Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[Mark Antony]

I think that dude is dope since I, Tonya, glad he's getting bigger chances.

 

[calibeebee]

I actually liked the movie Glass. For the title name of the movie, I thought Sam Jackson had a very small part in the movie.

I thought the throwbacks to Unbreakable were really well done. Casting the same actor that played Bruce’s son in the 1st one was really cool. Haven’t seen that kid since Mystic River.

It was cool to have more backstory on the girl from split also. About her uncle and what not. I can’t imagine watching this movie without having seen the others in the trilogy, like some of my friends did. The fanboy in me from Unbreakable had me pretty geeked out.

All in all I thought it was a necessary sequel and pretty well done. I can’t really rate it without bias, but you won’t be wasting your time if you’ve seen the others in the trilogy, might as well give this a watch.

This isn’t directed at anyone in here, but I get tired of this compulsion we have with our popular culture to rank/compare everything. Like why do people have to decide who gave the better portrayal of Joker between Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix? One really doesn’t have anything to do with the other. Just enjoy each wholly on their own merits. /rant

Don't read too much into it.

People love affirmation.

We're all guilty of it.

Kobe > Lebron btw



When I see the opposite I tune out and dismiss the argument.

Right or wrong, I like my thoughts being echoed.

I hear ya, it's why when I spoke on it, I said they were both elite, but diff, but not one better than other, I treat it (in my head) like they are diff characters altogether.

I disagree with anyone who says _ was better than _.

 

[shotimesheff]

Caught Joker a 2nd time on Sunday. I didn't enjoy it as much but I'm guessing that's because the mystery and the progression of the character was all known. Still think Joaquin Phoenix gets a Best Actor nomination.

 

[lawdog1]

I’ve said on here before that I’m not big on the re-makes and reboots, but I think The Running Man could be re-done and be pretty awesome. Not sure who I’d cast on the Schwartzenegger role - not the Rock though. I’m going to think about this. May pitch it to a studio. LOL.

He's getting the W.

Watching Bad Boys 2, man say what you will about Michael Bay, and i’ve Said a lot, give that man room to do what he does best which is large scale wanton destruction and explosions and the man shines. I miss that ************ for that.


Gabby Union never really did much for me but she’s ******* glorious here, I wasn’t paying attention.

 

[shotimesheff]

Midsommar (Directors Cut) 7/8 - Movie is nuts. If you haven't seen it give it a chance. Ari Aster is on a roll.

 

[shotimesheff]

3 From Hell 3.7/8 - Rob Zombie had something with these characters and just couldn't find an interesting story to tell. Rest in peace Sid Haig.

 

[jpzx]

What’s good with the hype on this horror movie The Lighthouse?

 

[stuntman mike]

Midsommar (Directors Cut) 7/8 - Movie is nuts. If you haven't seen it give it a chance. Ari Aster is on a roll.

i actually enjoyed that movie but i didn’t see the director’s cut. i’d probably only recommend it to a few of the people that i know though.

CP is old, forgive his memory.

I can certainly slot you in.

I didn't add Chester's name either.......because I don't know which name he's currently on these days.

 

[lawdog1]

I should’ve been included but okay...

You can have my spot. I haven’t seen enough 2019 movies to Lea I fully participate.

Edit - my bad, I didn’t notice it was 2010-2019. That said, I still don’t know if I’ve seen enough movies to be in.

What is a movie draft?

What is a movie draft?

If you look at the very first post of the thread, it's layered under all the moves we've made, but 2000, 1990, 1980, 1970, if you click thru those spoilers, we used to have Movie Drafts by decade in this thread. Read those old posts in the OP, bad *** stuff.

 

[lawdog1]

What is a movie draft?

What it sounds like. The participants pick/draft movies from the designated time period to their “team” and then someone who wasn’t in the draft judges who has the strongest roster.

At least I think that’s how it worked in the past. I’m not sure how many films to a “team” though and if certain genres must be represented.

[lawdog1]

I just looked it up and I have not see a single one of the movies that won best picture from 2010 to the present. The last one I saw was Slumdog Millionaire from ‘09.

I am ultraviolet purification washed...

 

[big j 33]

I feel like the old, almost retired character who is coming back for one last big score.

I'm in.

 

[jpzx]

I would never pick Goldeneye or Of Mice and Men now. What in the world.

 

[calibeebee]

movie draft?!! I’m all in!
