a vasectomy immediately afterwards.

Last Flag Flying. Pretty good so far. Didn't realize this was a Linklater joint.

Pride
Loved this in the cinema, should be a good second viewing.

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.
