Last Movie Not Seen — Page 2

I almost thought I was in the real movie thread for a second.

It doesn’t get more real than this son.

The Greatest Showman (2017) -

This movie was excruciating to sit through. Or, at least the trailer was, so I can’t imagine how something 60 times its length would be anything less than suicide inducing.

I don’t know whose idea it was to make this a musical. Or whose idea it was to make a fun movie about PT Barnum at all. The only thing worse than going to the circus is going to a movie about the circus. And the only thing worse than going to a movie about the circus is going to a movie about the circus where the characters sing and dance along to poorly produced auto-tuned pop music trash.

Ugh. D-

How is it not a Baz Luhrmann film?

Actually, having not seen it, I’m going to just assume it is.

Get out ok I’ll get out of this thread bye

Great review.

The Shape of Water

I hate it! It’s such a boring documentary on fluid dynamics.

That’s weird, I was listening to the new Keep It podcast and they kept saying it was about a woman who wanted to fuck a fish.

Sorry for the language but that’s a direct quote.

Thanks for letting me know to never listen to these folks.

You’ve heard of this newfangled thing called “a joke” right?

“Dundee” (2018)

Starring Danny McBride… Scottish name? Perhaps. But in this “teaser trailer” he’s standing on a cliff which is CLEARLY in Australia and speaking in a North American accent of some sort.

He didn’t even say, “Laddie” at the end. 1 tartan kilt out of 5.

If that was your joke, …ok.
If it was theirs, I’ll pass.

It was not my joke, and your loss.

Yep. It was great.
But this isn’t the thread for that.

Okay. I’ve seen it too and also really enjoyed it. I don’t think that description is too far off, though.

kitty never ceases to amaze me

Blade Runner 2049; the 2049th movie in the Blade Runner franchise, and the movie meant to kick off the Drive-Blade Runner shared universe, takes some bold risks, but ultimately isn’t as fun or action-packed as the other 2048 installments. Ryan Gosling returns as The Driver, but gone are the clever wisecracks and pop-culture references that littered Drive, instead replaced with a dark, brooding, and dare I say boring, character. I left the theater feeling confused and empty, why was Jared Leto a robot? Was Harrison Ford playing a character, or did he just wander onto the set? Why was The Driver dating a cartoon?

Boring, nonsensical. 7/10

#NotMyTheDriver

Lol the driver. Excellent review.

SKYSCRAPER (2018)

Dwayne Johnson gets a new job, literally above the glass ceiling that limits less muscular men.

He doesn’t question what is quite clearly an evil villans lair, but is just happy to be gainfully employed, after he was fir d from his last job for helping a poor old lady cross the street, instead of staying at his post as doorman. What a swell guy.

The only weird catch about the new job description is that he is forbidden from using the building’s only elevator. But when he sees an old lady carrying groceries up 8 billion flights of stairs, he makes the career sacrificing choice of helping out, and helps her use the elevator.

All hell breaks loose, and Dwayne Johnson’s muscles do everything they can to save the day.

The Greatest Showman

Sounds bad. But everyone I know in real life has only said great things. I can’t imagine why, but then again none of them really care about movies.

Tried watching this a couple days ago. After twenty-odd minutes, I had enough of the terrible soundtrack and shut it off.

You tried watching something from Lifetime. And something not even in their (bad) wheelhouse. What did you expect?

A largely Canadian cast, which is certainly what I got.

The antics of the peripheral characters are a tad amusing, but the main story is boring as hell. So a sixteen-year-old girl has a crush on a bland, uninteresting jock. Why should I care about that at all? I shut it off after Molly Ringwald gave Anthony Michael Hall her panties.

I’m sure handman would have done the same.
