    I always digged this flick too, yea its in vein of a Dances with Wolves/Cruise blockbuster but still p good. I love when they show him bond with the family

    Cruise got clossics.

    Exactly. I think it’s great, and Tom does a pretty good job actually. Dude makes some killer movies, idc that he’s strange in real life lol.

    Blade Runner 2049 is Reddit: the Movie. Standard s***ty scifi flick that imitates arthouse aesthetics. It's the $20 Patek Phillipe imitation, the Chrysler 300 with Bentley badge, Ready Player One wrapped in Ulysses dust cover. A film by fedora for fedoras. It's the quintessential pseud movie. A pedestrian easily accessible scifi story covered in several coats of artistic cinematography and featuring just enough quasi-philosophical meandering to turn away both the ones looking for a fun flick and those looking for serious kino - it has become the Holy Grail of pseuds. Quite obviously more mentally stimulating than capeshit, yet never as much as to take the viewer out of the comfort zone of the usual evergreen scifi questions and babby's first existential crisis - it's the perfect cultural artifact to attach to for someone desperately longing for the image of "thinking man" or "cinephile", while not actually being interested in challenging their own thoughts or developing authentic taste. It's a movie for smart-but-lazy dropouts, for young adults who sincerely use the word "normie", for men with "So it goes" tattoos rereading Hitchhiker's Guide for the third time, for community college freshmen that write posts starting with "as an engineer", for "I love Nietzsche! Nihilism, f*** yeah!" people, for those that have buried themselves so deep in irony so they can't even be honest with themselves anymore. The sort who will make fun of ham-fisted Black Mirror VR episodes in one thread and expunge upon "deep" connotations of holographic waifu in 8000 character multiposts in another, the sort who get off on reddit gold received for their standard issue incoherent teenage "philosophizing" dreck spiced with 'human condition' and 'Hegelian dialectic', the enlightened-by-their-own-intelligence crowd. The painful kind of self-aware capeshit swine that constantly whines about the death of cinema while watching nothing but Hollywood and dismissing everything else as "pretentious".

    Hotel Mumbai, 9/10.

    Must watch, thoroughly recommend to everyone, can not believe it is based on true events.

  • Jul 22, 2020


    Decent heist movie w/ a predictable plot but still entertaining nonetheless. Forgot Jeremy Renner won an oscar for his role in this.

    I just finished watching Part 2 actually. But I’ve always kinda preferred Part 1 personally, but the kung fu training in Part 2 might be my favorite scene from both movies. Hard question

    I'd say 1 tbh, I know a lot of people don't really like Oren's (I think i remember was her name?) origin story & that anime switch

    I don’t even watch anime and I’ve always thought that part was dope as hell lol. That whole fight scene is insane
    I’d love to see the uncut version that doesn’t switch color.

    Stand By Me

    ngl this was my first time watching the whole thing from beginning to end. Was inspired to watch it in its entirety after someone in here posted a quote from the movie.

    Great coming of age story about four Japanese boys.

    8/10

    Just finished Underworld.
    First time watching. Im impressed this movie aged so well. The fights are very Matrix but other than that, I loved it. The pacing was a bit slow at times tho.
    Gonna start Underworld 2 in a few

    Sofia Coppola does not get enough credit

    I consider HER a top 2 film of 2010s but we cant forget she made it’s blueprint

    Virgin suicides..beguiled..somewhere

    She’s a master of the moody indie and something about that “art hoe” aesthetic all her female charactes have

    I see her akin to like a mike mills, in that tier

    Never seen or heard of this movie so I looked it up on Google to see more about it and the first thing that pops up is How did the boy die in Stand by Me!
