Yikes.
I don’t know if I’ve ever gasped and I cry once a decade , but that doesn’t mean I won’t like it.
I still need to watch that.
It’s funny because Christians are biblically forbidden to eat certain foods too. They just ignore it like they do Jesus’ teachings.
I know it’s tv and films he’s rightfully known for, but I was more recently impressed with his emotional work on Red Dead Redemption II. I think I first saw him in Dances With Wolves when I was a kid.
You never know who will consider their time wasted or well spent.
And he’s good in it, but I wouldn’t call the role particularly funny. I did think he was funny in Scott Pilgrim, but that was just for a few minutes.
I think it’s a nearly perfect movie. Bale gives one of my favorite performances. If you still don’t like it, don’t worry about it. Not liking a movie other people like isn’t really one of life’s mysteries. It’s just a subjective reaction to art. There’s no right or wrong.
And I appreciate that he didn’t forget to love his hero. Murphy wasn’t just an idea. He was a full character. It has one of my favorite endings of the 80s. It ended on the perfect second.
The new Red Sonja movie reveals a terrible secret of humanity. Uwe Boll apparently created his own film school. The movie is actually hurt by having clear cinematography. The movie would have benefitted from me not being sure of what I was seeing. #Filmsky
I still haven’t gone to MeowWolf. It’s on the list. Also, I do fantastic fungi sometimes , so I’d be fine with half of my house being like this.
Awwww. I miss my pet squirrel. That was almost 25 years ago.
Horror movie ?
I thought Abyss opened a little later that year.
It has really well shot moments, but I think I only felt tension during the Tim Robbins sequence. That son was pretty much emo Jar-Jar Binks. I was so mad when he survived.
We don’t need people photoshopping shit like this. Just make the statement yourself.
Absolutely. There aren’t many things you can’t make for way less. Most meals aren’t difficult. I rarely eat out. I cook all my favorite foods. I only eat Whataburger when I visit my dad. It’s more of a nostalgia thing.
Ok. Gotcha. I didn’t know who else had Whataburger.
Damn. Maybe the part of Tx you’re in is more expensive. That can certainly impact price. I’m paying pretty much the same price between Corpus and San Antonio. 13 ish.
Shit. What was your order? My double meat and cheese combo with a shake is still around 13.
I vaguely remember kind of liking it because I thought it had some good moments where the killer burst into frame. I also vaguely remember a plot point similar to Ghostbusters. That’s all I got.
Boober represents me.
…..I read while Fraggle Rock plays in the background.
I agree about it being the Burtoniest Burton film. It oozes confident Burtonicity.
I’m pretty sure that’s meant to be a joke. Like it’s inexplicable that he’d get that much attention and somehow not be amazed by it.
Better in almost every way. Blade Runner is a strong film in many ways , but it had moderate weaknesses. 2049 improves greatly in terms of script and overall performances. It has one weak special FX moment, but it’s pretty much a masterpiece otherwise.
He was talking about an incorrect attitude he had years ago. A false concern when the real issue came with someone else. I don’t get how that’s not really clear.
Whenever that dude ran…
Many people would rather BE wrong than admit to ever BEING wrong. You swallowed that jagged pill. They chose the kool-aid.
I don’t fault anyone for grabbing a nice payday for what has to be an easy day’s work. Maybe they can buy a house. Maybe a car. Maybe a donation to charity. Maybe a friend needs help. It doesn’t increase the chance of me buying a product , but go get that bag.
*Hell
I honestly struggle to think of any well-known/well-liked meals that I’ve had and hated. Usually, my worst reaction is “meh”. I just haven’t encountered many flavors I don’t like. He’ll. Durian is one of my favorite foods.
Both creatures demand perfection.
I just heard him tell me to wait until I can see his next movie for free.
She has specifically spoken out against Trump’s bullshit. Just because YOU don’t hear someone say something doesn’t mean the thing was never said. I don’t even follow her and I still know she spoke out. You’re making assumptions based on your personal lack of data. Weird.
For me, he was real big hit, pretty big hit, wow….that’s some kind of deranged masterpiece, and then “Come here so that I can slap you.” Tarantino, Scorsese, The Coens, Eggers, Refn. All of my (at one point) favorite directors end up making something I don’t like at some point.
I think I’m only 2/3 sicko, tops. I was lukewarm to 2 of his movies, liked the next 2, loved the one after that, and then went into a quiet rage from loathing over the next. It’s a gamble. I like the tension.
