It looks pretty good. Only piracy I could find is 720p. Will wait

Liked the first one, jumped on the second on name alone. I think I like it even better than the original? It's been a minute since I've rewatched Smile so I'd have to watch them back-to-back to be sure, but I really like the main character in this one. The lead actress knocked it out of the park and the movie did a great job of making me care what happens to her. Appropriately scary, left the theater all nerves. I like that while every other part of the film industry is in shambles and can't make a decent film to save their lives, the horrorslop industry just keeps chugging along doing exactly what it's always done.

Rating:

Kristen Schaal is a great voice actress but dear god when she's on screen

He had a few decent moments but nearly everything is this lazy, toned down, blase "acting" and I'm seriously buttmad a little bit

Be sure to watch the vengeance trilogy, all three are excellent imo, even if Oldboy is peak.

I missed the craze when it was a network show, but too many people I know were invested in this show.

I am currently watching the pilot and have already loudly laughed twice at how bad it is.

Also I fricking hate every piece of media that JJ Abrams has ever even considered working on

So what's everyone watching this week? I've only seen some anime movies on Netflix which I won't bother you guys with since it's against the spirit of this hole

Alien: Romulus is out on streaming now so here's my thoughts:

• It's certainly diverse - the only two white people in the film are c*nts and there's a genderless bald Asian girl pilot. I didn't think it was too nonsensically woke though.

• It feels like they tried to capitalise on the success of the 2002 Disney+ Predator film Prey, but the story also got mangled with a generic "everyone dies to the monster one-by-one" storyline.

• It's fun enough but also pretty dumb. Was this really the best Alien script that someone could come up with since Covenant?

• It explains far too much. Alien films should leave more questions than answers, but this has long scenes early in the film in which the entire plot and lore is explained.

• The Rook CGI is horrendous. I can't believe it made it into the final cut.

• It could have been scarier and had more tension. Too much story happens and there's not enough of people just creeping around.

• The spaceship crashing into the ice belt scene is cool.

• I don't understand why they made an Alien film but the final boss is some shitty Voldemort rip-off.

• Why are there levers in the cargo hold that let someone detach the cargo hold mid-flight? That would be suicide.

@RottenDonGER an earlier concept for this involved mentioning you but it just didn't work out.

>main character is a libertarian

>convinces court he's crazy to avoid prison, gets sent to a looney asylum

>villain is a manipulative middle-aged foid

>foid is a control freak, keeps moids under meds

>white foid makes use of BIPOC goons staff to keep main character under bay

>neurodivergent boy kills himself after foid threatens to tell his mom he lost his virginity

>main character gets lobotomized after chocking Nurse B-word

!kino !nooticers could this movie be remade today?

I'm seriously stoked for this ngl

I love Flying Lotus' music and am amazed that this is how is jumping into cinema

it cpuld end up being dogshit butt at least it looks really fricking original jnlile lost of rhe slop these days

It was alright, people who gave it a sub 5/10 score might have unironically just been too low IQ to understand it.

!kino !ifrickinglovescience and also !bookworms for those who read the novel

I personally think it's slopkino

I wanna eat Aubrey Plaza's butt.

How does he do it?

Give him an Oscar!!

I watched American Sniper which is 2 hours of him shooting brown people and trying to be a hero and a good husband. Which he ultimately is, but the tension of his portrayal of Chris Kyle as a tryhard insecure freak makes the movie great. I don't think that was baked in the script. A different performance or even a better performance and the movie would be boring af. A confident, strong, but damaged American Sniper sneeding and coping over duty and war while also sorta getting off on the action?? Get that shit outta here!! I want desperate and weird American Sniper.

Perhaps Cooper studied the real Chris Kyle because if you read his wiki page his weird tryhardyness may be what ultimately killed him. His desperate need to be a hero caused him to spend time with a PTSD schizo he didn't even like. When the schizo couldn't handle the bad vibes he randomly shot American Sniper.

Politically, the script was pro-war I guess . But it didn't make me wanna go into battle, especially with American Sniper. It's perfunctory touching on veterans' disillusionment is quickly dismissed by American Sniper so you don't have to think about it too much, you just continue to be transfixed by American Sniper.

The sound effects were very good. All the sets kinda looked the same but that's probably just unfortunate realism. Pirate a high bit rate copy or you're going to get some Iraqi dust colored banding.

Overall American Sniper 9.9/10, without Cooper 3/10. The only thing missing was American Sniper american sniping Katrina looters.

I'd watch Maestro but I don't wanna see gay Bradley Cooper. Instead I'm gonna rewatch American Hustle, I don't really remember it but with my newfound Cooper appreciation I'm sure I'll enjoy it!
