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

Played hooky today and went with my brother to catch Asteroid City.

Enjoyed it, did not love it. Too much going on, too many characters. All the extra stuff, IMO, diluted a bit from what I thought were the best parts of the film. All the performances were very solid and delivered in perfect Wesworld style, but some of the characters had very little screen time and felt like throw-ins.

Fantastic looking throughout and definitely had some great scenes. 6.25/8

Spoiler: Of a degenerate nature

Movie includes about 2 seconds of ScarJo full frontal via a mirror reflection. Caught me off guard, but I was not mad at it

Interesting movie. Enjoyed it, but there was a lot going on like you said. Way too many characters

Anybody watch Three Thousand Years of Longing?

yeah. quite boring for me to be honest. pacing is too slow and more talking to be honest.

I actually liked it a lot, but I'm a huge fan of anthologies so that definitely helped

Watched No Hard Feelings. Surprisingly, better than expected. Not a super raunchy flick, but had enough laughs. Jlaw does well in this role

Didnt doubt it would be an ok maybe even fun watch. I just dont know why! Id HOPE she did well in the role, it's like when pros go hoop at 24 hr fitness. I guess you just gotta get that run(check) in sometimes.

I've been blowing through my sopranos rewatch... Man. That show is so ****ing good

Also watching tropic thunder right now. Such a classic comedy.

I also hit My 10-year anniversary at my job today officially so I've had one or four bourbons and a cigar and celebration so I apologize if there is any rambling speak to text post from me in the next hour or so

I rewatched it in its entirety last Summer before I watched the Saints of Newark and man, greatness…I love that film mostly because of my rewatch and fresh perspective on Junior. Saints of Newark is so fire to me.

Claustrophobic "zombie" film centering on a radio host trapped in his workplace while he listens to the world go into chaos. Hard to describe. Good tense thriller that's 99% dialogue. Very small budget film that bats way above its league, imho.

This sounds pretty cool

I mean I firmly agree with at least a couple right of the bat, and it Wrigley take much convincing for like 3 or 4 more. I can see the case for 9 of the 10, actually.

You’ve proven exactly why I think the word “overrated” is silly in these matters.

You like what you like, other people like what they like. Nobody’s wrong. It’s all just opinion.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Blair Witch is one of the most "you had to be there" movies. By saying that im not saying its good, and should probably be higher on the list. Has no replay value, and didnt hold up immediately after viewing. But being there around the hype was a moment

Art is subjective. There are technical aspects that can definitely be debated but people are entertained by different things. obviously greatness will stand out but yeah.

I mean to that end, 'Best movie' is silly. 'Horrible movie' is silly. Every opinion on everything is unquantifiable silliness with no point in being vocalized/typed.

"Well, that's like, your opinion, man" shuts down probably 90% of all dialogue.
