What movies are you watching?

Spike, have you seen Terrifier 1 or 2? That's a real clown

[JuanHamm]

Chapter Two has a pretty great cast, but that clown creeps me out too much to watch.

Don't worry. It's not a scary movie at all. It's more silly.

[Jorge]

I also love It Chapter 2 yet I don’t feel a need to use it to demonstrate how superior my film-viewing intellect is. Just been quietly loving it ever since it came out. Unlike some people.

Hehe

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.

Should be a good long weekend for movies, this will be the first one.

37th last movie from 2015

[The Argonaut]

Last night, I finally saw the movie that almost certainly has the longest tenure on 'the list'. You know, 'I havent seen it but it's on the list", the list of movies I want to see. Bound (1996), directed of course by the Wachowskis.

It made the list because I fell in love with The Matrix when I was 13, but I didn't watch it because my impression was that it was a lesbian sex movie and that's overwhelming (not to mention inaccessible) to a thirteen year old. By the time I was capable of watching sexy movies (say age 19 or 20), I had kind of fallen out of love with the Matrix through over-watching. (Luckily, that period has passed).

But I'm over all that now and I've finally seen Bound. It was so great!

There are a couple of sexy scenes at the beginning, but there's a lot more going on. The star of the movie, both in terms of strength of performance but also just pure screentime and being the protagonist that drives the narrative the most, is an increasingly desperate Joe Pantoliano.

There's also just a bunch of fun stylistic things going on, interesting twists that transform what would otherwise be regular scenes into beautiful set pieces, some weird stuff going on with the sound effects, just a lot of fun and really beautiful. I can see the through-line to The Matrix, even though there are no sci-fi elements in this movie.

Loved it

[Mecca]

Sure are a lot of RMers claiming to enjoy and understand this “super misunderstood” movie.

What if the real misunderstood clown was trag all along?

It is very sexy for about half an hour. But a good and cool sexy. Then it gets less sexy and more interesting. Very playful, cinematic

Wanted to see this one for a while.

It was ok. Looks like the actors had a good time.

Really enjoyed this. Jake Gyllenhaal is a hell of an actor.
