What movies are you watching?

[The Argonaut]

Worse. There's at least some effort in that one, even if it is ultimately a huge misfire.

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.

Eric Andre and Will Arnett make me want to shout with joy

About halfway through Popstar. The only funny parts are the TMZ spoofs with Eric Andre and Will Arnett.

That movie needed more Bill Hader. "The Joel Schumacher film...shot by Jan de Bont."

Yea, I'd watch a whole movie with those two characters.

I wish avatars didn't change on past posts.

just curious, what exactly did you guys find visually stimulating? it was fine, just little jumped out at me

For me, I think the first thing is how spirals are used. There's a great coiled snake visual metaphor throughout. It's first seen in the very beginning of the film, in the way the car moves through the scene and the mounting sense of danger that winds with it. And then throughout the movie there are constant references to rattle snakes. Of course there's significant payoff for this at the climax of the film.

Beyond that I think the color palette is fantastic. There's a great sense of dust and heat in every image which ads so much to the tone and the overall atmosphere. The use of light is lovely. Good use of thirds. Yeah, I think it's excellent.

That's what I love about movies, people who know what they're talking about talk about them. I do not know what I'm talking about, I just know that a movie like No Country for Old Men (to use the first one that comes to mind) looks beautiful and every article or post I read about it makes me love it more. The negative ones as well because even they show me what I can't/don't see.

Watched Lion last night. Dragged a wee bit in places, but I really enjoyed it

[The Argonaut]

The Foinder is a damn fine film. Michael Keaton delivers the best performance of a salesman at work since Jon Hamm in Mad Men. The movie is a compelling investigation of everything that is beautiful and disgusting about capitalism and ambition. It doesn't shove any answers about the issues it raises down on our throats, either. Highly recommended

10 Cloverfield Lane



It was OK, but the end was incredibly stupid.

[The Argonaut]

The Founder*...I saw it yesterday and haven't stopped thinking about it since. I went immediately after seeing La La Land, and I'm so glad I did. I think I would still be angry and depressed if I went right home after seeing that shite.

Concussion is severely misunderstood, and quite brilliant. It's much more than some social message movie about football injuries; it explores what happens when the American ideal collides with corrupt American reality. I found it deeply moving and profoundly tragic, but never cynical. Furthermore, Will Smith just disappears in that role. I thought he was amazing. The character feels so lived in and fully realized.
