The only thing I remember about Brotherhood of the Wolf is the scene transition where a boobie turns into a mountain

You know what's a good movie? Six Degrees of Separation. 

Every time I see it (literally I've only ever seen it twice) I wonder why Will Smith didn't do more of this kind of thing in his career. He can really be a phenomenal actor. His "imagination" monologue had me as misty-eyed as Donald Sutherland.



I was joking with my wife that Jada beats him and forces him to only take big money Will Smith-as-Will Smith roles.

Just realised Embracer Group now owns the film rights to Lord of the Rings.

Lol, this upcoming Hunt for Gollum film is going to be arse.

Watched Marie Antionette with the wife last night.

I actually watched it in theaters when it came out too. Last night, as in ancient history, I came away with the same impression: what's the point of this movie?

I mean, I get it. The idea seems to be to encourage audiences to check their assumptions about Marie Antionette (and by extension, scions of royalty more generally)--she was just a girl! Married at 14! Insulated from anything other than the hermetic seal of the high court lifestyle! What justice does it serve to hold her accountable?!

And I think that's fine, and I agree...but you get to that conclusion within the first 30 minutes of the movie and then it's just Marie Antoinette doing girly teen girl things for the rest of the runtime. 

I also was reminded of the missed opportunity for additional anachronistic BS. It was certainly marketed a certain way, but aside from some music choices and a shot of a pair of converse, they do very little with that idea.

Marty Supreme. 

I like it but that's just too much, too long, too acting, too musicy 6/10

That lady from until dawn movie sucks, no more movies with her for me

Bone Temple was fucking great. Even if you were cool on 28 Years, you should check it out. Hope the third movie still gets made.

[Potato]

I always liked 28 Days/Months because they were grounded in gritty reality even though they were zombie flicks. Years just went too much into fantasy and it pissed me off.

So, I was scrolling through a local cinema listing looking for somewhere that will be showing the Iron Maiden documentary in May and noticed some interesting release dates for upcoming movies (at least here in Aus).

• Minions and Monsters opens on the same day as Toy Story 5. WTF? Didn't even know there was a new Minions movie and they have sent it out to die.
  
• There's a Cliffhanger remake starring Lily James and Pierce Brosnan. Who asked for this?
  
• Dune Part 3 and Avengers Doomsday release on the same day. That will be when the death of the MCU is officially pronounced.
  

Just some random thoughts.

Still haven't found a listing for the Iron Maiden doco

I think if Tarantino had originally released the new Kill Bill version it would be seen as his greatest film. 4hrs sounds like a lot but it flows by.

dark comedy about a french vamp who doesn't want to kill. I am appreciating it with a nice bottle of chardonnay right now, bois

Volume 1 was hot garbage. Never saw volume 2.

Volume 1 was hot garbage. Never saw volume 2.

I have been waiting to encounter this opinion my whole life.

1 and 2 are very different movies—so much so that I always doubted even Tarantino’s own words out of his mouth about intending it to be one film.

Moreover, 2 is so much better as a standalone experience than 1 could ever be. It’s worth checking out particularly if you didn’t like the first.

I haven’t watched them in some time and intend on watching the joined cut.

But to this day, inexplicably, guys born in the 80s hold a strong affinity for Japan from Kill Bill 1 and Lost in Translation. Many, many times I’ve been asked about the hotels or restaurants from the movies. I’ve been asked to take photos in the elevator or bar at park hyatt shinjuku.

Older folks japanophile thing is Kurosawa. Younger is animu. Strange generation.

[Potato]

I like Kurosawa and Yoji Yamada.

Kill Bill 1 was when Tarantino jumped the shark for me.

Really missed opportunity to have part 2 come out 3 days later

[benji]

They should have only announced the first part and then shadowdropped the second part three days later.

I got a free month of Apple TV and am testing it out by putting on…The Family Plan 2.

Not seven minutes in, there’s been prominent product placement for AirPods, iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks.

That’s enough of that.

One of the lesser known aspects of Apple's marketing over the past few decades has been the huge focus put on product placement in movies and TV. It was hard to find a movie in the 2010s where a laptop was used that wasn't a Mac.

The thing is, Apple stuff is only used by "good guys," and the bad guys all use off-brand items, Android stuff, or fake-Windows items. It's cloddish.

I needed a flash drive and found one with a video file called Gemini Man on it. Oddly large file size without a set file size. So I plug it into my TV and watch it.

Turns out it’s a pre-slap Will Smith where the gimmicks are de-aging and occasional high frame rate action scenes. I don’t know if it’s a mix of both causing all the action to feel like those scenes in Blade 2 where there’s a digital double and they become rubber people. A lot of the action has cuts to first person scenes to be immersive?

The young Will Smith acts like he’s 13 but he’s meant to be into his 20s. There’s a bit where Clive Owen goes “are you hungry? Come on, champ. Let’s get you a bowl of cereal.” and the next scene he’s randomly eating a cone of ice cream like “oh boy ice cream!”. It’s so weird. Later he’s telling the lovely Mary Elizabeth Winstead to strip to check for wires, and he’s acting like Forrest Gump at Jenny’s dorm.

There’s another twist towards the end where a magic bulletproof cyborg man shows up and you’re immediately thinking “it’s another will smith”. And they turbo kill him (without damaging his face), and upon unmasking, are shocked to discover another will smith.

This movie was so crap, I felt like I had wasted my time even though I watched it on an 11-hour transpacific flight in a middle seat from which I could barely escape frequently enough to piss. 

Do you know how difficult it is for me to dislike a Mary Elizabeth Winstead appearance? It's difficult. Very difficult.
