THE CINEMA LOUNGE

I tried watching this but it was too slow and boring. I didn't even make it halfway through.

 

finally was able to sit and watch some tv/movies yesterday.

watched
Reacher Season 1
The Choice
Brian Banks

second viewing of reacher, my cousin's first time seeing it but she really was into it and we ended up binging the season. she also picked the movies

 

Reacher was good. I'm glad it got renewed.

 

Just... why

Thank god, AMC isnt my local theater.

 

It's not that different from a concert or a sporting event where the crappier seats are cheaper but it's a dumb practice for movie theaters.

 

In preparation for the oncoming Dracula movies "Last voyage of the Demeter, Renfield, Etc..." (I hope that instead of just one good one out of the bunch like with the recent Pinocchio movies we get some great Dracula Realness) I'm watching some of the classic ones.
And daaaang why did no-one told me Frank Langella was so suave? Guy got game, dang! Gotta take some notes.

 

They’re trying to equate movies to live events like a concert or sporting event. I know A list members are exempt but eventually they will raise the prices for that too.

 

They saw Netflix's password-sharing plans and couldn't let them take the prize for "Dumbest Entertainment Company Move Of 2023."

 

Tight competition and we're barely over a month in.

 

Finishing the last few Oscar films and...

I didn't care for Triangle of Sadness. I don't get the hype at all. Like... it's technically well-made, but stretches its story way too far, while focusing on the least interesting characters. And the central messaging didn't work because of how haphazard the narrative was.

Triangle was one of the last ones I needed to see outside of the International films. Out of the major players, I still need to see Aftersun, RRR, Crimes of the Future, The Inspection and Marcel before I feel comfortable locking in my Top Ten. Hope to knock them out over the next week or two.

And The Quiet Girl FINALLY is getting released stateside, so that will probably be my last one.

 

Loved this so much:

 

Tubi won the night for me with their commercials. I was cracking up at this stupid rabbit one.

I've only used it once, but now I might have to more

 

A very worthy choice.

Disney one got me right in the feels, with all the images and voice overs of what feels like my entire movie loving life. It was like my own version of the woman and her dog living decades together. Except here Disney was the dog, and I was the woman, with a child starting at my adorable Disney in bed.

 

So I watched 'Crash ('05)' since it was leaving HBOMax. And HOLY ****. People talking about King's Speech or Green Book being the worst BP modern winners have NO IDEA. This movie is a mess of hackneyed, limp-wristed centrist posturing on race. Absolutely one of the worst BP winners and quite possibly THE worst Best Screenplay winner.

And the absolute most laughable part about the whole mess is that for all its talk about how very bad racism is, the Academy of course only nominated the white dude for playing the racist cop

 

I mean, to be fair, before Green Book happened, Crash was ABSOLUTELY the movie dominating that conversation for the worst BP winners, and is still included most of the time.
