I guess spoilers for the two people who haven't seen Endgame: **** your children. Thor was always just kind of a guy with pretty hair and a neat hammer and bad movies. Thor's third movie made him into a joke but at least it was a totally fun movie, and his part in Endgame was dumb as **** but drunk ****** Thor was way more entertaining than he's been in 95% of the Marvel movies. Punch your kids in the head and laugh at Thor with a beer gut threatening children on Fortnite with actual violence.

Fat Thor is best Thor and I say that as someone who is highly into modern Thor comics and has been highly into comic book movies since the first X-Men movie. Your
"older" kids are faggots tbh.

I'll kick my kids in the chest down a stairwell.

Getting paid to watch films all week at work, so today it's

EDIT: I don't know. I'm not sure my spirit is up to watching films like this. I'm just so sad in my heart right now.

"Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

^ that was a great one

7/10 for me. Solid, but not breaking any new ground for me. Certainly not as deep as it's trying to be.

I just watched ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ (1979) on VHS :)

CASSETTE : A DOCUMENTARY MIXTAPE (Henry Rollins, Mike Watt, Ian MacKaye)

For me, the master is a good film because it's characters are very interesting.

In terms of script and composition, not a fan at all.

The idea of John Woo is amazing and I think I'm finally gonna go check him out, starting with A Better Tomorrow. And yeah I've seen Face/Off obviously but that is not what I think of when I picture the basic concept of a John Woo movie.

Ended up watching Hard Boiled instead and holy ****! Everything that wasn't an action scene was either standard cop movie fair or completely retarded but the two leads were strong enough to carry that stuff for the most part. But those action scenes... damn. Like a third of the movie is just non-stop shooting up a hospital with far more explosions and fire than made any sense. I guess that's where The Raid came from.

I don't even know what I'd rate the movie cause whatever damage the "plot" did to my enjoyment of the movie was completely undone by the time the climax finally emptied Hong Kong of bullets.

A Better Tomorrow was highly decent but without enough carnage. I think I'm falling in love with Chow Yun-Fat though. The Killer is kicking my ass atm. Easily the best of these three movies as an entire movie and that long Mexican stand off where Chow and a detective have tea with a blind woman while trying their best not to let her know they're pointing guns at each other is one of the most gloriously ludicrous things I've ever seen.

And I STILL can not deal with how bombass the hospital shootout from Hard Boiled was.

You know after my last post in the Your Day thread about the guy who snitched on the other guy at work and I think the other guy is hella cool but we're only work friends and I don't know how much loyalty that buys him from me but I feel like it buys him more than is justified by making burgers together, and then I'm watching all these John Woo movies and one of the core themes behind ALL of them is brotherhood and loyalty. But these movies are dumb. They're brilliant in certain ways but really dumb in other ways, and the brotherhood theme is also dumb.

Like, gangsters act like they're blood brothers for no reason other than that it's satisfying for them to be so close and loyal. Cops and gangsters end up finding themselves on the same side but the common ground between them ends up being as meaningful as actual blood relations because it's just satisfying for twisted relations to mean something I guess when they're shooting a hundred people. It's really dumb, but atm it feels kinda beautiful and amazing.

As I said, there's the one guy at work who I don't trust who acted like a scumbag at the expense of this other guy who I'm cool with at work, and all we're really cool about is that I think he's cool and he thinks I'm cool and we talk about video games, and it means nothing and there's no longevity behind it cause we work at a bull**** job where most people quit after a month or two months or a year or whatever, but he has worth that I care about and now that that's being ****ed with I'm feeling like Chow Yun-Fat making a goofy speech to his compatriot while they're in the middle of a firefight about how they're going to get out of this and **** mad bitches in Hawaii or whatever.

It's this total silly feeling of loyalty that seems like it should amount to nothing but it's important because it's important and I don't know if I'd feel the same either about the situation at work or John Woo movies right now if both weren't going on at the same time but it feels like providence somehow. Like John Woo is telling me to stick by who I think is worth sticking by and Burger King is telling me that dumb brotherhood movies are about more than the sum of their parts.

give me all the best timothy olyphantastic movies

don't say crazies

You should read The Water Margin (aka All Men Are Brothers). I think you'd be fascinated with all the weird ****ing **** in it.

