By HasphatsAnts Go To PostGo see The Farewell y’allGreat movie
Lion King was absolute garbage
Mufasas death always had me in my feels. This movie somehow made it completely emotionless.
Disney needs to just stick to Marvel and Star Wars and stop fucking up their IPs

By s y ngmi Go To PostMan, QT is never gonna top Jackie Brown, is he?
Can’t top perfection
Funny how up until probably around Death Proof, people’s opinions were that Jackie Brown was a misfire. Now it’s pretty much everyone on the internet’s favourite.
Always been a masterpiece. Second only to Inglourious Basterds for me.
De Niro’s last GREAT performance, too. Save him, Marty.

I've always liked Jackie Brown. Pulp Fiction is still my favourite, I'm not sure I could rank the rest they were all equally as good. Death Proof was really shit and both Kill Bills were alright.
I just watched Endgame. It has some REALLY good highs, some good emotional scenes.
I wouldn't say it's a great movie though, just confusing at parts.
My favorite scenes? Avengers Assemble and the credits. The latter, when they go through the original Avengers takes me back.

Thought the Avengers assemble scene was cringe as fuck and is the sort of scene that Marvel movies tend to do quite well at avoiding.
nah that was good fan service. they've been building toward it for 10+ years it's fine to let them have it.
I think that was fun. What annoyed me was Scarlet Witch, who had problems dealing with Thanos' underlings suddenly turn out to be fucking overpowered.
Also smart Hulk just wasn't fun. He's just... there. Not big or strong as original hulk, and only use to the story is that he can use the infinity gauntlet without dying.
Some of the fans being pissed that Thor being fat is somewhat making fun of overweight people really need a reality check though.

What's bad is they're already assembled in that scene.
I love some of them, Winter Soldier remains my favorite.
I dont have it in me to keep up with it anymore though. I'll leave that to my nephews. Just leave me to my comedies and TV series.

i don't think this is true. think the main criticism it got was--like with most of qt's films--the constant use of the n-word.
i believe most people always saw it as his most grounded and mature work, certainly up to that point.
such a great film.
Robert De Niro Negotiating To Re-Team With Martin Scorsese & Leonardo DiCaprio In ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’https://deadline.com/2019/07/robert-de-niro-killers-of-the-flower-moon-martin-scorsese-leonardo-dicaprio-1202657042/
As Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese ready their splashy reunion mob drama The Irishman to world premiere at the New York Film Festival before Netflix releases its this fall, the actor and director are getting closer to jumping right back in with the Imperative Entertainment-produced Paramount drama Killers of the Flower Moon. De Niro is in early negotiations now to team with the director’s other most frequent collaborator, Leonardo DiCaprio.
An adaptation of the nonfiction book by David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon tells the true crime story of multiple murders of members of the Osage Indian tribe in 1920s Oklahoma that occurred after they found oil on their lands.
By n8 dogg Go To PostAnyone seen OUATIH yet? Fucking gutted I have to wait a few more weeks. Rewatched H8ful 8 recently for the third time and thought it was fantastic. QT the GOAT.
i loved it as well. saw the 70mm version in the theater. only time i ever felt an intermission was pretty fucking cool.
my only complaint about it was it could've been a tad tighter. the 'regular' version is about 20 minutes shorter, and it's on netflix over here, so i'm going to have to check it out one of these days before i watch once (which doesn't release here until another two more weeks 😩).
By Flutter Go To PostMy current on top of my head top 5 movies
Cool Hand Luke / Cinema Paradiso / Before Sunset / Ran / Chungking Express
I didn't even like Cinema Paradiso the first time I watched it, but I found myself thinking about it a lot. It's one of those films that is just so damned memorable.
chunking is great, but in the mood for love is wong's greatest work. haven't seen it a while. wish a cinema nearby would screen it.
By cashman Go To PostWasn't that Great Gatsby movie pretty shitty?
saw this the other day because leo has a new movie coming out and i hadn't seen it yet.
... i liked it. it's a baz luhrmann production, though--and that may not be your cup of tea.
Binged the Tarantinos over the last few days. Couple of words on each.
Reservoir Dogs - amazing for a first-time director to get so many outstanding performances from such a disparate cast, to write so many different characters and make them all so distinctive within 5 minutes of meeting them. Buscemi is the standout, but everyone's really good. Edited so brilliantly too, and is very different from the rest of his films because of how slight and lean it is. Not a moment is wasted, even when talking about Madonna's love for big dicks. I think the blocking of the film is brilliant too, making such excellent use of the warehouse space from start to finish. Always a real sense of cohesion and geography.
Pulp Fiction - What can be said about this film, really? It's just a super fucking good film. The music is almost supernaturally suited to the events it's synced up to, and does an outstanding job of setting the mood, getting you settled into the world of the movie. It's such a shame that Travolta and Willis aren't able to do work like this more often; Travolta especially is such a bumbling, chilled, amiable presence even when he's shooting people in the face that I'd love to see him work with Tarantino again. I don't think it's his best movie, but it's probably the most fun just to put on in the background and let it wash over you. Also: breaks my heart that Harvey Keitel now pimps out the Wolf to directline.com.
Jackie Brown - Really stood out to me this watch that after the opening sequence (and that opening sequence is an all-timer), we don't see Jackie for almost half an hour. The film is so well paced, so measured and mature compared to the show-off nature of the other films. The only narrative trick comes in the last sequence, with the cross-cutting between Jackie, Louis and Max, but it's there to sustain the tension and serve far more narrative purpose than Pulp's editing does, for instance (not saying Pulp is edited poorly, but it serves a larger purpose in regards to its non-chronological order). The fact that Pam Grier and Robert Forster weren't cast in everything after this is beyond me; they're both wonderful. Such low-key, subtle performances (De Niro is also wonderfully subdued); this film is probably the last Tarantino where the performances are in this key. I think Waltz, DiCaprio, Thurman, Jackson et al are all stunningly good in the later films, but there is a subtlety to this film and the performances that Tarantino either hasn't been able to match since or has no interest in matching.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 - such a step-up for QT in terms of the LOOK of his films (and Basterds denotes another change, but we'll get there when we get there). There's definite growth over his first three films in terms of editing, pacing, etc., but the cinematography here takes a massive step up because Tarantino just fucking goes for it. The Crazy 88 fight and the segue into the battle with O-Ren (that shot when she opens the doors up to the snow, whew) is just gloriously put together, choreographed, scored... probably the most fun thing he's ever done is that scene. It's definitely the film that marks the shift in his career; most people's mileage seems to be that his first 3 are their jam more than everything post-this, but I'm fucking here for the nutso confidence of the Kill Bills.
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - even though you should probably judge the two films together, I just love the opening of this with the Bride driving the car and talking to the audience, acknowledging the gap. Tarantino seems to think Bill is a lot cooler than he is - he's really just a fuckin' dweeb talking about Superman a lot - but taken as part of a whole with the first, it's a glorious achievement. The fight with Elle is fucking amazing too, Daryl Hannah putting in super serious cartoon villain work and I LOVE it. That whole fight is ridiculous, all flying kicks and absolutely no compromises made on aping kung-fu shit.
Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight still to go.

