By Wengward Go To PostI recently finished reading Call Me By Your Name. Movie looks great and it has been getting some incredible praise.
No one click this spoiler because it’s a huge spoiler
I heard the movie stops when Oliver leaves and then Elio has the conversation with his dad. Which is a weird decision to me because the point of the story is hammered home in those last few pages of the novel

Asked for his advice for young actors, he said:“If you’re doing anything, whether it’s a play or a film, learn every single word that you have to say backwards forwards and sideways before you go into a rehearsal room and before you go on a film set.
“That might sound like an obvious thing, but it’s not currently: there is a fashion for not knowing your lines.
“It’s been invented by people who don’t want to do their homework, even as a creative choice.
“You will not become imprisoned by intonations, and therefore it’s a discourtesy to your fellow professionals. “That’s a piece of bull---t from people who don’t do their homework.
“That’s an important thing to know. That’s as important a thing I could possibly say.”
He added: “You can’t rehearse with a book in your hand. And you can’t go and be on the sides of a film set and not know your lines until someone turns the camera.
“There is no lightning. Nothing’s going to strike.
“Rehearsal is not the enemy of spontaneity. The idea is the process is you say the lines over and over and over and over and over again until you can give the impression that you’ve never said them before and it’s just occurred to you. That’s the gig.
“It’s entered the language in a very deep way. Professionals will advise young actors not to learn. It’s got that bad.”
In a self-deprecating talk about his career, Nighy told the Cheltenham Literature Festival he had suffered with anxiety throughout his career, having to force himself to go on stage.
Discussing how he had overcome it, he joked that standing still and keeping a straight face could convince audiences the character was having deep thoughts.
"People make millions of dollars doing this," he said.
By DY_nasty Go To Posthorrible poster. wowSo as good as the trailers have been.
By s y Go To Post:/
Sy, People get paid a shit load more than we do to make this stuff. This is like first photoshop class stuff :(
Easiest thing to do for a movie poster is to jusr dump the characters and make it look at least cool like black panther, but they still managed to fuck that up
Of course Tarantino new. Everyone did. I'm not involved in Hollywood and even I knew. The signs were there if you kept your eyes open.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostWouldn't be shocked if Tarantino is guilty of doing something similar.
This isn't helpful.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostWouldn't be shocked if Tarantino is guilty of doing something similar.Yep. The dude is a creep
By Elchele Go To PostYep. The dude is a creep
Examples please...
Never liked Tarantino as a person.
He always seemed like he enjoyed saying the n word way too much in Pulp Fuction.

By Kidjr Go To PostExamples please…Well, strangling Diane Kruger for real in Inglorious Basterds is a bit too far.
The way he uses his movies to satisfy his foot fetiche is also a bit creepy.
By n8 dogg Go To PostFoot fetish = sexual assaultNever said he did do anything, just said it wouldn't shock me if he did.

Come on. You can't be serious.
Geostorm currently has a bigger Rotten Tomatoes rating (24%) than The Snowman (10%).
Who expected that?

Geostorm has 17 reviews.
The Snowman has 87.
Geostorms best review is "It's awful but also kind of amazing."
True but no one in his perfect mind expected much out of Geostorm while a few people (me included) expected The Snowman to be decent and not one of the worst movies of the year.
Really surprised to see Only The Brave with so much acclaim.
The timing of the release is unfortunate, while I really want to see it, I don't think I could handle it right now.
44 people died in Portugal from forest fires just this Sunday and thousands lost everything.
The total of burnt area was 8.5 times the size of my island, the village where my grandparents used to live and where I spent many summers (and also lived there for a year) was apparently devastated including their old house.

They’re releasing the movie as some of the worst forest forest happened all across the west coast. San Francisco just finally today had clear air after it rained.

By diehard Go To Postyou waited this long? smh.
i passed on a lot of movies because my TV was trash. Now that I have OLED, I'm doing a lot of catching up.
By Suen Go To PostNeed to watch John Wick 2.
I have JW2. I actually bought it before JW1. Figured I needed to see the first one, and Best Buy just happened to be having a UHD Bluray sale, and I copped it for $15.
rewatched Martyr's b/c a podcast talked about it and i remembered i seen it years ago....what a mistake for all that imagery
By n8 dogg Go To PostGonna go see it again next week
Death of stalin too
yes m8 death of stalin is well good
trailer makes it look like an ealing comedy farce; but its a wee bit more bloody than that.
Only The Brave
Saw the film yesterday and found it to be a by the numbers biopic. How much you will enjoy this film depends entirely on how invested you will be with the characters and quite frankly only three characters are given any significant focus...Brolin & Connelly + Teller. I found Teller's character to be alright at best but nothing notable going on there for me to care much. Brolin and Connelly had a better dynamic going on that made for enjoyable watching. Everyone else was more or less a face in the crowd. Oh, Jeff Bridges was great too as Brolin's friend. Not much going on there as a character but Bridges is always awesome.
Beyond that the film was directed competently enough. The soundtrack was forgettable though or perhaps I've been spoiled by Wind River and everything else seems worse in comparison. XD
3/5

Geostorm is the best movie of 2017! I can’t believe a movie like that can exist in the new Hollywood era. Independence Day: Resurgence has got competition

You need to be subtler, Bond. ^_^
New here too.
Always up for movie talk.
Re: Under the Skin mentioned above, textbook case of a movie that isnt satisfying in the moment but keeps making me think afterwards.

I fucking loved Under the Skin. Real moments of haunting beauty in that. Glazer has real mastery of tone.

Butler nearly that for that movie, twice.
Deserves an oscar.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostButler nearly that for that movie, twice.

I believe it will be in the running in 2018; Butler needs a standing ovation for the wild Geostorm
I watched A Monster Calls last night, I wasn't expecting it to go as deep as it did. Just great performances all round.
By T-Money27 Go To PostI'll throw my hat in the ring for Under the Skin as a borderline masterpiece
Anyone that says otherwise probably thinks Winter Soldier is a 70's political thriller
