TV/Movies Megathread

Regarding Hell or High Water, I was a bit more skeptical about [spoiler]the trick to exchange the money for casino chips in order to launder it. I mean, these guys come and exchange several thousand in petty cash. That should raise some eyebrows surely?  [/spoiler]

About it being a modern Western, my favorite moment was indeed when [spoiler]they rob the last bank, a gunfight ensues with the very armed local population, and they end up being chased by a posse in pick up trucks.[/spoiler]

For the modern Western thing, I also liked [spoiler]the whole cowboy-and-Indian thing they had going on - both with the native "sidekick" of the marshal, and the Comanche - something like "the name Comanches have for other people is 'enemy'. What does that make you?" - "I guess that makes me a Comanche" [/spoiler]

Overall, I thought it was very well done.

Yeah, it was also very tidily tied into the film's main theme. It's one of those scripts where there really aren't many moving parts but everything just falls into place. All in all a very good film.

It's back!

I needed a light hearted movie. So I watched Fury. I had a boner.

HEY SHOOT THAT GUY

That was the best part  Yeah the SS cocksucker



WHY SO SOUR, KRAUT

[Admiral Yi]

Watching West World premier right now.  I had low expectations and they're easily surpassed.  Lots of good tits too.

Just had a chat with a distributor in a film fest, and he commented that apparently Nicholas Cage is huge in South Korea. Is that true Tim?

My name is Hollywood, look on my works ye mighty, and despair:

Emojimovie: Express Yourself unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer). Together, they embark on an epic "app-venture" through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it's deleted forever.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away

And I thought the Trolls movie that I see advertised around town was bad.

James Corden is in that as well. He's certainly milking his 15 minutes of transatlantic fame.

Hell, I'd give him a full hour to milk, just so long as he then disappears into obscurity.

I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke, good to his family and likes animals, but I don't get what his outstanding talents are.

I had to look up who that is.

Me too.

Luke Cage is a strange show.
Most start slow and gradually build to peak awesome at the end, maybe with a small blip of slowness towards the end of the middle.
Cage though starts slow, quickly becomes brilliant, and then ends poorly.
Still good. But unusual pacing. Wonder how they could continue now countermeasures to his power are becoming everyday
