They're vain, disingenuous, and only in it for their own personal glory in most cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,273 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Watched the Hobbs and Shaw movie last night on $5 Tuesdays. It was fine for what it was. It is somewhat ridiculous that they have an enemy that is closer to a James Bond supervillain, so how is that supposed to co-exist with the F&F crew? I didn't see the 8th movie, but I presume that they were already fighting enemies on the level of James Bond villains. They had a couple of good surprise cameos in the movie.

Yeah the corporatization of them, their handlers constantly checking their trending, and opinion of demographics, their stress of being dropped. One of the most illustrative scenes to this end is when they're filming their puff pieces, and after they say cut for The Deep, they toss the garbage back onto the beach for another take. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Awwww yeah Quote Apocalypse Now has resurfaced for its 40th-anniversary in what Coppola is calling his definitive final cut. Interestingly, this does not mean simply including everything he shot. He has removed some of the “Playmate” sequences that were in his 202-minute “Redux” edition from 2001, but this cut retains the extended “dinner party” scene with French planters in the jungle, like an encounter with angry imperial ghosts. Quote Apocalypse Now: Final Cut is released in the UK on 13 August and in the US on 15 August. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,937 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 ^holy shit, it looks insane for a movie from 1979. They've done some work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,761 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) yeah, i've been checking out a lot of before/after shots. this will top bladerunner (which is stunning in 4k). Edited August 7, 2019 by -GD- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,273 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 In many ways, the movie felt like a Stanley Kubrick movie, because they kept on travelling up the river and they would come across more and more fucked up shit that made less and less sense. And if started feeling like some sort of lucid dream. And then when you get to the final place, shit gets real. Hideo Kojima WISHES he could make something a quarter as good as this.

jehurey 3,273 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I've been seeing commercials and video clips of the Good Boys movie starring three young kids who don't know anything about sex. That shit seriously looks funny. The movie is rated R and from the makers of Superbad. I might catch that on a cheap Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I think get out was a pretty cool movie but nothing special. It was interesting, but people are making it out to be some Hitchcock level movie, it's pretty average. He's going down the M. Night Shyamalan route trying to make the mildly interesting seem crazy by throwing a serious twist at the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It didn’t have the focus or punch Get Out did. I still enjoyed it, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,937 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Im not sure if anyone watches Money Heist on Netflix, but the ending of season 3 was fucking nuts. This is one of the most entertaining foreign shows out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
