I have fallen out of seeing movies in the past like 6 years. I barely see anything now. Quite a shame. The last movie I rated on Letterboxed was 2017

 

I never saw 2017, is it good?

 

Better than 2012 not as good as 1917, lightyears better than 10,000 BC

 

If she’s a Nicole Byer and/or Lauren Lapkus fan at all, try watching them along with the Newcomers podcast. Very funny (assuming you don’t mind people really disliking both franchises) and I’ve heard it’s been a fun way to discover both

 

you also need to rewatch the color of money

 

If you met Scorsese is that the movie you would want to talk to him about?

 

The Color of Money has been on my watch list for a long time.

 

Obviously that's Shark Tale

 

100%

 

who wouldn't want to talk to scorsese about newman and cruise

 

I would ask his thoughts on Iron Man

 

I wanted to watch a good Robert Downey Jr movie from the 2000s that wasn’t Kiss Kiss Bang Bang the other day…evidently those don’t really exist, so I watched Iron Man.

It’s aight, kinda whatever but it feels like a comic book in a good way

The Singing Detective is up today…maybe this is the Downey Jr deep cut i desire

 

No Zodiac?

 

Oh yeah, that one’s good. But i didnt wanna look at that facial hair for 2 hours. I oughta, it’s been a while

Wonder Boys deserves a shout out too

RDJ is an amazing movie star, which probably means he’s great actor, but he’s not a dexterous talent, so much as an irrisistably charismatic personality

 

Not from the 2000's but my favorite pre-Iron Man RDJ movie is probably Less Than Zero. Not as good as the book, but still a good flick. I would argue perhaps a better Ellis adaptation than American Psycho.

 

It’s a good one but I think American Psycho and Rules of Attraction are both better

 

I was somewhat entertained by Genysis and Dark Fate but yeah, you nailed it. The stuff they did with the Terminator’s growth and John Connor just shouldn’t have been messed with.

3 isn’t too good but works as a nice Coda I suppose. Salvation’s story was kinda lame but I was excited for a trilogy about the war and Bale as John Connor, so was bummed when it got scrapped. They coulda brought Arnold back too

 

the story I want in 3 is the one that starts at the very end

 

The ending was really the only good thing about 3.

 

LOTR imo is easier to do, just stick to the theatrical cuts and you’ll be fine

 

Don't trust my high school self to not be tricked by twists and effects but I liked A Scanner Darkly

 

The Criterion Collection would be a lot cooler if they put out a release of Freddy Got Fingered

 

i want to watch this one, but the rotoscope is a big hurdle

it’s cool its just never what im in the mood for

 

if it helps RDJ basically plays Dale from King of the Hill

 

I forgot a big one. I have never seen any Mission Impossible movie.
