Das Boot is fucking amazing though. 



That's the problem. Das Boot is long AF, but it has something to say so it never outlives its welcome. John Wick is fun, but that's about all it's got. Give me 90-120 minutes of all out action and I'm yours, force that extra 30-40 minutes of crappy exposition on me and I'm bored.

It's the "EXPENDABLES" '80s martial arts variant we didn't know we needed.

Black Panther at 9? What are these guys smoking.

Wonder Woman at 43?

Is that a whistle I hear?

Black Panther at 9? What are these guys smoking.

Don't know why I read these lists. I know they're only designed to infuriate people to get clicks and social media engagement, but I still read them anyway.

[Polident]

If you had to include a black led marvel movie, I mean…

[Nintex]

What grinds my gears is that the MCU has better action flicks like Captain America: Civil War and Guardians of the Galaxy so picking Black Panther over those is just as insane as putting it on this list ahead of Kill Bill. It's not a one movie per franchise/director list either. How can you make this list and not put HEAT or Sicario on it.

I'm quite certain the next US civil war is inevitable and we will be about something insanely stupid.
Like Taylor Swift being arrested for tax fraud or a ban on NASCAR.


After millions have died it will suddenly stop and America will be like: "We went through all that as a nation, we are now more united than ever"   and cry a lot  

And the rest of the world will be like

Apparently a serious film, not a comedy.

I do like Sandler in serious roles.

The Holdovers was excellent, would likely be my favorite movie this year if it weren’t for Oppenheimer.

Watched about half of The Creator last night.

Man, that just took forever to go anywhere and I started to fall asleep.

There are also some seriously difficult logic leaps that you need to hurdle to enjoy it. Constantly found myself questioning the script.

Going to try to finish it today.

[Potato]

Currently watching the back half of The Creator and I'm astounded at how bad the script for this film is. Some of the absolute stupidest characters ever put to film and there is absolutely no logic to the whole thing. It's such a visually appealing film too. What a waste.

EDIT: Finally finished. This is without a doubt the dumbest movie I've ever seen in my entire life. I've watched some nonsensical trash in my time, but even the worst B-movies have more logic than this trash. No wonder they had to do extensive reshoots on Rogue One. FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

[Polident]

I don’t understand the reasoning of Rebel Moon having a PG-13 2 hour version when there’s a 3 hour R version coming later. It’s Netflix. They could’ve dropped both. The 2 hour version feels rushed and oddly bloodless. Like it was edited for TV. Suffers from it. You get these badass vignettes that happen and then jump to the next. No time to sit with them. Then it goes into hyper speed and wraps itself up. Lots of reactions to the action beats are cut short to hide impact and gore.

[Potato]

Sounds like I'm going to wait for the R version then.

[Polident]

Was still into it but it’s like an unfinished half of a movie. Giving it some benefit of the doubt because it’s been the case for most of Snyder’s stuff. That’s why it’s weird they’re holding the longer version back. Maybe the idea is two pieces of “content.”

Napoleon is a similar case where Ridley Scott has a four hour directors cut. In that instance, it had a theater release, and think the full version is Apple+.

There is a Part 2 coming in April

10/10 MOVIE OF THE YEAR

[Nintex]

RIP

He was the perfect Carmine Falcone

[chronovore]

REBEL MOON - more evidence that Zack Snyder has No. Fucking. Idea. what the role of editing is in filmmaking. Or "brevity." Or subtlety. 

You can see the spots in the initial voice over where he hurriedly scribbled in synonyms for proper nouns in his rejected Star Wars pitch. 

Russian uniforms for the baddies instead of Nazi ones was, arguably, the one close-to-clever production decision. 

Everything else is classic Snyder: meaninglessly slow-motion and/or speed-rampedshots, depth-of-field abused like a fat man at a buffet brunch, and so many layers of particle effects that it's amazing AfterEffects didn't crash. 

Hot. Fucking. Garbage.

[Polident]

Gonna do that thing where an actor dies and some jackass mentions just watching them in a movie.

I re-watched Michael Clayton during Christmas, in the spirit of the Holiday, and saw that Tom Wilkinson passed away. Last couple years I hadn’t seen him in many movies but in the 2000s he was popping up all over the place. He wasn’t that old.

[Nintex]

I watched Batman Begins a couple of weeks ago and The Batman last week.

John Turturro played an excellent Carmine Falcone in The Batman but he was more creepy than he was intimidating and tried to hide his secrets so he could operate from the shadows. The scene with Wilkinson as Falcone and Bale as Bruce Wayne is just on a different level.

[Snoopy]

The Killer. I’m not an international assassin, but one thing I learned from playing Hitman 2 is when you’re going to snipe someone it generally works out a lot better if you don’t try to shoot the target while a whore is walking around in front of them. It’s also probably a better idea to spend more time on the practice range and less time inventing cringey as fuck too profound 4 u monologues. 

Like the fridge in the shadows. I live between the dark and the light.
John Wayne Gacy was careful, he never ate meat past it’s sell by date. 
Arabs have no concept of God, but they climb trees anyway.
An egg boiled at 38 degrees can fly faster than a jet. Ordinary people do not know this.

Also if you’re going to go to the bother of spending thousands on an international revenge trip you might as well finish the fucking job
