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

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...

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)
