Plain Old Tele

Oh, TDKR is much more entertaining than INTERSTELLAR.

It'll end up being seen as one of Nolan's lesser movies. In fact, it's already settling into that category now.

No one's mentioning the science exposition because this movie did it better than INTERSTELLAR.

But the advertising hasn't been particularly scary. It's certainly a world of difference than your usual horror promo spots. That being said, I think they're doing a lousy job, especially with the print ads. They're very confusing and don't sell any sort of concept well.

No, but it will when all is said and done (unlike some of the other bigger-budget bombs).

It's actually bombing worse than F4.

^^ Yes, the whole point is that in this war, morality is dead. In terms of the Sicario, IMO the earlier discussion was more referring to his character within the context of action/thriller dramas. We're used to having a "good guy" kill a bunch of bad guys, or even a "good guy" who maybe skirts the rules and does some (minor) bad stuff like ignore rules or authority, but the movie emphatically showed how completely it dismisses that standard movie trope in favor of the bleak reality of the War on Drugs: there are few "good guys" and the idealists are either crushed or tossed aside when they're no longer useful.

I guess ambiguous in terms of what? He's sort of transcended any concept of right or wrong... he simply exists to exact retribution upon those who killed his family. He doesn't care about anything else -- he's not sociopathic enough to kill anyone he wants, even if they don't oppose his goals, but obviously he doesn't care about morals either, since he's willing to kill completely innocent people to serve his ends. In terms of who he's working for, I think both are true: he's working for both the Colombians and the CIA because they're allies in this cause.

TRADING PLACES all the way down at 48?

All due respect, guys, we shouldn't do a WWW thread for a movie that cost only $30m. It's small-fry.

I thought they made it clear he was working for the Medellin cartel. But regardless, th fact that the CIA was helping a cartel was a great gut-punch, as was the really dark reveal for Del Toro's character. We as the audience were so used to movie convention and the fact he'd been ostensibly a "good guy" helping her out that his ruthlessness (toward everyone) was very effective.

That's a really small sample size.

My first distinct baseball post-season memory is Niedenfuer versus Jack Clark. Ugh. Playoff baseball is complete agony to watch.

Keep it up and I'll have to start talking about Sam Bradford. Or, uh, the Phillies.

Yes I can.

2011 was a weaker year, for me. 2014 was excellent, so were 2007, 2004 and 2003.

Nah.

I like CARLOS a great deal. It's not TSN, though.

Top 10 since before then.

I think SOCIAL NETWORK is one of the best films in the past decade too.

HOOK shits in your mouth and claims it's chocolate pudding.

Get the fuck outta here, coolio.

Redcapes is the one least used, IMO.

@carnojoe As I complete BAD BOYS 3, I can safely say that I've never, EVER, written this much action into a single script. 10/9/15, 2:34 PM @carnojoe As soon as I get the greenlight, I'll give you guys the official title, which is NOT "Bad Boys 3". 10/9/15, 2:41 PM
