Is anyone here going to see that Warfare movie

My friend who I see most movies with seems to think Alex Garland is a brilliant visionary filmmaker and wants to go, but Civil War looked like ‘what if a twitter culture war was made real’ and this one just looks like military jingoist propaganda but with a ‘just the raw facts’ plausible deniablility filter over it

I love Alex Garland and Civil War, and will regrettably see whatever he makes. I think CW is pretty misunderstood, but don’t fault people for reacting the way they did to it or even just not liking it.

old mate loves to talk about how he’s a hard-boiled egg and the most vulnerable he got in that regard (Men) was so widely shat on that he was like “ok fuck it warmovis forever i guess”

to be clear we’ve not watched Men nor Civil War

The first hour and a half was. The second half had an encoding issue so was in 2d.

Seen Transformers: One was on Prime so I finally watched it and it was… pretty good? I was, indeed, entertained.

I have a friend who loves watching bad movies ironically. He invited me to a 4D screening of the Minecraft movie followed by dinner at Outback Steakhouse.

I went in wondering what they meant by 4D… They meant that, in sync with the action on the screen, your chair jerks around and puffs stale air at the back and top of your head, and also your ankles.

This was really funny in the excruciatingly slow first 3rd of the movie where everyone’s just bumming around the real world doing nothing of consequence. Whoever programmed the 4D stuff was so desperate to use it that they took any opportunity, no matter how much of a stretch.

Like, you’ve got this very slow, quiet scene in a classroom, just droning on, and then this boy lightly sets his notebook down on his desk and your entire seat careens with the impact. Someone drives a car totally normally, but your seat is humming and bumping like it’s the Indy 500. Then they park and open the door and you get blasted in the face with air. I want to see like a Todd Solondz movie or something in 4D.

FOLKS… This movie sucked. Just the most cookie cutter pablum, but you already knew that. I liked how they spent the entire movie just savagely killing pig men in hand to hand combat, but then at the end Jack Black made this whole entire show of sparing their leader. I guess a character gets enough lines and they pass some moral threshold where you can’t brutally beat them to death on screen. I also liked how the little gen alpha ragamuffin protagonists kept telling Jack Black that he needed to come with them to “The Real World.” That’s gotta be so condescending for a man who’s been living in Minecraft for decades.

I was hoping the audience would lose it for the chicken jockey or whatever, but the audience was so dead silent throughout that I turned out to be the most disruptive viewer just by whispering to my friend “here it comes”.

The less said about Outback Steakhouse the better, but at one point we ordered a round of 5 “Mock Croc” mocktails for the table, and the waiter started laughing with us, so that was nice. They were supposed to come with plastic toy crocodiles but you need to know that those were fucking plastic ALLIGATORS, I am a Florida native, who are they trying to fool. Those absolute cads. Why don’t we have any actual Australian restaurants in the US? What do Australians eat at restaurants anyways? Burger Rings?*

*Just kidding just kidding sorry Eska!! I’m sure Australian food is at least OK

This is a thing that annoys me so much in mediocre AAA rpgs

you can murder all the goons with impunity but then you have a choices and consequences cutscene with the goon chief where you can decide to spare him for some good boy points or kill him anyway for some racist boy points

watched The Angel (1982) a few nights ago. That shaky cam bit with the fencer is the most insane pixilation I’ve seen since those shots in Cutie Honey 2004

i watched eyimofe the other day, which was good, though since then i’ve wondered about the canon of movies that are made up of separate stories and at some point you see the characters pass by each other or something, usually without any obvious impact. seems like if you listed the movies that do this you’d have a pretty long list. i guess in general i think there’s something a little corny about it, but there are obvious exceptions

i also watched the chalamet bob dylan movie on a plane. been thinking about the powerful world building of two characters getting into a car and adjusting the radio so that we hear “–static static static-- tensions build in vietnam as-- static static static–” very potent stuff. that said it is fun when i get to watch a movie that feels like a coen brothers movie from a decade ago saw into the future to ridicule it explicitly

also watching common side effects, which i like a lot, though ultimately i have to be crying wesley snipes pointing my gun at it because it has the “you got this” brain virus (which is when a character says “you got this” in it). actually it was also a top ten anime betrayal when they stooped down to pick up some word pluralization comedy now that i think about it. but whatever it’s still good. wrong thread i guess