curious to hear what you think of Death Proof
I felt like he could've done more with it, it's barely a movie.
it was fine as part of Grindhouse

Great.
Can't wait to see the band back together. Especially Joe Pesci, after he was already pretty much enjoying retirement.

Both the animation and lighting complexity isn't there. It's almost always the animation that gives it away tho.
the eyes are needlessly shiny. and the face is too smooth-looking while still being a bit blurry, like it has vaseline smeared all over.
it looked better in the shot after that one.
honestly... i've watched it a few times and it doesn't look as bad as i initially thought, but it still looks pretty fake and unnecessary.

There's no sub-surface scattering really either, not for a direct light source coming accross his face like that.
I was hoping to see young De Niro and young Pacino, but the fact that we have De Niro, Pacino and Pesci together being directed by Scorsese is good enough
By rodeoclown Go To PostI'm assuming Hobbs and Shaw is lousy since it's out in two days and there's no reviews out there.Sorry friend, but that Rotten Tomato meter doesn't lie. Embrace the new Hobbs & Shaw franchise.
please correct me if im misremembering, but wasn't Jason Statham a flat out murderer when he first joined those movies now he is the good guy?
Mission Impossible Fallout was cool. For all the hype, the helicopter sequence(at least the in air part) wasn't all that.....hype?
Also, is Henry Cavill a bad actor? I think he might be a bad actor. Maybe it was the bad american accent.

By diehard Go To Postplease correct me if im misremembering, but wasn't Jason Statham a flat out murderer when he first joined those movies now he is the good guy?Yes, which is why Rodeo hates this premise. He killed Han.
By reilo Go To PostYes, which is why Rodeo hates this premise. He killed Han.
Yes. Ugh.

Also, the Rock sucks. I don't like his attempts to make these movies about him and his presence was a real drag in 8. But there's a lot of things about 8 that aren't good.
The Rock just desperately wants to be the biggest movie star on the planet but he doesn’t realize that starring in every movie just makes him annoying. If Paul Walker never died we wouldn’t even be getting a Hobbs and Shaw, but Groot can’t carry a movie on his own
By s y ngmi Go To PostMission Impossible Fallout was cool. For all the hype, the helicopter sequence(at least the in air part) wasn't all that…..hype?Cavill is terrible, yeah. I would forgive him if he was Harrison Ford or Sean Connery wooden where he works in very specific roles, but he isn’t even that.
Also, is Henry Cavill a bad actor? I think he might be a bad actor. Maybe it was the bad american accent.
Cavill was decent in Fallout; did exactly what the role required of him.
The Rock is the best thing in the only good Fast and Furious movie (number 5). Coincidence? I think not.
