What movie did you watch last night? (2 Viewers)

[Cormcolash]

Saltburn. What a bad stupid film. Flimsy plot, flimsy acting, stupid story.

Yep. Amusingly, it's fairly well-directed. Everything else is just boring as fuck really.

The fall of Minneapolis.
Documentary about the George Floyd case on YouTube.
Interesting. Worth watching.

Elf. Classic.

Family Switch. By the algorithm, of the algorithm, for the algorithm. Not good. Weezer are in it.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Both still great.

The Sound of Music. I mean you have to, really. Inflict it on the kids I mean.

I’ve never seen it.

Silent Night, new John Woo silent Xmas themed action flick. Derivative but I enjoyed it

I’ve never seen it.

It’s darker than you’d think.

May December. More like “May get Oscars” amirite?

Edit: also has an absolutely hilarious musical sting near the start.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Coming 2 America.
I like the first film from 1988, but this was piss poor.

 

[pavlos]

I’ve never seen it.

Not only have I seen it many times, but I also have managed to do a tour of the locations it was filmed in when on holiday in Austria many years ago. A lot more fun than it sounds.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I don’t like musicals so that’s a big barrier for me right there.

Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Both still great.

I was a teen when the Home Alone movies came out. They seemed to be widely detested by kids my age.
They were derided in the 90s music press for having an almost completely white cast (a lot of people pointing this out were normally not very self aware).

It always surprises me that Home Alone has had such longevity for any reason except nostalgia.

I’m not surprised by the criticism but I think that’s a general complaint about big box office cinema at that time. Though I will say that aside from my mother, you’re the first person I’ve come across who doesn’t like it. In my mam’s case it’s only because there’s a big tarantula in it.

That's why I never liked the home alone films....not enough black people in them.


Or maybe its just being the wrong age when the first film was released.

Supporting the Israelis, cancel him!!

The Killer. This was bad. Only a large gin and tonic and a cat asleep on my lap made me make it through the last hour.

He did a good job with elimination of dialogue. Great job really.
But the whole thing felt very disjointed. There was no flow to it.
Or maybe that's just me.

Yeah was a bit, but enough stabbing and head trauma to keep me entertained