I love that the director is so wild that he can make my favorite movie of one year and one of my least favorite movies the next year. Same with Ari Aster. I want them to take those big swings , even if it’s a miss for me.
Modern version of a confederate monument. Praise the traitors because they died for the right evil cause.
Fire schmire. They’ve got quotas to hit.
I’d like to kneecap whoever stuck the camera in the kid’s face.
There’s no more slippery slope. We already came off the slide. Now the question is how much further do we sink in the mud before trying to crawl back up.
The answer is simple. It’s just depressing. Stop trying to solve a complex mystery. It’s not there.
It was. Deer are all over my dad’s neighborhood. Sometimes they run away when I walk by. Often they don’t. This was the first time I had Bambi bump right into me.
Real world horrors aside, I’m not having a great week (Murphy’s Law), but a baby deer literally ran into me while I went on my morning walk. They were frolicking without looking straight ahead. Its mom watched her baby run right into my leg. It gave me a “whoa” look and continued to frolic.
I’ve only disliked 2 of their movies. 2, I only liked a tiny bit. The rest range from pretty darn good to great.
Love it. Toppings. Marinades. Solo. Pineapple and Jalapeño pizza for this guy. Sweet and spicy.
I find humorously exaggerating my situation helps put it into perspective. I’m allowed to acknowledge that something sucks and feel sucky about it, but I don’t want to make it my whole everything. I also make silly faces in the mirror like Soderberg in Schizopolis.
My problems aren’t as bad as yours , but when my back is so bad that it won’t even let me sneeze, I start doing my little impression of Zelda from Pet Sematary. When my hands won’t function …..Nosferatu.
As long as the initial post isn’t full of some kind of malice or condensed snark, it’s ok to just say “I disagree and here are my reasons.” You don’t have to jump straight into …..
It’s fine to disagree with some young person that says a movie isn’t a “horror movie” because horror clearly didn’t seem to be the main focus, but calibrate the rage a little. Most people that watch movies are just casual viewers. They don’t study all the acceptable, nerd-friendly discourse.
Being completely ruled is easier than thinking. Oppression is fine to them as long as the oppression doesn’t come into their own home.
Even my fairly conservative (Think a step to the left of Hank Hill) pastor father recognizes Christian nationalism as a threat to a nation and a bastardizing of real Christianity. “No true follower of Jesus would ever embrace Christian nationalism, fascism, or malicious bigotry of any kind.”
It could be a Muppet Babies version of Jurassic Park, but live action. Just a cute little baby T-Rex getting into mischief.
I just figured that was a party tray because of how often the dad has work meetings at the house. Or maybe good planning because of how often a dude in college showed up. The dad was wealthy. He could buy all the lunch meat he wanted. Can’t stop him.
If that’s their problem, it’s definitely not a unique one. It’s all stuff I can make better at home, but same goes for Denny’s and IHOP. It’s nice for older folk to be able to gather somewhere for bland food.
You need a better translation app. This is pure nonsense. You seem to be implying someone has a mental deficiency because they don’t like a certain actor. That’s a strange overreaction.
That’s unfortunately not true. Plenty would like it. Some have admitted it. As time goes on, more will admit it. Most don’t want it, but enough do to let it in the front door.
As long as I have my mattress, my dog, AC, a tv, internet, and a bunch of other things , I could dwell in a cave.
Bring Her Back.
Probably the perfect voice. Poor dude sounds nuts. Not hateful.
A proper initiation. Welcome to the tent.
Nothing says fun like spending 500 bucks on preventative care maintenance, only to spend another 2500 (not including tow) for a dealership to fix the damage from someone messing up the maintenance.
Where do you rank it against his other films ?
While I really like Ari Aster, I pretty much hated Eddington, but I don’t need to make a big deal out of it. I like that Aster is so dedicated to big swings and making sure his films don’t resemble each other. If some people liked it, great. I judge movies, not the people that watch them.
It’s maybe the 3rd shittiest thing he’s done, but still lame. Russian indeed has a valuable cinematic history. Now just isn’t the time to be praising them via zoom.
I was gonna say that. I’ve made a sort of ice cream with it.
I watched Tombstone for the first time in almost 20 years. That movie barely gets dragged across the finish line by the parts that work. A lot of it is clunky, poorly paced, poorly written, poorly edited, and poorly acted. A few performances and lines of dialogue save it. Bless Val Kilmer.

