ITT Deems and Tombot agree on a movie

I did consider this

Right I'll throw out some faves

But rly our contentious bones seem to focus on superhero/comic book adaptations post... blade? That might be an interesting seam to mine

Have not seen Michael Clayton. Considered it this evening tbh....seems a bit likely to be serious, worthy, desky

Thought syriana was good fwiw

My top ten includes, right now, once upon a time in the west, miller's crossing, it happened one night and maltese falcon. Surely a few there to get a bedrock in place?

Seems a low bar tho

Feel rather that I should attack yr defence of hellboy and see how it holds up and you can similarly test my opinion that Watchmen is somewhat of a genre pinnacle and we'll really start seeing the shape of things

OUATITW is a good baseline. you should check out Godless if you Netflix.

I do and will

Kung Fu hustle all reasonable ppl agree is close to the new millenniums best mix of action, comedy, pathos....but will you acknowledge that the good, the bad, the weird is a worthy effort in the same vein

Rename thread to deems and tombot rather genially offer movies

I’ll ask a mod

If Rian Johnson could trade one of his upcoming Star Wars universe movies to Stephen Chow I’d pay quadruple for tickets to watch it in a broom closet with five other people on a laptop

Hmm I'd rather have him helm an Indiana Jones, think his kinetic eye would be wasted in space perhaps

Actually what's he done since Kung Fu hustle that i should be grabbing?

Feel free to chime in, other posters

journey to the west was good if a little overloaded on the CGI front, still funny tho

Cheers, on the list

I'm bummed enough that Johnson's throwing away his best years on four Star Wars, don't wish IP servicing on Chow too

his best years

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/324/172/db7.gif

I can't see him coming out the other side with four Blue Velvets in a row

johnson’s best work are his episodes of breaking bad tbh

Herself informs me that godless is about feminism and she raised an eyebrow and one side of her mouth as if to say

Now look TB u wouldn't be trying to woolly ole dmacs eyes would you not in a detente thread like this

Watchmen is somewhat of a genre pinnacle

He has his work

And I mine

I agree with deems re:watchmen

*nods*

godless is about Jeff Daniels being evil

....w/out having Aaron Sorkin make him so

superhero movies are fun

my faves are batman 1989, batman begins, dark knight, capt america, thor 1 was decent

is sin city a superhero movie? or just a movie based on a comic i guess, id throw that one in there

kinda got bored of watchmen, fell asleep at one point iirc

one of the xmen movies shld be in there, cant remember which one bc most of them are so bad its embarrassing

i think thats abt it

also i remember liking the crow when it came out

never watched it again after so im wondering how id feel abt it now

darraghmac, do you rate any of the Cornetto trilogy?

Diminishing returns as a set

But Shaun is great

And taken on its own hot fuzz is better than good tbf

thats the english zombie comedy one right?

have u both seen early John Boyega appearance and Cornetto-adjacent alien invasion romp Attack the Block?

That was good yeah

Not as good as ilx said but the bits that were good were excellent.

Boyega a star in it already for sure

I did not think this thread would culminate in Wonder Woman but that just shows the limits of my imagination

watchmen is good not bad in the sense that it transmits well the badness of the bad comicstrip it bring to life

the hobbit 1-3: also good (not in this^^^ sense tho)

challops_siren.gif

armond is a tiny baby

Won't ever see the Hobbit not even if Tolkien himself visited me three times on Christmas night entreating me to do so

Mark s is a good guy and not alone on ilx in being that but also as far as I can tell utterly untrustworthy in his opinions.

But the world is the better for good ppl we disagree with it makes for better pub talk

the hobbit films are a goddamn mess

Well I mean how could they not be

What abt transformers?

that's three you agree on right there

by being wrong

Thread is a non judgemental one fyi

no judgment: i was merely helpfully pointing out convergence and mechanism

is sin city a superhero movie? or just a movie based on a comic i guess, id throw that one in there

My Friend Dahmer is a great superhero movie

Sin city a superhero movie imo because characters have superhuman powers

Uh I can't speak for the other

Theres no justice w/o sin i blv

THE SIEGE OF JADOTVILLE

I hear good things.

That's the doc and not the dramatisation?

Negotiated and agreed with herself for an 11.30 am Sunday viewing so will be back with disagreement or otherwise in record time.

It was good!

Hi was criticising mark strongs accent- usually a strong point of his- then I remembered cc obrien

NB no documentary exists perhaps it was a podcast or interview I'd heard about. There is a book.

Noms:

Any Given Sunday
Batman Returns
Fifth Element
The Rocketeer
30 Days of Night
Mystery Men

Love
Love
Like but it's been years
Not seen!
Loved and unashamed of it
Didn't give a chance tbh

itt soda and me agree about movies

the rocketeer is rad fuiud

idndijhwi

uswiasap imo

gg, kiu

Talk about rebooting the premise

Did you dislike shape of water or am I misremembering

haven't seen it yet

never stopped Morbs from shitting on a film before iirc

did you see Black Panther yet

Not allowed til herself is back in country but i anticipate great things

Shape of water I'm curious to find out your take on because we famously diverge on the hellboys

so I'm going to watch shape of water and you're going to watch battleship and somewhere in between we'll find the truth

seems logical

wow

putting a 72 hour delay on my ESTA application seems pretty petty just cos u like crappy movies u fuck

Did you watch Battleship?

Are you now watching, or have you ever watched, battleship

careful dmac, your ability to enter the united states of america may hinge upon your answer

(battleship is a very enjoyable, very bad movie btw)

ive not yet. and my clearance came in thanks

battleship, lets talk about why this worked

peter berg’s repellent jingoism and troop-worship works a lot better with a ludicrous science fiction backdrop than ‘gritty’ ‘realism’

now do the hobbit

peter jackson’s repellent jingoism and troop-worship works a lot better with a ludicrous science fiction backdrop than ‘gritty’ ‘realism’

correct

what do i win

a quick look at some hairy plush hobbit feet

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/msQAAOSwlRZZ1irL/s-l300.jpg

hawt

i was absolutely horrified to find myself touched when the stan lee brigade showed up to kick ass i think i had let my guard down by then

listen now

when they play battleship and the fella says "when we fire theyll know where we are ok" and everyone looks wise like egyptian cats for a second right

was that not the time to come up with the notion of firing and *moving*

like

idk

the fact that yerman personally burnt three ships before it struck him to avoid the enemy missiles AND THAT WAS THEIR BIG FINISHING MOVE tickled me

also the rolling chainsaws that tear apart motorways but get stuck when rihanna closes a door on them, that was good

there was more but i cant oh yes the guy beating the alien up yerman with the metal legs that did not strike me as remotely plausible

also why would the aliens not just come back again that plot subtlety evaded me but dont get me wrong this was a fine example of what it was whatever it was

it was a movie based on a board game starring tim riggins, rihanna and darkman iirc

watched any given sunday again the last night and this time around it seemed a lot more comprehensible but this was a bad thing

so he got game is now officially the best sports movie

LT v clearly the least compromised, wisest and "best" voice for foxx to listen to this time around was a change from other viewings

this probably a better thread actually

ive only seen the youtube edit "fight scenes from the equalizer" but i feel v sure that the movie "the equalizer" is the greatest movie ever made

can anyone confirm/deny this pls
