Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Bale was amazing

I remember betting on con air on the old HSX site, Hollywood stock exchange where you bought and sold movie stocks based on how much you thought they would gross in its first four weeks.

I bought con air about a year before it came out and made quite a bit of fake money off it.

I also like the move for what it is.

Edit: hsx.com is still there, wonder if it works the same way? I know they wanted to trade real money but don’t know what happened in the past twenty years.

Now I want to see it even more. GJ fox.

There’s a really good article in the recent New Yorker about this movie and Mattel’s plans generally.

MI7 was the first movie I’ve seen in a theater in a long time. The trailers were BAD. The Gran Turismo movie looks absolutely terrible, which isn’t a shocker. The Bob Marley movie also looks super cringey.

I’m torn because on the one hand, dozens of toy movies seems even more depressing than the current superhero hegemony, but on the other hand I’m really curious to see what a Uno movie could even be ?

Agreed.

The dialogue was like almost a parody.

Decent movie but not close to great.

I’m curious too but even with GLOWING reviews, I refuse to watch the Cheetos movie. This shit is getting out of hand!!1!!!111!

Wasn’t there some breaking news that this guy’s story wasn’t for real?

That movie just writes itself, bro. Nic Cage has to rescue his daughter by defeating Ralph Fines at an underground, high-stakes Uno tournament. I think the Story Break podcast guys might have even tackled this one.

Can someone please make some AI concept art of Nic Cage playing Uno with Ralph Fines.

I think like with JW4, there absolutely was intended slapstick humor

Oh for sure. But much of the dialogue was unintentionally funnier than the slapstick.

The Town Rewatchables was everything I hoped it would be. Love hearing those guys talk about Boston.

Tilda was fantastic in this, as were Clooney and particularly Tom Wilkenson. A+ performances all around. Also makes me miss Sydney Pollack :(

Michael Clayton is a whole mood and the final shot is so money. Clooney is fantastic.

We got Dune 2 at least, and the new Scorsese.

MI was good I guess but it didn’t blow me away, not a fan of the whole AI thing.