Plus, there's a character that's literally named "Smelly Bellend".

lolwut?

Apparently they recycled a script for a Five Nights at Freddie's movie that never happened.

Hey! All the kids that used to watch that are grown now, so let's make it a horror flick! And not just any old horror flick, no ho way hozay.

*shuffles 4-5 ****ty scripts together*

As long as the theme song still slaps, I'll be happy.

Star Trek: Generations.

As sad as the Matrix sequels tarnishing the legacy of the first movie is I think the sadder thing is the over-analyzation of the themes of the first movie. The second and third movie suck because they suck in many ways, but the first only sucks if you worry too much about how good it is at being a post-modernist thesis. It's not a post-modernist thesis. I don't know how much it tries to be tbh but that's kind of irrelevant. It succeeds at being a John Woo movie turned up to 12 with the entry level post-modernism acting much the same way as the gangster movie bits of Woo movies do: to be cool and engaging while the movie bides its time until the next super ****ing cool thing. Except they work better because they tie the conceptual bits of the movie with the action bits in a way that makes perfect ****ing sense.

The Matrix is a masterpiece of whatever the hell it happens to be if not exactly what it's trying to do.

And Keanu Reeves really is Jesus irl.

Showed my kids.

Started watching all four Daniel Craig Bond movies in order cause I've never seen Quantum of Solace or Skyfall and then I felt the urge to download all the Bond movies and I think after rewatching Spectre I'll go all the way back to Dr. No and go from there. It's been probably at least a decade since I've seen a pre-Craig Bond movie and as cool as the new ones are I'm keen to revisit 007 in all his douchebag suave Connery glory.

That parkour chase seen at the beginning of Casino Royale is monumental btw.

The Raid. Crazy ****. The action choreography is nuts.

*penis highfive*

Now watch the sequel. It's even better.

I've been meaning to rewatch The Raid some time soon. That and Crank 2 are possibly the greatest action movies ever. The Raid 2 is pretty epic as well.

I winded up watching it. The action, once again, is the best I've really seen. Maybe I haven't seen enough action since I usually don't go for these types of movies. However, it really is amazing. I can't tell which one I liked more.

Never watched Crank/Crank 2. Maybe I should.

Bruh I think this right here is the first martial arts scene I ever loved and it's imprinted on my brain at this point. No matter how dumb it is I will always fawn over it and that sound when Scorpion breathes fire at Johnny Cage is a sound bite that has stuck in my head for, what, two decades now? It's just such a neat sound. And Johnny Cage as a character is just me in some different form.

You almost can't believe they just went for it like that.

Whale Rider :cool:

its an onion cutter .... https://boxden.com/smilies/4gk3CmS.png

You know how mother****ing losers see Jet Li as just not Jackie Chan? Many of those losers have never seen a Hong Kong Jackie Chan movie to do a fair comparison, and I'm still giving them too much credit cause they've almost certainly never seen Fist of Legend, a movie that brings the physicality and precision of kung fu movies into a century we have not yet seen. Seriously if all you know about Jet Li is his American **** then you don't know how ****ing scary Jet Li is. If Riggs and Murtaugh had seen that **** they would have switched to the traffic beat and not taken the chance of having their heads kicked off their shoulders. I legit don't know if I've seen a kung fu movie with such terrifying precision.

the rest of the theater was annoying but this movie was so awesomedelic

I watched Cast Away yesterday. That ending is so hilarious, it's like an executive demanded that the protagonist has some kind of closure with the folks back home and the director was like "fine bitch, I'll ruin my own otherwise good movie just to give you your ****ing closure." Movie should've ended when the ship came.

I ALWAYS turn the movie off when they find him. A perfectly sublime movie ruined by cliche cookie cutter Hallmark bullsh*t.

I like when he comes home and they have that spread for him and it’s a bunch of seafood.

Watched and enjoyed Lords of Chaos

Has that been **** on here yet?

Didn't even know it was out. TO PIRATE BAY!!!

Amazing movie, real cathartic for anyone who's ever been through a breakup with an emotionally-unavailable partner.
