Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 3)

For those looking out for Oscar nominees, both The Secret Agent and It Was Just an Accident will be added to Hulu on Sunday.

Sentimental Value also confirmed on Hulu, but not until the week after the Oscars. Annoying.

After watching this, pretty sure the delay in release was to do a ground up rewrite to have Karl Urban be the main character and to kill off Cole. If so, 100% the right move. Theres like 2 clips of Cole in the trailer and one looks like he is dying.

LMAO

I think it was legitimately to capitalize on the release. They think they’ve got a monster.

But completely agreed about Cole. Baffling decision to make a movie about dozens of iconic characters and instead make the protagonist a brand new character no one will ever care about.

What happened to Micheal Moore? Dude disappeared.

He’s 71 years old, I think he just retired.

Minor rant, but this musical chairs with movies and streaming services can make it hard to watch what you want the way you want it.

I watched Inglorious Basterds tonight. I started watching it as a rental on Prime, but it had closed captions on (in addition to the yellow subtitles that were part of the movie) with no way to turn them off. This was a dealbreaker for me given the amount of subtitles already in the movie and how bad it looks to had two sets of subtitles fighting for space.

So I started a free trial of AMC+ which didn’t have the subtitle problem, but fucked up the aspect ratio by somehow making what should be a 2.4:1 image fill up my 16:9 screen, with no options to make it display properly.

Just re-upping this thread in case it routes more participation there.

I was given to understand that the thread seemed convoluted/confusing to some, so I streamlined the OP in hopes of clarifying. We just started working on a new decade today.

The fast way is:

Name YOUR 20 FAVORITE movies of the 2010s and rank them personally from 1-20. Points will be awarded, blah blah blah, etc. and so forth.

If anyone is somehow still confused by my streamlined OP, I’m okay with just throwing up my hands and taking the L.

It was never confusing

If I can follow the new OP, so can my pet hamster.

What if you pick a movie from the wrong decade?

Then your ballot will be rejected.

I assume this is serious enough to warrant voter ID? We can’t just assume every poster is legitimate. Even a reg may be fooling us.

Saw the trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic and they didn’t mention his pedo once, I wonder if that is in the directors cut?

Miles Teller in that ridiculous wig plays his lawyer I think, so I imagine that’s part of the movie.

Which in itself probably means they shouldn’t have made the movie… I’m not a screen writer, but if your lead character is a pedo, maybe don’t write a movie about him? It just seems to capture the Epstein situation in a nutshell.

Can’t avoid those Epstein files if MJ goes to number 1 again
