What movie did you watch last night? (24 Viewers)

[Cornu Ammonis]

More like Stupeh-man, wha?

 

[pete]

i'm looking forward to seeing it

Superman. Meh as fuck.

saw it yesterday. I thought it was very enjoyable. Probably not worth it unless you see it in the cinema though

Finally watched Heavy Metal. I'd heard it wasn't great so wasn't expecting much. It's awful. Terrible writing, dodgy animation. The infamous gratuitous nudity and sexism is so dated that it hilarious now. Impossible not to think of the "cheesing" episode from South Park. It was interesting to see recognisable artwork from Moebius, Corben's and Wrightson. And the music was kind of cool, but also kind of funny. But the whole thing is a dated shit show. Stoners probably still love it though.

The Phonecian Scheme

hmmm

Spoiler: spoilers galore

Ok so granted i'll probably watch it again because this was a 1am pretty tired watch

thoughts - on one hand the overiding 'no pockets in a shroud theme' is handled in a fun way - i think the limbo-cuts will make more sense on lap 2-3 (there's a however here...)****

mostly wes is flailing around the middle least as a backdrop here, when he did that with europe in the grand budapest i loved it but here it all felt a little thinner.

What really stood out to me last night was this wes anderson rapid fire barked dialog - you've got fuckers like tom hanks and brian cranston reading like i'd read a nativity play aged 6 and if you watcha lot of movies that's a refreshing riff but if you think about it in terms of what all those people are capable of and have done (bar the nepo baby) I feel like he's gone too deep on his own riff with that attack. This week i've watched Unforgiven (Clint eastwood takes on a town with an eybrow and delivers the coldest one liner ever bouncing off Gene Hackman) and Django Unchained (Jamie Foxx and Waltz, DeCaprio, Jackson acting each other off the screen with good script and dialog that feels like dialog) and in that comparison i found andersons dialog a waste of good staff....

And of course he's all about the visuals - it's sorta a bit asteroid city looking - I sorta feel Wes is trying to make movies faster now or something.

Anywhoo - i'm on the fence, i'll probably watch it twice more.

**however section: del toro is getting into heaven possibly because his daughter is religious - conversley she's not really countering that at the same scale by getting into his hyper capitalist belief system...

I thought it was great. Just a good laugh of a film with Benicio being a legend.

I'll come back to you in a few weeks when i rewatch it for sure.

With asteroid city I kept going back to it just because of the general mood of the thing

Watched Heat last night. Never watched it before, it's good, but quite flawed.

It has a great Cheap Trick song in the soundtrack

It does. Couple of Dio's Sabbath too. And Blue Oyster Cult. South Park has ruined it for me.

Mountainhad. Good, not fantastic, but there are parts of this that are 100% utterly believable.

I know Venis is obviously meant to be Elon Musk, and I think Jeff is meant to be Sam Altman, and Randall is Peter Thiel, but I dunno who the poorest* one is meant to be.

Predator: Killer of Killers. Great stuff. I don't think i've ever seen so many decapitations in an animated movie before.

Rewatched Bubba ho tep last night. Still rules

I watched most of the suicide squad on rte 2. Not sure what it was about, but it looked nice. Just random stuff happening. Buildings exploding in slow motion. A shark wearing jeans. Some guy who throws smarties at people. A giant star fish walking around. Loads of rats & annoying attempts at humour. So basically the usual modern super hero movie nonsense.

Was planning to head in to the Lighthouse to see Pavements.... but didn't.

Klute. Dark weird thriller with The Suth and Jane Fonda. Pretty great film, Fonda got an Oscar for this and deserved it, and she's also a total goddess in this film.

I watched a bit of Johnny English on the RTE player....only coz Natalie Imbruglia was in it.
Piss poor. A waste of electricity....time....money....life... ect,

Watched Heretic with Hugh Grant last night. Very dialogue heavy, and like a play that's been adapted for screen, but I loved it. Hugh is having great fun, and it raises lots of interesting ideas around faith, religion and atheism. Ending's a bit shit, but that's the norm for most horrors in my experience.
