Do not, under any circumstances pay any money to see Keanu. Terrible.

Three jokes, the cutest movie cat of all time, and a dumpster fire of a "movie." Pretty disappointing from K&P.

I was very disappointed in them as well. Maybe because they stand next to LOTR.
I wonder if you could see them in a vacuum how they'd be?

pretty sure i heard/read a while back that peter jackson was not originally involved directly with the hobbit movies, exec prod or something. there was another director/creative head that pulled out late. jackson had to jump in and work with the other person's vision/script etc. he had a very short time to try and make it work. clearly they were not up to standards and he was disappointed.

I disagree with you
he wasn't, it was Guillermo del Toro (barf)

yeah, the entire movie is based on the premise "we are dorky black guys, we have to sound hard around these street black guys so we will say the Nword and use a bunch of other ghetto terminology, but remember we are dorky so it will be awkward and see that is funny."
That goes on for an hour and a half. Nope.

The Lobster is also not good. Great premise and lots of funny/absurdist moments in the first 45 mins, but it has no idea how to land the plane and completely flies off the rails in the last 30 minutes, which it didnt even need to wrap up the story. C-

It was supposed to be two films: one would be the Hobbit, the other covering the time between Hobbit and LOTR. Then PJ took over and said The Hobbit would be split in two then later revised it to three. The original plan was what I was most looking forward to.

yeah well we lost that director. like many artists, once PJ got stinking rich and fatter, he lost his mojo
is he even working on anything these days?

i dunno, from all accounts making LOTR was a pretty grueling process. the studio begged him to fix Hobbit and he said fuck it; we have CGI and I only have one life to live

I was trying to beef up my historical viewings this weekend and watched Mean Streets. You can certainly see some of the techniques Scorsese would use for later movies, but man what a bore.

Mean Streets definitely wins the award for movie with the most dudes touching other dudes faces though

Saw Hell or High Water tonight and it was great. The plot was gripping, the writing was excellent (writer of Sicario), the cinematography was beautiful, and the ensemble cast didn't disappoint. David McKenzie has directed 3 movies that I consider great: Perfect Sense, Starred Up, and now this.

I loved it, too, but that ending scene was so horrible.
