Haha been awhile since I watched it but Goon does indeed rule.

Happy to see some Inside Out love, possibly my fave Pixar. Would put it right up there with Spiderverse for my favorite animations this decade.

I made a first pass at a top 20 a couple days ago, still a work in progress. 1. Mad Max: Fury Road 2. The Tree of Life 3. Blade Runner 2049 4/5. Parasite/The Irishman (still punting which one I prefer this year) 6. Toni Erdmann 7. Moonlight 8. Upstream Color 9. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping 10....

Dolemite is my Name. Netflix was shoving this one at me hard, and I finally gave in and watched it. If you haven't yet, you should. Now I want to watch the original Dolemite movie. Me complaining about any movie after I watched Dolemite is My Name https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJistd2WwAEDsdf?format=...

But just to comment on the mastery of storytelling that you guys mention, the entire sequence from Lee stepping on the mine to the point where all four of them are hopping around on one leg like schoolboys was just a gorgeous vignette of how a friendship springs from unlikely circumstance. By the e...

The shot of the slow fade to the umbrella. The beautiful shots of them every time they were in the tall grain. Good post in general, I agree with pretty much all of it. The whole sequence when they are disarming the mine in the tall grain was excellent. Even though we know they survive, it keeps up...

Yeah some awkward English acting and exposition aside, this movie pretty much rules. The four leads do a really good job of all seeming like distinct characters but selling the underlying friendship that makes the whole thing work. Song Kang-Ho is God. The framing as a mechanism I actually didn't mi...

Being kind of facetious here but isn't Pritchard basically the good guy? Sure it seems like he's motivated by a completely insane devotion to his boss but maybe he just sees a convenient out to eliminate Yuri, and he turns out to be right. Of course this goes out the window when he executes the whee...

This was kind of a blast to me because I felt it was a really bad movie and a really good movie mashed together. The first act with Costner in softcore super seduction mode is legitimately awful. I don't think there's anything particularly problematic about it, everything seemed consensual to me, it...

Make sure to watch Mr. Boogedy to trick Disney into remaking it. Just put it on mute in the background.

Mike, I definitely think that's all fair. At the same time I think at the end of the day we, like Jong-Su, can still only speculate as to Ben's guilt. Even if we are pretty sure, there is still a chance that the final scene is not an act of vengeance but a murder out of jealousy. I found an intervie...

Also, of course Ben killed her. He's a serial killer. He keeps souvenirs of each of his victims. What's an alternate theory? Great posts all alot of good points being made. So obviously there is plenty of evidence to indict Ben, but then also as Mike says, there is nothing concrete and there are mo...

Stray thoughts and quotes: Hae-Mi dancing to Miles Davis is an iconic movie moment. It cracks me up that Jong-Su is irritated that Ben "listens to music while he cooks pasta." Classic rich person behavior. "There's no country for women." Probably the biggest criticism I have seen...

I even enjoyed the languid pace of it, which normally starts bothering me after so many minutes focusing on trees in the middle distance... but here it worked for me. I think because it highlighted the isolation and disconnectedness of our protagonists. Yeah, I picked up on that alot on this rewatc...

Hey all I know this movie won't be for everyone but I think it is a masterpiece and it was one of my favorites from 2018, so I hope some of y'all got something out of it. I think there is a ton to talk about this movie as it's purposefully ambiguous but the first question I ask people is: Do you thi...

And I get their motivations: stupid people doing stupid things because they're stupid. Couldn't disagree with this more. do you think the romance between Paltrow and John C was arranged by Hall? Yeah 100%. And it makes sense for both of them too. Reilly is orphaned and looking for a family from the...

I personally think that he was motivated by guilt at first but he has really grown to love John by the end of the movie, but that's really well put and I can see your reading too. Post your PTA rankings if you have em. Of course, all of these are all great to me regardless of ranking. I still haven'...

He's methodical in the way he gambles. Small, smart bets. The Keno scene! The vibes I'm looking to reach in life is Sydney chillin at the casino, drinkin a scotch, smokin a cig, doin a crossword puzzle, and checkin his keno card. The only two times we see or hear about him betting big (Jimmy's flas...

Borderline masterpiece, one of the best gambling-adjacent movies ever. Mostly a character study of GOD Phillip Baker Hall, never better, but really everyone is great. I particularly like Jackson's performance, he comes off as a slimy huckster to me, like someone pretending to be a "cool" S...
