I Walked Out on Furiosa. A character was being crucified and their guts taken out one by one. I realized it was going to be 2.5 hours of everything good being destroyed and ruins until Revenge/Justice. I found it completely unpleasant to experience. I was surprised I had the will to just get up and leave. Good on me.
No Refunds by the way.
I thought that scene was interesting in how he just stands in front of them, thereâs no movement, you dont see a drop of blood. I think itâs really admirable (as a lover of violence) that he made a point of not showing any extreme violence
Actually itâs about finding purpose in an absurd world but youâre right that a lot of it is propelled by a desire for revenge.
After putting it off for 20+ years I finally watched Election. ItâsâŚdelightfully unhinged. Also feel like maybe Iâve sold Chris Klein short (granted, man has not had the best roles since this debut), because the bit where he reads his speech, hunched over and at a constant pace in complete monotone, is so goddamn funny.
Didnât exactly watch them back to back but I watched Rebel Moon Pt 1 and Pt 2.
Not really much there worth talking about, tbh. Pt. 2 had a few nice/nasty (in a good way) combat sequences towards the end. Thatâs about it.
When will they stop allowing Synder to waste everyones time?
At least itâs only Netflix, theyâll give money to literally anybody
im 100% for any director bilking these dumb streamers to make really expensive movies.
itâs better when theyâre good of course (love that killers of the flower moon cost $200 million for some reason), but even if they suck itâs still very funny
Apple and Amazon strike me as better than Netflix because they actually go out of their ways to give movies theatrical releases (not you Road House)
yes, I have been paid money to show Apple and Amazon content, why do you ask
Somewhere in 'em Snyder has a pretty good movie or two, but I doubt itâll ever be realized
I liked Furiosa much more than Fury Road, which for me was pleasant but mostly forgettable. Pleasantly surprised 2 find that Hemsworth is actually good at the action/comedy bit once he figures out how 2 show up in a good movie. Circular as this observation may be, absolutely a video game movie.
TV Glow was good as well I liked that it was trashier than worldâs fair + a lil contradictory in the whole thing being undergirded by loving emulation of 90s tv form while being critical of singleminded fixation on an external object.
Overall both fun-in-theater examples of commercial cinema finding relevance via parasitical attachment 2 more modern forms that r indebted to it. Respect.
Guardians of Gaâhool was great
this is funny to me because I didnât realize he was some big marvel dude til recently hes just the guy who did amazing in blackhat
About 11 years ago I was forced 2 watch Thor as a senior in high school mythology class , thankfully, after going to community college & transferring to a UC, I was forced 2 watch The Help, And the chipotle ad with the sad scarecrow
Just got back from Furiosa. Itâs not the revelation that Fury Road was, but I still thought it was very good. It felt in some ways meaner than Fury Road, not to mention requiring more suspension of disbelief. Or maybe its pacing wasnât quite as incessantly gripping so it was easier to notice implausible details.
Probably the best scene is where Furiosa first proves her worth to Jack (and I liked how they gave him the look and some of the mannerisms of Furiosa in Fury Road).
If you Hemsworth appreciators havenât seen Extraction on Netflix you should, itâs a dtv action movie about an Operator who Hates Himself and has Nothing Left to Lose until he finds a Surrogate Kid and now has a Reason to Die, itâs got pretty fun action scenes
I like both those movies but they go too far with the one take scenes. at first youâre like thatâs neat but then it just keeps going and going on so you start looking for the seams. why not just do several extra long takes together. it doesnât hurt to get another angle in. why does it gotta be one giant videogame cutscene
Because itâs directed by a stunt coordinator, these are the things they think are cool
If handsome chad stahelski can exercise self-restraint and control in the scene with the exploding shotgun in wick 4 I think anyone else can
A Taxi Driver â wears its heart on its sleave, and tells a compelling buddy story of a taxi driver becoming entangled with a ride hailing reporter in 1980ies ROK during social unrests.
Got me sappy twice, 
for that.
