Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - January 12, 2026, 05:13:23 PMPEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION (2026):
Another pick by Madame, apparently brand new thus the first 2026 film I've seen. Like TRON: ARES, I didn't think I could make it for the duration, but it was inoffensive->charming enough that somehow I endured through the closing credits. Two extremely attractive late 20somethings struggle to overcome their differences and misunderstandings in order to unite romantically and stay that way - you are shocked to read this plot synopsis, surely!
Screenplay vacillated between sincerity and insipidity. There's some cute humor, some dumb broad humor, then parts where everything gets weirdly serious. The direction is mostly steady enough to endure those tonal shifts and the film does look very nice. The leads and young support are all nobodies or people who I probably have seen on some TV show my wife has watched, but the fabulous Jameela Jamil is in a few scenes and Alan Ruck & Molly Shannon appear for five minutes as the female lead's parents in a funny bit involving condoms and prescription drugs. It was earnest, charming, and uninsulting enough to our intelligence that I ended up getting some hand-holding and smooching out of the deal at the end of this flick, which doesn't usually happen at the end of horror movies... so!
3/5
Also this is practice trying to write shorter reviews.

Good Movies / Re: YOUR Top 2X Films of the 2...
Last post by HappyGilmore - January 12, 2026, 04:53:03 PMI don't think I'd be able to do this. Certainly quite a few would just be superhero flicks. I'll rank them 1-25, but that's not a true ranking, necessarily. Could maybe do a second list.
1.) The Avengers. 2012. Just a fun ride.
2.) The Wrestler. Great movie.
3.) Tropic Thunder. Great comedy.
4.) Django Unchained.
5.) Toy Story 3
6.) Shaun of the Dead
7.) Jackass 3D
8.) The Dark Knight
9.) Silver Linings Playbook
10.) Avengers: Infinity War
11.) Requiem For A Dream. Though, came out in 2000. Unsure it counts.
12.) Clerks 2
13.) Texas Chainsaw , (2003.) Solid remake.
14.) Scream 5.
15.) Scream 6
16.) Cocaine Bear
17.) Get Out
18.) Guardians of the Galaxy
19.) Saw
20.) Mulholland Drive
21.) Wreck it Ralph
22.) Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
23.) Walk Hard
24.) The Devil's Rejects
25.) Captain America: Civil War
1.) The Avengers. 2012. Just a fun ride.

Last post by M.10rda - January 12, 2026, 04:04:23 PMHeh. I'd at least agree that FREDDY GOT FINGERED deserves some... "respect" isn't the right word, I guess. 
"Special acknowledgement"?

Last post by Dr. Whom - January 12, 2026, 03:01:48 PMQuote from: M.10rda on January 11, 2026, 12:53:30 PMDARK CITY simply doesn't work in its theatrical cut... was there ever a greatly expanded version released? But yeah, it does have cool images and ideas, and Richard O'Brien doing one of the things he does best.
Although I really liked it, I agree that it doesn't work in any cut. In this way, it reminded me of Gattaca, in that style, ideas and worldbuilding are far more important than the plot. With Gattaca, you've still got a cause to root for, while Dark City is far less compelling. But the lack of narrative cohesion is precisely one of the main themes of Dark City, so inevitably the story is disappointing. It is meant to be. That doesn't enhance the viewing experience, though.
