The Big Hit was a complete change up to me mid-movie. I LOVED the first part when they were a team doin jobs. But once they got into the weird separated vibe and the actual kidnapping they kinda lost me. I still enjoyed it, got a few laughs, but it was a bit over the top compared to the first 20-30 minutes.

I agree. It got cartoonish at the midway point. SLIGHTLY similar to the heel turn that Dusk til Dawn took from robbery getaway heist to something COMPLETELY different. I think that might be why big hit wasn’t Remembered by many

I always got the impressions his only exposure to black people until he got to Hollywood were in the movies he watched growing up.
I don't think he's aware of how offensive it is but this it still makes me cringe hard. I don't feel like Sam or Jamie would give him a pass and show him so much love if he was doing anything maliciously though. I am surprised nobody has talked to him about it, I remember he did an interview on Sway and he said the n word a couple times referring to what slave owners would say but he wasn't hesitating at all.

Quentin is one of my all time favorite directors, maybe even my favorite if I really think about it, but I always seems like he only knew black and asian people from pop culture things while growing up.

Dope Spanish film on Netflix if you guys want to check it out and a real quick watch at only a lil over 90 minutes. Cool message overall, even if it was kind of heavy handed at times.

its similar to the Bruce Lee thing in OUATIH. He basically defended the way Bruce was portrayed in the movie by saying he read a book once and Bruce really acted like that

30 years wow. Saw it in the theater when I was a little guy obsessed with the Turtles.
Just recently discovered a young Sam Rockwell was in it

Damn QT really put that slang and extra jive in to his speech to talk to these black ppl
Its like how some ppl adopt the accent of other ppl when they're around them but so much worse and stereotypical.

It took me a few episodes to get used to the homemade porno video quality but I like it a lot.
Just a bunch of funny people doing improv basically. Larry has my type of humor

Underwater 3.5/8 - Very throw away alien movie. Had some promise with a decent cast but nah.
The Banker 5.75/8 - Enjoyed this one a lot. Sam Jackson plays his role perfectly and its pretty insightful as well.
Vivarium 5/8 - Weird as hell. Had no idea where this one was going until late which I liked. More creepy than scary.

If you want some casual viewings while you clean the house again for the fifth time today watch Documentary Now! written and created by all the big ex SNL stars of Hader, Maya, Armisten they make parody versions of some of the greatest documentaries of recent years. It looks serious and its all well done but it all those tiny little details that make it funny. like when they did a "doc" on one of the greatest restuarants in the world being in the colombian rainforest they massage the chicken for hours then shoot it against the wall with a cannon. they parody Jiro sushi of dreams. a fleetwood mac esq behind the music. all on netflix

Legion(2010) 5.5/8
obviously a low budget film that was never expected to be “good.” But it had some cool moments. Tyrese was doing Tyrese things. Some pretty cool visuals And a couple good fight scenes. Evil old lady scene had me rolling I can already see this being a guilty pleasure film.
Ghost Rider(2007) 4/8
The bad outweighs the good in this film. Might be one of the cheapest looking and poorly acted $110 million film ever made
it looks like it was made in 1992. Cage was not the right person for the role. Certified clunker, but AGAIN, I could see myself making this a guilty pleasure watch

I haven't dug in like that yet, but in a few eps/seasons I might be able to speak to some things like that.
