What movies are you watching?

I rewatched 12 Monkeys a few years back and found the use of fisheye or whatever camera fuckery to be distracting. I must have been smoking the good stuff to be in love with that movie in my late teens. It's pretty good but definitely stops short of "great".

Still, some excellent performances.

I'm overdue for a rewatch

Young Guns. The beginning of this is pretty silly, but it's solid. Billy The Kid is really a deranged narcissist and terrible leader in this. It's interesting that they make little attempt to make him a good guy.

The Eagle (2011) - boy this one is just dogshit. I usually don't care much about historical accuracy, but this one is too stupid at times. Typical Hollywood hero with standard modern values. Boring as fuk. I do not like Channing Tatum.

Solomon Kane (2009) - For a cheap b-movie, this one is pretty competent. Knock off Hugh Jackman is good. Not enough budget to do more than kill a bunch of bald guys over and over, but it was fine.

I love The Eagle. Who gives a fuck about historical accuracy, it looks gorgeous

Because Captain Tatum leading the boys out and going tetsudo formation like it's some kind of video game special move to rescue some dudes was the dumbest shit ever. That would usually make me laugh, but with this movie it's just lame. Way to castrate the bad guys as incompetent losers.

I'm fine with a movie being dumb as long as it's also pretty

It would have worked if they had to dodge some arrows or spears or something. But no, they just formed up like that just in case the savages can fly I guess?

An insult to the Roman Empire!

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.

Oh man I love The Eagle. Mostly because it covers an area of the world and history that I really like, but also the cinematography. Get bent Burt!

[BurtReynolds]

Centurion is better, if I remember correctly.

[BurtReynolds]

I probably don't.

[LoathedVermin72]

Centurion sucksssss. Neil Marshall is terrible.

What about King Arthur 2004? The Roman one.

I didn't like it when I saw it, but it's been a long time and I am generally pro-Fuqua
