Was all +1
Then -100, but I guess itās too late as the software is not letting me deduct my affection.
But Villeneuve is great, has he bombed with anything yet?
Not hate as in they are bad. Hate as in they are not at all to my taste. I also hate the LotR books but kind of enjoyed the original novelization of A New Hope by George Lucas himself. Back then, it was simply called Star Wars.
Lol
He has not. Every one of his movies has been an indelible work of art. I also enjoyed his quote above on whether he would make a superhero movie (BR2049 was pretty close to one iyam).
I caught Enemy on TV probably like 6 or 7 years ago now and wasnāt paying 100% attention. Rewound the ending about 3 times.
BR2049 was a box office disappointment and dune might be as well. BR was fantastic though.

Arrival and The Martian are the two best sci-fi of the last decade.
The Martian was a fucking terrible movie. It wasnāt even the best sci-fi movie that year, which included Ex Machina and Fury Road. Gonna have to adopt ālol clovisā as the default response to all your movie recommendations.

You criticismed the shit outāve him.
wat Martian was great. Ex Machina was great. Arrival was great as well. Sorry To Bother You still better than the lot by any measure.
Annihilation had potential, but no one involved had any idea where it was going. The books are incredible.

I liked The Martian but it had a lot of flaws. The biggest ones were the simplistic way the politics/PR was handled on Earth and the lack of impact of the years-long isolation on Matt Damon. Sorry, heās not going to keep his cheerful optimism up for that long and that unrelentingly. See Cast Away, a much better movie. They could have done a lot of interesting stuff with both of those aspects of the film, and they didnāt, at all. And donāt get me started on the dumb rescue rendezvous.
I saw Aquaman last night and it was not the worst thing Iāve seen. Contrived, yes. Predictable, yes. Thatās all Iāve got
I canāt help your bad taste. Itās a great hard sci-fi film with a great central performance.
I remember seeing ex machina in a theater and asking the dude who sold me the tickets how many people pronounced it right and he said ā10%ā. Thatās all I have to contribute today.

I would have taken the under.
I couldnāt get over the fact that those dudes in The Martian spent several trillion dollars to save one guyās life.
There were a lot of really great things about Arrival, but I never felt like it really worked overall. I wish there were more movies like it though.
Itās the least bad of the bad ones
