Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 241

Are you trying to reveal my assassination coordinates?!

 

yes

 

I mean no

 

It was coming back to the US from New Zealand. Which in hindsight seems like a better place to be right but now.

 

how did you like it there?

 

It was pretty fantastic. Spent about a month there in a campervan. The west coast and Fiordland National Park are two of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. We spent most of our time on the South Island but the North Island was pretty unbelievable too. Im also obsessed with Kiwi birds now. My only regret is that one month didn’t seem long enough.

 

very nice

glad you enjoyed

 

Thanks, have you been there?

 

nah. was just curious because I’ve heard good things

 

Gotcha. Well I’d recommend it. It’s been on my bucket list ever since The Fellowship of the Ring came out. Tons to explore. Very friendly people too.

 

Off to see Dark Knight in IMAX today in exchange for them coming to Seed of the Sacred Fig at the art house next week.

 

Damn. Two incredible movies. Lucky you.

 

Enjoyed Dark Knight for what it was. Batman is always a billionaire punching poor people and this one has more bad surveillance stuff. Health was electric and Nolan can do action. the bang scenes bang. My luxury IMAX recliner seat was paid for on points and provided a much improved experience over my Mr Bones wild ride seat at Nosferatu.

5mins of ads! We were a little late and assumed we were still going to get blasted for 25 gigantic minutes. Came in to clowns running up the bank as we ran up our seats.

Cool to see the homage to Kubrick's The Killing after seeing last year.
The start was weirdly anti Chinese. "If you wanted to kill me you should have bought American instead of Chinese", the Chinese business is immediately shown to be corrupt, the Chinese government would "never prosecute one of their own" and the entire hk police force is bought off.

 

Saw Vagabond for the first time on the big screen last night and man what a deeply empathetic movie while never sanding down the rough edges. It’d make a hell of a pairing with Into the Wild

 

Saw Novocaine. It was fine. Nothing to write home about but there are definitely worse ways to spend your time. No chemistry between the romantic leads, but otherwise all the acting was pretty good and independently the actors do well.

 

The Electric State - 1/10 Genuinely one of the worst "movies" I've ever seen, I hate the term slop but man, if the show doesn't fit on this one.

Ready Player One was not a film I respected much but this one really shows how awful it could have been.

 

I have a bunch of new ones I could post but I don't know how annoyed people get with the long posts in here lol

 

do it for me

ignore them

 

i watched 2 movies yesterday

before the devil knows you're dead (2007) - phenomenal performances all around including ethan hawke as the dumbest guy alive and the always incredibly phillip seymour hoffman . just the worst week of these people's lives

the conversation (1974) - very very good kinda paranoia thriller, crazy that something like this came out 50 years ago now (and was written before Watergate I guess?) Gene Hackman rules, RIP, he looked 47 years old for 40 years

 

Anora (2024) - 5/10

Went into this with high expectations based on the awards and hearing how great it was. It was alright but I don't ever see myself thinking or talking about it after today.

 

If that's a 5 what's a 6?

 

What didn’t you like about it

 

the fuck

 

Its okay to have opinions
