Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[SD]

What channel was that on?

HBO max

The Lie - Very good Blumhouse suspense/thriller with a great twist ending. 

7/10

[MDS]

mank - well shot because fincher cant make something look bad but this was just outright boring. if you can make it through this thing without checking your phone 100 times or half reading wikipedia i wont believe it. the acting is fine, but the story is just dull. who is this even for? how many people care about depression era hollywood or the 1938 california gubernatorial election. fincher's dad wrote the script decades ago. hes dead. his son didnt change anything. nobody wanted to make this and for good reason until netflix and their bottomless pit of money and desperation for gold trophies came along. great, you made it david. now go make something fun to watch. and im one of the 3 people under the age of 40 who have seen citizen kane! 1/5

chicago 7 - sorkin can write the hell out of anything and his direction improved from molly's game. some poor casting choices cost this -- way too many brits whose accents didnt hold, especially sacha baron cohen. the story was really kind of off from what really happened, but not exceptionally so. really good watch overall and in a weird year with no good movies it legit could get nominated. 3.5/5

other stuff that ive seen over the past few weeks that i will divide into 5 categories:
different levels of great: the assistant, palm springs, saving private ryan, et
mad overrated: ghostbusters
it was fine: he got game, sophies choice, arrival
bonkers stupid fun: the mule
meh: shes gotta have it, melancholia

He Got Game is really flawed but I love that movie.  Try to watch it every 2-3 years.

This was the first time you watched Saving Private Ryan and Ghostbusters?

I hated Ghostbusters when it was released.  Never understood the appeal, actually.

it was 1000% bill murray. he was really good in it (the only one really good in it), i guess in the 80s everyman sarcastic dudes were not a thing in movies so all the mediocre white people gravitated towards him. and man are there a lot of mediocre white people in this country.

SPR ive seen bits and pieces of just not all the way through. ghostbusters pretty much the first time ive seen it.

The bar for comedy movies in the early 80s was unbelievably low. Ghostbusters is a classic if your standard is Porky's and Zapped.

I loved revenge of the nerds and porkys so much as a little kid. I can't imagine sitting through one of them these days.

i actually think the 80's has a lot of great comedies the problem is more broad...80's anything even the good shtein has visually aged so bad...so the movie itself may be excellent but it just looks horrible on the screen...80's shtein looks worse than most 70's stuff

[Rome]

For every Trading Places there's a thousand Weekend At Bernie's or Mannequin. 

John Hughes pretty much owned the 80's, though.

We'll always have Big Trouble in Little China.

those movies existed because horny teenagers wanted to see boobs

now you can press two buttons on your phone and watch a woman shtein on a man then jerk him off with the shtein. or so im told.
