Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

I'm saying you can do similar criticizing of the OT just from a story perspective about inconsistencies (not expectations) the same way you did for the PT about what you expected based off of the OT but that's not the only thing you spent criticizing in those quotes.

Suffice to say, when you don't like something as much as you did you can come up with essays upon essays on how to fix it instead of just accepting what it is.

I'd call in to question what you were told about the PT. I took what was talked about in the OT as things that happened in the past. Not tidbits of another trilogy of movies set in the past. Like after RotJ, I wouldn't have assumed the Clone Wars, Anakin's turn to the dark side, who he killed literally or figuratively, etc. all happened around the same time.

did anyone see Legend?  Man what a miss, Tom Hardy, british gangster movie did it wind up so bland

 

[KingParappa]

Guy Richie didn't do it

 

[servechilled81]

^ speaking of, did anyone else enjoy The Man From UNCLE?

 

[KingParappa]

I'm watching it RIGHT now. Not bad so far.

 

[00david00]

Had a chance to catch The Big Short today, really enjoyed it. That pitch scene had me dying. Look at my quant!

 

[KingParappa]

The Man from U.N.C.L.E

6/8

Guy Richie's style and comedy made me like this film. Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill's rivalry is played well by the two. The oneupmanship is funny,

Man from UNCLE was OK, 5/8..

Thought it could have been better, especially with what Vaughn did with kingsman (Vaughn was his producer on snatch and lock, stock and two smoking barrels)

Just expect more from Ritchie

concussion brought in $7.8 million, only a million more than that disgraceful remake of point break. I guess their main marketing point of it being "controversial" didn't help much.

Budget seemingly wasn't that big. Box office mojo says its brought in 25 mill on a 35 mill budget it'll probably end up around 50 mill or so. It smells more like awards bait than an actual project to sell a ton

Any of y'all seen Anomalisa?

Saw it yesterday, it was suprisinglly captivating. The stop motion was incredibly impressive.

It was good, Hardy as the Kray brothers was well done but yeah it was missing something. Story seemed to veer in to being more of a love story and how the crazy bro just ****** things up for them. They didn't seem as big as they were suppose to be.

I have zero excitement for most movies..

only movies I'm really really looking forward to this year civil war, doctor strange and rogue one (going go in with faith on 'hail caesar')

I'm hoping with batman v superman.. cautiously optimistic on deadpool and suicide squad.. and praying I'm wrong on age of apocalypse

hopeful on the new star trek and ghostbusters.. and finding dory

 

[getback]

Began watching Everest last night, couldn't finish. I'm probably an hour in. I already know I'm going to be disappointed. Probably because I read Into Thin Air, which was amazing. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoyed the movie.

what about Scorsese + Liam Neeson in Silence?

thats top 3 for me

im excited about civil war, dont really care about batman vs superman

suicide squad looks like the second best comic book movie of the year 

 

[Master Zik]

Just another action fantasy movie to me.

Never was in to Warcraft. Didn't even think they'd make a movie on it

just gotta say Scorsese and I'm in.. didn't even know about it to be honest

I'm really hoping on suicide squad and deadpool.. I don't have much faith in Snyder or singer

also curious to see how assassin's creed turns out

is the whole knight of cups movie shot in that dream sequence-type of narration and movement? i turned it off 15 minutes in because it was dragging. is it worth watching in its' entirety?

It can be very difficult to get into Terrance Malik films. Often times when people don't know what they're getting into, they leave disappointed.

this might sound silly or like too much work, but I've found the best way is to just force your way through the movie with no expectations going into it. Think about key concepts that stood out to you. Then read a
Few different articles about the movie and what themes he was trying to get across. See if you picked up on any of Those things, then give it another watch. There are so many layers to his movies, it's hard to just veg out while watching, you gotta put some work in.

If it's possible to have less than 0 interest/excitement that's where I'm at. I have no connection to Warcraft aside from having heard of it, so to me the preview looks like someone decided to make a movie that tells the story of variant looking Orcks from LOTR. Why would I want to see that? Doubt I'll even watch it once it comes to HBO, etc.
