turns out this is super rare physically. I got a copy off ebay though. Still moves for $20 in region 1 dvd format. Crazy.

ron the dial 11-10-2022 09:33 PM

i didn't walk away thinking it bared a repeat anytime soon. it's very unsettling and sits with you for a while.

k. Itll be a bit. My tv time is pretty structured. I pick 1 thing a group of friends and i watch and then the next day we talk it over. Like a movie club i guess. If not a film we watch an ep of a series. Itll be atleast 11 days before i work it in at the soonest. Assuming i have a copy by then.

If its not streaming anywhere ill watch it sooner though since theyd have no means of watching it.

I have a region free but i always try to buy region 1 if i can help it. That way it plays off any player i have. More versatile

ron the dial 11-10-2022 09:37 PM

no rush at all. i have a list of my own that never ends these days.

Good fucking Lzzy, this thing has almost no soul to it. Everything seems like it's hitting points out of obligation more than anything else. I don't get the inclusion of the performer that befriends Pinocchio in Stromboli's show or why they made Monstro an actual fucking sea monster, either. What was wrong with just a whale? Plus, outside of a couple of good performances, Keegan-Michael Key as 'Honest' Jon in particular, no one is really bringing anything with a lot of weight to the story. Tom Hanks is trying, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt does a fair job with his impersonations but the whole package just comes across as awkward. I have a TON of questions about Pleasure Island, too. Like, do the people just replace all of the glass the kids smash after every venture? How lucrative is this donkey-selling business if they can maintain this kind of upkeep? Yeah, I know, it's a story about a fucking puppet coming to life, but come on. These live-action films just keep striking out and I have almost no confidence in The Little Mermaid.

Thankfully, I was able to cleanse my palette with Toy Story 4 afterwards. I mean, I'd already seen it but it was still a welcome viewing.

You couldn't have it be a whale in this day and age and get away with it. People would be crying out about racism against whales, portraying one as a "monster". If they made Moby Dick these days, he would be a sea monster too.

"The Terrible Dogfish is a dogfish-like sea monster, which appears in Carlo Collodi's 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio as one of the main antagonists and the final one."

was it a dogfish? it sounds like it's a dogfish in guillermo del toro's but i can't confirm that. obviously haven't seen this one either.

Lock Jaw 11-11-2022 12:11 AM

This sea-monster had tentacles.... was more akin to that creature in Lord of the Rings outside Moria

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 3 and 1/2 stars out of 4.

Emotional is the one word that I can use to describe the whole experience. Right from the get go, the film is ready to take those tears from you. If you've got a date that's been invested in these characters and is prone to crying, you can get some major brownie points being the big strong man.

What they do with 'Atlantis' and the people is worth the price of admission alone. The back story of Namor is pretty clever with its changes even though it'll undoubtedly ruffle the feathers of a few purists.

Practically everything and everyone serves a purpose and means something. The inclusion of Riri Williams isn't as awkward as you might've expected, but arguably Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett carry the emotional load here. Granted things kind of settle into the typical Marvel climax but it's earned and really not what's important here. It's all about the struggles of these characters and it's just one big reveal after another, especially with a major punch to the gut in the mid-credits scene. By the way, it's the only post-movie scene so don't fret too much about staying after. Ultimately it's a great send off and a great way for anyone needing some closure on the Chadwick Boseman situation. I can safely call this being up there with No Way Home as being one of the best films of Phase 4.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 2/5

This probably could have been better if they hung on and tweaked this a bit more after Chad Boseman's death.

The bad batch of popcorn I got just made the time a bit worse.

Anyone ever watched (1980) The Hollywood Knights?

Old man at work wanted me to order it for him at work today so I ordered him the DVD. I was like uhhh, is it like Porky's ? I need to stop wandering into the warehouse.

Seanny One Ball 11-12-2022 03:31 PM

No but now I want to watch it to see a young Michelle Pfeiffer

Seanny One Ball 11-12-2022 03:37 PM

That sent me down a wormhole to find some film my uncle once told me to watch but it’s too obscure to actually buy so you have to stream it on YouTube or Dailymotion.
I’m pretty sure it was “King Frat” but I feel like the name isn’t wild enough. I know it was about a farting competition.

slik 11-13-2022 01:28 AM

Barbarian - 8/10

Very creative and original

Seanny One Ball 11-13-2022 11:52 AM

I can’t be arsed watching the whole thing but “Fire Of Love” has one of the best shot endings in documentary history.
If you know that it’s about two dead volcanologists then you might as well skip to the end and see that footage.
Beautiful.

Destor 11-13-2022 04:11 PM

Black Panther 2 - 5/10

What a slog. They could have cut half the run time and half the characters and the film wouldnt have changed. Namor was cool in action but aestheticlly unappealing. There's a lot wrong with the movie. Hated the score. I could shit on the film for being as bad as it is but everyone who watches will pick up on it on their own. There's really no need.

Still better than Eternals

Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm

I watched it so you guys don't have to.

Although if you like Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1/Aqua Something You Know Whatever/Aqua TV Show Show/Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever or Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters....or if you are just really fucking wasted, then I highly recommend it.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 8.5/10

Really enjoyed it. Haven't left a Marvel movie thinking "I'd watch that again" since Eternals.

Didn't really care for the first Black Panther movie and wasn't expecting much from this one, but it surprised me and ended up being good.

Lock Jaw 11-18-2022 10:51 PM

Disenchanted - 6/10

Mostly just feels like an excuse for Disney+ content. Some fun ideas and a few good songs, but none as good as the first movie. Story a lot weaker than the first one too, and almost undermines the whole "concept" with the "real world" not really feeling like the real world, even before the wish.

Heat taught me that one scene really can define a whole film for certain cinema viewers. It should be remembered for the strength of the performances, but even I cannot get enough of that robbery scene. It’s the best thing Tom Sizemore ever got anywhere near.

Loved him as Dallas.

Seanny One Ball 11-19-2022 04:31 PM

I’m trying to think how he ever got famous in the first place. We lose the great character actors like Bruno Kirby and get stuck with trash like Sizemore.

He was glorious in Heat though. Everybody in Heat was.

A Christmas Story Christmas...heyyyy, it wasn't half bad!

Seanny One Ball 11-21-2022 12:16 AM

Yeah I saw that was available.

I have to watch it but I am a bit apprehensive so a good review is appreciated. I will watch it soon because I know Frank Drebin will come back for it.

Seanny One Ball 11-21-2022 12:16 AM

He will

rez 11-21-2022 01:27 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the OG Christmas Story. Peeps absolutely make it unbearable since the story takes place in Indiana. Then you have TBS 24 hour marathon. At least this is a fresh take taking place in the early 1970s.

rez 11-21-2022 01:29 AM

The actual house is in the Cleveland, Ohio area and the fictional town is based on Hammond, Indiana which is basically a hop skip over to Chicago, Illinois.

rez 11-21-2022 01:32 AM

Home Alone was in Winnetka, Illinois (Chicago sub) with mentions of South Bend, Indiana. A lotta the classic Xmas movies seemed to love the heart of the Midwest.

Every time I see Slap Shot I feel like it’s the first time.
Paul Newman is my all time acting hero and he swears like a trooper in it. It’s so weird.
