Closer to it than usual for Fincher was my point. It was only a half point deduction so it doesn't exactly affect my love of the film.

fight club / the social network are awesome as well

ARGUE WITH ME.

Bah.

Always just the best shut

Alien: Covenant

i saw this at the pre opening on Thursday with another huge fan of the series and someone who had not even seen Prometheus

i'm a little late on this but have been waiting for someone to talk with about it....thanks DJ :)

so here were my emotions

Before film
Beyond excited

After film
good movie but very underwhelmed (hated the cgi)

after talk with person who had not seen Prometheus (she was completely lost)
Very good film still a little let down (still hated the cgi)

after sleeping on it
i went into this all wrong....it's actually an incredible film and i;m still a little let down due to what the preview portrayed (i still hated the cgi)

i need to see it again going in thinking this is a direct sequel to Prometheus and only the beginning of connecting it to Alien

there is a cgi scene that makes me think Ridley Scott may be suffering for early onset Alzheimer disease and forgot he was an amazing director the day he allowed that shit into his film

I happened to do the same thing. I went with my gf and she didn't see Prometheus. So I was explaining a few things along the way then I just told her to wait til after the movie for a proper explanation from me.

what was the cgi moment? im trying to remember but i cant think of a specfic "omg this is bad animation" moment

Finally got around to watching Spotlight. Man, what a powerful flick. And such great acting by all of the main characters.

Weird, I thought I had seen you mention it before. One of my favourite dialogue driven movies if I'm being honest.

So ever since imdb took out their message boards, I've had a void in my life since I used to always take a look at them to get a good idea of common thoughts on the movie. Does anyone know of any alternatives that have popped up in its place?

Ya, I guess I did see it once before. Some movies make a much bigger second impression on me than the first.

Oh, and Rotten Tomatoes.

I love that discussion, RT just isn't the same :(. It's my review resource though.

I didn't realize they got rid of their boards! That's actually the first internet forum I was ever a part of.

Someone should make a Movie Banter.

x2

use to post troll reviews of critically acclaimed movies all the time

Haha, same. The Godfather was a sure thing when it came to rage induced reactions

love so much

I last watched IMPROPER CHANNELS (1981) on VHS :)

Abouta hit up some Deliverance

I haven't seen it

I need to re-watcg Logan. I started it when I was tired. The opening scene just wanted to show that boom this is Rated R Xmen.

:beer:

Very in love with this director. He can do no wrong and the next Blade Runner looks incredible. I don't know what the fuck this films about, or any of the unanswered questions the film poses, but the same can be said for 2001: A Space Odyssey. So who gives a fuck. It's pretty much an acid trip that almost seems feasible until a certain point. Gyllenhaal was fantastic. Highly recommended.

It is indeed good as **** and Patrick Stewart's best performance in those films easily. And that last fight scene with Logan was definitely the best scene of Wolverine on film.

Denis Villeneuve is my favorite director right now. Both Sicario and Arrival are masterpieces. Will definitely check Enemy out.

Truth
.

Prisoners turned me onto him. This guys potentially Kubrick-worthy of a legacy.

You excited for the new Blade Runner?

Definitely. You ever read the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

It was the inspiration for the first Blade Runner movie, but they deviated quite a bit from the novel to 'Hollywood-ize" the story.

I'm hoping Denis brings some of the missing elements back in.

I think he's a mash up director and an evolution to the art. There will never be another Kubrick, Spielberg, Scorcese, etc. But the new breed are fusing all the best of all of them into a whole new direction.

I'd add Fernando Meirelles to the mix.

Haven't read it yet. I just watched Blade Runner for the first time about 3 days ago. Still fresh in my mind. Unbelievable fucking film. I'll add Chris Nolan.

Definitely!!! Him and his brother have been doing amazing things for years now.

Do me a favor and read the book (its pretty short) before seeing the new movie.

Noah, with Russel Crowe. Man it was bad. Oh for the days when Hollywood did biblical epics like The Ten Commandments or King of Kings.... :(

more ****ing sick movies on ****ing you****asstube

I last saw ONE FLEW OVER THE COOCOOS NEST (1975) on VHS :)

Did you know that it holds a special place in cinema history that only two other films have achieved?

Won the academy award for best actor, best actress, best film, best director, and best screenplay.

Silence of the Lambs and It Happened One Night are the other two.

Just realized that three of my favorite recent movies all have something in common. Looper, The Edge of Tomorrow, and Sicario.

Latest I saw was Angel's Egg. I went into it with lowered expectations due to reviews and wound up getting blown away. Stunningly beautiful visuals and atmosphere. At several points I was completely immersed in a meditative state within the film. I've been putting it on now when I go to sleep, which is something I never thought of doing with any film before. It reminds me of dreaming. I never got the feeling that the story was sparse or lacking, it just gave the interactions and exchanges more weight if anything. I'm still not completely sure how to interpret the whole thing and I don't think I'll ever come to any conclusions, but that's just another plus for me. Glad I put off watching it for so long so I could soak it in at a time when I'd appreciate this kind of film more, but now I'm sad. I need more like this.

Which is?

I just watched FIRST BLOOD (1982) on VHS :)

I like how Repulsion goes from 0 to 100 real quick

Definitely Aronofsky's worst movie but at least he was trying to do something a little different. It's always weird when Hollywood decides to enlist oddball indie-type directors to make blockbusters. Just like David Lynch with Dune.

what do you think about my new film ratings

I didn't mind it, I actually thought it was pretty good and Aronofsky seems like a brilliant director to tackle a story like that. No where near The Wrestler or Black Swan but decent nonetheless.
