Thought Godzilla was eh. Quite boring, uninteresting plot. Can't imagine Godzilla Vs Kong gets a sequel.
By Punished Go To PostThought Godzilla was eh. Quite boring, uninteresting plot. Can't imagine Godzilla Vs Kong gets a sequel.Yeah, I don't think it's as good as Godzilla 2014, but I also think that movie rules. The plot is nonsense, the human characters are worse, but the kaiju action is generally better in spite of the reaction shots, which this movie has a ton of. I lost count of how many times some big fight was cut up with Coach Taylor looking on in awe.
I still have no idea how Godzilla vs Kong will even work. Kong isn't a credible threat after Ghidorah.
Beale Street any good?
By Smokey Go To Postboring? damn. seeing it tomorrow.Enjoy two hours of coach Taylor looking perplexed and some cool CGI.
iirc, Beale Street is supposed to be fantastic, though I haven't seen it myself.

Saw John Wick 3 last night. Very entertaining. Had to look away at a couple killing blows. It feels like they could easily keep this series going on forever (story-wise), if they really wanted to.

There’s no action scenes and it’s full of black people. I’m not sure you’d like it
By Apollo Go To PostThere’s no action scenes and it’s full of black people. I’m not sure you’d like itCan't relate to the latter, but I'll make an effort for all my black friends here on Slaent.
Godzilla was decent enough . First one had more weight, but the action here was wild. Ghidorah OP and Mothra a real one.
Had to cancel my Dolby Cinema showing so ended up seeing it in a regular theater. Won't do that again smh. Don't realize how clean movies in DC look until you go back. Atmos sound too. It was half the price for a standard showing, but still.
Godzilla in UHD when it gets home with HDR gonna probably be a reference quality disc though.

I’m in SF today. Should I go catch an IMAX showing? 🤔🤔🤔
At a real IMAX screen I mean. There’s one here and one in Emeryville but that’s it

Look I respect black people more than anyone here (some might say too much) but I don’t see why they have to be movies. It’s just reverse racism.

I would. Seems fit for it. The audio might wear on you though in that setup. Lot going on when its not focused on the dumb human characters.

Godzilla was pretty meh. More action but none of it as good as the final battle in 2014. Soundtrack was great though. Bear McCreary needs more work in Hollywood.
Yeah I thought 2014 did an amazing job capturing the weight and movements of the monsters. KoTM felt goofier in comparison although the fights were still decent fun. Gidorah sidestepping Godzilla's atomic breath and countering with his lightning breath in their first encounter was pretty great. Also got a chuckle out of Mothra dodging Rodan like an 80s action hero during the final battle.
I did. Was basically a longer episode with a bit more shit going on in a smaller amount of time. Was good. I feel it's going to get a lot of shit for pandering and its ending but both made sense if you know what Deadwood is truly about, not a story so much as following these characters. The movie is like we just dropped in to see what's been going on since we stopped peeking in and it does that spectacularly.

As long as he doesn’t respect them the same way he does Gypsies
Great article on The Ringer about the making of Walk Hard.
It's a shame this and Popstar flopped, both incredible parodies of the music world.

Wish I knew more about gypsies. Wouldn't mind being one. They're like the Pikeys from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, right?

Wow, this was an exhilarating read. For the first time ever, I now know where my roots truly begin. Just like Riddick at the end of Chronicles and beginning of Riddick, I've been domesticated. Now I want to be the world's first Furyan Romani.

Godzilla was hot trash
Saw Rocketman afterwards, I loved it. Made me forget about how bad Godzilla was.

The wild part of Godzilla's poor box office (below Kong!) is that Godzilla vs Kong is already shot. Shooting those movies so close together is a level of confidence I don't think was warranted based off the merely okay returns for 2014 and Skull Island.
