Last movie you saw?

[Lucien]

Blade Runner moves slowly, so I can see why some people don't like it, but it's not just sci-fi, it's also a detective/mystery story.  It unfolds, it gives a lot to think about, and it doesn't rush things or throw in explosions or action just to up to excitement quota.  I like it just the way it is.

[LudwigVan]

I can't be alone in liking Blade Runner lol. There has to be someone else

I love blade runner. Visually stunning, engaging story, beautiful music. One of my favorite films.

Yes, the soundtrack is an absolute winner.

[TAC]

Gave us the intro music to Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time tour.

If you check out the Somewhere in Time album cover, there are Blade Runner images all over the place

[TAC]

Cool. I've never seen the movie.

[jjrock88]

Cool. I've never seen the movie.

whoa

[BlobVanDam]

Blade Runner is painfully slow. But it's one of the most visually arresting sci-fi movies ever.

I agree. I was so immersed in the world because of the beautiful visuals and atmosphere, and it set up a cool premise, but then it just went nowhere with it and was a huge letdown for me. I don't mind slow burn movies at all, but I didn't feel any payoff at the end of the movie. It fizzled out before it had even burned.

[BlackInk]

I thought Blade Runner was okay.

[Kotowboy]

I think 2001 might be less slow than Blade Runner...

[hefdaddy42]

I just popped in to say how much I love the Russo Brothers.

Captain America: Civil War

Wow, that was a long movie.  Lots of characters, each of whom had to have at least a little bit of story and/or motivation, some more than others, so lots of story and lots of context to cover.  Also, lots of action and stuff, so a pretty jam-packed movie overall.  Somehow it worked, mostly, and I was quite entertained for 2.5 hours.  Seemed a bit odd to call it a Captain America movie when it had more Marvel characters than the Avengers movies, but not all of the Avengers were there, so maybe this was the only way to go.  There was that one scene with Alfre Woodard when she asked Stark who was going to avenge her son, and the Sokovia Accords directly affect The Avengers, so there was that.

Also, we just played a gig in Wauconda, Illinois, so when they kept talking about Wakanda, that was weird and kept pulling me out of the story.

[Kotowboy]

I've not seen Civil War. I've seen The first Avenger which was crap and Winter Soldier which was much better.

Civil War was commonly referred to as Avengers 2.5, due to the number of characters involved.

But for sure, the main character throughout was Cap. 

[Orbert]

Captain America definitely had the biggest role, but Iron Man/Tony Stark was also pretty big, as those two were like the leaders of the two opposing "factions".

I'm not complaining or anything.  The trailers made it pretty clear that it wasn't "just" a Captain America story but had a lot of other Marvel characters in it, including most of The Avengers.  I'm not sure how else they could've done it.

[Sacul]

Donnie Darko. Kinda messed up film but reading some explanations it made more sense. Great one.

[chknptpie]

Watched Lucy last night, could have been done better.

[BlobVanDam]

The Fly (1986)

Good overall, great makeup and effects, although the ending didn't have the impact of the original. Him typing questions at the computer was the only bit that really bothered me, but other than that I liked the story.

[Kotowboy]

The Fly 2 with Eric Stoltz is f---ing hysterical.

My sis and I watched it when we were a lot younger and we were pissing ourselves the whole time.

It's just laughably silly.

That final shot of the man/monster hybrid having to live in basically a kennel with a bowl of water - so so funny.

[Phoenix87x]

Citizen 4 - The documentary about Snowden. Really interesting

[NoseofNicko]

Blair Witch (2016):

Well, that was disappointing.

[Kotowboy]

Blair Witch (2016):

As expected.

The found footage craze has really gotten old. And i've heard that in this one there's a truckload of cameras all over the place.

[Prog Snob]

Swordfish

It was the first time I ever saw it from start to finish. It's a good movie but predictable.

[Accelerando]

Just came back from viewing Sully. Clint Eastwood has made another incredible film. The use of sound in this flick is absolutely amazing. Go see it in a theatre with the best sound possible. Also it'll remind you of how much good there is in this world as well.

[Adami]

Swordfish

There's one good thing about that movie.

Well, technically two.

[Prog Snob]

 

I can't argue with that.

[Prog Snob]

Oh, and I also watched something called We Are Legion. It's about the hactivist group, Anonymous.

[Phoenix87x]

Not a movie, but more of a ESPN mini series. 5 part series on OJ simpson



It was very thorough and decent

[Kotowboy]

THE FLY II

Ain't seen it in yonks. Still pretty poor. Funny for all the wrong reasons.

There's a scene where BrundleFly throws a guy and the wire is CLEARLY visible.

Also - lead is Eric Stoltz who was recast in Back To The Future with Michael J Fox.

His name in this ?

Marty.

ALL THE SALT IN ALL THE WOUNDS.

31 (2016):

Rob Zombie's latest movie. I liked it. Not a well made movie, but pretty entertaining and very violent (not really gory though, I hope the unrated version is gorier) and one of the villains was great. 7/10

[faizoff]

Neighbors 2. I don't know what strikes me about this movie and the previous one, but I love both of them almost as the jump street movies.

[BlobVanDam]

Akira
It was ok, but I didn't think it was all that. The animation was really nice though.

[hefdaddy42]

Sisters.

lol

[Kotowboy]

Akira
It was ok, but I didn't think it was all that. The animation was really nice though.

I didn't fully get it the first time. I liked it more with each viewing.

You have to understand that Akira doesn't use cel animation. Each fucking frame was drawn individually.

No, I'm pretty sure Akira uses cel animation; if memory serves me right, what's impressive about Akira is that there's a shitton more layers of cel going on in each individual shot than the typical animated film. Like each individual object or whatever in the shot is done on its own cel, rather than only having the important objects on their own cels and having everything else as part of the background.

[Kotowboy]

I may have misunderstood what I heard. I was under the impression every frame was done from scratch.
