Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

She was sexy as **** and Jordan was devolving or evolving in to a degenerate drug addicted deviant. She was a straight up vision at that party. That's why he left his wife. Couple that with all of his peers cheating on their wives, he was always one hooker away. Given he didn't complain and moved directly to marrying the Dutchess after the divorce was final I don't think she took anything from him worth mentioning.

I think that one bad day where everybody lost their job to then being demoted to selling penny stocks was the last straw in him giving a **** about his clients and whether or not they profited and then what MM's character told him about it's about them stringing along clients being good for them stopped being an echo and more of firm principle in how he did business.

Plus I'm sure all the hookers and drugs changed him.

Son did crack

Soon as he heard 50% commission, his life changed forever.

Walken's character was .. strange. I can't really put my finger on what tho.

At face value he was just a nickel and dime criminal, small time with his little scams, and an overall bad father getting by on platitudes but in depth look and he really seemed out of touch with reality at times. It's like something broke him at some point and he didn't take anything seriously, his divorce is just a separation, gov't takes his business and his car and w/e else, he's still hustling and losing, and he's so deluded that now he's trying to live vicariously through his sons crimes by rooting him on instead of seriously trying to help him.

It was really trippy. Nothing amazing but it just shows the value Walken brings to a role, well written character plus great actor.

I don't know how many of you liked the Chucky movies growing up, but the first film in the series (Child’s Play) gave me nightmares for days as a kid.

Curse of Chucky came out late last year, and man is it a blast. It doesn’t have a huge budget, and there are no real name actors attached, but it is great. Gone are the days of Jennifer Tilly disgracing the screen and no more kids hogging up the screen time. Chucky is scary again. He still has a sadistic sense of humor, but he isn’t nearly as campy as he was in the past two sequels.

They went back to the original look of the Good Guy Doll from the first three films, which I LOVED. Once Chucky comes to life though, he has this really strange look on his face. He looks creepy still, but it looks like a Chinese rip-off. .

It’s not that he looks bad per se, he still looks better than Mr. Stitch-a-Lot, but he just looks kind of fake. I wish they would’ve stuck with CGI or practical effects, and not interchange them. Some scenes look really funny when it’s clearly CGI, but it really works when they’re using practical effects. Even when they used a real-life actor, they hid them well enough so that it was still believable. They did that in the original films too, and it worked flawlessly.

What I really liked about it was how much they didn’t rely on the tropes they established the last two films. Making fun of pop culture, making doll jokes, and trying harder to be funny than scary.

And the last 30 minutes or so are gold. Up to the point of a lot of the major reveals, you’re not sure where exactly this film fits into the continuity of the prior films. Once the film is finally concluded (past the credits), it is very clear where it lies, and the cameos gives me confidence that the series can rebound to its former glory.

Nightmare on Elm Street. Friday the 13th. Hellraiser. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. All the classic slasher series have tried to stay relevant in some way, but in terms of critical response, I don’t think a better sequel/reboot/remake has been seen in quite some time from these slasher movies. Very happy how it turned out, and if there’s a sequel on the way, they have my money. I am just upset that it didn’t get a theatrical release. It wouldn’t have been a huge hit, but the genre fans would’ve made it more money than it has on home video.

I thought he was on one or something like that.

That's sort of what I got at the end, how he wanted to live thru DiCaprio's character. He was probably the most interesting character for me. Well done by Walken.

Anyway, I just finished the new Hunger Games. I got to the end, and I felt like it was the middle the movie. Was sort of like wtf.

I look at Wolf as a biopic but I agree the degeneration occurred a little too quickly. Black Monday probably could've been a bigger deal as well.

Need this on blu

Leo been having acting chops.. His first film pit him up against Robert De Niro circa 1993. I def recommend checking this film out



edit: apparently the whole movie is on youtube

Leo in The Aviator is under appreciated

Masterful performance

If there was ever a year Leo got royally snubbed for the Oscar, it was for ^ .

 

[iluvjordanxi]

Memento was okay for me. I liked everything and it got my attention the whole way but it got kind of confusing toward the end. None the less it was still good but I wished the ending could have been better. I thought there would have been a better reason to not trust Teddy.

I recommend Midnight in Paris for those who like 500 Days of Summer or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind.

I can't get with Woody Allen. Frankly, I'm amazed that self righteous actors & actresses still continue to work with him. I mean his own step daughter (Mia Farrow's daughter) states he molested her numerous times starting when she was 7 & dude ends up marrying his adoptive daughter. Nah, you can keep your Blue Jasmine & the like.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Interesting short film (not a doc) from the good folks at Vice...

Royally snubbed? Nah... he lost to Jamie Foxx for Ray. It's cool to think Leo was superior that year, but Foxx was completely deserving of the Oscar.

Personally, I think the whole "Leo is hated by the Academy" is a bit overblown. It's certainly crazy that someone of his talent hasn't won yet, but it's no worse than a lot of the Academy's bizarre choices or actors whose best films went unrecognized.

 

[awwsome]

Yea I wouldn't have given Leo the award over Foxx that year, Ray was a landmark performance but it was very close and I would've hated to have to make that call

Leo has gotten snubbed like not being nominated for Catch Me If You Can in 02 even though Brody still wins.

Also not getting nominated in 2010 for Shutter Island over Eisenberg

He didn't deserve to win when he was nominated for Blood Diamond & as great as he is in Wolf, don't think he is beating Bale or McConaughey.

Leo is just unlucky, he had great roles that didn't get nominated then when he does, the role isn't that strong or the competition is stacked.

I did not like Midnight in Paris at all.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Thought I'd put this in here too...

Despite telling the Access Hollywood reporter she's seen seasons 1 & 2 twice, the reporter spoils season 3 for Jennifer Lawrence who looks genuinely shocked, pissed & sad...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

you guys ever watch Revolutionary Road? I heard Leo was a beast in that one as well.

He won a golden globe for his performance, and was nominated for an Oscar

but the film won 5 oscars, and was nominated for 11 total

[johnnyredstorm]
