-GD-X★ 7,746 Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I watched They Cloned Tyrone. It’s like blaxploitation meets sci-fi I dug it big time. The cast was excellent (Jamie Fox as a pimp ) and the concept was solid. I found the main reveal to be a little predictable, but the little nugget at the end is definitely fun conversation material. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved it too. There is a conspiracy theory that a lot of black people believe about the government doing experiments on ghettos, especially distributing illegal drugs. The movie exploited that without coming off political and all 3 main actors did great. I wanted to hate on Boyega but couldn't! I must admit I fell asleep a bit cause I watched it after a long day at work and don't know if the ending flew over my head, Spoiler Why would Fontaine be surprised to see another clone? He knew they existed already no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, in that case I agree, it's a predictable ending. Gives room for a sequel too which would be cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The flashbacks aren’t the best either. The last few eps are godly, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know we're considered to be in the golden age of television, but man there were some epic shows back then too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’ll probably play WAY better when binged. The weekly wait made each of the weaker episodes seem that much more annoying since they felt like tangents to the main plot. The finale is perfection for season 3 though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Impossible 409 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) So a friend had bought extra tickets for Barbie so we got to see it earlier than expected. The concept is dumb as possible but the end result is pretty damn good to be honest. I have to say all of the insecure man crying online is a psyopp to sabotage the movie. Yes, the dreaded "patriarchy" word is used multiple times...for comedic effect... by a living toy who roller bladed into the real world. So maybe these grown ass men need to get fucking lives an learn how to please aa woman. Edit: I want to add the movie is more about power dynamics than feminism vs the patriarchy. 90% of the movie takes place in Barbie land... Yes Barbie land, so the power dynamics ares reversed. If anything the movie also deals with many topics, toxic male behavior, but also some of the unfair pressure society can put on men. I highly recommend as a date movie.

Like I would rather wait for Oppenheimer to watch at home. Barbie is honestly extremely enjoyable. Someone has to be a demon to not like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nolan notoriously insists his movies are made to be experienced in a theater. He was pissed when Tenet was available too soon on streaming services. And I would agree, I would have probably liked it more if I saw it on a big screen and with an audience Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Alan Grier has been money for over 30 years now, I am absolutely flabbergasted why he hasn't gotten more jucier roles for him to ham it up. This dude was out-hamming Martin Lawrence 30 years ago. Edited July 23, 2023 by jehurey 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dunkirk in 70mm imax was simply incredible and the best experience i've had watching a movie in a movie theater. I might watch Oppenheimer sometime soon, but it being 3 hours long is really making me less enthusiastic about it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
