It would be a massive spoiler to say when.
I was so happy to see Rockwell and McDormand both take home Oscars for their performances. Especially Rockwell.
I've watched The Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name, Baby Driver, and I, Tonya all in the past couple weeks. I didn't think I would like SoW, but oh wow was I wrong. And Baby Driver was really awesome too. I had heard about it being unique, and that the editing was top notch, but not one person who raved about it mentioned how integral music was to the previous points. Loved it.
i tried to watch the Ship of Wango but i had a back ache so i had it replaced with a dorsal fin. I'm more aerodynamic when i run hunched over
I honestly can't figure out why you bother to post.
I saw some theaters were going to be playing a marathon (31 hours!) of all the marvel universe movies before the release of whatever the next one is. My question- does anybody still watch them? I can’t remember the last one I saw in theaters, and I’d have to go back even further to remember one I really enjoyed.
I recently saw Black Panther and it was so good!
Was it really though, or is that white guilt speaking?
Lol ffs.
Just saw Django unchained. It was pretty decent... Tarantino has a unique style. I kind of feel like GTA 5 pulls off that sort of thing better than he does nowadays though.
I recommend The Vanishing of Sidney Hall and You Were Never Really Here
So I finally watched Alien:Covenant yesterday.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Perfect sunday afternoon entertainment. Was it amazing? No
Was it a total abomination worthy of all the 1/10 votes on IMDB? Don't be daft.
It was probably 4.5 or 5/10.
Yes, there's plenty about it that doesn't make sense at all (I have no idea why pathogen bombs were dropped or how he even got around to dropping them on the engineer colony, or what that humanoid looking alien was about) but was it big budget, slickly produced sicfi that jotted along at a decent pace? Yep.
Fassbender acted circles around most of the cast and it's beautifully shot in places. It does feel however as if some of the film was palmed off to a sub director. There's moments of Scott, then there's moments that feel like any other working director.
I will say in hindsight it makes Prometheus look *even* better as it was much more cohesive in aesthetic and atmosphere, and also feel that Scott using 6 different VFX houses for Covenent was a mistake that clearly visible throughout the film.
I doubt I'd watch it again, but I'll gladly say I've seen a dozen other far worse decent budget scifi films. I also think people have a rose tinted nostalgia for the the first Alien(s) films - when the baby alien first pops out of the tummy, it looks like a hand puppet and and speeds across the floor like a muppet running. I actually giggle when I see it now.

Actually, both films are very similar in that the titular monster is very rarely on screen. The chestburster is on screen for literally about 20 seconds, and the shot of it launching across the table is about a second long. When Bruce the shark finally starts showing his face in detail near the end of Jaws, he's on screen for minutes on end in full daylight and it's just as clearly a rubber animatronic (not to mention unrealistically proportioned) as the chestburster is a puppet. In both cases it doesn't really matter, because the film has earned your belief in the monster by that point.
Alien has actually aged remarkably well on a purely visual level. The cinematography doesn't look dated at all. If you Google random stills, you can see that pretty much every shot still looks fantastic. The only other film I can think of from the 1970s that doesn't clearly look like it was shot in the 1970s is Apocalypse Now. The set design and general mise en scene also holds up brilliantly. Everything you see on screen still looks pretty plausible today in terms of its design, and there are precious few science fiction films from the '70s you can say that about. Probably the only thing that looks dated is "Mother", the supercomputer.
The loin king is my favourite porn
The Commuter with Liam Neeson was good entertainment.
AHh sHeet guys....Who here remember's the Shymalan's Unbreakable with Bruce Willis?
This is where you can fantasize on reality when it comes to evolutionary human like super powers where balance from one end of the spectrum meets the other via Mr Glass and Bruce Willis's character imo. I want to watch split which part of the this universe, so he there too ya'll.
The funny thing is, I loved Unbreakable when it came out and people generally hated it, and it got pretty panned by the critics.
I thought it was somewhat a perfect Superhero film (although i generally hate them and haven't seen any of the silly Avengers or Marvel commercial products/nonsense being hurled at us).
I hope they stay low key with glass, like Unbreakable was. You didn't really know what it was about until you were in it and I'm worried that the new one is going to be a CGI shitfest all about superpowers.
I'm with you Rann 100%. I so hate that marvel/dc crap that gets put out nowadays, however this right here is the real deal. So yeah lets hope its good as the first one.
Unbreakable was great. They tried too hard with Split (very over rated film IMO), and it seems that the only thing that will save Glass is a surprise-twist ending (which is expected).
I watched Avengers: Infinity War, damn what a cool movie.
It totally didn't end like I expect it would. Still there are a lot of questions, definitely one to watch twice.
Hopefully the next one in May 2019 continues where this one ends and answers some questions.
Serious:
Am I the only person that couldn't give a flying fuck about any of the marvel / dc superhero cash vehicles?
I'd like to say I simply don't give a fuck about them, but in truth I actively despise them. I thought the trend for strip-mining comic books was going to exhaust itself a decade ago when they started adapting comics I'd never heard of, but instead it's only intensified.
all super hero movies should be illegal, the best one i seen was one i directed which was a spoof on the dark knight. it was called the black knight with wesley snipes playing mandingo
