[Best Animated Feature 2022]

Apollo 10 1/2 should get nominated. It's really good.

[Name & Rate the Movies/TV You've Watched.]

Finished season 1 of Barry, this show is great. The scene with him and Chris in the car is one of the best scenes I've ever seen on TV. My only complaint is that

Spoiler

it stretches the plausibility of him not being caught pretty damn far. Like how does nobody suspect the weird ex-Marine with anger issues that keeps talking about killing people of being the killer? And that last scene, while incredibly acted, was kinda ridiculous story-wise. I was expecting them to reveal it was a fantasy the whole time but I guess not.

 

Watched Kairo the other day. Cool premise and had some really memorable/unsettling scenes, but just like with pretty much any movie marketed as "OMG SCARIEST MOVIE EVER" it never lives up. Also had that thing where I couldn't tell if some of the acting was bad or it was just a language/cultural barrier.

Also I don't buy that there werent any red flags before all this shit the last few weeks or whatever. He's been in a few of these movies now, there had to have been signals he was trouble. Didn't he want to rewrite the script for this movie before committing this or something? Bet WB is just thrilled they didn't tell him go kick rocks then and there.

If they do release this in theaters I don't see how anyone does any press for it. Just dump it and move on.

[Spider-Man: No Way Home | December 17, 2021 | The More Fun Stuff Version (yes, that's what it's called) comes to theaters September 2nd!]

The More Fun version of this movie would be the one where they cut out everything before the other Spider-Men show up.

[Jurassic World: Dominion | June 10 2022 | 6th Most Profitable Movie of 2023]

I remember being kind of annoyed by the kids in JP as a kid. I definitely started to hate the Ewoks when I was around like 12-13.

[Jurassic World: Dominion | June 10 2022 | 6th Most Profitable Movie of 2023]

The Lost World is fun as hell and a clear cut above any of the non-Spielberg movies in the franchise (I haven't seen Fallen Kingdom but I don't see myself eating those words). The only actual complaint I seem to see about it online is a moment that lasts about 10 seconds in the movie where a girl kicks a dinosaur, that's it.

[Top Gun: Maverick (2022)]

This is good fun. The plane scenes are thrilling. The scenes with Jennifer Connelly are "look at your phone" time. Zzzzz

Love Verbinski... As good as they were, he really got it right with Lone Ranger which is much better than them all. 

 

Disney still does some fun stuff via Pixar I think. But, yeah, not the same.

 

I love Rango. Such a weird, cool movie. That is all.

The movie just scored close to (and perhaps when actuals come in, the actual) Memorial Day record with an A+ CinemaScore and they want to get it on streaming sooner?

 

 

I'm assuming Paramount+ is desperate for content. They've got jack shit on there now

When I saw the trailer for the new Top Gun I thought it was gonna be like the Independence Day sequel or any other sequel that just came out way too late. Guess I didn't realize how popular the original is

And like how Jurassic World is the only big franchise focusing on a subject everybody loves, Top Gun is the only big franchise that focuses on airplanes and aviation. Everybody loves airplanes, no matter the age.

 

I guess that's another thing I'm not getting. Deep down I still basically love dinosaurs as much as I did when I was 6. Airplanes I could kinda take or leave

I'll be honest, the Top Gun hype is slightly baffling to me. I've never seen the first one, I just know it through pop culture references and I didn't have any interest in this new one until all the reviews and shit. Is it just because Cruise delivered a really good quality product in this movie, or is it also nostalgia for the first one? Will I have to watch the first one for this to make sense? Because I kinda don't want to lol

Plenty of our heroes and avengers had have a dark side, you'd never see Doctor Strange, T'Challa, Tony Stark or Steve Rogers go on a murder rampage, darkhold or not.

 

Maybe they should

And that little montage as Mordo explains dream walking, and we get all those fades and superimposing of Wanda reading the dark hold, and the music is just going hard. Bravo Raimi. 

 

Loved that part

[AMERICA CHAVEZ IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS WEEKEND THREAD | Aka carbonara civil war thread | 187.42M OW]

The good totally outweighs the bad in Dr. Strange 2. Definitely one of the better MCU movies. Raimi really got in his bag in the second half

[**SPOILERS** AMERICA CHAVEZ IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS **SPOILERS** READ RULES BEFORE POSTING **SPOILERS** ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK ** SPOILERS** DO NOT BE AN A-HOLE. **SPOILERS**]

I liked it. Starts out kinda boring and too heavy on MCU lore, but Raimi really starts hamming it up in the second half. The climax is basically huge budget Evil Dead which is pretty great.

 

I didn't watch WandaVision, and it did feel like watching a sequel to a movie you didn't see, but they explain what you need to know. I don't see why people have a problem with her being a villain when she's clearly the best character in the movie. Her casually murdering the lame Avengers ruled, I loved that after all the hype over the cameos, the fun ended up being watching them all get killed. Raimi definitely got to bring his visceral sensibility, compare the deaths in this to Aunt May's lame ass vague fatal injury and it's night and day.

 

Also Danny Elfman went ham on the music.

 

Strange throwing up after his trip through the multiverse was a great "the kids don't get it but we do" joke

Everything Everywhere is looking pretty much locked to become A24's biggest movie at this point, and might end up legging it out to nearly $60M. Definitely one of the more remarkable runs in quite some time.

Green Knight was sold as a fantasy epic with action setpieces and amazing visuals. Instead of getting that, the GA got a very slow and quite confusing movie with no action at all.

 

 

To be fair it did at least have that

 

 

Alexander Skarsgaard and Anya Taylor-Joy are gorgeous together in this movie. Everyone talked about how hot Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattison were together but he was covered in that ridiculous Batsuit the whole movie, that's not sexy

[THE NORTHMAN | April 22, 2022 | Robert Eggers Joint | Alexander Skarsgard]

Honestly I don't see why post-Game of Thrones this movie can't be somewhat successful.
