The Farewell was fantastic. Even though I’m not Chinese, there were messages I could really relate to. Americans like to poke holes in foreign traditions, but this movie really highlights why things aren’t so simple for immigrants/the children of immigrants in America. Plus it’s beautifully shot and will make you cry. 5 out of 5 stars.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away. This year to save me from...

A schlocky, saccharine romantic movie with some laughs in it. I seem to always go for these types of movies once a year cause I am sort of a romantic dweeb. You want great plot? You came to the wrong movie mofo.

Funny how the main plot twist is essentially the same thing as Angel Beats. Is Angel Beats much better than Last Christmas? Well, yeah. Of course. But does it have a bunch of George Michael songs? Checkmate.

I don't really see the point in rating this movie. If anything though, I will say the casting was good. Eh, the whole immigrant angle is kinda neato too, as I can relate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: There is this annoying clown in the movie for like 3 scenes. When I first saw him I said sort of audibly "I'm the Joker. baby." and nobody reacted. Of course, this movie wouldn't have any incels in the audience.

:lol The idea of incels filling a theater for a romantic comedy just to sit there and angrily stew at the people on-screen getting some is hilarious, thanks for that image Echo.

Terminator: Dark Fate. Didn't intend to see this. Roommate wanted to go see a movie. Some plot aspects were meh and it's funny how this movie seems to scrap everything after T2. Action was good though. I was wondering how the main Termigirl would be and she does well with the tag team of Sarah Conner. Termigirl has a real sense of strength about her and it looks right when she's physically annihilating enemies and the evil terminator. Arnold is back (oh yeah I groaned at the "I'll be back" comment made by Sarah early in the movie) and there is something adorkable about him this time. Lots of screen time too. From the trailers I was suspicious if this would be only some cameo.

Non essential viewing, not half bad of an action movie. No more Arnold though, please.

With Disney+ rewatched the original 1979 Muppets Movie. That was like one of my favorites as a kid growing up. Still a good movie. Lots of jokes still hold up and all those cameos. I think I'm gonna re-watch all the Muppet movies. The Rainbow Connection is still a great song.

Also watched:

Shaft 2019 - Did not expect much because even though the trailers looked good, the reviews killed this on release. Well it turns out that it's actually pretty fucking funny like the trailers made it seem. It's pretty similar to 2019's Captain Marvel in that it's a Sam Jackson action buddy comedy and Sam Jackson was a lot funnier here. Richard Roundtree was great too. It's a by the books movie, but the jokes are funny and it's a fun watch.

Haunt - Ugh, this movie sucked. The directing tension and pace and gore kills were cool, but the script sucks so much and is so dumb and there's like so many bad guys you can't even keep track of them and it doesn't know what it's doing in the back half. Bad movie.

Velvet Buzzsaw - It's not a bad movie, and it's got its funny parody of the art world and tortured artists, but as a horror ghost film, it's written like a PG ghost flick by someone with only a cursory interest/knowledge of horror and so it's really cheesy and silly and overall feels empty and pointless waste of everyone involved. I think if they ditched the ghost story and it was more grounded it would've been much better. Why can this game do the amazing and horrific Nightcrawler but then he misses and misses with Roman J. Israel and Velvet Buzzsaw??  Make something more like Nightcrawler quality plz. This is like if David Lynch did Seven and then started making modern Tim Burton movies.

Ok guys, dumb question.
But there was a movie released a few months ago where a woman marries into a wealthy family and they all then try to kill her all night. I got some "Clue" vibes from the trailer. Wanna watch it, but I totally forgot the name. Any help?

Feels like Paul Feig is the type to melt into sentimental corny sop as he ages. Ghostbusters should have burned him but that new Christmas flick he made looks gag inducing. All downhill from Freak and Geeks.

Which is strange cause I'm a pussy ass mofucka..I'm just not into his modern sense of sentimentality.

The new Charlie’s Angels movie is the worst studio movie I’ve seen since Mr and Mrs Smith.

It features a scene where an adult woman explains the scientific method to another adult woman.

To be fair to those that did well, not everything was bad. Saying this is the worst major studio picture since Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a pretty harrowing claim, so I want to be sure that I’m not casting shade on those that did well.

+ Kristen Stewart did her best. She has a few good bits, but her character is such a modern stock template that it can be tough to see.
+ Patrick Stewart was okay. He was basically playing Patrick Stewart so no effort was required here, but hey, he’s a charming motherfucking guy.
+ It’s been less than an hour and I can’t remember the rest of the cast or any plot details. An AI built on an Apple II could have generated this script.
+ The action scenes are terrible, there are long stretches for naps in between. There are only 2 real action scenes in the movie
+ Several times in the movie, the girls legitimately refer to one male character as being attractive, but he has a noticeably fat neck and bottom of the face. Like, he doesn’t look bad, but the dude has a fucking pear-shaped head. Nobody would ever call him out vocally as hot. He looked like a wad of recessive genes.  I’m guessing the actor was a relative of the director or producer. Because he was also a terrible actor and I’ve never seen him before.

She gives a treasure: she looks directly into the camera and makes silly, sexy faces for a few seconds. Selxy. Easily the best part of the movie, not being pervy. It’s a fun little moment. Felt improvised.

If anything is giffable in the movie, it’s that.

That tweet is pretty out of context, but that's cool

--------------

Still, the director is aware that, in an age of streaming, “getting people off their couches to pay a babysitter, buy dinner, buy popcorn” is a tough ask.

“Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money,” she says, plainly.

“If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

Unfortunately this is one of those movies both sides are going to deliberately misconstrue the fuck out of to prove some inane point, only for the movie to suck so much it really doesn't matter. Like Ghosbusters.

It's shouldn't be surprising Nintex is rallying on one particular side of this thing, either.

Side note, Elizabeth Banks is awesome despite this (apparent) misfire.

But I'm not shocked this movie flopped. You can only reboot so many lukewarm IP's and expect people to care.
Seems like something that would've done well on Netflix but I don't see the cinematic appeal.  :idont
