Rogue One.

[tesla69]

Last Train From Gun Hill starring Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn

[ilduclo]

Alien Revenant. Pretty good until the grizzly gets Johnny Depp. No, seriously, in 150 years they'll still be using heavy link steel chain to secure cargo? I don't even think they're doing that now. Surprised they're not carrying barrels of salt beef and bales of cotton...

[_tunic_]

Ex Machina was on TV just now, didn't plan to watch it until the end but I just had to finish it. Very good movie.
And I missed the very beginning, so I'll have to watch it again some day soon

So... no good?

I've only heard bad stuff.

Disappointing.

Fucking good movie, right?

[ilduclo]

Sev, yeah I thought the Alien was pretty formulaic. Ex-Machina is good!

The Battle of Britain

Ideally I should be watching this on a Sunday afternoon: feet up on the settee with a beef and mustard sandwich watching Michael Caine shoot the fuck out of The Hun for a couple of hours. Happy days.

[!@#$%!]

haven't had time to sit and watch a movie in a long time but today at long last it happened

just finished watching mike leigh's HIGH HOPES which was... great!

except that i couldn't understand half of what they were saying and the DVD had no subtitles ha ha ha ha

but i got the drift of the story even though i'm sure i missed some great lines

damn

[ilduclo]

you can get most subtitles on line in just about any language, or maybe not taglog or archi

[!@#$%!]

i understood what the middle class cunts were saying which made it all the more annoying

Hah.

[!@#$%!]

YOUTH IN REVOLT

which sounds like the title of a godard movie (is it?) but it's actually a good and funny farce of a teen romcom

 

i laughed plenty and had fun with it

[ilduclo]

Cutie and the Boxer. Artist couple in Japan. Interesting folks, didn't care much for the art, though...

[Severian]

 

Not as great as people are saying but EXPONENTIALLY better than all other X-films combined and multiplied by a billion.

Two Wolverines fighting was like Terminator 2 level action intense.

Nobody deserves any Oscars, but it was pretty damn good.

yeah their personal drama was pretty enthralling. ah ha ha the life of the artist. yeah. fucking mental. it was sad too.

i did like the art by both though i could see how his was sort of stuck in a repetition to satisfy buyers (the eternal torment) and hers was more of a kind of journaling that nevertheless had the interesting layers.

better than X-2? i really liked X-2...

now in retrospect i dont know if it was because i saw it with a really great bunch of people of the movie itself. but yeah i liked it.

Oh hell yeah. Better than all of them. Oddly, despite being directed by the same guy who did The Wolverine, it's on an entirely different level than all of the other films. It almost feels like an actual film. Funny and touching and brutal and satisfying and sad... but not as funny or touching or brutal or satisfying or sad as some folks are suggesting.

In other words, it's no fucking Dark Knight. But it beats all the Spider-twat and Fant4stic movies.

I finally feel like the weirdness and fucked up seriousness of X-Men was brought to life a bit in this one. But again, it's no fucking Dark Knight.

Good, solid flick though. Probably will be culturally influential. Get ready for more R-Rated supermovies.

I thought it was pretty great. Yeah. Best xmen movie unless you count Deadpool.

Yeah. Kind of along the same lines as Deadpool. Like, maybe Logan is to drama what Deadpool was to comedy? Logan even had kind of a "meta" quality with the referencing X-Men comics.

There were some nice horror undertones to it too. See: Xavier's "seizure" in the casino... pretty terrifying. Also "X-24" vs. Logan. X-24 in general, really. Like I said, he reminded me a bit of the T-1000 fighting the T-whatever-the-fuck (Arnold model).

It didn't really have much of anything in common with "Old Man Logan," except for the road trip vibe and the references to an incident at Westchester. Like, nothing. Oh, there were "Reavers" but they weren't like the horrifying creatures in "Bordertown."

Speaking of Deadpool, I've been reading some interesting Deadpool side stories lately. "Night of the living Deadpool" and "Return of the Living Deadpool" and "Deadpool CORPS." I think they could make a pretty badass movie out of Night/Return.

you fuckers are gonna end up getting me to go to a "theatre"

i haven't done that shit in AGES but this week im gonna be in a decent town with decent "theatres"

now tell me please the two of you, how much fucking backstory do i need to comprehend the narrative?

(i mean, i know vaguely who logan/wolverine is and his superpowers and how they came to be. and his shitty temper. not a fucton more but pretty much. i mean i've seen the previous movies but fuck if i can tell you what they were about. some asian chick wraps her legs around his head and he loved the swedish chick who is now some space ghost and rogue and him were buddies at some point and... something. he had memory loss. who cares. am i gonna understand the movie if i go to it cold?)
