So awesome that 3 of the greatest moments in cinema happened in the last couple years. Flash scene was cool but like really? Why was this even in the show? They're wasting time doing TWO voted by twitter awards and yet couldn't find time for actual awards. Embarrassing.

2021 Catch Up:
Spencer - 8/10
Nine Days - 7/10
Wife of a Spy - 8/10
Finally finished my catch up (https://boxd.it/bnr5I). Ended up seeing 90 films last year which was a tad excessive, I'll definitely dial that down and be more selective this year!
New Favourites I Discovered This Month:
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - 10/10 On the surface just a legacyquel DTV action flick but is more in line with an arthouse horror film, more indebted to David Lynch, Gaspar Noe and Michael Haneke than traditional action stuff. It's still insanely action packed but it's so extremely brutal (it earns the NC17 so fair warning) and intense that my heart was pounding out my chest the entire time. It's also standalone so you don't need to see the other UniSol films!
Out of the Blue (1980) - 10/10 Dennis Hopper's finest hour behind of and in front of the camera. A spiritual successor to Easy Rider and the last dying gasp of New Hollywood. Haven't been this knocked out by something in a long time.

I have actually never seen Top Gun and i have three questions:
1) Should i be ashamed of myself for never having seen it?
2) Is there a scene in the movie where Tom Cruise is running? Would be quite pathetic if there isnt one.
3) Is the movie actually good? Or is it more like ... good?
1) Yes
2) No
3) It's not top tier Tony Scott by any means but its great fun.

Really dislike this Joker so far. Reminds me of the New52 run where they’re trying SO HARD to make him grotesque and scary but it’s just lame and try hard.

I think CODA's winning BP, which is a sentence I cannot believe I'm typing. I saw it last fall and it's fine? At the very least it doesn't come across like oscar bait or pretentious, it seems genuine enough but its such a whatever film. If it wins, it's going to get so much undeserved hate and will over time be like The Artist which won and was immediately forgotten about. Netflix losing after ALL of this campaigning and seeming to have it in the bag is very funny though, didn't Apple beat them to the punch at the Emmys as well?

If they just released a 3 hour cut of his JL in theatres (after letting the man grieve) it would’ve been well received (moreso than the Snyder cut since the length issues would be fixed) and this whole DCEU mess could’ve been averted.

Time to give Bay all the money to direct Jacob Elordi in SUPERMAN
I love Bay but he’s a total nihilist, we REALLY don’t need that in Superman. Wasn’t he supposed to do Lobo for DC, that was a perfect fit I wonder if that’s still in development.
-
I think this film has a LOT of potential, youth character tapping into what people like about Spidey plus a really unique origin and power set. Plus we can get a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle team up down the line as well.

Isn't it suppose to have a bullet ?
people should redirect their anger at Bruce Jenner
Bruce?
Also yeah she killed someone too and unfortunately didn't get the punishment she ought to have gotten so what's the point being made here? That two wrongs make a right?

I don't a fuck about Alec Baldwin, but the media clearly cherry picking here. Baldwin was supposedly beyond distraught following the accident, treated the husband and child of her very well, and preemptively tried to create a settlement for them.
I also see no issue with completing the film? She is FAR from the first death on a production. Google it - there have been many of them. The films were almost always completed? What is so strange about that thought.
We now know that the gun fired without Baldwin pulling the trigger. He apparently simply cocked the gun back, which people do all the time with those old fashioned guns. IDK why everyone is always looking to rip someone down. This was clearly an extremely unfortunate accident.
He wasn't just an actor for the film though, he was a producer and bears responsibility for the unsafe set. They went for non-union crew to save money, underpaid people, safety standards were not being met prior (accidental discharges happened prior to the incident). As a producer, him and the other people producing had a duty to ensure safety on set. Also "simply" cocking the hammer of a gun is still extremely dangerous as it can fire if it drops down (which is what happened).

Sony should've added some fake applause and screaming for the Tobey and Andrew entrance scene (which I think sitcoms used to do for cameo appearences) in the blu-ray. It just does not work without it.
Oof, I hadn't seen the movie but I looked up the scene on youtube and it's so awkwardly paced and structured with all the silence lol, surreal stuff.

The more that comes out, the worse it looks for Baldwin. I felt bad for him at first (when it truly sounded like a freak accident) but not anymore. Man keeps deflecting and doesn't seem to show any guilt or remorse for what happened.

Probably not too shocking but that's definitely a movie I would pay to see. It's a good trailer with obvious Texas chainsaw massacre inspirations and being born in the 70s and a child of the 80s I'm ready for a good old fashioned gory slasher horror pic that doesn't involve anything supernatural or time travel or hereditary like psychological plot pieces. Just give me a mad man with an ax or a chainsaw killing people and they can take my money.
I really hope the trailers are selling it as is because if it turns into another vapid "elevated" horror film midway through, imma riot lol.

His daughter set him up with an IG to provide updates on the film.
I love John Woo and genuinely thought he retired (rumours about health issues) but I am so stoked he's back. Dialogue free, purely Woo style and image making? Inject that into my veins.

Levy doing DP3 really isn't a surprise but it's a bit of a shame since this series will continue to have zero style to it.
-
I think it'll have a BIG opening weekend but nothing insane which will start to have people freaking out about this underperforming...until the legs kick in on week 2 onwards.

Wish Paramount still had this franchise, they would have hyped the f**k out of the movie's title announcement by now!
The lack of the paramount logo morphing into something is gonna suck in the new one. Unless they find some loophole to still kinda do it.

The Cage/Pascal hang out stuff looks entertaining but the rest looks painfully unfunny.

Dark Knight Rises is a blast, Bane is a hoot, one of the all time comic book movie villains imo.

Anyone who saw Batman in IMAX and got the Nope trailer, did the aspect ratio open up? I entered my Batman screening right when the trailer ended and never got to see.
It did not, the only aspect ratio trailers were Top Gun and the little bits of Flash in the DC montage thing.

People say they've been wanting a detective Batman for a while now…yet we got it in ‘66 already!
Y’all think Pattinson could’ve ever solved these riddles? 🤨 I think NOT

2 hour runtime for this seems fine, a lot of the marvel films are overly long and bloated anyway so I welcome a leaner runtime.
