Official thread about the movie you just saw

Don't think I've even heard of that series, but defs didn't watch it.
 
Saw Air tonight. Enjoyed it. There were some nice references to Nike’s history that weren’t explicitly laid out like pictures of Prefontaine and Bill Bowerman’s waffle sole.
 
Watched Cry-Baby for the first time all the way through even though it felt like I had seen it. Low stakes fun spoof, it was John Waters’ birthday so why not, it’s also a favorite of an old high school friend/crush of mine, so had to put the vibes out for her.

Then watched the 1969 Marlowe with James Garner as Marlowe and Rita Moreno as a tempting mysterious exotic dancer type and it was great. One of my favorite Marlowe movies, really. Worth checking out if you are into that stuff.
 
Trying to find something the boy would enjoy ans watched Valerion and the city of 1000 planets. Oh boy. Just don't. Bad tropes. Fairly sexist. Bad "love story." Rihana playing a shape shifting alien hooker/stripper for a stretch that I had to fast forward through it was so long. At one point the female costar (that kept saving the day) was in another skirt and my wife said, "someone get her some pants." Son said, "they won't because this movie is sexist."
 
It's Shirley MacLaine's birthday (89), and I don't really think about her that much, and feel like she was kind of the butt of jokes growing up because of astrology or some weird reincarnation beliefs or something, but I just want to shout out her performances in The Apartment and Being There, both of which I only saw for the first time in the last couple of years -- she's great in both, raw and vulnerable in different ways 20 years apart, and she kills it. Two great performances up there with anyone.
 
Another big birthday. Al! "There was this sound she made."



But I go to this a lot just to laugh.

 
Seen a few references suggesting the latest John Wick movie is good. Having seen none of the first three, I figured I should start with the first one. Watched it yesterday. Very violent and illogical, or not believable, story. I thought the casting and acting were done well. Not sure I'll go on to number two...? What do you say? Do they get better...or about the same?
 
If John Wick 1 doesn't work for you none of them will. They don't all of a sudden become grounded and subtle at any point.
 
Watched Confess, Fletch yesterday and found it perfectly charming and fun. Hamm's not Chevy Chase, but was pretty good. It's slightly less straight gag comedy than the OG Fletch was at times (which I also just randomly recently watched -- think I was watching Joe Don Baker movies or something, I don't even remember why I watched it), but a nice, quick 90+, low stakes good times entertainment. Neat to see Hamm and Slattery back together.

I then started Licorice Pizza, which was fine for a bit and then just kind of drifted and lost focus and I also lost focus and turned it off, so will have to catch the last 30 another time. Kind of underwhelming coming from PTA, tbh.

Movies with deaconsOnSon
 
watched The Banshees of Inisherin on the plane and it's not a bad movie but not sure the allegory could be more heavy, uh, handed
 
I wanna hear y’all’s thoughts on Infinity Pool

weird flick but maybe too predictable?
 
If you could only pick 1 summer blockbuster, are you watching Oppenheimer, Barbie, Indiana Jones or Mission Impossible?

I’m a sucker for series, so I’m going MI. Will likely end up in all 4 theaters. All potentially very different 4DX experiences.
 
I'm still trying to figure out how the development of the nuclear bomb is a 3+ hour blockbuster.

I might see Barbie and Mission Impossible.

I guess you all are more for stories about white men facing their demons or crap like that.

Barbie looks like a fun weird quirky feminist stuff. MI is fun action with my girl Hayley Atwell.
