just watched the trailer...wtheck
I remember when somebody in here first posted about it. I love love love that somebody's making and getting that produced. Looks whackadoo incredible.
Interesting- I wouldn’t go that far but I was disappointed by it. I actually thought it would be a little sexier but it was just kind of mean and gross.
Mean and gross, definitely. I thought ill cast, poorly paced and written. It wasn't about tennis, it was about control...and I guess an interesting story could have been there if it was focused on zendayas character. But it spread itself out to the two guys (who I found weakly written, casted and performed) way too much to make that happen. But other than those things, it was a movie I guess.
The tennis was definitely just the context for which the “love” triangle was staged. I really didn’t like the sleazy never made it big lead actor. Didn’t like the actor or character and didn’t see at all what his appeal to Zendaya would be. Especially after his career washed out. It was fine, I was entertained but she definitely carried the movie. I was especially disappointed with Mike Faisal (Zendaya’s husband). He was so electric in West Side Story but just didn’t seem to work from his role or at least not anywhere near the way he did in WSS. I hope he finds the right role next next as he does have something.
I found it really post produced and fake. I'm watching floppinha play 2-3x week, so I may be too hyper aware of what it actually looks like.
would be to torture someone on their last day on death row.This movie is outstanding! Absolutely hilarious and filmed like a live action looney tunes cartoon with all the facial expressions, gags and "ka-boing" stuff. Original, well paced, well acted, funny and different. Never thought I'd be this charged over a movie dominated by furries on camera.
Now watch Megalopolis. Or, better yet, Joker: Folie à Deux.
Not even when I'm on my death bed and am blind and deaf
Ok, ok... Take iron giant and mix it with ET and Open Season.../producer pitch
It is, very easy to love movie
Absolutely love Army of Shadows- hell anything Melville rules
I don't know if you caught the main message, but the movie is more about gender dysphoria and the sense of isolation that occurs before finding salvation in finally becoming a transsexual.
I watched all three kinda by accident when I was just looking for filler during workouts. I thought this one was the best of the bunch.
Yeah, I missed that. I see how reframing it through that lens works. It certainly makes the ending for both characters feel different. If it was meant to show that feeling to people who have no experience with it, it might have been too subtle.
I checked a very reliable source (Wikipedia) that said he did that to at least one victim.
LOL. What were her thoughts on these movies?
Someone's not a fan of the extra square footage.
Have watched 6th and Lambs recently with 13yo floppinha, and she liked both (6th more than lambs). I don't even know Barbarians... What is?
Starts as an AirBnB mixup, turns weird - check it out. Good Jason Long minor character - what an odd career that guy has had.
Cregger got the idea for the first part from the book The Gift of Fear, and wanted to write something where it was a bit of the opposite. Then, as you said, it gets a bit weird. I still say it's one of the best horrors of the decade and it became one of my favorites period. I've seen waaaay too many horror movies, so anything new that makes tense and jump and makes me laugh that hard is held in very high regard.
Barbarian might be a little more scary than the other 2 listed. It’s more of a traditional horror film.
Liked all 3. Barbarian the twist in the middle she was like WTF is going on but she was really into it, I think probably her favorite. Next I would say was Silence. She thought the face ambulance scene was shocking. She was way more terrified of Bill and his basement though. She said we freaking out with Jodie went down there.6th Sense she was either a little more tired or just wasn’t as entertained. I saw her getting sleep a few times. I don’t think she thought the twist was all that great. She didn’t see it coming but she just didn’t seem impressed either. She didn’t quite get it at first and then eas just like “oh ok”.
I wonder if something like the twist of Sixth Sense is so famous that it just seeps into people's heads. I bag on M.Night a bit, but I am still impressed with how well made that movie is, from script to directing to acting. I think a few things are still freaky as well.
Have you seen Tusk before? If not, I’d watch that. If so, I can see not wanting to watch it again.
I have not. I avoided it when it came out, and since then have really soured on Kevin Smith in general so never had much of a desire to circle back to it.
Lol... I'm pretty sure we watched that one. So that's how little we thought of it.
