Never saw the big short. I thought the acting and pacing were really dreadful and it had a clear Hollywood liberal bias; all Republicans BAD, women should have had access to power sooner etc. It was really transparent and kind of boring.

+plus+ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 to be fair IDK what you expected going to see that The whole movie kind of supposed to be about Dick Cheney and his shenanigans I've always been intrigued by his mysteriousness I have heard the pacing is rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I streamed it. I dunno, W. avoided that pitfall, I really liked that one. Shenanigans are what I wanted. What I got was a lecture, not my idea of entertainment.

+plus+ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ah that makes more sense. Kind of browbeat with the films message rather than showing and letting the viewer reach their own conclusions? I was hoping for more shenanigans and perhaps a dark and partially comedic take on the whole Halliburton, Iraq buggaloo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+plus+ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 BTW the big short was good though, same director did a great job covering the 2008 housing crisis with an interesting editing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for more shenanigans and perhaps a dark and partially comedic take on the whole Halliburton, Iraq buggaloo? Exactly that. No subtlety at all, just beating you over the head with the message. I'm sure it will cater to those of a similar mind, I just felt as a movie, it didn't work. Steve Carell as Rumy had a few funny moments but ultimately even that fell short. Ya I didn't make it far enough to see the Haliburton days, the movie keeps jumping between him as a young drunk and then him as VP. Was all over the place. E: almost forgot.. The movie starts with a disclaimer : 'We have no idea what we're talking about but we did our best!! He's just *so* secretive' ?

+plus+ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yea it was more about the banks being fuckers and the guys figuring out what was up before everyone else. Stever Carell nailed the role. Has anyone seen Holmes and Watson? getting absolutely hammered in reviews lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen any reviews for that. cant stand Cumbersnatch anyway so its an automatic pass from me. I do like the guy playing Watson tho, he was great in Fargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 So didn't/wouldn't watch? I didn't go into this without much more than general storyline and Spike Lee. Did not choose on basis of Spike Lee but maybe expected more because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzels son cant act his way out of a wet paper bag and the 'you're all a bunch or waccists' schtick got old quick. I haven't enjoyed a Spike Lee joint since Inside Man. I think Peele is laughable, he made a career ragging on blk stereotypes, now all of a sudden hes the second coming of film and all his movies lean on the assumtpion that Americans are all despicable racists? Fuck that clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that watching this I had the feel that he was doing what Tarantino already did in Django and adapting it to a true story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on another note, lol, how the fuck you seen every movie everyone's seen and not posted about them? Been thinking about Stand Off at Sparrow Creek. Never saw the Papillon remake if you caught that. Kults Ebert got to give some thumbs up/down in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw the Papillon remake if you caught that. Kults Ebert got to give some thumbs up/down in here. I watch a ton of movies lol I prefer 70s-90s era ones but I’ve seen most of the ones I have interest in multiple times now. So I take the dip on the modern ones even though most of them leave me disappointed. Too much exhibition, special effects and reliance on name actors to sell it. I miss the nuance of a good story told subtly. Havent seem the papillon remake yet, the OG is special though. Hoffman is hit or miss for me over the years but McQueen was as good as it got. The guys a legend. Stand off looks solid, def on my short list but haven’t gotten around to that one yet. Couple choice actors I like in there, like that weird looking dude that’s in all the David Lynch movies/shows. His name escapes me atm but the dude in Mulholland Drive that sees the.. creature behind the dumpster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kults Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) David Chase announced a Sopranos prequel movie yesterday; The Saints of Newark Nostalgia is strong for that series so I’m curious but these things rarely turn out well. Could cheapen the legacy if they botch It. They got Michael Gandolfini ( James’ son) to play Tony so that’s at least kinda cool. He was good in The Deuce. Looking forward to a teaser so we can get a feel for the vibe they’re gonna go with. Edited January 23, 2019 by Kults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my top 5 of all time for sure. PLz plz plz dont let this suck. Also, I wonder whos gonna play Tony B, a young looking Steve Buscemi is gonna be hard to find lol Also willing to bet they let the guy that played Pauly reprise the role ( he doesnt age and looked ancient even back then) Edited January 23, 2019 by Kults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
