I was watching it with my wife and was laughing pretty hard, she’d never seen it and asked when I had watched it with my dad, I told her when I was like 10-12 and told her that it was a pg-13/tv-14 rated movie, it drops the f-bomb a shit load, some sex, some alcohol, haha it’s great.
Lou: “You may run like Mays, but you hit like shit…”
That whole movie is rauchy gold … I might have been around that age when I first saw it … I’m 36 now but only remember watching on VHS
Mother in law is in town, so I’m going through my Netflix queue and hitting all of those MIL-appropriate movies I stashed there:
Blue Jasmine
Cate Blanchett is a formerly wealthy snob that falls on hard times and basically loses her mind. I only watched this because I love Cate Blanchett and Dice has a small role. It ended up being pretty good. Directed by Woody Allen, so you pretty much know what you’re getting.
7/10
Closed Circuit
Rebecca Hall and Eric Bana are lawyers in London representing an accused terrorist. They get surveilled and stuff. It’s ridiculous, and the ending basically throws the entire previous 90 minutes of movie in the garbage. Fuck this movie.
3/10
Know it’s not a movie that’s out. But I got real excited to see they’ve made a ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ movie produced by guillermo del toro…hopefully it’s at least PG-13 if not R. I know the books were folklore written for younger children but I’d like to see them on screen at R for the sheer terror that they instilled in me as a kid.
That book creeped me out when I first read them in 2nd grade and bought the original editions (not the new art-edited versions that have taken over recently.) Got the whole set of 3 for $15. My kids will thank me. Or hate me.
Watched Westside vs the world last night mixed feelings to be honest.
What mixed feelings? Purely curious, as I enjoyed it, felt like they told a good story, while encompassing the ‘feel’ of the gym, and Louie’s approach to his athletes and their relationships (the good and bad). I’m obviously not in the PL world and don’t know if any ‘fluff’ was added for effect or anything, but it seemed like a pretty level headed documentary about it?
In no way did I find it bad. On a certain level I found it depression.
I gotcha! yeah, I can definitely see that, it kind of felt like watching a breed of animal go extinct…I would love to watch/see/witness a Chuck squat day after watching the documentary, I do not want, in any way, shape, or form to be a part of one, but I would love to see it, haha.
Well I felt bad for Louie. The reality being the sport is changing and is moving on without him. Either he can’t or won’t change .
I haven’t watched it. I don’t agree with cutting any of the girl or gay scenes other than Captain Marvel’s. If they release a Blu Ray version with only the Captain Marvel scenes removed, I’ll be the first to buy it.
But I seriously, I mean SERIOUSLY LOLED at this when I read the list of edits:
I lost it right there. The Ancient One got scared of the Hulk hahahahahahah!!! Tilda fucking Swinton took one look at him and thought “that’s too much man for me! Fuck the universe! I’ll be in the kitchen if you’re looking for me!” BWAHAHAHHAHA!!!
Then I read:
“The listing also happens to contain a string of neo-Nazi edgelord talking points and red flags”
This writer is the loser SJW, and a little smarter version of greenboy. They’re all the same, just supporting different ideologies.
In all my hours spent internetting I still have no idea what an edge lord is … what a strange little term
I just assumed it was video game slang or something.
I don’t understand the hate for Captain Marvel/Brie Larson.
But, then again, I don’t understand the MRA/incels/whatever the hell they’re supposed to be so I guess it’s not terribly surprising that I don’t understand.
Are they the same people who hated Furiosa?
I don’t recall any hate for Furiosa. Was there? I assumed the Xena fanboys would have been slobbering over her.
Captain Marvel just sucks as a character. I don’t know Brie Larson so I have no feelings about her.
There was some online hate for the film because Furiosa was essentially the main protagonist of the film. Some people apparently couldn’t stand the fact that a film titled Mad Max didn’t have him as the main protagonist.
The hate doesn’t seem to be as virulent as the one for Captain Marvel, but I’m starting to think that’s because misogyny on the internet has grown since then.
It could probably be justified without bringing up misogyny. I’m not a Mad Max fan so I don’t have strong feelings about him being the main character or not. But I watched an interview with Tarantino where he said he boycotted the movie because of this and the character not being played by Mel Gibson, then when he finally folded and watched it, he watched it several times over a weekend.
I really don’t agree with this having to do with a rise in misogyny. I think it’s a backlash against one sided politics shoehorned into existing franchises that people have grown up with. Half the audience was getting slapped in the face because they voted for the other guy when they watch The Last Jedi. The effect of this caused them to boycott Solo, which wasn’t something that should have flopped.

From what I understand, Tarantino is also a weirdo and an incredible cinephile. I can understand why he initially didn’t want to watch Fury Road and then watched it several times over a weekend after he finally gave it a try.
In any case- I mis-wrote with my earlier statement- What I should have written is that people couldn’t stand the fact that Furiosa was essentially the main protagonist.
? What one sided politics got shoehorned into Fury Road?
I’m still not sure how that can be interpreted as misogynist. Mad Max has always been a male fantasy flick. Male fans of the franchise lived vicariously through the protagonist. Changing the gender of the main protagonist spoils the experience for some men since they can’t do that anymore. It’s not unreasonable for them to react like that.
I wasn’t referring to Fury Road. Fury Road had lots of progressive themes but they focused on making a good movie instead pushing the politics. However, If someone got pissed that the protagonist was changed for the reason I wrote above, he would probably suspect it was because of modern day feminism, While I agree with several aspects of feminism, the ones who are most vocal and say the dumbest things are the vocal minority shouting the loudest on the internet. They are mostly SJWs. Because of the way information is displayed and spread online, it makes it seem like there are a lot more of these loons than reality.
Instead of misogyny, I would look at it as a backlash against internet SJWs and the fringe lunatics. SOME people are just stupid, though. Go read the beta orbiter thread.
John Wick 3
More fighting and killing than the first 2 movies put together. The deaths are even funnier here, like in The Night Comes for Us, but far less gory. There’s a scene involving a lot of knives being thrown around that almost gave me an asthma attack from laughing. The last bosses from The Raid 1 and 2 are in it and you can see how tiny these fellows are. You can toss them around like rag dolls and they’ll still be up and bouncing around. Mark Dacascos still has sick moves. How old is this guy lol? 50s?
It’s a lot of fun. There’s no real plot or any character development of any kind. It’s just John Wick killing people in creative ways with more complex fight choreography. After watching the first 2 movie, you should know what you’re signing up for when you enter the cinema so there’s nothing anyone can whine about.
John wick 3 was AMAZING
