Films in 2017 that you don't want to see and why

Yeah, it's a pretty shit tendency. Works ok for the apes one though to be fair.

jesus, I think that A Mans Life novel is written by the spiderman actor's smug prick of a dad I was talking about upthread!

‘A top notch stand-up who everyone should see’ The Daily Telegraph

people who are shit in multiple fields

i don't wanna see any of the usual guff this year because just stop already but on the other hand if that's your bag knock yourself out, i'm getting pretty good at ignoring stuff unless i have to talk to a fanchild

I feel glad I gave Dunkirk six stars now.

lol! I can never tell if you are joking or not about your Nolan love.

I thoroughly agreed with your appraisal of Son Of Saul (which wasn't universally loved), fwiw Fred. But completely disagree with you here. But I'm sure you won't lose any sleep!

Ha, did you see I compared the two films?

no, my Danish is non-existent, just remembered your thread.

Praying for Danish film crit rn

If I put Fred's review through google translator I wonder if I'll get more sense than I do out of Fred's posts on here.

That fucking morrissey film.

Oh yeah "and why": because it looks like the most unappealing thing imaginable. There are hundreds of ppl involved in getting something to the screen and, to indulge my inner imago/calzino for a sec, in this case each one is a terrible cunt who should fucking die in penury :-D

I think Jerry Lee Lewis was otm when he said the musical biopic made about him should have been titled "Great Balls of Shit". It is hard enough to like any musical biopics, even if you like the artist. In recent memory, Born To be Blue wasn't entirely terrible, but not exactly breaking the mould either. But this monstrosity should have been throttled at birth, and fuck the wretched movie as well!

wins otm x 1000,000,000,000

All the shit biopics that come out and no-one's had the balls to make The GG Allin Story. Now that I'd see.

Give James Franco a few more years

And that's the one they can actually call Great Balls of Shit.

lol!

The Ready Player One trailer just went up. Everything I hate about nostalgia, nerds and pop culture wrapped up in a handy package.

not looking good at all, had to check it wasn't a Michael Bay joint.

here's a podcast episode that shits great balls on the book: http://www.idontevenownatelevision.com/2014/06/19/010-ready-player-one-w-mike-sacco/

The only films I have to actively avoid are Iron Man and Die Hard films because they're on tv everyday and some family members somehow don't tire of them.

I don't know anything about the actual story behind this guy's life, so for all I know the material is there for a really interesting treatment of an important and impressive life, but this looks like the biggest pile of Oscar-bait bullshit ever. Also, "Directed by Andy Serkis."

finally a British movie about posh twats

Exploitative shite that Will be loved by people who actually support throwing disabled/terminally ill people onto the streets.

and it has fucking Tom Holland in it, playing twins.

Okja was quite disappointing. It starts off cute, then turns into a "LET ME HAMMER VEGANISM UPON YE LIKE SO MANY MORRISEYS".

(sorry thats not a thread answer, its just someone mentioned BJH upthread)

An Eli Roth remake of Death Wish, starring Bruce Willis, and set in Chicago.

UGH.

Death Wish is sort of funny as a relic, not so much as NRA fantasy in 2017.

Stumbled across Newness while looking at forthcoming projects of my go-to guy for films I don't want to see: Ridley Scott:

I don't want to see it because it's directed by this guy:

and it's called Newness

and the IMDb synopsis reads:

In contemporary Los Angeles, two millennials navigating a social media-driven hookup culture begin a relationship that pushes both emotional and physical boundaries.

Roth seems to have a very alt right bee in his bonnet

Just what our culture needs, a movie that shows that what Chicago really needs is a white savior to shoot black people. Can't see what could possibly go wrong!!

(btw is that Elizabeth Shue playing Willis's wife?!)

best part of the Death Wish movies is when a kindly old black lady thnx Charles Bronson for coming into her neighborhood & blowing ppl away

Has anyone seen he trailer for the Jumanji 2017 reboot? It looks like a film my 9 year old would actually really like, but I may have to drop him off at the theater all alone.

You know how you thought that the only thing missing from Oliver Stone's 9/11 movie was Charlie Sheen? Well...

another soderbergh heist movie. he's got, what, 3 good movies out of 25 made?

Okja was quite disappointing. It starts off cute, then turns into a "LET ME HAMMER VEGANISM UPON YE LIKE SO MANY MORRISEYS".

I have little patience for preachy veganism, but I found it was negligible here. Flying shit and Tilda Swinton playing the Trumps compensated.

(the heroine and her grandpa eat chicken & fish btw)
