Topic: Movie thread.

@SlashFuture yep. It's a big cast, check out Asteroid City's cast for even more of a stacked cast lol.

@SlashFuture lol, I thought it was gonna be a space opera before reading the plot.

Violent Night appeared on Peacock, so mom and I watched, therefore it was Christmas again for one night. At first my mom thought it was going to be dumb because of the name, as we watched, it ended up being a rather entertaining action flick, action-packed and somehow still captured the magic of Christmas at times. My favorite part was the scene where the girl had Home Alone-like traps set up. Reminded me of Die Hard.

May be Christmas again over the weekend, we both realized we didn't watch It's A Wonderful Life, so classic movie over the weekend! Haven't watched Christmas movies in some time, might as well watch this since we didn't get a chance to.

@Sunsy ever seen Scrooged with Bill Murray? It's not bad.

@Kermit1 I've heard of it, surprisingly I never seen it.

@Sunsy I got it on DVD for Christmas and I haven't had the chance to pop it in yet but from all the clips I've seen it's a fun spin on a Christmas Carol.

I'd recommend putting it on a list or wait until Netflix has it.

@Kermit1 Awesome will make note of it then. Even if it's not Christmastime and it happens to appear on one of the streaming services I use. I did first see Illumination's Grinch in the spring when it wasn't Christmas, so I wouldn't rule it out. I heard it's a take on A Christmas Carol.

@Sunsy Here's the trailer (If it's available in your country, Paramount's YT channel can be a bit weird)

@Kermit1 This genuinely looks like something I'd watch too.

Always find it jarring when they put the modern logo into classic movies. That Viacom/CBS subtitle. Like, Disney put their updated castle logo after Pinocchio 1940, or before Beauty and the Beast.

Also, lol, the Holiday Season annotation showed It's A Wonderful Life, I just mentioned it too.

@Sunsy It's definitely a cult classic type of movie, I actually found out about it when scrolling through IMDB.

I also highly recommend It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (if you haven't seen it already), you'll probably need to rent it off YouTube to watch it, but it's worth it. I honestly don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it, every minute of it is amazing. I went into it somewhat blind and came out loving it. Here's a clip to get you interested (if it will play in your country, MovieClips can be picky sometimes).

@SlashFuture same lol

@Kermit1 This movie definitely seems familiar, I remember my parents were watching it when I was a kid on cable. My memory is fuzzy on it, but I remember it being about a race. The 2001 movie Rat Race comes to mind too, since the premise was similar.

I'd been thinking about watching The Departed again recently, don't know why, but I find it on Netflix tonight and got to it. Bit bummed out now though cos I thought I remembered roughly how it ended, but it turns out I didn't and I don't like it as much as I thought I did as a result.

Oh wow. So Puss in Boots The Last Wish WAS incredible.

Might be my favorite DreamWorks movie ever and favorite movie of 2022.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I watched Puss In Boots 2. I thought it was just okay.

Feel free to yell at me now lol.

@Kermit1 Grrr I'm so mad I'm so disappointed in you

Avatar: The Way of Water just crossed $2B at the box office and I honestly had little doubt it'll do it. Definitely crawling across the line though, compared to the steamroller that was Endgame. I loved Avatar tho, thought it was well worth the wait and was a breathtaking spectacle from start to finish, 3h12m and all.

Considering how damn long we've been waiting I'm very glad this movie is doing well.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika but it looks pretty and it's bottled where I live... So I'm contractually obligated to promote it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I even like the nonbrand colas

@Kermit1 @EaglyTheKawaiiShika Root Beer is superior.
