if I missed an Amy Adams wardrobe malfunction then I concede, I may actually be missing out on something haha.

(but seriously, I've never in my life watched an Oscar or Grammy or Emmy or whatever show.)

(I have watched some VMA performances in my life. Not the awards, but performances. Nothing stands out as memorable, though).

Totally agreed. I have seen you all posting about him in the past several weeks, and I am in total agreement with most of the comments. I still remember going to Ex Machina on the recommendation of a friend, knowing nothing about it. Got way hooked, and saw it in the theater 3 times total. I NEVER do that. Really excited to see what becomes of him.

We rented Ex Machina last week, and my expectations were low-ish for no real reason. I think just because I didn't really know much about it, but I just knew "hey, I like this kind of sci fi." I ended up finding the moving totally gripping, with excellent acting and thumbs-up tension. It's a pretty haunting movie that sticks with you after it's ended. I was super impressed. And later I was like "hey,holy shit... that was a great movie where only 3 people even had speaking roles." Quality shit.

Even before seeing this one, I think I had already stated that Annihilation was like the movie I was most excited about seeing this year?

what is What We Do In The Shadows?

I haven't seen Ragnarok yet unfortunately, but was gifted a digital copy this week, so I'll be watching it this weekend finally.

[ilduclo]

Given that What we do and thor were both by Watiti, we tried to watch thor. Nope, bailed after 5 minutes. No comic book movies for me. I'd rather read a book or listen to some music, cook, do just about anything. All that being said, I got sort of dragged to Black Panther and thought it was OK

What We Do in the Shadows is a vampire comedy. It is fucking GREAT, and certainly deserved the Oscar way above Dunkin Dunkirk!

[evollove]

Not a comic book movie dude either, and Thor seems like an especially boring character, but What We Do is a really great movie, so I might give it a shot. I can afford to waste five minutes.

I'm sure it's better than Duncrap. Then again, Spice World was better than anything Nolan ever made.

(We're just messing with Sev in good fun, right? Did I cross a line? I actually haven't seen Dunkirk.)

[Rob Instigator]

Thor is not good. it is fun, but not good.

What We Do In Shadows is so goddamn funny in making fun of every single vampire lore thang....man so funny
much better than Thor.

The worst part of Thor was watching the character Scourge using a "Shakeweight" to try and impress some lady Asgardians.

It is a mockumentary from New Zealand about 4 vampires that share a flat, and are invited to the annual Masquerade Ball, also attended by withes, zombies, but NOT werewolves.... hahahhahahah

I liked Dunkirk when it was called Saving Private Ryan

Taika Waititi announced that he and Jemaine Clement are working on a What We Do In Shadows television series that's going to be on FX. Not sure what that means for the feature sequel.

WEREWOLVES, not SWEARWOLVES!

Why do vampires prefer virgin blood?

"I think of it like this:

if you are going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it."

[Rob Instigator]

yes!

Stu is cool though....

[Rob Instigator]

In the IMDB trivia, it stated that Stu was a guy who was hired, as he thought, to do some data analysis, but instead got put in the film as a human who does data analysis. hahahaha. Awesome. Only non-actor of the bunch!
