Trump just posted that we no longer need or desire help in the Strait. Wait!! I thought he said yesterday several countries agreed to help? Guess that was all a big lie as well.

So much winning.

Sinners has my vote, but I’m a horror movie fan.

One Battle is the far superior movie by the way. Sinners is From Dusk Till Dawn in period form.

Completely disagree. Sinners may be a tad overrated but was still a solid film, OBAA wasnt very good at all...I had to power through that one

Remember when I posted here when it happened that it looked staged AF, and I was shamed into oblivion for it? Might have been us and Hunt that were the only ones who thought so, now it's pretty much accepted that he staged this to help win the election. Meanwhile there were CVON posters that no doubt wore a maxipad on their ear

Didn't seen Sinners but Frankenstein was excellent.

Watched One Battle After Another on my flight home from Tokyo - it sucked.

I can't believe Nuremberg wasn't even nominated.

Yep. You were on it the second it happened. And here was my first post in that thread

Only entertaining scenes are the ones where he was on the phone multiple times trying to remember the code answers, and then any other scene with BDT in it.

Macron now says France will send help to Hormuz but only after things have calmed down. That's the "yes, but..." right there.

MAGA eating their own. The plot to put Tucker in prison for speaking out against the war.

I'd heard it was really tough to get through and, quite honestly, I don't think Hollywood has made a good movie that stacks up to pre-Netflix era Hollywood movies since ever.

Oppenheimer, Coda, guardians 3, Maverick, Mitchells and the machines?

If you wanna go further back, The Father, Ford vs Ferrari, 1917, Green Book, First Man, Get Out, Lion

Certainly we are seeing the biggest cracks in MAGA so far. Let's hope they break wide open.

Reports that certain exports are being allowed through Strait of Hormuz, after Iran verifies them.

Couldn't get through the first 15 minutes before stopping. Loved Sinners though.

OBAA is a lot like a Wes Anderson movie in that it can take about half an hour before you feel comfortable in it, but once it settles in you are full engrossed. That's the main complaint I've heard about it, people that didn't make it past 30 minutes or disengaged fully by that point. It's an excellent movie and one of the better ones to win the Oscar recently.

Sinners is a top notch flick with some A+ elements, but it's ultimately a vampire movie remake with multiple messy endings.

Watched that on the flight as well. Excellent movie.

At this point you really have to wonder if even hard core MAGA pays any attention to his daily melt downs.

Out of all the ones you've said, if I had to give you one, it'd be Get Out.

Everything else on your two posts would have been light Hollywood work in the early 2000's and before

Nothing you really liked until you go that far back? I kinda think 2012 was one of the best years for movies in decades. Zero Dark Thirty, Life of Pi, Moneyball, etc. I'd have to go way back to the early 90's to find something comparable. I do agree that streaming as a platform has changed the cinema landscape for the worse, but I'd say that's due to the surging demand for long-form series and shows that's driving talent away from feature films as a format.

I gotta say Ive enjoyed all kinds of movies lately, I go every Wednesday afternoon by myself. Beer and taco next door after. I try not to be so analytical when it comes to being entertained.

PTA movies are usually about men who are on the down slope from their peak and they're trying to come to terms with it, and that's a really niche plot. Either you like it or you don't. This one was the same, it just added in a bunch of throwing shade at political extremists.

Haven't finished Nuremburg yet, but it's pretty decent so far.

Sinners was ok. Didn't really knock my socks off.

Im a sucker for period pieces, horror or not. The things they do now with the wardrobe and sets is really cool.
