my favourite quote from what we do in the shadows. copy/pasted from the imdb cos I'm lazy af

 

Deacon: I think we drink virgin blood because it sounds cool.

Vladislav: I think of it like this. If you are going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.

How about Ant-Man and Kingsman back to back?  

 

That pairing would be Ethan-approved.

I wonder though if my other great animated film was what got the shaft instead. Seems not many people actually saw it and no one else who did loved it as much as I did

What We Do In The Shadows

 

 

 

One of my personal favorites from 2015. This movie was just brilliant and continued in the mockumentary tradition of "This is Spinal Tap". A great look at the lives of Vampires in present day New Zealand, it dives into topics we never see in other vampire movies. Definitely recommended that you seek it out in case you haven't seen it yet.

Pretty hysterical throughout... Obviously not as good as Spinal Tap. That's one of the greatest of the greats.

Never saw this and I don't plan on ever doing it. 

[BadAtGender]

So far we have things on my list and things I haven't seen. I'm okay with this.

Kingsman seems pretty assured to show up on the top 15.

 

Ant-Man might show up now thanks to the Marvel loonies. That and Age of Ultron.

 

I would have no issue with Ant-Man. Michael Pena can narrate its inclusion.

#21 - THIS IS NOT A JOKE or MISDIRECTION 

 

Spoiler

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

 

 

 

Since I haven't actually watched the movie, I cannot write anything concrete here.

Slow burn but immensely great. This and P1 together are an altogether different beast to CF, while that was more fun and fast paced, this is a slow burn war film, I found this especially poignant and altogether the way they did it makes sense (minus long gap between the two parts), I don’t think a CF type film would be worked for this story, it’s not that type of film at all. Brilliant and fitting end. Temper expectations in terms of epic explosive conclusion because this is a slower and more thoughtful conclusion.
JLaw: fantastic but wasn’t expecting anything but. Hutch was great, Gale is probably my main nitpick, too obvious about his principles, talks a bit too much rhetoric at start, which is an odd characterisation change from P1 . Core supporting cast (Harrelson, Banks, PSH, Malone, Claflin, Sutherland) were a joy to watch, not too sure on Moore though (although one scene early on is fantastic) but we’ll see when I see this again tomorrow night.

Other points:
- trailers featured too many major lines and that took away from their impact in the film, especially with one scene early on.
- Squad 451 cast - underused but damn Henson (Foggy from Daredevil) was a standout, wish there was more Ali.
- Coin (Moore) unintentionally funny? Drew a few chuckles from the audience.
- Credits song and suite are beautiful, bravo JNH and JLaw.
That’s it for now, more tomorrow after rewatch.

This movie died on my mind during a re-watch. It doesn't hold up at all, IMO, except the legendary 5 minutes that will live forever. Furious 7 showing up here also assures Jurassic World isn't showing up at all so fuck this stupid dumb shit. 

 

 

A beloved film like Jurassic World will no doubt show up much higher in the list

Never ended up seeing MJ2, the flatness of MJ1 buried any interest I had.

it's the one with all the action and somehow it ends up being drabber (or more drab?).

There's still less of the action beats than you might've expected in mj2. It's really a lot of the same heist/covert rescue beats as mj1, further short circuited by laughable love triangle interludes

How the fuck did this shit got in  ?

 

I guess I am happy because JLaw but if we had to have a JLaw movie in out top it should have been Joy, not this.
