It’s alright. It’s funny, though—lots of inside jokes that casual viewers won't get. Honestly, the whole "who started this war/brotherhood" subplot kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Still worth a watch if you have the time!👍
Not seeing it being any better than No Man's Land.

northernseal6 said:brightscout63, if you're thinking of that one movie about the guy losing his mind that picked up a few awards, then yeah, it's probably nothing special either.

Nah... I'm with you. But that's the point. We need something to actually break through and kill this bad reputation American cinema has right now. "Here" isn't going to do it...😢

driftingowl27 said:Nah, I was just waiting for some poser who doesn't even watch movies to start lecturing about them... :asshole:

I wouldn't be the first critic to pull that stunt...😳
But man, you're being extra. If your life is a mess, don't take it out on people on a forum. You're dealing with someone who actually gave a civilized 😁 response to my nonsense...
I couldn't care less if you were carrying water buckets on a movie set here. This place is going down, just like American cinema...
Yeah... It kind of stings seeing Canadians picking up all the awards...😛

What, you aren't used to people not sucking up to your garbage around here?!!😬

😁
I just have a massive allergy to those "surprisingly good American films" whenever critics start overhyping them and pre-emptively warning that "audiences might not get it."🙄 I saw the exact same tired commentary for things like Nola's sky satellite...
Plus, forcing myself to sit through an American movie is a struggle. 😢 Man... pure trauma...

p.s. my ears work just fine.😁

...I mean, I think what we have here is just some pseudo-intellectual art-nonsense on par with Nola's sky satellite.🙂
(I'll never forget that depiction of mindless chaos, looking like something Sedlar 🤮 put together)

The Dark Knight said:I’ve got a bunch of movies on disc and I'm wondering if they're actually worth my time. Here's the list: Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Blackout, The Phone Booth, Main Street, USA, The Mothman Prophecies, American Pie party planner, and Casanova.

Let's hear it. 😉 😁

My take:
Warner Bros. - pretty good.
Paramount Pictures - pretty good.
The Phone Booth - excellent.👍
Mothman - decent.
American Pie party planner and Casanova - total garbage.👎

D.P. said:...tons of clichés...

Clichés?
The movie is literally called Pirates of the Caribbean... You've got pirates going "aaargh"... drinking rum... singing about rum... pirates with eye patches... peg legs... some little animal sitting on the captain's shoulder... a pretty damsel... a stern officer... a romantic hero...
AND YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DAMN CLICHÉS!!!!
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping

Oops... My bad! I totally mistook him for Brad Pitt!!😵 😵 😵

Indigo Girls said:Johnny Depp always plays some dirty gutter rat

Yeah. In his dreams and everywhere else.🙄

William Morris2 said:Looking at him now, he’s just kind of boring me.....
No clue why he swept all those awards.🙄

🙂

I haven't even touched any of those "anthology" classics by Fellini, Kurosawa-esque directors, or Bergman-esque types... and the rest.
From my generation, 😁 I still haven't even sat through Natural Born Killers.

The Godfather
on ABC tonight.

Run to church and confess your sins!!🙂

Just kidding, but seriously, watch it sometime. You women just can't let things go like we can!😛 😁

ambercyclist14 said:You guys are just seeing this in theaters now?! Give me a break. We saw this back in Dallas like six months ago.

Who said I actually went to the theater to see it?😵
Besides, those posts above are already half a year old.

Caught it recently. It’s... fine. Actually pretty decent.👍 A little self-indulgent in spots, but whatever...
By the way, anyone else catch how Danny Boyle is low-key racist?!😲
I mean, besides the lead actress, there are basically only two Black characters in the whole thing. One is just some guy getting picked on by everyone, and the other is literally in chains!!😲

😁

One oldie but a goodie: Spanish Prisoner with Steve Martin.👍
Storytelling 8 I think that's how you spell it) is basically the same thing 👍

I don't think DJ Khaled is really part of The Roots. I don't exactly listen to him😛 , but I respect the hustle😛

Just go jump in a lake. Not because you actually enjoy listening to DJ Khaled, but because you keep starting these brainless threads.

Man, I didn't even realize the movie was feminist! Every woman I know is obsessed with it.😁

Steven Ruiz said:brightscout63, why do you think the movie drags? I thought it was pretty cool... hmmm... maybe it's just because I'm getting older. I guess when you're 20, you don't sweat the small stuff.

Heh. Thanks for the compliment, but I've still got some bite left in me...😁 🙂

Caught it yesterday. High production value, solid acting, directing, all that jazz... BUT MAN, IT’S A TOTAL BOMB!😠
