Mixed feelings on BlackkKlansman. Was shocked at how positively it portrayed the police. The scene in the bar with the racist cop is just absolutely ludicrous. Ludicrous.
However, have to give Lee credit on the ending. The footage of Charlottesville is sickening and so obviously politically relevant.

Rewatched Watchmen last night for the first time since cinema. Remember liking it a lot more; it’s so... lifeless. In Snyder’s desire to film the comic without changing a thing, he seems to forget these things are called motion pictures. Breh sticks a camera in one place and refuses to move that fucker lest it look even vaguely different than the original.
Hereditary did a lot well, a good chunk of it really well. It probably took 10-15% longer than it should have to build the tension throughout the film. Some things that could have been developed narratively were done by exposition instead. Some parts probably weren't as well developed as they needed to be to contribute in the way they were intended. Some major moments seemed important but, in the end, seem like a Chekov gun. Some red-herrings aren't developed properly to give the intended impact. There is at least one WTF moment. And finally, the ending is provided by expository dialogue, which is a shame. So, despite it's craft, it's fairly good journey, it's strong performances, and it's eerie tone throughout, and I don't wanna sell it short, some real scares, the movie falls a little flat by the time the screen goes black.
Maybe it’s an alternative universe where the Waynes don’t die in an alley so we have a Joker but no Batman
By rodeoclown Go To PostWhy is there a Joker movie?It's a standalone with Joaquin Phoenix playing the Joker. They're trying to replicate the success of Logan.
By reilo Go To PostThe weak link thus far is Todd Phillips, but we'll see.His recent output is Hangover sequels and War Dogs. I don't really have much faith here.
Saw BlackkKlansman today. Very entertaining. Great performances. Little tonally jarring from moment to moment, but the end is haunting as fuck and makes it all work.
By n8 dogg Go To PostPhoenix and De Niro in a fuckin’ Joker film. Mad shit.Produced by Martin Scorsese.
Saw Tag tonight. It was better than I expected, quite funny and it had heart. The real life scenes were brilliant.
This has been a decent year for blockbuster comedies, Game Night and Blockers were also way better than I expected.
Saw Crazy Rich Asians tonight and it was a pretty packed house for a Tuesday a couple weeks after release. It's going to keep making bank, which is well-deserved because it's a delight.
By Zabojnik Go To PostWhen is Solo coming to distros? Didn't it semi-bomb? Feels like it's been forever.The Meg has made more money than Solo and even it isn't that big of a success.
Solo comes out in digital media in 2 weeks.

By reilo Go To PostThis is some super Oscar bait like la la Land.
The documentary about the recovery of the movie is coming out in the same day.
It's being screened in Venice on Friday.
The films screening at the BFI London film festival are getting announced right now and its shaping up pretty nicely.

Trailer shows way too much but it's far better than the previous trailers.
Looks like it could be a fun ride.

"We took a vote, Predator is cooler, right?"
"Riiiight"
"Fuck yeah"
Okay Shane Black, maybe you pulled a rabbit out of your ass.

Fox really should've lead with this trailer first. It makes it look like a proper good time.
Hopefully Shane was able to do something more with Olivia Munn than just hot scientist with bad dialog, but he's also not playing with house money with that casting.
By alt sy Go To PostThis is some super Oscar bait like la la Land.It's so blatant
Saw Adaptation. and Anomalisa for the first time. truly great films.
What are your "theories" about anomalisa?
I think is about falling in love and out of it. which hits home

SHAKE AND BAKE
gr8 movie
One of the most underrated comedies ever.
Disney tried to have Wakandans speak with a British accent...
wtf is wrong with white people? an African nation that has isolated itself from the world forever and you want them to speak in a british accent?

By RobNBanks Go To PostDisney tried to have Wakandans speak with a British accent…How does it make any more sense for them to have a generic african accent if they have been isolated?

you're right that's unrealistic as well, so since both options are unrealistic lets just go with british accents since Hollywood only believes in two accents, American (for movies taking place inside of America) and British (for movies taking place outside of America)
By FortuneFaded Go To PostHow does it make any more sense for them to have a generic african accent if they have been isolated?
b/c they were like any other african country up until they started hiding shit
By FortuneFaded Go To PostHow does it make any more sense for them to have a generic african accent if they have been isolated?They used the Xhosa language and accent (spoken about 2500 miles away from Wakanda supposedly is)
By diehard Go To PostThey used the Xhosa language and accent (spoken about 2500 miles away from Wakanda supposedly is)I understand Xhosa?
I’ll have to add that to my resume.
What I meant was that most of the time they are speaking English with a generic African accent so that Amercians will be able to understand them.
By RobNBanks Go To PostDisney tried to have Wakandans speak with a British accent…White people finally make a successful blockbuster movie about black people and this is the thanks we get. Shameful, absolutely shameful.
