Enjoy your Halloween III.

So the guy gets to show his bare crack but the woman has to cover up with a sheet? Wow @ this misogyny

[chronovore]

Unlike what TFA heralded though, I really hope this is the last one for a while.

Final shot is Pinhead pulling Michael's mask down to Hell.

If that's the case, strap yourself in for a decade of development hell.

True fans will wait as long as it takes for RaiserWeen

Why the heck would you not make it Halloraiser?

[Momo]

I just rewatched Children of Men and I think I'm traumatized. Cried during the climax. What a gut wrenching movie.

The car scene is so good.

[Joe Molotov]

It was a dumb idea. Just go to BOM or Rotten Tomatoes, there's your winners, yay.

[TVC15]

Lets touch ourselves and watch Taxi Driver tonight. I haven’t seen it in like 15 years.

[TVC15]

It's a trash movie for trash people who miss the point much like Scarface, except Scarface can be enjoyed in a lol80s way that Taxi Driver can't

Even if this is what you think, I don’t think it’s fair to call the movie trash. It’s amazingly shot and edited and has one of Bernard Herrmann’s best scores. It’s got some fantastic performances, especially from Keitel and De Niro. De Niro’s performance is so great that he makes you empathize with a piece of trash character. Or feel sympathy for.

This and The King of Comedy are probably my favorite De Niro roles.

[TVC15]

Here's the thing


Outside of Casino, I don't really care for Scorsese and his cokehead editor, unlikable characters, and course language

Not even The Aviator?

[TVC15]

I've never seen it because generally I don't like his movies

Understandable. It’s like 3 hours long, too.

Perhaps we should avoid the topic of Scorsese.

[Tasty]

Stro and I keep agreeing lol. Casino is my favorite Sorcsese movie too.

Haven't seen Taxi Driver though. 😬

[TVC15]

Casino is an odd choice for the one Scorsese movie you would like

You know what's odder?

Casino is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I fucking hate Goodfellas

Between the Prometheus apologetics and this, I think you’re fucking with us.

[BlueTsunami]

Watching Night Moves the OG one with Gene Hackman. Goddamn this is good.

[toku]

[TVC15]

I love Sport describing all the things Travis could do to Jodie Foster. Amir0x watched this scene many times.

[seagrams hotsauce]

The King of Comedy is incredible

[Quaker]

The King of Comedy is incredible

King of Comedy is a little too cringey for me, personally, but After Hours is also legitimately great and The Color of Money has a surprising amount of craft behind it. I love going back to those every couple of years.

[Joe Molotov]

I've got Cape Fear down for a rewatch during my Halloween Marathon.

[Momo]

I'll probably watch Lady Snowblood over Halloween if the flight times line up

[chronovore]

Jupiter Ascending by the Wachowski siblings is finally on Japanese Netflix.

What the fuck was everyone thinking when they made this? How can two people that suffered from gender dysphoria make a movie about genetic inheritance being a valid conceit, a defensible claim to power? Why did Magic Mike think manscara and elf ears would work? Why did Sean Bean agree to this?   

[Joe Molotov]

Also has the best theme for a movie ever.

Philip Glass

[Tasty]

Tony Todd Eternal

[Joe Molotov]

Just like the ending of Lost was a little bit frustrating but we all embraced that it was a really good thing.

[Madrun Badrun]

Rewatched Scream 1 and 2.  So 90's.  Forgot that they are actually good movies. 

[TVC15]

I could never get into After Hours even though it sounds like my kinda thing on paper. I found it to be largely mediocre.

I like After Hours, but for a comedy, it kind of feels... mechanical? Like the funny scenarios in the movie aren’t executed in a particularly funny way, but they probably sound humorous on the page. It feels like an execution problem.

[Assimilate]

Was bored and wanted some popcorn fun:

15min into Avengers infinity war turned it off

tried Solo and turned it off within 10min.


How you menchildren continue to watch this garbage i don't know. Avengers is especially lacking in mental fortitude. Do none of you notice that these actors are bored to death of playing superheros? At this point they are pretty much collecting a massive check while shootin the shit with each other.


So then i decided to watch Prayer before Dawn seeing how it got great reviews from various places. Nope, complete crap. Just a bunch of thailandese dudes screaming and some white irish guy joining them.

It's hard to see a good movie these days.

maybe for movies you know you'll hate—those of the marvel/dc/disney variety—how about not watching those you stupid fuck.

This site has the worst design I’ve seen in a long time. Not surprising that a Refn website would prize hollow visual flourish over coherency. I’ve looked through all three chapters of volume 1 and I don’t see that movie. Can you link it?

N/m, I found it. It’s in volume 2 chapter 1.

