Made the mistake of watching The Green Knight on a tiny screen with poor audio on a long distance flight (Ad Astra too). Hope to catch again soon on my home theatre.I was mildly disappointed in The Green Night.. and that was a movie I was practically tugging myself over for months..
Big fan of Barry Keoghan, A24.. but the movie was a little pretentious for me. The scene in the cabin still have me perplexed. It was beautifully shot, excellent score and acting.. but story wise, fell a little short.
Still better than any Starwars or Comic book movie tho.. so its at least not on that level.
Have become one! Had never seen any of his films until Mulholland Drive last year. And as I said, Eraserhead and Blue Velvet last week. Would like to check out the Twin Peaks series too.A fellow David Lynch fan I see. (thumbsup)
Interesting insights. Had seen some headlines that horror was doing well at the box office, but had not read much deeper on it. Guess the last new true horror flick I saw was Get Out last year. That and rewatching Evil Dead a few months back, lol.Still haven't seen Nightmare Alley. Lynch makes some great subdued horror.
The problem with the horror genre is its THE most off-putting genre. Right off the bat, kids can't watch it. And anyone who gets scared easily, has past trauma, even some mental illness.. also can't watch it. Horror practically eliminates half of the population right off the bat.
But its had an AMAZING box office and streaming count during the pandemic. I remember seeing like 16 of the top75 streamed movies at one point were horror. And several in the top15.
YesAnyone else here big into horror movies? Really anything horror is my jam, movies, books, video games.
What is Nightmare Alley?Anyone seen this year’s Best Picture winner Coda? I know a lot of people haven’t seen as it’s only on Apple TV. I caught on a long flight.
I thought it was very good. Really unique and interesting plot. Fantastic acting across the entire cast. Just a very human-centered story. If scene 5 of the other Best Picture nominees and I’d put near the top. I probably liked Dune better, but this would probably be second with Nightmare Alley not too far behind.
2021 remake of a 1947 film of the same name by director Guillermo del Toro (Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth). Features a star-studded cast - Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe and many others. Noir/mystery genre about a man (Cooper) who joins the circus and hones his talents into becoming a fortune teller of sorts. On HBO Max currently. Well worth the watch in my opinion!What is Nightmare Alley?
We watched The Green Knight last night. We’ve always enjoyed period dramas, and have enjoyed lots of others movies with Dev Patel and with Alicia Vikander. The Green Knight was boring AF. Too artsy, or something. Just a poorly told story. I want my 2 hours back!Green Knight was terrible. Just don't like movies like that.
Great band, great concert film!ANNNNND:
Growing up in the 80’s, Karate Kid, Top Gun and especially Back to the Future are very high on my all-time favorites list. Better Off Dead is a fun comedy. Probably a top 20 comedy for me. Die Hard is of course an action classic. Gonna miss seeing Bruce is anything new.Best of the Best
Karate Kid
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Back to the Future
Better off Dead
Grosse Point Blank
Real Genius
Top Gun
Highlander
Great band, great concert film!
Surprised their crazy scary manager guy didn’t execute everyone from the filmmakers to the security staff!I didn’t know until years later that big chunks were shot on a sound stage after the 3 night stand in NYC - not all original footage was useable
And they got their asses robbed of like $180,000 fm a safety deposit box while in NY
I totally agree about Dune. I think it’ll continue to grow in acclaim. The Green Knight getting a lot of hate on here. I’ll didn’t hate it, but wasn’t blown away either. I’m withholding judgement until I can view again. Saw it on a tiny screen and poor headphone audio on a plane.Green Knight was terrible. Just don't like movies like that.
The more I watch Dune on HBO, the more I like it.

Superbad is fantastic, probably a top 20 comedy for me. Need to rewatch Adventureland. I remember thinking it was fine, but it didn’t make a huge impression on me either. I’ll try to check it out again.Adventureland is a good one. From the director of Superbad, but more of a sweet 80's coming of age story than a raunchy comedy. I grew up near the Adventureland park on Long Island it is based on(the director worked there in the 80's), although they shot it in Kennywood near Pittsburgh. Nice cast, Kristian Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Jessie Eisenberg, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig.
