Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by FatFreddysCat - December 24, 2025, 01:05:41 PM"The Ref" (1994)
On Christmas Eve, an attempted burglary gone wrong forces a criminal (Denis Leary) to take a squabbling married couple (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage in their ritzy Connecticut home. Things get complicated when the rest of the couple's extremely dysfunctional blue-blood family arrives for the annual holiday dinner.
I hadn't seen this black-as-coal comedy since its short theatrical run (which was inexplicably released in the Spring rather than the holiday season). It was a box office bomb back then but due to the tight, savage dialogue and the excellent performances it's become a cult item over the years as an antidote to typically sweet & syrupy Christmas movies. Very funny stuff that's well worth revisiting!

Good Movies / Re: Superman (2025)
Last post by FatFreddysCat - December 24, 2025, 07:53:11 AMQuote from: M.10rda on December 20, 2025, 07:44:19 AMI get where you're coming from about the gibberish.Context is everything... Gunn is pulling deep cuts from comics, hence the pocket universe "gibberish" about right-wing baddies illegally remanding undesirables to a black site sans due-process... which was a storyline in the late 00s/around the time of Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay... and I suppose this is currently relevant per Alligator Alcatraz. I read that story so its appearance in the movie didn't bother me, but Gunn should probably keep aware of perspectives like yours.
Also the "Injustice Gang" has been a thing in comics. I presume Gunn wanted to start introducing some new Justice Society/League heroes but the name "Justice League" was tainted by the previous movie. I'd imagine when Batman and Wonder Woman inevitably turn up the "Gang" will be renamed.......
I haven't read a Superman comic since I quit collecting in the early 90s, so obviously there's a lot of stuff I'm not up to date on, haha.
But honestly, when I watch a Superman movie, I want it to be about ... Superman! In this one he seemed like a supporting character amongst all the other characters running around and other stuff going on. I guess it was just too busy for me.
