I actually really liked Death Proof because of how different it felt compared to everything else in his filmography. Very dialogue driven. Raw, simple violence. Great music! I don't understand the hate for that movie.

Steve Contra · « **Reply #23761 on:** January 06, 2016, 01:21:01 PM »

Lots of people hate Death Proof because they had to see it with Planet Terror

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #23762 on:** January 06, 2016, 02:28:34 PM »

Death Proof is maybe my second favorite Tarantino movie.

mormapope · « **Reply #23763 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:42:10 PM »

Reservoir Dogs is my favorite Tarantino movie.

Second would be True Romance. He didn't direct it, but the screenplay he wrote is Tarantino as fuck.

You're in for a treat with Jackie Brown. Wouldn't mind seeing QT adapt more Elmore Leonard works.

I haven't seen Jackie Brown or Death Proof either. I gotta fix that soon.

BIG GAME - I'm assuming this is a Finnish film; stars Samuel L. Jackson as the President, who is protected from terrorists by a 13 year old hunter in the mountains. It's basically Home Alone, but the kid protects the President rather than his parents' home.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #23768 on:** January 07, 2016, 06:11:16 AM »

I've liked pretty much everything Quentin has done but Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction are my favorites.

It's got a cast of attractive women, some of his best dialog, one of his best soundtracks, Kurt Russel's most fun performance since Jack Burton, and it ends in an excellent old-school car chase. It's definitely worth it.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #23771 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:59:42 PM »

Death Proof is top tier Tarantino, def. Reservoir Dogs is my favorite of his but Death Proof lands either 2nd or 3rd for me.

Sicario is definitely a great movie. Thanks for pointing that out all. The wife even liked it.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #23774 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:29:57 AM »

upon Death Proof. I've still got no clue whatsoever how they didn't kill Zoe Bell in that car chase.

Mustang is fantastic. Its gonna be on my 2015-best-of list for dang sure. Essentially a prison movie, but the prison would be the rigid patriarchal culture that the quintet of teenage Turkish sisters are forced to live through. Its funny, thrilling, and enormously affecting without ever feeling at all manipulative. Its pretty great.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #23775 on:** January 09, 2016, 02:51:33 PM »

I liked Sicario for its bluntness on the matter and just general realism. The effect of that realism was possibly that Emily Blunt came off a bit weaker then I was expecting. Now I get that that was probably the point of her characters, the hopelessness of the situation personafied, but I did think she was far too naive for a movie so realistic in its characters.

Tasty · « **Reply #23776 on:** January 10, 2016, 12:49:03 AM »

No duh Guardians of the Galaxy will be in Infinity War, the first movie was the reason Brolin was cast as Thanos.

I just want to know if Daredevil and Agents of SHIELD are going to be integrated. Otherwise, this claim of "the whole Marvel universe will unite" is completely untrue.

The world needs Spider-man and Daredevil on-screen together.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #23777 on:** January 10, 2016, 01:25:33 AM »

Fuck I loved the bleak, pessimistic tone of Sicario. So good. Denis Villeneuve is easily one of the most exciting directors going right now. He just keeps getting better and better.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #23778 on:** January 10, 2016, 01:42:46 AM »

Watched Sicario tonight. What a tense and incredibly bleak film. Loved it.

Quaker · « **Reply #23779 on:** January 11, 2016, 03:51:26 AM »

Bone Tomahawk.

Neat little genre Western that plays like 30% The Searchers, 70% The Descent. Fantastic ensemble cast. Kurt Russell, Richard Jenkins, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox(!). Incredibly gruesome. Sad that they weren't able to get it a decent theatrical release but I'm sure it'll pick up a decent cult following. It's streaming on Amazon Prime as of a few days ago.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #23780 on:** January 11, 2016, 03:56:47 AM »

Matthew Fox was surprisingly good. I liked him in Lost, but mostly in a "haha, what a goober" kind of way. He really brought it in Bone Tomahawk.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #23781 on:** January 11, 2016, 11:14:41 PM »

Watched The Revenant tonight and thoroughly disliked it. Was just one big self-indulgent mess.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #23782 on:** January 11, 2016, 11:50:20 PM »

I really liked the cinematography and performances, especially Tom Hardy's. Other than that it was pretty repetitive and uninteresting. Surprisingly dull film for the guy who made Birdman.

Not even Lubezki da gawd can make a Iñárritu film tolerable

Man, they are really hiding the true villain from these trailers so it'll be a big surprise:

so waitasecond, this film isn't even about active military personal, but defense contractors?

as in, effing mercenaries, employed by the CIA?

holy crap. I mean, like, yikes man.

I keep seeing trailers for 13 Hours on Youtube and the only positive reviews it reference are from The Hugh Hewit Show, The Kelly File, and The Weekly Standard.

28 second clip from Bats vs. Supes.

benjipwns · « **Reply #23794 on:** January 14, 2016, 01:01:11 AM »

i thought it sounded like bats was starting to say "do you bleed?" and down in the feed was a link to the full 45 second clip:

lol at people going nuts over it on that twitter account tho

sayin after supes flies off makes him look kinda like a pussy in comparison to the first trailer where they made it look like he was sayin it to a pissed off clark's face

toku · « **Reply #23795 on:** January 14, 2016, 01:02:11 AM »

looks dope, I love bat's warble voice

Yeah the voice is great.

Shame they can't do the white eyes though. Black Panther looks awesome as fuck.

Gotta say I still love Supes takin off in the Snyderverse, especially when he gets the second sound barrier breaking part.

benjipwns · « **Reply #23798 on:** January 14, 2016, 01:12:32 AM »

Apparently we'll also get to see more about The Joker and Bats in the Suicide Squad trailer next Tuesday.

That's when they're doing that Kevin Smith hosted announcement of a whole bunch of the DC Film Universe stuff on The CW.

I just hope it's not all in a bunker, cause if so we just got spoiled heavily.

The bunker part of the movie will probably be, like, the first third or something.

Tasty · « **Reply #23814 on:** January 17, 2016, 12:22:02 AM »

I mean it was made in total secrecy, which for anyone who knows the Hollywood chain knows is pretty much impossible. The budget was likely very small and yeah, probably very few locations and a super quick turnaround from prod to post-prod.

toku · « **Reply #23815 on:** January 17, 2016, 12:33:07 AM »

It'll all be in the bunker then we get the original ending again but this time with mary elizabeth winstead.

I remember a large group of friends carpooling to go see it in college because we were all nerds and excited about a new monster movie. I had to study or some shit but I vividly remember them all coming back deflated, confused and upset but all agreeing it was garbage.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #23818 on:** January 17, 2016, 01:24:47 AM »

I saw it well after the hype settled, when it came out on dvd. The problem with most found footage films is that if the hook doesn't work the entire film fails/is a waste of time. You don't leave those films saying "well it wasn't good but the acting was impressive and I'm gonna google the soundtrack." Nah it's all or nothing.

Blair Witch works in part because it doesn't wait 20-30 minutes before trying to hook you. It's sets the tone early, you get some weird info on the subject, you get the traditional "one people giving eerie exposition" scenes, etc. Cloverfield gives you some wack attempts at introducing love triangles and shit. Then shit hits the fan and it's not scary or entertaining.

chronovore · « **Reply #23819 on:** January 17, 2016, 01:26:43 AM »

I liked Cloverfield, but was braced against disappointment. Instead I was happily surprised.
