General movie news thread

This looks fun.

 

Bruce Springsteen emphasizes.

 

And Bob Dylan.*

* Unless you count "We Are The World" for both of them, which you shouldn't.

 

I was considering counting the Boss-penned "Blinded by the Light" but I didn't either.

 

Well this sums things up nicely.

 

This looks crazy....and Marshawn Lynch has one of the lead roles!

 

Lynch was surprisingly good on "Murderville," the improv comedy detective show on Netflix, based on a British show.

 

God bless Marshawn Lynch for being able to deliver those lines with a straight face. I'll stream this one and feel dirty for laughing at it.

Re. SawX... I felt slightly ill watching that. Bullying of patients and staff in hospitals is a real thing and someone sent me a link to this because it was cathartic for them. No. Just...no.

The Dinklage and Thurman movies look more like something I'd watch and then buy copies of.

 

I am trying hard to like Oppenheimer. There's not anyone involved with this that I can't say I am a fan of. Sum of its parts and all that.

The storytelling feels, well, it feels mannered in a way that makes the thing scan more like I am not watching a Christopher Nolan movie so much as I am watching someone who tried to make a movie the way Nolan does. This is not to say there is no place for this kind of filmmaking. Wes Anderson is the current mack daddy of this approach. It just doesn't seem to fit here.

You know? Now that I am on this particular mental pig trot, seeing a Wes Anderson movie about a real event might be fun.

 

Saw the first half of "Jurassic World: Dominion" and will not be watching the second half. What a disaster, even with bringing back Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The movie had their plot line, a plot line involving Hollywood's Worst Chris and Bryce Dallas HowcomeshesnotJessicaChastain, and another plot line involving a tour guide who was Black and ostensibly checking off a box.

These movies are no longer scary because none of the main characters EVER gets killed. What's more, this one revolved around fucking locusts. Wut?

Just a trash heap movie.

 

Michael Mann is back!
