Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Written by Stephen King, the book was awesome and the movie is just awesome in a different way.

Thats in all of them.

The Broadway version of Predator

Iā€™m genuinely astonished that Conan isnā€™t everyoneā€™s #1 answer.

Thereā€™s no wrong answer. Heā€™s the greatest movie star ever.

I saw Arnold and his motorcycle buddies having breakfast in Malibu a couple of years ago, they were at the table next to ours. My son and his friend didnā€™t know who he was :frowning:

I challenge anyone to try to identify which is which in these photos with 100% accuracy. Hell Iā€™m still not sure they are two separate people.

What a career. Even his generic, formulaic, forgettable action movies were at least solid entertainment.

Man, Elvis has a legit shot at winning an Oscar for acting, and a Razzie for acting at the same time.

But crazy enough, it wouldnā€™t be the first time that ever happened

Wall Street, Michael Douglas best actor, Daryl Hannah worst supporting actress

EDIT: Looking at it just a bit longer. I would bet hard Hanks actually wins a Razzie for Elvis. Best Actor still a coinflip between Butler and Fraser.

Gone Girl is such an amazing movie. It never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.

Just casually watched Bloodshot while doing my work (or was I casually working while watching Bloodshot?). It wasnā€™t great, wasnā€™t bad. Itā€™s kind of hard to explain. It clearly could have been so much more, could have been a really cool start to a comic book movie franchise, but didnā€™t quite get there.

Action sequences and VFX were cool (edit: the final, big fight was not great). Idea was cool and overall pretty well done. Climax, while not awesome, did have a really neat fist pump, super hero reveal-type moment. Agree with one review that said it opted for pacing over character development, which is fine if you are focused on watching, but I focused on work for a bit and totally missed a key plot point, it went by so fast.

It just never really got ā€œthere.ā€ And while Vin Diesel was theoretically a good pick for the title role, his performance was flat. I think if they would have turned the dial slightly more toward character development and had a more dynamic actor in the lead, it would have been a lot better. The elements were there, just didnā€™t stick the superhero landing. It did set itself up for sequels.

Fincher is the GOAT!

He may very well be the GOAT at elevating material that might otherwise be too over the top and schlocky.

I will definitely buy movies at gas stations.
