Re: What movies are you watching?
Finally saw The Revenant.
I liked okay. Leo was good & it obviously was a demanding role but was he any better than he was in, say, Gangs of New York or Revolutionary Road? It felt long, especially in the back half. Some great camera work though.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Someone should've told me that the How Did This Get Made? episode on "Wild Wild West" was just Kevin Smith talking about Superman for 45 minutes and I wouldn't have watched that godforsaken movie.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Is it just the clip of Smith's "stand-up" lecture thing where he discusses WWW? That talk-back is hilarious. I could listen to it forever.Simple Torture wrote:Someone should've told me that the How Did This Get Made? episode on "Wild Wild West" was just Kevin Smith talking about Superman for 45 minutes and I wouldn't have watched that godforsaken movie.

That guy repeats himself way too fucking much, but I get the feeling that if they invited him on that specific episode it was probably to get him to tell that story.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Sort of. The tl;dr version is: the guy who produced WWW was also going to produce Superman Lives and wanted Smith to put a giant spider at the end of it, so when Smith saw WWW he figured the producer finally got his wish.theplatypus wrote:That guy repeats himself way too fucking much, but I get the feeling that if they invited him on that specific episode it was probably to get him to tell that story.

The Nice Guys.
Well, it was a disappointment. Its well crafted, its funny, i loved the kid and Gosling but there was something missing....there was no mood. Everything that i love about Kiss Kiss Bang Bang wasnt here, it felt like a pale imitator.
Still, its an ok movie.

Miles Ahead.
Interesting, its not the kind of biopics we are used to see...its not a great movie, but Cheadle really shines here, not only as Davis, but as director and writer too...the guy puts some really great work here...there re some really cool scenes (the boxing scene is pretty cool)
The movie might have its flaws, but i can see its coming from a very nice place, and like i said, its not the mainstream biopic hollywood is used to do.

I really wanted to like it, but it was so corny and dumb at times. Crowe and Gosling were fun to watch though.VinylGuy wrote:The Nice Guys.

I got free tickets to see The Killing Joke on the big screen. It looks really crappy!

I've never been able to get into that art style. Some people are crazy about it, though. It's so ugly.

yeah, i have consider on going but, it does look cheap...The backgrounds seems like a blurry thing in pretty much every scene in the trailer.

Saw Tickled tonight. Had no idea what it was about other than "Competitive Endurance Tickling." It goes down a major rabbit hole and I was super intrigued throughout.

It reminded me a little of a Murakami book. Just bizarre stuff.

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.
