I wanna go again but fuck me. It's almost fully booked all the time.
By WoodenLung Go To PostI wanna go again but fuck me. It's almost fully booked all the time.Might go back next week. Afternoon showings are always open for the IMAX except for Sundays.
Dude, the fucking overhead crowd shot in full 1.43 was ridiculous
By data Go To PostI just pause. A lot. Sometimes it can take me weeks to finish a movie.You would make bank if you start a reaction channel.
I will say I knocked out the extended version of Two Towers in one session.
No, but I'm sure I have some case of it. It's only really with more passive entertainment. I don't get distracted gaming or working out.
By Crusher Go To PostShook me to the core, whole theater was trembling.
All the big game directors were hyping him. I think also Tom Hanks especially took him under his wing.
All I could think of was "the DJ from Arrow??"

By WoodenLung Go To PostDunc 2. Inshallah holy war am here papangus.
Only thing I didn't like, was people standing up to… Applaud at the end of it. First time I've seen that shit happen. Please stop
Went for 70mm instead of laser iMax in the end.
By Laboured Go To PostWoke up with a hangover and thinking I might watch Double Dragon.Don't!
Atleast watch something with a little substance like Hard Ticket To Hawaii.

i just downloaded a fucking +100gb version of lawrence of arabia a few days ago. i am ready. tabarakallah
You know, I actually still haven’t seen Lawrence of Arabia. It’s even stranger because I adore Lean’s Bridge on the River Kwai.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostYou know, I actually still haven’t seen Lawrence of Arabia. It’s even stranger because I adore Lean’s Bridge on the River Kwai.Very pretty albeit slow movie
Enjoyed Dune 2. Still not completely bowled over by it; it lacked the novelty of Part 1, being much of the same aesthetically but more of it (save a great looking sequence when Butler’s character is introduced). I also just found it very hard to care about much of what was going on; I don’t think Villenueve has been particularly great at capturing the heightened emotions characters should be feeling since Prisoners, and the film feels distant because of that (although Bardem and Zendaya are very good in particular and do their best). Personally speaking, I’m also turned off by a lot of the Reverend Mother, chosen one by drinking blue shit stuff that Ferguson does here. Just find it all a bit trite, even if you can argue this is where it originated. Kudos though for committing to the saviour is actually a cunt shit, and the ending is actually really interesting for Chani.
Looked great. Sounded great. Loved it every time they popped out of the sand to kill people. Did not love Christopher Walken playing himself. Better than the first by virtue of having less exposition and a more engaging set of performances. 7/10. Maybe an 8. We’ll see how it sits.

it is bad when it comes from a poster who changes their review scale for every movie. One week a movie is 3/5, next week another movie is 2.5/4, last week it was MGS4/MGS1, this week a movie is 7/10, maybe an 8...
doesn't mean anything anymore.

i have never and would never use the 4 star scale because it is insane
and you can tell roger ebert(‘s widow) that.
By n8 dogg Go To Postcunt shit
I watched that BlackBerry movie on Hulu from last year with a bald Dennis. Not sure how accurate it was at depicting their rise and downfall, but it was an enjoyable watch.
I was never one of their customers, however, I do remember the BlackBerry Storm roll out being a massive cluster fuck with people in my office at the time.

Not sure when I'll watch Dune 2, such was my lack of interest in the second half of the first film. Was shaping up to be one of my favourite films as well, would definitely have gone to IMAX to watch the sequel if I hadn't soured on it so much.

Would be pretty wild to change that like. Most of the changes made, at least makes sense to... making a film hat didnt feel like a comedy or something. Making a really small kid running around killing people would seem a bit too silly. But changing the whole outcome of paul getting power...
By s y Go To Post
This scene in its full glory…….
The sound. The visuals. Inshallah, it was beautiful.
The Alia book shit could only work in an animated production. Thought the change was brilliantly done.
I'm in North Carolina...and I'm in a theater to see Dune the sequel for a second time. A larger screen and Dolby Atmos this time around. I think I'll have ally thoughts together after this screening.

Feels far more overt here than in the book though (which is good)
By Perfect Blue Go To Postn8 caving in to peer pressure and changing his 3.5 to a 4. Stand strong brother
I very often change my ratings after a few hours lol. Gut feeling dissipates with some thought.
The more I keep thinking about a film after I’ve seen it, the more chance it has of changing
Unfortunately, Ryan Gosling takes the crown for the most pointless example of method acting there’s ever been because he was basically fired for doing it.
After being cast in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, the handsome and chiselled star opted to pile on more than 60 pounds to convince as a schlub, despite failing to discuss his intentions with the director before he went ahead and did it.
When he turned up massively overweight, Jackson was less than impressed and ended up giving Gosling the boot, with Mark Wahlberg drafted in just days before the start of principal photography. In his own words, he was left “fat and unemployed” having gone on a huge weight-gain binge without approval.
By Εspi Go To PostProbably Gosling actually read the book while Jackson only read a summary of the story.
2une was great. I enjoyed it more than the book but then I wasn't wild on the series.
Just refreshing to be sitting in a cinema and not knowing what's going to happen next. It was just a 'fresh' film.
Glad that they leaned into the cynicism of the story because you could imagine studio execs wanting it toned down.
Would love to see a Le Guin's Dispossessed adaptation.

The Jamis fight at the end of Dune 1 was so ass I assumed the action in part II would be too. I was pleasantly surprised.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostYou know, I actually still haven’t seen Lawrence of Arabia. It’s even stranger because I adore Lean’s Bridge on the River Kwai.Me neither actually but got my thumb out of my arse and at least watched Spartacus last week so there's hope for it too.
going to try and catch an imax screening tomorrow.
saw the zone of interest yesterday. went in thinking... what can glazer do with the holocaust that i haven't seen before? the end result is madly impressive. rather than showing the horror, he lets you hear it--the sound design is very, very good--and experience it through the eyes of this nazi family that lives a beautiful life directly on the other side of the auschwitz camp wall. it almost feels like you're watching documentary because of the way it's shot. these people don't give a fuck. it's truly fascinating.
this shot is incredible film-making.
the film stays with you, and that's what makes it so great. 4.5 outta 5 stars.
i need to (re)discover glazer's cinematography because i've only seen under the skin--and that didn't click with me when i saw it a decade ago.
