I’m halfway through Everything Everywhere.
Is it fun? I guess. Is it interesting? I s’pose. Would I watch it again? You’re fucking kidding me.
How the hell this is the best movie made in a year? Guys getting superpowers by shoving objects up their asses? Hotdog finger fights?
I’m very confused.

Finally got around to watching The Darkest Hour (2017). Churchill wrestling with the pressure to enter into peace negotiations with Germany. A stirring Gary Oldman performance and can see why he picked up a Best Actor Oscar. 4 fat Cuban cigars out of 5 downed Messerschmitts.

If you see an interview with one of the directors you would not be surprised.

@voodoo I tried watching it a month or so ago and lasted about ten minutes. It was just mayhem. I get that this was the premise of the film but that didn't make it any easier or enjoyable to watch.
One frazzled eyeball out of five confused brains.

@voodoo I enjoyed it. It lagged in the middle a bit where it got even fucking stranger but overall thought the acting was very good and the imagination was spectacular. Uber surprised it got awards nominations though. Let alone actually winning.
Best super hero movie I've seen.

Elvis. Only watched first 30 and I don't think I'll bother with the rest. I just hate Baz Luhrmanns style. I have since Romeo's and Juliet. I also get that this is a Hollywood "true story" but the Colonel never had a thick accent like that. I get the guy was an arsehole but I don't like it when they turn people into ridiculous comic book like villains.

@dogmeat Yep. I didn’t hate it. But I didn’t love it either, I guess as evidenced by the fact that I still haven’t finished it in 2 sittings. Will watch the rest tonight I imagine.
Best superhero movie ever is a huge call. Can’t say I’m with you. In fact, it’s not even my favourite multi-dimensional movie.
That would be Dr Strange, which I have an inexplicable fondness for. I reckon I’ve seen it 5 times at least. And yet I don’t think it deserved an Oscar either.

Do you mean the first or the second Dr Strange? I think I prefer the second one!

I'm not really a fan of superhero movies. All a bit same, same.
I do remember enjoying Dr Strange (both) but can't recall the plots now.
I have a very visual memory so I tend not to watch movies more than once.

Although DrS1 had a much better (scene-stealing) cameo from the cloak of levitation (arguably the best actor) the dead-eyed Dane let it down as did Tilda Swanton (strange casting). DrS2 is a multiverse magical zombie movie (not surprising given who the Director was-Sam Raimi).

I think I lasted slightly longer. Like you I cant stand Baz's style.

Anyone seen the new D&D movie, I'm hoping it's OK? I'll be fine with heaps of neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd references that I'll get as long as the film is not utter shit.
Like the previous ones.
Apparently it has a bit of a Princess Bride type feel to it.
If this is the case it could be terrific.

I watched it yesterday and thought it was pretty good. Well made light blockbuster style movie.

A few points…..
Overall looks much better than Crystal Skull.
I REALLY hope that annoying chick who plays the annoying droid in the Solo Movie isn’t annoying in this.
You can guarantee Mads Mikkelsen will play an awesome bad guy. It’s just how he is.
The de aging of Harrison Ford looks amazing.
Fucken size of the fluffybunny in the background at 1.08, you can be assured he’ll dish out a good beat down.
