I really liked the following

director's cut of



















Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

The Dragon Lives Again is a work of genius, only equalled by Robo Vampire

Don't know how unpopular this is, but I am glad Marvel movies are performing badly lately, and hope they give up on them for good soon. They had a nice run and I liked most of them against my better judgement, but I've been sick to hell of them for some time. Not a fan of superheroes in general outside of Batman--make as many Batman movies as you want!

It was difficult to see how the could've successfully followed on from Avengers: Endgame.  The strongest characters (Cap and Iron Man) were gone and I think they wasted Dr Strange.  He could've carried things forward if there was an engaging story to tell.  It was very sad and unfortunate that Chadwick Boseman died as his Black Panther was another character that could have been developed.  Thor has become a sitcom character, so has the Hulk.  Captain Marvel was over powered and had no personality.  Only Deadpool has any signs of life.

Back on topic - Mad Max: Fury Road.

Tom Hardy is a complete blank as Max.  Mel Gibson didn't have many lines to speak in 2 and 3 but managed to portray character and emotions in other ways so we could see who he was.  Hardy's Max isn't engaging at all and comes across as bland.  I don't think it's a bad film but feel it very much lacks the personality of 1,2 and 3.

^Of course Tom Hady sucked;^
 The whole premise was always supposed to be about downstaging to Charlize Theron so as to hand over the whole franchise to the feminist movement...

^ Huh? Your so right-wing, it's almost caricature.

I never really liked the whole 'Batman' franchise at all.
Not even one of the films did anything for me.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on May 24, 2025, 09:47:50 AMBANANAS and SLEEPER are the ones I'd recommend to Woody haters. But I get it. Don't know how unpopular the opinion is, lots of people hate Woody (even before the scandals).

My introduction to Sleeper was in the book Sci-Fi Now - 10 Exciting Years of Science Fiction from 2001 to Star Wars. There was a photo of Woody Allen in the inflatable emergency suit, and a brief blurb about the movie. But it wasn't until some years later that it played on late night TV, and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, I have never seen it since. But I haven't watched many other Woody Allen movies, or any, if I think about it.

while I'm not suggesting it's the best film starring Robert De Niro, imo the one role that Robert De Niro nailed the hardest out of any of his movies is MEET THE PARENTS.

A teacher of mine was once pretty displeased with my take on The Day After(1983).....
I missed it when it first came out (I forget why), so this was sometime in 1987/88, when fears of nucular antihalation had been winding down....
Besides, by then I'd already seen Testament(1983) & On the Beach(1959), so I couldn't help finding it a tad weak.....

They had a great run.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was fantastic, and I've dig the Loki, Hawkeye and Daredevil tv runs. Looks like they're bringing back Jessica Jones, who's one of my favorite characters. But, yeah, superhero fatigue is real.
