@Nick, I sent you a message. Lemme know!

100th post!

So, I recently watched a film (per @Nick's recommendation) called Speak No Evil, and I will say, it was, maybe, perhaps, the most cynical film I have seen in years. It was so bereft of happiness that I felt like a Dementor was sucking out my soul. What other movies can you think of that are...

Has anyone seen this film? The box office return has been minimal and the reviews haven't been great, but I feel like I still haven't gotten the good word on if it's a smash or pass.

Leonardo DiCaprio legitimately sliced his hand during his speech in Django Unchained and kept riffing in spite of that, even rubbed blood allover the poor actress behind him.

Reviews are out for The Flash (they're mixed-to-positive), is this make or break for DC?

What were your thoughts on the newer seasons? Did you ever watch them? I know Vince Vaughn was in one of them, which made me half-interested, simply because I always find it interesting to see a comedic actor flex their acting chops in a drama.

Unlike movie characters (usually), characters in television appear through longform storytelling and feature in smaller scale events. For this reason, while you might not relate to Batman fighting off a psychopathic clown, you *might* relate to Ross Gellar trying to find your own (objectively...

Title is self-explanatory, I'd say. If your life were a book, what genre would it be?

You're welcome!

The John Wick movies are fun, so I am alright with that. Keanu Reeves will never be mistaken as a powerhouse actor, but he is wonderful in these types of role. Like @Iroquois said, I would like to see them expand on it, and am hopeful it actually "can" expand. As much as it sounds like a good...

I went and watched it a few days ago. So, everyone's right with what they say about the Transformers movies. They are loud, bloated, and they lose their way a lot. They're stupid, but not always "stupid fun," if that makes sense. This was an issue with Michael Bay, where he would try to make...

Although I wouldn't call it hidden, if the Joker does anything to people (beyond entertaining them, because it is a solid movie), I hope it inspires more people to seek out Martin Scorsese's King of Comedy. It's a lesser revered film in his filmography.

An interesting exercise. I am glad to see you seem mostly satisified with it. Going to do it again? What was your favorite "get"?

Tramuson submitted a new story: The Little Mermaid (2023) - Rob Marshall Read more about this story...

I like what Nick said about it being sort-of the "Avengers" movie of Adam Sandler's career. It is chalk full of cameos, and a lot of that stupid style humor Sandler is known for, but also with a reflective, thoughtful approach that is absent from a lot of those other films. It's almost like when...

I am watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in-anticipation of the new film.

I believe the first film will do really well at the box-office, like in the 150 million range, and then, it will be in the 50-75 million range thereafter (point is, I think the first film will be enough to greenlight the trilogy).

They're good feet, Brent.

A lot of ambition there. I look forward to seeing your finished vision.
