come on.  it's not for everyone, but "lacked substance" is silly

I did really liked the first 20 to 30 minutes of the film, after that it just didn't do much for me

It was literally surface level dialogue, song, surface level dialogue, song, more dialogue that went nowhere, song, rinse and repeat. The story was just a filler around the music, which is fine if you're a fan of Dylan and his music and going to see the movie for that. But as a movie, it did lack anything other than a surface level look at Dylan over a 5 year timeframe. There is a sheet ton of music, but not much of a story in a biographical film which is where it lacks the substance

Like if you're going to watch a biopic on someone you want a bit more than 'hey look, Dylan is an eccentric a-hole' for 15 minutes in a 2 and a half hour movie

Gladiator 2 sucked. A coliseum full of water and sharks? Really? 

Language

 

The Fall Guy is a fun movie. Nothing like the old TV show but a lot of fun all the same. Gosling is hilarious in it.

I can’t wait for this movie to come out.  Looks amazing.

Yeah. Why.

Tim Robinson is hilarious in pretty much everything he is in.  The trailer, made to look serious, makes it seem that much funnier.

Watched Convlave the other day on Peacock.
 

For a subject that I have absolutely zero interest in, this movie was actually very good.

I saw it at the movies today and I agree

We watched it last night.  Really good except for the twist at the end.  It added nothing and felt really out of place.  If you took out everything from

Spoiler

the monsignor telling the dean the extra details he found and the conversation in the room between the dean and Benitez

nothing changes and it would have flowed much more smoothly.

We are trying to watch at least 2 more Best Picture nominees.  Have seen Wicked and Conclave so far.  Any suggestions?

Dune Part 2 was great. If you can do sci-fi and have seen the first I'd watch the second

Between all the sex and boobs, Anora was quite funny. 

The Substance is graphic and isn't going to be for everyone.

If you like Bob Dylan and want to watch 2 hours of a Bob Dylan cover show starring Chalamet then I'd recommend A Complete Unknown. 

The run time of The Brutalist put me off. I never saw it in the end. I heard Emilia Perez is complete trash

Anora is the best option. Parents-only film though

Maybe in another 16ish years

We ended up watching The Substance tonight. I knew basically nothing going in

 

I was not prepared. 
 

Also:

I have a fairly extreme phobia of needless, which did NOT help

That movie was so messed up.  I thought it was brilliant and somewhat hilarious. Full reviews are over in the horror movie thread. Don’t be scared!

yeah, stupid boomers!

as i power up the switch i bought for my wife and play pokemon just like i did when i was 10 :ph34r: 

I can’t help but think that maybe Forrest should have demanded a DNA test.

Heretic beats Conclave 10x times over.  Watched both and IMO Heretic wins easily.

What version? I loved the RPG one from game boy in like late 90s (red, blue, yellow maybe?) and was thinking a few weeks ago that a modern version of that would be entertaining to kill time playing
