Just watched Dope -- fun flick. Some of it was a little on the nose but overall didn't take itself too seriously.

Yeah, I liked Dope. I also liked Pee-Wee.

The whole time I was watching Dope, I was thinking "jeez, this girl reeeeeally reminds me of Lisa Bonet!" and then I saw in the credits that it's Zoë Kravitz. lol
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 19 March 2016 02:57 (eight years ago) link
lol I had the exact same thought and did not see the credits. In fact I thought "Man, kinda cliche to go for the Lisa Bonet type in this role"

Dope was really good!

Also noticed that that Tessa Thompson in Creed was styled and played kind of similarly.

Yeah, Dope was great.

Pee Wee movie was fine but it might have helped if i had known who that dude Pee Wee was in love with was. That tree house scene was super-romantic!

you would have to pay me fifty dollars to watch this movie.

I assume Joe Manerinean was Channing Tatum is an early draft.

i still watch pee wee's big adventure/playhouse/hbo special all the time and find them joyous and inspiring and i was really bummed out by the new pee wee movie..it felt so uninspired, and it looked cheap and ugly, like watching a bunch of webisodes. paul reubens has lost the chops to sell the weaker jokes like he used to, and he can't really do the voice anymore. it felt like nostalgia of the life-denying type to me and i felt drained and unhappy after i watched it.

Thanks for the minority report.

i warned my 7-y-o: 'he's a lot older now..' - movie comes on, my son says 'he looks exactly the same daddy'
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 March 2016 10:00 (eight years ago) link
Haven't watched the Pee-Wee movie yet, but slam dunk's reaction sounds like my reaction to the new(er) Muppet movie. I still engage with the classic stuff regularly so the new version felt like a hollow simulacrum.
(I did watch the SNL episode hosted by Pee-Wee this weekend, though, which is classic and highly recommended. The only episode I can think of hosted by a character who stayed in character for every sketch.)
― Horse Throat (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 March 2016 12:28 (eight years ago) link
it felt totally 80s, same sweet vibe, same corny jokes
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 March 2016 13:10 (eight years ago) link
i went in expecting to have slam dunk's reaction but idk it's a blast. it misses the scale of big adventure but nails everything else. I thought I'd be bothered by the voice too but nope
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Monday, 21 March 2016 13:24 (eight years ago) link
I'll have to watch the SNL episode and maybe the movie. Paul Reubens is great, imo. He's been showing up in a handful of tv shows lately!
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 21 March 2016 15:21 (eight years ago) link
I had a more muted version of slam dunk's reaction. Reubens' spirit is willing, but his voice and general energy level just aren't there.

yeah, it didn't feel manic like big adventure, it just felt rushed. kind of empty? still fun to watch. his change in voice didn't really bother me, I always loved the way his face reacts to things way more expressively than anything he says, and he still nails that.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 21 March 2016 15:52 (eight years ago) link
The Pee-Wee SNL episode is from '85, btw, in case that wasn't clear.
― Horse Throat (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 March 2016 16:08 (eight years ago) link
i loved the balloon thing with the Amish just cuz it reminded me the most of old pee wee. something annoying/funny that goes on longer than you think it will.
― scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 17:04 (eight years ago) link
omg i loved that part
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Monday, 21 March 2016 17:06 (eight years ago) link

I might be too chicken to watch Wetlands.
― Horse Throat (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 March 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
it sounds so punk rock i kinda have to watch it. but we shall see...
― scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 18:07 (eight years ago) link
upstream color is very intense, make sure you watch it with the sound up, especially bass
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 21 March 2016 18:55 (eight years ago) link
A few of those there's no way I'll ever watch, but the ones on there I've seen I've loved, save "Big Bad Wolves." Particularly "Upstream Color" (which is indeed very intense, in an honest sort of way) and "Holy Motors" (which alternates between batshit and profound). Been saving "Blue Ruin" for a rainy day, since I know I'll love it.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 21 March 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link
watched the first episode of that Flaked Will Arnett thing and ... it was pretty bad.
― tylerw, Monday, 21 March 2016 19:08 (eight years ago) link
from scotts list - i love the queen of versailles (fun movie, a bit of social commentary and sly comedy), snowpiercer (ridiculous premise but it works! i found it oddly touching which i wasnt expecting tbh) and fish tank (ye olde brit-grit, i love that shit anyway)
― i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Monday, 21 March 2016 19:21 (eight years ago) link
oh 'gomorrah' is good too. i had to turn off 'tiny furniture' cos it was too annoying and i generally like 'girls'
― i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Monday, 21 March 2016 19:22 (eight years ago) link
Everybody seems to have hated snowpiercer but I thought it was pretty good.
Fish tank is excellent but it's very hard to watch.
― just1n3, Monday, 21 March 2016 19:58 (eight years ago) link
big bad wolves outstays its welcome but it's ok. not great.
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 21 March 2016 20:06 (eight years ago) link
Snowpiercer is a turd.

This reminds me, has anybody seen the documentary Wolfpack? Maybe the single most wtf thing I've seen on Netflix in the past year.
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:03 (eight years ago) link
Holy Motors, maybe not with the kids...probably goes w/o saying but pairs very well with a local smokable Movie Help. I've kept it in my queue to go back in and re-watch a scene or two. I also liked the Carax documentary.
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:08 (eight years ago) link
Helper
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:09 (eight years ago) link
i watched wolfpack movie. someone told me it's a big movie with teens/teen girls. cuz those guys are kindly oddly vampirish.
― scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:28 (eight years ago) link
For most of it I had a hard time telling them apart...my only disappointment was not seeing/hearing more of their music, seems like it wld be interesting.
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:44 (eight years ago) link
current arty/intl movies in my queue that i've put off watching because i can watch dr. who or some marvel shit while playing with my phone

r. butt, go directly to A Separation, do not pass Go. One of the best films of the past quarter century.

And I would advise skipping Mr. Turner, kinda stupid I thought.
