Yeah that was phenomenal. The cinematography was stunning and the narrative approach was excellently crafted. The terse messaging and ambiguity remind me a lot of Eggers. Far and away MOTY for me so far. 9.98/10 (wasn't fond of some of the lofi audio)

I'd bump that up to a 3.5/5 imo. I like all the references to Gods and how the main villains were basically Wonder Woman villains in the comics. I loved all the easter eggs and cameos that ended up happening. I'd even venture to push it to 4/5.

I have a customer who works for the department of Ed and he mentioned they were filming there but couldn't recall the title of the film.

Can't quite recall anything in a school but maybe that's where the AA meetings in the movie or something were being held. Either way, very cool to be so close to the production of a solid movie

Very ****ing mad that I can't find showtimes for this anywhere in my area. The comparison to Eggers has my full attention, I will be seeing this as soon as I can

Yeah I could see how one could dig it a lot more than I did. I just really, and I mean really hated most of the final ~hour of the film.

If you don't like MCU type humor you might be bored with this one, but if MCU-style humor works for you then you'll probably laugh and enjoy the antics.

I went into this with zero expectations and ended up loving it so much. I was a bit tired so I dozed off at one or two parts of it but it's definitely a 4/5 for me.

I watched that Top Gun: Maverick movie last night.

What a cheese fest. I liked some of it and hated some of it. All the action scenes were amazing. Tom Cruise is still a star. The dialogue just wasn't for me.

I love that movie so much I saw it three times in the theater and I watched it again four nights ago.

I'm all about the action scenes they were super intense.

I ended up going to the Mystery Monday movie thing that Regal does and I got surprised with an advanced screening of Mafia Mamma with Toni Coletti.

Based off of the trailers I wouldn't have bothered watching honestly and I love Toni Coletti as an actress but it was pretty great. I know stupid reviewers will end up panning it because they feel like it's too feminist and girl power of a movie. I won't spoil it but I definitely had a good time and I'm mad that I prejudged it so hard just based off of the trailers.

I skipped this mystery movie Monday because Paint was so meh but it sounds like I would enjoy that one a bit more. I might check it out when it gets a normal release later this month

Three hours though until the Mario movie, cannot wait

djchameleon · 04-06-2023, 01:28 PM

yeah I want to see Mario movie so badly. I didn't care when I saw the first trailer but the second trailer with the rainbow road scene sold me on it being a MUST SEE.

Yeah I was reading a reddit about Mystery Movie releases and people say Paint was the worst one they had but they had some other gems that I've missed out on.

Maybe I'm just a grouch but I am not interested in that Mario movie is the slightest.

Same. The games are fun, but I don't see how it would translate into a movie I'd want to watch.
