Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 186

still no Heat huh

 

Folks, it's a three-hour movie. I'm still writing about movies I watched on Friday!

 

lol duly noted

 

Aaron, you better watch Heat

 

I'm an hour in, but for every comment I get about it, I will delay finishing it

 

only harming yourself

 

finish heat or we riot

 

the longer you wait the more likely the heat....will go cold

i actually almost always watch 2.5-3 hour movies in two to three sittings lol. only recent exception was killers of the flower moon i didnt get up the entire time

 

Commenting to further delay

 

I don't have a problem with long movies, I just have a problem fitting them into my schedule lol. I loved seeing KotFM in theaters for that reason. With Heat, I just gotta find a free two hours (probably before bed) to finish it. But that's the length of another movie on its own and I'm supposed to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 with a friend tonight (her first time)

 

I try to never break up movies I'm seeing for the first time, and generally try to avoid it, but I've been rewatching some movies lately while doing cardio and those I will take a break from after an hour on the elliptical, but usually finish up right after a shower.

 

I don't mind breaking up a film into halves or thirds, especially if it's that long. Just the way life goes sometimes

 

Gonna break you up into halves or thirds if you don’t finish heat.

 

yeah its about time you finish EA's 2019 arcade racer need for speed heat

 

what if it turned out to be the Sandra Bullock movie the whole time

 

Grimace you purple monster you

 

I don't get what that has to do with Aaron not watching heat?

 

Probably gonna watch I Saw the Devil tonight

 

Don't bother getting out the DVD because you're going to see the Devil tonight if you don't finish Heat

 

Just got Heat on DVD

 

meant that for the politics thread oops

 

I now have one hour left in Heat. Coffee scene was good.

 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - 8/10
A film that has only grown on me with time. I still prefer the original -- there are moments where the feature in this (borderline grating lunacy) turns into a bug -- but when it manages to walk that line, which it often does, Hooper really strikes a balance between deranged slapstick horror, surprising commentary, and the viciousness of his original film. I can absolutely understand why some people love this one, some people hate it, and for others (like myself), it needs time to grow on you. It really revels in going off the rails. But it looks undeniably great (lots of neon and Christmas lights), the casting is perfect (from Caroline Williams and an unhinged Dennis Hopper to Bill Moseley's polarizing turn as Chop Top), and the film just oozes Halloween hangout movie vibes. The ending sequence will make your head spin, and I'm hard-pressed to think of anything quite like it. You really can't go wrong with an abandoned amusement park set piece.
