TV/Movies Megathread

Yeah, Elysium is actually pretty lazy in its design.  That's fine (as lazily as its conceived, and as unnecessary as it is to the plot, "space colony" isn't actually something you see show up in a $150 million movie, and that's worth something).  But it's not going to be rescued by that mediocre a story.

Chappie also isn't a "good" movie, but it is better.

Chappy is worst, imho.


Anyway.  I recored an old Steven Seagal movie, Hard to Kill.
I know I saw this when it first came out, but by all the gods, it is really awful...  I just watched 5 minutes of it, when Seagal is in the hospital and I decided to delete it.

Chappie was an insulting retardstick.

'Hail, Caesar!' - Entertaining, if a bit whimsical at times.

'Revenant' - Epic photography, average script, lots of grunting.

Arrival.  Amy Adams and Hawkeye figure out what those wacky aliens are doing on our planet, gosh darn-it.  A right-wing talk-radio host inspires some resistance to them.  Language is serious business.

I tried to watch that but turned it off part way through.

Guardians I was great, lots of fun. I hope they can do similar with the sequel.

'Revenant' - Epic photography, average script, lots of grunting.

Good film, I really liked it. Agreed on the great scenery and the whole film seemed to capture life on the frontier pretty nicely.

YouTube recommends me a clip with a thumbnail featuring what appears to be a CP session in BDM. But I fear it's just clickbait. Please advise.

I just saw Don't Breathe. Pretty good little thriller.

Indeed, I was probably being too harsh on it.

I also made the mistake of watching it on a pc/ small screen, in retrospect it's a film that cries out to be watch on the big screen in a decent cinema.

Watched the creds to the end to see where it was filmed, somewhere in British Colombia, epic is the fitting word for that scenery.

More (1969). Barbet Shcroeder's first film.

German guy hitchhikes to Paris. Finds hot American girl. Goes to Ibiza. Gets addicted to heroin. All to an early, spacey Pink Floyd score.
