this talk of scarlett reminds me that ghost in the shell has been out some time now. seen the trailer. looks real, lol. but yeah i gotta get that.

I hear it’s TERRIBLE. But I’m a fan of the manga and original movie, so there’s really no chance a clunky American adaptation is going to win me over. Well, I suppose there’s some chance. Like... if they had cast that girl from Game of Thrones and Iron Fist... uhh... Jessica something? Anyway, she’s a gorgeous Asian girl who knows karate and shit and would have been excellent.

I like Scarlet too, and she’s cool in those Marvel flicks, but she’s particularly cool in Wntwr Soldier because she isn’t just a pair of oiled up boobs. She has thoughts and motivations and stuff.

Anyway, I just think Winter Soldier is one of those “superhero” movies that actually packs a wallop, and is charged up and badass in a non-superheroey way. WAY better than the depictions of Cap in the first one or his ridiculous stupid spandex costume in the first Avengers (that moment made me ashamed to be a “Cap Guy.”)

Oh hey have you seen UNDER THE SKIN? Such a goddamn amazing movie, with SO much Scarlet in it. I’ll say no more, in case you haven’t seen it. But if that’s the case... SEE IT!

ETA: OK, it’s Jessica Henwick — the girl from GoT who should have been in Ghost in The Shell — and she’s Chinese, not Japanese but still... Scarlet aside, tell me this girl wouldn’t have been a better choice for GITS:

!@#$%! · 12.30.2017, 12:36 PM

das raciss!!

the chinese don’t look like the japanese at all

—

anyway i saw the trailer and scarlett has the kusanagi look from the anime and whoever plays batou is totally batou just maybe fatter cuz his anime proportions are not real

also that girl’s face is too wide for the part. at the cheekbones. but great cheekbones.

have never read the manga tho. anime only.

yeah under the skin was great.

deflinus · 12.30.2017, 09:27 PM

pretty great flick. i felt like it came and went and no one talked about it.
emotional and nostalgic. it hit the spot.

I didn't see a ton of 2017 releases this year. When it comes to picking my top 5 of 2017 I can't put movies I haven't seen yet on the list. I've not seen Blade Runner 2049, I've not seen Logan. So while I acknowledge that I can't guarantee that I wouldn't have put those films on my top 5 of the year, I also have to say that there is no saying those films would have bumped the 5 movies I am including.

T2 was okay. The feelgood ending felt tacked on, but it was pretty true to the characters and had some great dialog.

Thoughts on the Shape of Water? Guillermo Del Toro seems to suck as often as he not-sucks.

LifeDistortion · 12.31.2017, 01:45 PM

I'm a big fan of Del Toro's so even the movies that people generally dislike of his I like, so I'm not the most impartial critic. I liked Pacific Rim and Crimsom Peak. As for The Shape of Water I've only seen it once, but after I saw it I said it might be his second best film, only behind Pan's Labyrinth. The Shape of Water is Del Toro finally melding his artistic side with his mainstream Hollywood success. I can't wait to see it again.

did/do you like the strain, though?

i loved the first season, the second went down, third was such a chore to sit in front of that i filled its pockets with rocks and let it sink to the bottom

LifeDistortion · 12.31.2017, 02:44 PM

I've never seen The Strain, I know of it, but its not a series I've heard a lot of people talk about, so I don't know what the general feeling is on it. I've never read the books they are based on either.

!@#$%! · 12.31.2017, 04:05 PM

it’s a del toro thing, which is why i asked

i used to think he could do no wrong, and this included everything from cronos to pan to pacific rim, but with the strain.... eh... starts great though! season 1 is awesome.

LifeDistortion · 12.31.2017, 04:17 PM

Have you read the books they are based off of? Being on a network, even one like FX, you're still dealing with network execs, so who knows if the series is his full vision, or maybe the show just doesn't work. I mean he did his vampire thing on Blade 2, and that one's considered the best of the Blade movies from what fans say.

!@#$%! · 12.31.2017, 04:24 PM

books about vampires? lol no. the last one of those was interview with the vampire back in the 90s— but the movie i avoided because ugh.

i didn’t know he did blade 2!! yeah i remember liking it.

not a fan of vampire shit in general— depends on the story, not the creatures (so yes to buffy no to... what’s the name of that children’s movie of last decade... rrrr... something... she marries one... anyway...) exception made for the ones with kate beckinsale in a rubber suit which are shit but— kate beckinsale in a rubber suit!

the jim jarmusch movie was also cool.

but anyway, the strain... holy shit what a nosedive that took

ADULT WORLD - a ridiculous girl who wants to be a poet gets a job at a porno/sex shop. it was okay, especially if you were an english major—but john cusack was hilarious in it. some things felts like they were missing but finally you get those bits in the deleted scenes. that would make it too long but the story would work better. dilemma.

This was just a one-time watcher for me. I couldn't get into it enough to repeat. Maybe it's the whole poetry thing. Just not my interest compared to other forms of writing.

That said, I am near the end of my recent re-watch of the original Star Wars trilogy.

!@#$%! · 01.02.2018, 12:18 AM

yeah, i wouldn’t rewatch it either. except for the cusack bits!

THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE

Surprisingly, this was actually a really fun movie, and a really good kids Batman movie too. Even with my encyclopedic knowledge of Batman, I could NOT keep up with all the references. Good fun, and legitimately funny.

i saw the lego movie “last year” and enjoyed most of it— the lego part, not the real human part.

have the batman lined up for some future stupid fun

PUMPING IRON

this movie is hilarious! and disturbing. and hilarious.

i’ve been hearing about it for ages but never saw it before. arnold was a total ham way before his hollywood career. of course he had to go on to be the terminator. ha ha ha!

very good docudrama, and thankfully short. not because i needed it to end fast but because movies that take too long ruin themselves. with exceptions of course.

Rob Instigator · 01.04.2018, 09:29 AM

the wife and I went and saw this on matinee. $5. I had rewatched the star wars prequels during winter break delirious on stiky iky, and man did they suck like I remmebered. there were some good things but man....

sooo, watching this one, Last Jedi, was awesome. had a blast.
