Intriguing but knowing how movie studios roll, there will be a lot of CGI.

because the original was all live action? And will Helen Hunt be playing the role of the old Aunt for this one?

For Weird Al fans. Weird on the Roku channel is, well, Weird Al. I enjoyed it. Some interesting cameos.

Scrooged

Bill Murray film. Is funny. 10/10

Lowkey the best Christmas movie.

Die Hard

definitely a Christmas film

Have y'all watched Triangle of Sadness? It's a dark comedy that won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival this year. Quite satirical. There's one sequence of events like no other I've ever seen. It reminded me of this forum given the fascination with bodily functions.

One review from NYT:

“Triangle of Sadness,” in effect a shaggy-dog art-house reboot of “Gilligan's Island,”

Watched Glass Onion the other night. What a fun franchise.

I watched Spirited and Glass Onion yesterday. I really enjoyed Spirited. A nice little modern day adaptation to a Christmas classic. And some really catchy songs as well.

Glass Onion was good as well, but a little too predictable for me. Daniel Craig killed it again though.

Also, if you've watched Glass Onion and have access to Twitter, Ben Shapiro is apparently livid with the movie and it's well worth looking that thread up. Apparently he's upset there was misdirection in a murder mystery film.

I'm still watching Christmas-y films. Home Alone and Christmas Vacation and whatnot.

Can't say I've heard of this but the title sounds like a good name if UNC/Duke/State basketball and/or Football all had really bad years.

State is a lock there!

Watched it this weekend. Fun movie! Not as good as the first one, but still quite a ride.

Also watched Scrooged for the first time since seeing it in the theaters way back when. Not as funny as I remembered, but still a fun, if shambolic, mess. Plus I love watching old movies as time capsules.

Glass Onion was good as well, but a little too predictable for me. Daniel Craig killed it again though.

I really enjoyed it. Not quite as much as the first, but it was still a fun little whodunit. Daniel Craig getting angrier and angrier during the climax when he realized what was happening was hilarious

Spoiler

Benoit Blanc: His dock doesn't float. His wonder fuel is a disaster. His grasp of disruption theory is remedial at best. He didn't design the puzzle boxes. He didn't write the mystery. Et voila! It all adds up. The key to this entire case. And it was staring me right in the face. Like everyone in the world, I assumed Miles Bron was a complicated genius. But why? Look into the clear centre of this glass onion. Miles Bron is an idiot!

Miles Bron: Oh, please, just tell us who tried to kill me.

Benoit Blanc :Nobody tried to kill you, you vainglorious buffoon!

Hard pass on this, though. I had a pretty good day today, and I'm not going to ruin it by reading Shapiro's dimwitted takes.

"It's so dumb..."
"It's so dumb, it's brilliant"
"No! It's just dumb!"

I liked Glass Onion. Plot wasn't as strong as the first though. Funnier though, lots of cameos and targeted takes. Had that and the Enola Holmes sequel lined up for holiday movie night. Enola was also not as good as the first but fine.

Deck the Halls

Panned hard by critics but I think it's funny

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Movie titles, but you can only use a letter once:

Toy Sr
12 Angry Me
Home Aln
Batman Eyod
Findg Emo
Cars

I watched Suspiria the other day, the 2018 version. I'm a bit perplexed whether it was something very special or if it just caught me unawares not having watched a movie since God knows when but it kind of stayed haunting me. Curious casting choice to have Tilda Swinton play several roles, and not for the better IMO, but maybe that's just some meta-commentary that I have no tools to begin to understand because of having watched wrong movies my whole life.

 

[HisIceness]

Saw Boys in the Boat yesterday.

Felt it was kind of missing something but it was a good film to go see on the big screen.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Anyways I just saw Finding Dory, was pretty good.technically a movie thread as well

Took me 8 years but I saw it for the first time the other day as well.

Pretty good. It’s the same movie as Nemo. Which is a pretty good movie. So, cool.

 

[HisIceness]

The Abyss

Haven't seen this since I was a child.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Go see Deadpool & Wolverine if you’re even the slightest bit interested in superhero movies and/or vibe with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman f***ing around for 2 1/2 hours.

 

[Unsustainable]

IF is a good one for a family night

Watched St. Elmo's Fire last night for the first time. That was... weird.

It’s so out of context now! That was one my older sisters favorite movies along with Ghost. She wore those two tapes out watching all the time so I watched it 20 more times than I wanted to waiting for my turn with the tv so I could watch the Transformers and Voltron. I can’t imagine watching that for the first time now.
