i really dug this the other day. only issues are that it’s quite needle drop-heavy, and a bunch allusions to the fact that, yes, it’s the 80s. still, it moves so breezily that it’s easy to look past all that. viola steals the movie late in the game

 

This was a blast. It does lean hard on "it's the '80s signifiers" but it fit the tone just fine I thought. This really felt like a movie from a different era in a great way.

 

Yeah, this was a lot of fun. It does lean pretty heavy on the propaganda and needle drop. But very entertaining nonetheless.

 

agree with what everyone else said

liked the Argo nod with the "David Falk You" line

 

delightful film. the boys know what they're doing

 

This was really fun.

 

gonna catch this on sunday! wasn't hot on the trailer but everyone seems to be reacting positively to the movie

 

Seeing this today.

 

This was … ok? Some very awkward dialogue, cinematography, and editing. Also, based on the ending note, I get why they did it I guess, but the way they filmed the Marlon/Matt scene was awful.

 

I enjoyed it but all I could think of is how Ben Afleck making a movie about a compulsive gambler seemed irresponsible haha

 

To be fair, it’s accurate. Sonny even got asked about it recently.

 

I can see that it fits with the fact that he's a high risk high reward guy

 

This was fun enough. What decade did it take place in though? Couldn’t tell.

 

::needle drops every 80s track at once::

 

it has to be the record for most needle drops right?

 

Nothing can beat the first 20 minutes of “Suicide Squad.”
