Last post by Rev. Powell - January 18, 2026, 12:50:59 PMNO OTHER CHOICE (2025): After a paper-company middle manager is laid off due to radical downsizing, he decides to eliminate the competition for one of the few remaining jobs in his industry. OLDBOY director Park Chan-Wook's latest stylish black comedy is inspired by anxieties over automation and A.I. devastating workforces of the near future. 3.5/5.

Last post by Rev. Powell - January 18, 2026, 12:19:50 PMre: Ben and Arthur. Per the wikipedia article it does seem like a potential "so bad it's good" movie. I don't see myself screening it anytime soon, though, so I won't be voting for or against it.

Bad Movies / Re: After Last Season (2009)
Last post by M.10rda - January 18, 2026, 11:03:37 AMI didn't take the bait when WICKER MAN v2 was mentioned yesterday in another thread but now I'll take the bait. LaBute is (sometimes) a good writer but manifestly a terrible director. Like Mamet, he somehow made at least a couple of good (if simple) films - in LaBute's case, his first two. Everything from NURSE BETTY onwards seems insanely poorly made to me. He appears to take whatever job pays his bills. I don't think there was much intentional artistry behind the WM remake.
Some of my student films have ALS qualities. There's something about aesthetic flatness that appeals to young/amateur filmmakers. Hartley (who has made masterpieces) does flatness (because Godard did it); Mamet does flatness because, as he wrote in his book On Directing Film, "What's the best place to put your camera? Over There." Mamet truly believes that the script is everything and the film just comes together magically around a good screenplay w/ no other care or rigor. That's a very alluring idea for filmmakers who primarily identify as writers (like me). And somehow Mamet accidentally directed at least a couple very very good films (THE SPANISH PRISONER and HOMICIDE)... plus some decent ones and some stinkers.
Good Seagal joke!

Yes, and a jewelry store as well.
I see they sell genuine fake Rolexes there too.
I wonder if they know the place's history? I doubt it.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: Alex's even longer post th...
Last post by Alex - January 18, 2026, 09:39:11 AMOur Star Trek rpg started today with us playing junior officers going through the Kobayashi Maru. My solution to the problem was to park on the edge of the neutral zone and send a shuttle craft with a volunteer pilot across. When the Romulans appeared, I had the shuttle retreat, put the shields up and attempted to teleport the crew off from Federation space, while in return teleporting an armed torpedo onto the ship to blow it up and prevent the Romulans taking the ship. My transporter chief managed to wreck the transporter though, so I just opened fire on the Kobayashi Maru, preventings its crew being captured and subject to torture as well as preventing them from capturing a Federation vessel.
The GM didn't like my solution, (had the player running the engineer not messed up the transport I would have rescued the crew and had my ship leave intact), but I firmly believe given the circumstances it was a win.
For the next game I am going to get a tee shirt printed up that says I survived the Kobayashi Maru.
