Topic: Movie thread.

@Professor_Plumber that photo proves the lead singer of OK GO is working on the movie.

@TheJGG Oh it's an absoluetly stunning film well worth a big screen experience, the bestest animated movie everest is a stretch for me though. Folk kept talking about how mind blowing it is but it's just more multiverse stuff and as it's over two hours with no ending there's a lot of flab that could easily be cut especically as they have already presented how he's gonna win in the next one. Spider Punk great, give me two hours of him calling the other Spider Man fascists and I'm sold!

How graphic is graphic, is it Ichi The Killer graphic or just the average Marvel movie fan would get upset over it?

Yo, Ichi The Killer is a fantastic movie. I want to watch it again. I never read the manga, though.

The video got copyrighted but that looked really good. But it could also be really bad.

@blindsquarel It's gonna be rated R. Kraven is gonna rip people apart.

@Owl1
They had to get the “ it’s garbage unless it’s R rated” crowd.

@jump For an adult show Velma sure acted childish Lmao!

Please don’t remind me of the Rick and morty thing, I haven’t even seen the show and I remember hearing of it. Is it as bad as I heard or? Is it just a gag, or does the mother actually get with her clone?

Watched The Little Mermaid 2: Return To The Sea tonight, as someone who really haven't watched these Disney direct-to-video sequels, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. Enjoyed the adventure Melody went on, and seeing Ariel basically becoming her father. I know these direct-to-video sequels get a lot of flak from others, but I genuinely enjoyed it.

Hopefully I'll get around to seeing the Little Mermaid remake when it comes to Disney+, for now, I feel like I need to be choosy with my theater movies. My only theater plans include seeing Ruby Gillman, and Trolls Band Together. Hopefully multiple showings of Trolls Band Together, especially after what happened with Trolls World Tour in 2020, I want to see it in theaters as many times as I can.

@blindsquarel Yup!

@Owl1
Regardless it won’t be good. Unless it’s Spider-Man, Sony doesn’t know what they are doing on the movie side of things.

@blindsquarel the same folks who saw Morbin will watch this for the memes and complain it isn't funny.

@Snatcher

@Owl1
That’s definitely gonna happen. Although maybe Sony will play into the joke.

@blindsquarel "you and a loved one can go free of charge, in fact, we will give you $10 just to see it!"

@Owl1
Heck, we will even give you a second time for free with the purchase of some popcorn!

@blindsquarel "and if you buy the nachos we will sign you the rights to the movie!"

The show goes to inter family love making a lot as clones make love to each other, the teenage siblings have a baby together who is a recurring character called "Giant Incest Baby", there is an entire episode about one of them sleeping with their Mum etc. However my point is look at how desperate Rick And Morty is to shock yet their fans keep talking about how smart they are for watching it and if someone started talking about how outraged they are at Rick And Morty you'd look at them like an idiot. Velma draws outrage and it doesn't even need to pull the lets sleep with Mum or lets have brother and sister have a kid together card.

Anyway, stuff I’ve seen!

Nina Forever, this was brilliant! A British horror romance about a guy who’s girlfriend has passed away and is trying to move on yet every time he has naked fun with his new girlfriend his dead girlfriend comes back as a rotting talking corpse and insults at them. It’s incredibly well done to avoid it being camp schlock silliness and be a proper complex and insightful romantic drama beyond the literal metaphor.

Bones And All, from Luca Guadagnino the guy that made Call Me By Your Name and the surprisingly good Suspiria remake. Another horror romance but this time it’s cannibals falling in love in a film that won’t please most horror fans as well as not pleasing most romance fans, it kinda reminds me of an American remake of Thirst. It’s beautifully shot and full of raw emotions (get it RAW because they eat people, that’s funny), it’s a good film very elegant but maybe it’s too simple. The ending is great though. The soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails is amazing, there is one scene in particular where the music slightly changes in mid-conversation and it was so bloody riveting!

Before Sunrise, I’ve got no idea why I’ve never seen this before despite it being so widely celebrated, maybe I thought of it as an American attempt to make a sparkly European romance movie by the guy that directed School Of Rock (without realising he also made Slacker and Dazed & Confused) would suck. It’s very likeable but wouldn’t put it at the top of my favourite romance movie list though. It’s basically two people talking for the entire length of the movie but it catches the little moments of new romance like the sly looks, when you’re getting along and wantto kiss the other one but not sure if they would reciprocate etc and the dialogue reminds me of a lot of conversations I’ve had in the past which makes me wonder if the film is super real or the people I talk to are quoting the film to pass themselves off as interesting? Loved the ending in how it resisted the obvious choice and then showed all the spots they went to now empty

Last Days, Gus Van Sant wanted to make a film about Kurt Cobain but couldn’t so instead a Kurt Cobain type guy does Kurt Cobain type things like play Kurt Cobain type songs until his Kurt Cobain type death, it also features a Kurt Cobain type shotgun too. It’s very indie so lots of non-narrative ramblings as they are more interested in mood which makes a nice change from the likes of Bohemian Rhapsody or Elvis more vapid loud takes but I wasn’t hugely fussed by it. I think it was because I want to see an actual Kurt Cobain biopic as I get the he was isolated and troubled feeling from his music so I’d rather have the details filled in. Apparently Matt Reeves was inspired to make the new Batman films by this which shows how little he knows about Batman, Kurt shot himself whilst Batman doesn’t use guns!

Urusei Yatsura: Remember my Love (Blu-Ray)

After the gang gets caught up in bizarre shenanigans while visiting a newly opened amusement park, Ataru & Lum's relationship is tested when she vanishes shortly after he's transformed into a hippo. Has she really given up on him or is there something else at play?

Feels like they were trying to replicate the magic of Beautiful Dreamer, just to lesser results.

It's still a fine watch in and of itself though, and I'd say I still liked it more than Only You.

National Lampoon's Vacation (Blu-Ray)

Probably overrating this due to nostalgia, but it is such a comfort food summertime movie for me.

Rewatch it every summer if I get the chance, and just so much of it reminds me of the summer road trips my family would take when I was a kid (although they never went off the rails to this degree, lol), and it just feels oh so very much classic Americana (& I know I've been to at least two of the roadside attractions pictured in the postcard montage at the beginning of the film).

That said it can still deliver some laughs as well. I perhaps find the conclusion of the Aunt Edna subplot more & more distasteful everytime I watch it, but otherwise it's largely good stuff.

@Professor_Plumber I need to share these jokes before they get lost in time
