Tbh Forest Gump was pretty ****ed up. What a c*nt that Jennay was.

She would've been such a nice girl if she didn't associate with those dang radicals.

She gave a retarded guy AIDS, frowny. She was a twat.

That movie I watched Sin Nombre I liked the gritty latin american gang scene. Anyone have any recommendations in that same sorta vein? Obviously I've already seen City of God.

Amores Perros

Looks promising from the trailer. Will try to see if I can find it.

Yeah, Perros is fairly unforgettable. Can't think of many like it.

Nice. Bookmarked.

I've been forgetting I can screencast from my laptop to my tv. Derp. lol

I should have a nice backlog of stuff after going back through this thread, thanks to you. Cheers, Ando.

:beer:

She didn't give Forrest AIDS - she was intimate with him before she knew she was sick or even knew what AIDS was. The whole point was that she was an incest survivor and didn't think much of herself. Also, I personally don't view Forrest as "retarded" - he was an unselfish, loyal, loving person.

I finally got around to watching Dr. Strangelove. It's well made from a sort of technical perspective, but I can't say I actually enjoyed it. The humor has aged to the point of being painfully unfunny, and its high profile status made watching it a completely surprise free endeavour for me. Neither of those things are the movie's fault but nevertheless that was my experience. It makes me wonder if I would have enjoyed it if I had been able to see it when it was new or not.

Don't think I'd have found it belly-laugh funny in the 60s - past 12. But some of the situations are amusing. I like Peter Sellers when he's subtle, not farcical - his scenes with Sterling Hayden are the main reason why I revisit it.

:beer: I don't expect any of the links (including/especially YouTube links) to stay up for long. It's nice when they do.

I didn't really enjoy those scenes, but I agree that that character was the best of Sellers' performances.

She shouldn't have been stringing along some retarded guy for years like that to begin with... Then to give him AIDS on top of it... tsk tsk

Forrest did not get AIDS in the film; and again, Jenny did not know she had AIDS (if she indeed had it - she referred to it as a "virus") when she was intimate with Forrest - she discovered that she was sick later on. I don't think that she ever meant to string him along - in fact, she was often running away because she had been abused in childhood and felt undeserving of his love. We can agree to disagree on that. I always felt she loved Forrest, actually, and didn't want to hurt him.

not knowing you have AIDS doesn't stop you from spreading it

she totally gave him AIDS and then birthed him an AIDS baby on top of it

and she didn't run away cause she felt undeserving of his love she was just bored with him cause he was so stupid

then when she was done having fun she settled down with the retarded guy and gave him AIDS, that's how i saw the movie.

I don't think she had AIDS when she ****ed him. I think you're just a chud.

PSA: Being HIV positive=/=Having AIDS.

That says the son has AIDS and not Forrest unless I skimmed over it and either way I still seem to remember that knowledge of what HIV/AIDS is was something the audience knew but the characters didn't.

I couldn't tell if that article was satire or not tbh. lol

But either way, she knew he was retarded which is bad enough in my book. tsk tsk Jennay.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1946, John Houston)

I knew this would be good but not quite this good.

The most novel aspect of it is the casting of Humphrey Bogart against type. I won’t spoil the plot but I think, as far as the film is concerned, anyway (haven’t read the B. Traven novel), Bogie’s character is involved in Houston’s point-of-view problem. That is, since Bogart gets top billing audiences go in assuming, not necessary that he’s the hero, but that our point-of-view is his. Now, this was 1946, post-War II in America and we’re introduced to a character begging on the streets of Mexico with “Help out a fellow American?” entreaties. He even approaches the same passerby (in a funny John Houston cameo) twice with the same line. He then has the nerve to tell a kid hustling for pennies, “Quit begging!” Right off the bat we’re presented with sympathizing with Bogie’s predicament but definitely not his unsavory character. It’s a strange place to be. Houston not only increases this tension as the film proceeds but (and I won’t say how) jettisons the Bogie/audience point-of-view altogether! Very few directors had the guts to do this in the Hollywood of that era. Few do now. Good streamer

For anyone who grew up in the 90s and has been waiting for the return of Mortal Kombat to the big screen for two and a half decades the wait is bout to be over. Do not **** this up.

Of course they'll fuck it up. It's they only thing a bunch of shitty Hollywood writers can do. The sad part is that people will flock to the theaters knowing this and Hollywood fuck bags will make a bunch of money continuing the trend.

Has there ever been a good movie based on a video game?

Probably.

Yes Hollywood bad but did you see the part where Sub Zero formed an ice knife out of Scorpion's own blood and then stabbed him with it?

Yes. The first Mortal Kombat movie.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, Frank Lloyd)

I've seen the 1962 (Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard) and 1984 (Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins) versions, the latter of which is supposed to be the more accurate account of what happened with the 1789 mutiny on the British Royal Navy ship than the earlier two. Never watched this until now. Streamer

The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (1960, Rogelio A. González)

Great light horror Mexican flick about a taxidermist who does in his harpy wife. YouTube vid has good English subs. Looks great, too.

I've heard non stop bitching about this movie from fans but just now watching the trailer it looks really dope. Only issue is that they totally should have used Ed Boon for the Scorpion voice.

Also, being a total nerd for the lore of this game, I like how they had the portrait of the great Kung Lao. (he's an ancestor to Liu Kang and the current Kung Lao that fought in past tournaments)

Literally my only problem with this trailer is that it has some non-game character named Cole as a main character and no Johnny Cage. But other than that it looks like it has the exact same tone and lack of class as the first movie combined with the rated R ultraviolence we were denied that was the biggest strike against that movie. I mean Kano holding some guy's heart and going "Kano wins ... you ****ing beauty" makes the movie worthwhile even if it doesn't live up to the trailer.

I think it'll be good. I don't know if it will be the legend that the first movie was that arguably helped shape the identity of some of the core characters, but it definitely can't be nearly as bad as Annihilation.

I also know Johnny is supposed to be in the sequel if it gets one. I'd prefer him over Cole too.

If nothing else I believe the fights will be amazing. I'll be on that **** the day it's released.

Last few films I saw-Call of the Wild (good), Soul (very good and relatable), aaand Raya (good)

Finally watching Hellraiser. Hope it lives up to the hype.

Oh wow Holy **** great movie but it's cool that the cenobites are straight up the Godhand from Berserk.

Watch Hellraiser 2. It's the more popular one because it's more about the cenobites. I think it really depends on what you're looking for. And 3 is the cheesed out ridiculous one where they really made pinhead into the villain and the star kind of destroying any consistency just to milk as much money from it.

I've been silent for days after watching this. Went looking for a Hitchcock produced film (he's credited with being one of several) and was confronted with more than I could handle.

oh man I can imagine :(

I watched the Shnider cut. It's decent. 4 hours and it didn't feel like a chore watching it.

Needs more time though IMO. The thing about the MCU is they built up these characters and the story line through various movies so when the big event happened you actually cared. This one is like they rushed to have an Infinity War. So many events already happened that you have to be somewhat of a nerd to understand. Like they should have had perhaps a movie about Robin. Oh and the special effects were also not on par with MCU.

Same. And Schnider clearly doesn't get Superman. He was fine in these movies but you have to be willing to be at least somewhat corny to do Superman.
