Sarex Posted April 3 Posted April 3 There is one more trailer with a different scene at the end. Too much work for an Aprils fools, probably. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
LadyCrimson Posted April 4 Posted April 4 That Naked Gun trailer - well, the OJ joke was pretty funny. Liam Neeson - in that Life's Too Short HBO series, he said he always wanted to do more comedy. Guess he finally got his chance. “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Whoa. Trent Reznor is bringing back NIN. That alone perks my interest.
Lexx Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Watched Mickey 17. It was.. ok I guess. Not terrible but also not really great. Feels like they wasted half of the premise, dunno. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Amentep Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Watched Powell and Pressburger's THE RED SHOES. Great visuals, and a good dramatic storyline. Moira Sheerer, Anton Walbrook and Marius Goring make a good triangle (not sure it can really be called a love triangle, even if love is a part of it). I cannot - yet I must.

Gfted1 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 A little more than the first trailer. http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png

majestic Posted April 13 Posted April 13 (edited) Went to the theater for A MINECRAFT MOVIE, because my nephew really wanted to go. So far I thought watching him play Minecraft was the worst thing. Then he started to watch Minecraft YouTubers, and I thought, wow, it can't get any worse. Oh how wrong I was. The best moment of the film came from an older woman a few seats away, having been dragged to the theater by what was probably her grandchild. When the credits rolled, she very loudly exclaimed: THANK GOD IT IS OVER. Edited April 13 by majestic 6 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Bartimaeus Posted April 18 Posted April 18 It's a lot more charming than the actual scene, that's for sure. 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.
LadyCrimson Posted April 19 Posted April 19 It took me a moment to connect the film title to the content and realize it's another rendition of the novel War of the Roses. The DeVito helmed movie was pretty dark-ly funny at the time, I have hopes for this one. “Things are as they are.

Bartimaeus Posted April 19 Posted April 19 (edited) The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976). This is another one of those cases where I saw a poster and immediately said "yep, gotta watch it". Was it good? Yes, really good, actually. Was it exactly what I expected? Uh, no, not quite: on one hand, half of it was a pretty wholesome and cute young teen romance and coming-of-age movie, and that part was great despite it not being what I was expecting...and on the other hand, the other half was Spoiler Oh my God, why is nasty-ass Martin Sheen threatening, blackmailing, molesting, and trying to rape a 13 year old Jodie Foster? I've always thought Martin Sheen seemed like a total creep to begin with, now it's going to be impossible to not think of this particular performance anytime I see him now. Combining the genuinely sweet with the genuinely horrific in a dark but grounded way seems to work with me more often than not, and while this was frightening enough for me to bring out the ol' hands-over-eyes style of viewing... Spoiler ...the poster did end up eventually delivering on its promise, and thank goodness for that. Also, I didn't even notice Jodie Faster was the headline actress listed in the poster up above before deciding to watch it, but while I didn't initially recognize her, I knew it was either her or a total deadringer as soon as I heard her voice. I've always liked Jodie Foster, she's always oddly seemed like a stand-in for my own mom whenever I see her in movies...but I've always felt there's a dearth of movies I actually like that she's in. I have some mixed feelings about adding this one to the list of her movies that I like, but I guess it is what it is. Edited April 19 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

I've always thought Martin Sheen seemed like a total creep to begin with, now it's going to be impossible to not think of this particular performance anytime I see him now. Sheen played disturbed young men & crazy obsessives a lot in the late 60s and 70s. Not every role, but enough to notice. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Bartimaeus Posted April 19 Posted April 19 (edited) When I look up "is martin sheen a scumbag", all that comes up is stuff about his father. He's certainly got some...interesting political and spiritual beliefs (and I say "spiritual" instead of "religious" because he considers himself spiritually Catholic while simultaneously spurning the religion itself), but seems like he might be a real and okay person. I wonder sometimes why some actors seem to be drawn towards portraying absolute scum - is it because they identify in any way with those roles, or is is it because they feel comfortable enough in their own skin that they're willing to portray those roles with their unique talent and skills while not worrying about it...or something else? I guess I should try to not have a viscerally negative reaction to seeing his face or hearing his voice. If he gets MeToo-ed in ten years, I'm gonna be so mad that I made any effort to not hate him. Apparently, I was super confused: Martin Sheen is the dad (who is reportedly at least an okay guy), Charlie Sheen is the son that's...less than. Charlie Sheen is the guy that always made me think he was a creep, Martin Sheen...I don't think I've seen in anything besides this movie. They looked like the same guy, which is probably why I couldn't make sense of who was whom. Edited April 25 by Bartimaeus corrected "Charlie" -> "Martin", lmao, whoops - I did actually look up Martin and not Charlie, despite the fact that looking up Charlie instead would definitely explain why I only get stuff about Charlie Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

LadyCrimson Posted April 21 Posted April 21 ^ I saw Little Girl Who Lives Down the Land on TV when I was maybe 11. I liked it a lot then. Surreal in a way. I guess Apoc. Now was what cemented M. Sheen in many minds? He's had a long career but I'm not sure I'd call most of his films/tv must watch. He played a not-creep/baddie in Gettysberg, just to say. I don't think he was that great in that, but it was more the long winded, pontificating script. Only Jeff Daniels came out shining in that one, imo. In other: I've decided I like "teasers" more than full trailers these days. This one (thriller/horror I gather) tells me nothing of the film, outside of the notion that some children are missing - but it's just weird imagery of kids running with arms akimbo. I may not see the movie, but I like the teaser. 1 “Things are as they are.