These movies are definitely contributing to the low testosterone males of today.

Look at how upset this man child gets when i dislike his superhero flicks.

Well the new Predator sounds pretty awful.

[Momo]

It's Shane black, I'm willing to give it a try before I completely burn it

[studyguy]

Saw that Solo movie finally.
It's okay I guess, idk. The dude looks nothing like Ford.

[studyguy]

I watched like 20 mins of it. I can tell already that I'll like it more than TLJ.

But I get what Jay was talking about, the movie is just so fucking dark.

I thought my stream was fucked up, it was dark right? Most of the fucking film is in fucking shadow or silhouette. Somehow even in the last scenes that take place in a desert they manage to find the darkest set pieces to make everything look shaded.

Letting comic book movies dictate your worldview

That's very of you.

Gotta correct you tho Swole Bro, I don't like those movies so I choose not to watch them.

You don't like them either, you've established that time and time again.
Yet you willingly watched two of them b/c girls just wanna have (popcorn) fun.
You then proceed to bitch about it like the bitch that you are.

Well, keep wasting your time taco, you already do so by posting on a forum where nobody likes you.

 

[Momo]

It's Shane black, I'm willing to give it a try before I completely burn it

It's a Predator sequel, I'm willing to completely burn it before I give it a try

That's also fair.

[TVC15]

Most of the best of these erotic thrillers I’m lovin’ are pretty blatant Hitchcock rips. I know the Hitch films are better, and I enjoy them more when I watch them, they lack the primal hook of guaranteed nudity and sex scenes. Imagine if those films were made today. We’d have titties and potential bush from Grace Kelly, Kim Novack, Eva Marie Saint, Tallulah Bankhead, Janet Leigh, and more. The women were more attractive back then. That’s why so many dudes are going gay and trans these days.

I bet Jimmy Stewart or Farley Granger or James Mason would be willing to hang dong and balls too. Especially Jimmy Stewart.

[ToxicAdam]

When Gus Van Sant remade Psycho, he should've remade it with the premise that Hitchcock was a closet pervert who was unable to fully express himself back in the day. Then reshoot the film from that perspective.

THESE SABOTEURS OF SNYDERS VISION

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/henry-cavill-as-superman-warner-bros-dc-universe-shake-up-1142306

Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros., sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

But contract talks between Cavill's WME reps and Warners broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances.

That's because the studio has shifted its focus to a Supergirl movie, which will be an origin story featuring a teen superheroine. This effectively removes an actor of Cavill's age from the storyline's equation given that Superman, aka Kal-El, would be an infant, according to DC lore.

Furthermore, Warners isn't likely to make a solo Superman film for at least several years, according to another source. "Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors," says a studio source. As such, Cavill will join Ben Affleck, who isn't expected to reprise his role for director Matt Reeves' forthcoming Batman stand-alone film, as a hero on the way out.

Doesn't look like there are any showings in my area. .

Superman is like James Bond is some of the dumbest post getting dumped lies to tell yourself

[Great Rumbler]

"We screwed everything up and no one wants to work with us, but don't worry we'll snooker some b-list actor to play Superman in a few years when all this blows over."

Its crazy how small a release this is getting. Even my local arthouse place wont be carrying it.

[Great Rumbler]

The only good thing they've done post-Nolan [so, their last five movies] has been Wonder Woman, which was pretty good but wouldn't make even make it into the top-tier of Marvel movies.

Weird; it's playing at like 10 theaters within 10 miles of me.. every suburban theater and the city ones, not even arthouse just AMCs and shit.

You're up in the Pacific north-west, right? I believe the movie itself is based in the Oregon.

New Coen Bros/Netflix thing:

[team filler]

[TVC15]

The movie deals with white guilt. I always saw the main character as, well maybe not the villain of the story, but not as the protagonist either.

Upper class white woman that wants to stick her nose in to a community that doesn't want her in the hopes of "sharing the myth with the world".

Its like Get Out in the way that the bad white people aren't beer swiggin' rednecks. They're Liberal elites that take on causes to help with their white guilt, not to actually help people in need.

Also has the best theme for a movie ever.

It also touches on other themes, like gentrification and what we today might call cultural appropriation. I’m not sure there was a word for it back then. The main character is effectively using the embattled black community’s misery and urban legends to advance her own, very white, academic career that will offer nothing to society. There’s also something in there about the failure of urban projects—I assume the Pruitt Egoe sequence is Koyaanisqatsi is why Philip Glass was given the soundtrack gig

I know you guys dislike Clive, so just so you know, none of the racial or urban themes come from him and they”re the best part of the story.

Drugstore Cowboy is amazing.
