Ok, on one hand Eggers is a must watch for me and this trailer really drives that home. On the other, with the rona looking to make another comeback I'm worried that theaters around me won't be safe.

Sarex Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) The Matrix 4 or Resurrections... I mean if it had to happen I guess I'm glad it happened like this. The movie is ok, kind of like the epilogue to the LotR where the Hobits come home and there is one more adventure waiting for them, or at least that is the feeling I had. Minor spoiler Spoiler If what they said in the movie is true and WB was going to make this sequel no matter what, then I'm glad at least one of the original creators was involved. The movie is not going to be a box office hit like the previous movies, I'm almost completely certain, but I don't think people will hate it. The only thing I think they could have done a little less of, are the Spoiler flashbacks Edited December 22, 2021 by Sarex 1 1 1 1 "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Sam Rami is directing this is the only reason I have any interest in it at all. My biggest concern is how much was he allowed to make a Sam Rami movie (yay!) and how much was he forced to make a Marvel movie (*snore*).

Sarex Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm interested in the newest Spiderman movie, it's been getting great reviews.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I honestly can't think of anything that Tobey Maguire did after Spider-Man. Anyways I'm burned out on superheroes so I'll watch a heart warming family movie called Candyman (2021) tonight. 2 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "I'm gonna hunt you down so that I can slap you square in the mouth." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "Am I phrasing in the most negative light for them?

Gromnir Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 first time we saw, we thought it were a parody trailer, and the thing is, the miniseries is indeed a parody, but is six +20-minute episodes o' parody. you kinda get the joke in the first ten minutes, so... ... the thing is, we did watch all six episodes and am typical not able to enjoy will ferrell in anything but small doses.

Keyrock Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Since the year is almost over, what's everybody's favorite movie of 2021? Mine is Malignant. I wrote about it at length before, but this was one of my favorite horror comedies since Army of Darkness (though I'm still not sure if it was intentionally a horror comedy). There are 2 acts of mediocre and somewhat boring horror to get through before the movie goes off the rails in the best way possible in the glorious and absolutely bat**** insane 3rd act.

Bartimaeus Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I watched only three movies released in 2021, and they are Censor, Pig, and the Summer of Soul. Guess I have to give it to Nicholas Cage's Pig, which was a genuinely fairly good anti-revenge film. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Not 100% sure, but I can't remember watching any 2021 film. Huh. if 2020 films with a theatrical release in 2021 count then it's... Violet Evergarden. If not, then I got nothing. As I say this I realize that I was wrong, and that there really is a 2021 movie that I watched: Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time and that was a seizure inducing piece of trash that made me write a gigantic rant on just how terrible it is, so that certainly doesn't count as answer to the question even if it's the only one and takes "best" and "worst" film of 2021 I've seen by default. 1 No mind to think.
