HandsomeDead Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 There is one thing that I didn't feel was explained after watching all three films, but I do think what is confusing you is answered in 1666 @Jimbo Xiii 1666 isn't that good, it just explains stuff. Or you want answers, they're here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I doubt the movie's going to be any good but the marketing for Free Guy has been excellent: A bunch more here: https://twitter.com/FreeGuyMovie/status/1424781751109361679/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Saw the trailer today while watching Suicide Squad... fucking hell, hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Fast 9. Very stupid. Lots of fun. The driving magnets part was particular good. That didn’t overstay it’s welcome like some action scenes in previous films too, such as the infamous runway. In fact I wish it was a bit longer. Enjoyed it a lot more than 8.

Maryokutai Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Birds of Prey and blablabla Some visually appealing scenes, set pieces and colours and Margot Robbie really is great as Harley but this might just be as bad as the first Suicide Squad. I only watched it in case it's ... "important" for the new, good, Suicide Squad but goddamn it felt like a massive waste of time. If not even McGregor can save your movie you've done a pretty bad job I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think looking back I may of preferred Birds of Prey to the new Suicide Squad... given time to think about it there's a lot I dislike with the new film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Are you sure you remember Birds of Prey well enough? Because there's really not much there, it's just a very paperthin concept and storyline with a very pretty coat of paint and every character except for Harley is underdeveloped and one-dimensional.

Jimboxy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I don't really remember a lot about Birds of Prey apart from at the time I thought it was ok but the final third was a massive dog shit. The fact I can remember nothing in particular about probably tells you everything you need to know. We watched The Suicide Squad the other day. It's ok, I'm not sure why I didn't really enjoy it as there is nothing wrong with it as such. It maybe felt a bit forced or trying to hard perhaps. Might watch it again soon as I felt like I should have enjoyed it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I loved Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. DC have been on a roll since Shazam! for me, loved every one of their films they've put out from that movie onwards incl. JL Snyder Cut. Suppose this should be in the DC thread really, just my two pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 So, I decided to do one more thing pre-surgery and go cinema... I wish I hadn't. Candyman (2021) This manages to commit the worst sin a horror movie possibly can. It is boring. There was a sizable crowd in the room with me and you could have heard a pin drop. You had several cliché tropes (note: not characters): Camp gay men, snotty art critic, racist cops etc etc some plotlines that went nowhere and were pure filler. Actors filling roles that seemed to be there for no reason either. The main plot is muddied at best and some of the narrative, while trying to be clever, is very preachy. It was nice for the two leads from the first Candyman (Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen, respectively) to have roles within the film too. The original Candyman wasn't exactly oscar winning, but it was entertaining. 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 So the new Dune movie is only half of the first book. Somehow I missed that info up until today. I guess that means I'll easily get far enough with the book until the movie releases. Early impressions seem rather positive so far, not that there was any doubt Villeneuve wouldn't direct a stinker. One review made me chuckle though when they mentioned it being "humorless". They must not have read the book because it's just as dry as the sand on Arrakis.

one-armed dwarf Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well tbh the trailer has people quipping and stuff which seems very different to the first half of the book which I did read. They ain't finishing this thing anyway, so I hope the second half of the book isn't absolutely incredible or anything. I hope it just sucks so I don't feel like I'm missing out. No idea what the situation for watching this is on this part of the planet tho. Obviously cinema is out of the question and we don't have HBO Max here. Do we have to put up with Sky Atlantic's terrible Now TV compression, I really hope not. I'll gladly play the inflated Disney + style pricing to watch this film if it is a good 4K stream, maybe throw in that dolby vision and see if I notice it this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just got a mail from our local cinema that Dune will release on the 15th September. In the US it comes out on the 22nd October, what's up with that? Maybe I should go watch it before the big internet flood of impressions pollutes my expectations in one way or another. But I don't want to go through all these Covid blockades... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 @HandsomeDead how do the sequels hold up? I was so excited to see them and then disappointed by them that I've never rewatched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
