It is, and it never gets better, although there is one moment in the film that caused me to laugh out loud. Not sure when that was, but I think it was after twenty minutes. Jessica is looking for Hernan and stumbles across a jazz jam session. Bass, piano, guitar and drums. The camera just holds on Jessica and some other people initially rapturously (then somewhat uncomfortably) watching the performance for one and a half minutes, and then the scene switches to their point of view and one can observe the band. Clearly art. What could spell out ART any better than some jazz in this piece of art? Edited June 28, 2022 by majestic 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

bugarup Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 "Everything everywhere all at once". It's basically a feel good film with a simple message of "Talk to, listen to and all in all pay attention to your family, also be kind", but conveys it in a fun, non-saccharine way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Downfall (2004). That one German film where the funny Hitler meme videos come from. It's been about fifteen years since I last watched it, and it doesn't hold up quite as well as I thought it would; there's way too many very pointed "how could we have known this would happen"-type inserts that feel clumsy and out of place throughout the film. When the film is just proceeding along without the overbearing moralizations is when it's good, but there are too many such detours that awkwardly feel somewhere between either self-apologist or revisionist. Edited July 4, 2022 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Lexx Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Watched the indian bromance movie RRR. It was honestly not bad. Bit too long, though. Could probably cut at least 30 minutes out of it and not miss out on anything. Still, pretty fun action flick for the most of it, and not boring (I have a tendency to fall asleep in nowadays action movies, which I didn't here).

Is it supposed to be making fun of The Munsters? Its a super-love letter to The Munsters; ostensibly a "how-did-they-get-together" prequel showing how Herman met Lilly, married and left Transylvania to move to mocking bird lane. Lots of references to the show (the Wolfman and Gillman are relative's who appear in the show; Herman's driving outfit from THE MUNSTER'S GO HOME amid other more obscure one) plus the nods the Universal and Hammer Frankenstein and Dracula films). But the pacing on the trailer is really whack, like it wasn't edited right (or, as I mentioned, was edited to attain a faux 1987 direct-to-video feel. I cannot - yet I must.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 RRR So it's ridiculous. Between the CGI animals and the Indian supermen who can fly, this movie is ludicrous. Extreme camp, could not be sillier of it tried. Somehow it works. The plot isn't much to write home about, the characters are shallow, and the singing is not my thing. It feels like a pastiche of action films, and that's where the beauty lies. When you think about it, Bheem throwing a cgi tiger at British troops like it's a discus is no less ridiculous than some of the stuff you'd see an action film try to do seriously. By making this stuff just blatantly ridiculous and not slapping coats of paint to try to cover it up with serious stuff, it's able to shine in absurdity.

I really liked the movie and I'm tempted to check out other indian movies now. My only issue with it was that it did feel a bit too long. There's some flashback scenes that could have been shorter, and then there are flashback scenes that we already saw and showing them again was just annoying, etc. I really liked how the two main guys became bros. It was a real brodude adventure. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