He never married Mia Farrow, so he wasn’t actually step-father to her adopted child from another marriage. He’s still a POS. The even bigger issue is that his adopted daughter Dylan accused him of molesting her when she was 7.
It’s so annoying. We called all this out, piece by piece. We were right about all of it. We’re not even that smart. We were just seeing what was right in front of us. Being right 20 times in a row is damn depressing. I’d love to wake up and be wrong.
Oh. Well he’s given us decades of weird takes. That was almost masochistic on your part. 😉 I’ll read your write-up later.
So did he say something stupid again lately ? I couldn’t find a recent thing that pissed people off. I get him not being interested in Toy Story 4. Solid movie , but his points were valid. 🤣
He’s a wildly talented douche that I find obnoxious and boring as a human. I can still enjoy the art, even though I walked out of his last movie with 15 minutes to go. But I sure do love several of his films.
Safe Haven is my favorite short from either film. If you took all my favorite bits from each film, you’d have 1 good movie, but I don’t like either film on their own.
Next up, stand for the anthem or catch a club to the skull.
I mean….should people be expecting good choices from this guy. He was directly accused of molesting a 7 year old. Hollywood finally pushed him out after allegations resurfaced. He’ll go wherever he’s allowed.
I just don’t like how wonky the For You tab is. The rest is pretty manageable. It would be foolish to expect none of the negativity from Twitter to follow. There’s less of it. That’s good. No platform will be immune from assholes, bots, and bad takes.
Still no. He didn’t marry Mia Farrow. He’s a POS, regardless of legal labels. I believe Dylan’s story about him. I didn’t realize how close they were to prosecuting him. They only pulled back because they thought Dylan would be traumatized by having to tell the story a 10th time. Poor girl.
The dude is a creep, but that’s not accurate. He married his girlfriend’s adopted daughter from a previous marriage. He wasn’t her step-father or adopted father. I’m not saying it wasn’t gross. He just wasn’t a father to her. He WAS accused of molesting his 7 year old adopted daughter though.
It’s a great indie success story. I’m happy for them in that regard. I just don’t enjoy them. I can enjoy a lot of gore. Even a bit of cruelty. But the tone of the violence comes off as more smug than fun for me. I wouldn’t call it evil. I’m just not able to be entertained by it.
I gave it the very smallest ***1/2 out of ***** possible. It looked good. Most of the action was good. The flamethrower fight dragged it just over the finish line for me.
Sometimes, I think a general point he’s trying to make is valid, but he’s absolutely awful at starting the journey to that point. He’ll clarify on a later post when he should be explaining in a thread.
I wasn’t trying to imply you were stupid. I don’t know how old you are or how far back in movie history you’ve gone. If this technique has become far more common in theatrical films lately, I just haven’t noticed. I wonder if it’s seen more in streaming.
His posts are even funnier since that dickhead Newsom started spoofing them. He can’t help himself.
They know they can convince voters that Dems started this. They just have to tell the same lie enough times. It’ll work.
Not exactly. He left his girlfriend for her adopted daughter from a previous relationship. Their relationship likely started before she was of age in New York, though she denies it. Really gross, but the bigger issue is his adopted daughter (Dylan) accusing him of molesting her when she was 7.
She wasn’t his adopted daughter. He’s still gross, but she was Andre Previn’s adopted daughter.
I don’t know if that’s happening more lately for those specific reasons, but that technique has been around for decades.
My arthritis acts up whenever I think of him.
What? Oh. The shooting star.
But he’s so proud of Shrinking and I love that.
And all it took to push Pol Pot into the jungle was a little quid pro quo.
Am I a flawless feminist ally? I don’t know. But I did recently shoot a man in the back in Red Dead Redemption 2 because I heard him talk about spying on a widow I got to know briefly much earlier in the game. I murdered a stranger for sexual harassment. Honor went down some. Worth it.
Droopy the Dog would have to be there. He already looks baked and he talks like Truman Capote. That would be a trip.
Only a few hundred times since he dumped Trump early on in his first term.
Well, it’s all subjective opinions, but Woods does have a history of critical praise and award noms to back him up. He was great in multiple roles. My favorite was The Hard Way with Michael J Fox. Kinski is probably the worst human, as he was directly accused of molesting a daughter.
