Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
that scene will blow baby-juice's mind, and then when baby-juice grows up and becomes jaded it can complain bitterly about raya and the last dragon 7; for real this time though

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Has any other recent animated sequel bothered to advance the plot/have time pass? Incredibles 2 was just embarrassing when compared with HTTYD3
Also, best villain/hero opposition since princess and the frog.
The writers forgetting that Astrid is rad is the only glaring flaw.

I watched Nobody last night.
It was a lot of fun in a John Wick kind of way (coincidentally written by the same person).

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
i was kind of on the fence re recommending it because i think the last bit kind of didnt mesh with the first bit, but like, it's fine. it's amazing as that like dad action genre thing that's apparently become a thing, but then recommending it for that, like, i don't know that we have many people into that genre. but, then like, it's bob odenkirk and it's all competently made at the very worst. at the worst! so, like, you're not going to have a bad time watching it, obviouslyDantes wrote:I watched Nobody last night.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
It turned a little campy in the final showdown scene, and you're right it didn't quite mesh with the earlier parts of the movie. It was still an enjoyable entertainment.Shiny Days wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:15 pmi was kind of on the fence re recommending it because i think the last bit kind of didnt mesh with the first bit, but like, it's fine. it's amazing as that like dad action genre thing that's apparently become a thing, but then recommending it for that, like, i don't know that we have many people into that genre. but, then like, it's bob odenkirk and it's all competently made at the very worst. at the worst! so, like, you're not going to have a bad time watching it, obviouslyDantes wrote:I watched Nobody last night.

I notice today that the matinee price is back down to $9.50
This is much more reasonable. I think I'll see Black Widow

We've been watching the whole MCU, since Jack hasn't seen any of it yet and I got D+

They place Loki immediately after Endgame, which also makes sense for obvious reasons

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I'm not sure if we should watch Infinity War / Endgame back to back, or if we should throw some others (ant2, captain marvel) in between to break them up. IDEK if they work better as a single piece or if you want it to sit and marinate for a while (the matrix sequels work best watched as a single piece, apparently)

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
For the best effect, watch Infinity War, then watch the Endgame intro, and then wait 5 years and watch the rest of Endgame

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
could watch Endgame up until the NYC scene, then watch Loki, then go back and finish Endgame.
or splice that scene into the middle of Avengers, maybe.

"It used to be that shitty movies won by getting you to buy the ticket, and would just accept the critical pounding to follow. That was the trade, and it was a fair one:
We got to call garbage garbage, and from time to time we would admit to ourselves that sometimes this or that hunk of garbage was our particular flavor of garbage. But now, I think, in the era of online, an unredeemably beshitted movie industry wins by getting us suckers to dig and fortify rhetorical battle trenches around some new derivative horror show, out of pure tribal loyalty and near-religious sentimentality.
My hating this movie and writing about it is the prize, because I am providing it with a vector into some fresh corner of The Discourse. I haven’t worked out the more intricate mechanisms whereby this improves the Q Score or whatever of quite literally the most famous basketball player on the planet, but I know in my ruined soul that ticket sales are no longer the point.
The long con is to get you to believe as deeply as possible that attaching your one infinitely precious self to these endlessly mass-produced mockeries of art and forming up a human shield around them is in fact a moral act."

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I know basically nothing about the movie other than that clip you posted and I'll confidently say that the movie is ruined because they're treating it as an advertisement where they try to fit in as many cameos as humanly possible.

proof: me, I didn't understand why it was black and white for that scene until you explained it

tbh I think that guy is going to be okay as long as he manages to believe that none of this is his fault, and he was once again tricked by the dastardly Capitalism.Shiny Days wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 12:45 am "It used to be that shitty movies won by getting you to buy the ticket, and would just accept the critical pounding to follow.
