The Official Movie Thread

[TageRyche]

I went to see the documentary What We Left Behind: Looking Back At Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the theater tonight. As a huge Star Trek Deep Space Nine fan, it was a wonderful treat to see this film and I loved it.

From what i know it is supposed to be a dark or black comedy of sorts. Its a remake of a Norwegian(?) movie called In Order of Disappearance. I guess I'll find out in a little bit

Spoiler

Yeah I've seen the original at some scandinavian movie festival. It was great and I'm not sure why the same director has to make a US remake?

I like Liam Neeson, don't get me wrong.

I watched Insomnia last night (directed by Nolan) which was coincidentally also a remake of a Norwegian film.

NW:



One of those 80's canon pieces everybody/everything seems to reference that I've never seen.

Looks fun.
Hopefully lots of chaos and destruction

Filming for the Black Widow movie starts in June according to Johansson herself. I rarely get excited for upcoming comic book movies anymore but this is one I've been wanting since the MCU started.

when Guardians was still filming someone involved in production of that movie said that guardians got green-lit as a straight-up, flat-out, INSTEAD OF a black widow movie getting green-lit, but then everyone forgot about that "leak" because guardians vol 2 officially got a release date a whole fucking week before anyone even actually saw the first one

there was a way-the-fuck earlier version of captain america winter soldier that didn't even have black widow in it at all
but then she ended up getting such a fucking huge-ass amount of screen-time in this movie as a flat-out instead of an actual legit "black widow" movie

Captain Marvel actually got green-lit as a straight-up instead of a black widow movie

IIRC black widow movie didn't even actually get fucking green-lit until after Captain Marvel actually started fucking filming

someone at the top really hates Natasha Romanova

New John Wick is awesome. Better than the 2nd and almost on par with the first.

 

[Slammed]

That's good to hear. I wasn't a fan of the second one and I was hoping they didn't completely screw the pooch by making the third.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the first two were both good in their own ways. the first one explores the lore in a much cooler way and just feels like a more fully formed world and story, the second one is emptier but a more vibrant sensory experience with a higher quantity of memorable action sequences. both well above average for what they are, but yeah i lean toward the first one as well, i'm hoping the new one is more like that if pompey loves it.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I felt the second one was lacking in world & character building compared to the first and this one brought a lot of that back, while still having probably the best action sequences in the whole series.

 

[CiG]

2 definitely suffered from sophomore slump, though I still enjoyed it, it also felt kinda like a mess at times.

 

[challenge_everything]

Wow, I couldn't even finish the first John Wick. It felt like every hackneyed assassin/revenge cliche rolled into one movie with no sense of self-awareness or fun.

 

[CiG]

It was definitely a love letter to those kinds of films, and I disagree I think it was very self-aware of that fact. It was also fun as fuck, not sure what the hell you're on about.

 

[Krow]

Not sure what you do for fun if John Wick isn’t fun to you.

John Wick was fucking awesome

Not sure what you do for fun if John Wick isn’t fun to you.

The old chestnut trotted out in defence of every idiotic movie.

My idea of fun isn't watching a movie exclusively comprised of scenes I feel I've seen verbatim a hundred times before.

Blurry Dreams likes it. QED it's a shit movie.

 

[CiG]

Pretentious asshole dislikes it, probably rules and is very fun.

 

[challenge_everything]

Oh fucking spare me CIG. Two of my favourite movies are Kill Bill and Get Carter. Woo, Besson etc do these kind of movies with style.

I'd even rather watch a Liam Neeson vehicle.
