Another one for tonight (AMC+)…the unofficial Creepshow 3

this tale still haunts me. poor guy

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

It’s crazy to me that A Star is Born has been made 4 separate times (1937, 1954, 1976 and 201. Each version is a little different, but same basic premise.

I wonder what the 2038 version will be like?

I saw it coming about halfway through, but either way he's an idiot.

Even if she wasn't ____ , what exactly did he have to gain from providing that information

Taught me a lesson at a very young age. Some skeletons should stay in the closet and what your girl don't know won't hurt her (or you).

I kind of liked Joker 2 for that reason tho.

Now, certainly it wasn't a "perfect" film or anything like that, I clearly loved the first one much much more, but I did like the closure/follow up of this one from the sense of he was telling us the whole time that nobody would even look at him on the street, or care about him as they walked by, but when he became Joker, when he was Joker, they worshipped and adored him, when really, he was just a regular sick man. They all wanted him to do what they couldn't.

I admit, I was kind of guilty myself, I wanted to see him and Harley go out and just WREAK HAVOC on Gotham, but why? Why do I want that? Why am I rooting for that? Similar to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, everyone was eagerly waiting what was going to happen to Sharon Tate, and QT zigged where we expected zagged. What did that say about us that we were all eagerly awaiting seeing how he was going to have her murder filmed?

This Joker was the same, imo. It had some wonderfully shot scenes, and some beautiful moments here and there, but I'm not sure if that's what we all wanted, fair or not. I assume everyone wanted to see Joker brutality rather than Joker mentality.

And I know some didn't like the close, I actually did like it. It makes sense in going with the nobody knows the true origin of who or where The Joker came from, doing what they did there would certainly keep audiences guessing as to current identity, similar to The Following, and how the killer(s) kept changing from episode to episode and you couldn't keep track of the network of homicidal maniacs following the good Dr.

Ummm because that's what Joker does and who he is. The backlash from the incels was a pretty poor reason to do what Phillips decided to do with this film. Honestly it was so loosely connected to the Batman lore in the first place with the first film. This one basically had zero ties even in an elsewhere universe, which made the ending even more insulting with him trying to tie it to the Nolan universe.

Talk to me was excellent

Joker 2 was not. I didn't come away with it as insulted as I did with megalopolis but it was just boring and uninspired

Just finished 12 Years a Slave for the first time. That was a tough watch. Not sure enjoyed is the right word but it was interesting and thought provoking.

Was just discussing rewatching this one earlier today.

Saw A Quiet Place Day One finally. It was very good, Lupita is incredible and the premise still holds interesting

SS&S night 6: The Princess Bride (1987)

“As you wish!”
“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die!”
“INCONCEIVABLE!”
“Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder today.”
"Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

“No more rhymes now, I mean it!”

Movie is 8/8. An American CLASSIC up there with wizard of oz, forest Gump, lion king, Bambi, Rocky, etc. just pure American pop culture.

Rob Reiner directed. Carey Elwes in his prime. Robin Wright in. Her. Prime.

You got Andre the giant, Fred Savage’s first role, Billy Crystal, the guy who played Columbo!

Awesome soundtrack, all time great love story, top notch action and fighting scenes, one of the greatest comedic scripts in all of film, the STUNNING scenery, tense moments, outstanding ending, everything man. For a non drama having an 8/10 on IMDB and 96% on RT is insane.

Never seen it.

It’s fine

 

[brian8598]

It’s fine

It's good but it's overhyped by the most annoying kind of nerds who, like with Monty Python and The Holy Grail, over-quote the same silly lines to the point that they are obnoxious. IMO.

Assumed they weren’t, well that seems unnecessary but without special effects I guess they wanted to go for the realism

Chairs being stacked, nope not fun at all mom! Look my child’s moving, but this Rams helmet will protect us

The tornado — looked so bad, we were only 14 years away from Twister and the difference is STARK

They say: Wife is 32, oldest daughter 16? We got 16 and pregnant going on here

Was wondering what the chains all were that fell from the void—then the end answered that

The chicken and steak face scene, thought it was gonna be “real” and then that’s what was coming for all of them

The little woman clairvoyant was spectacular

Steven/Craig T. Nelson pulling on the rope, “Steven not yet!” (He pulls it anyway) — they come back, but maybe because he didn’t follow the little clairvoyant’s instructions to a tee, the presence wasn’t eradicated completely

The mom had grey strands in her hair, stress or something in the void?

The next scene is them packing up to move—They go back in the house. I can’t stress how stupid this is. You never go back in that house. You never ever go back into that house. Ever. Burn it down.

“YOU ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES!”

PG rating I assume that has something to do with how the rating systems weren’t established yet

Poltergeist gets a 6/8.
