War for the Planet of the Apes sucks. And the effects ain't all that great. No, War for the Planet of the Apes. I like Get Out.

"Roman J. Israel, Esq." is a terrific movie, one of the best scripts of 2017 and a better, more mature achievement than "Nightcrawler". And Denzel is sublime in it.

Blade Runner 2049's ending is more emotionally affecting than Call Me by Your Name's.
Kung Fu Panda 2 is great and underrated.

Star Wars was never good. Apart from Empire Strikes Back, I agree.

Someone got me to try ASMR.
I really don’t get why people take comfort in it, but maybe that’s because I don’t much care for people shoving noisy things in my ear. Like tapping on books or scraping microphones with little dusting gloves, there’s a lady that squished some shampoo bottles, I have no idea what the hell that was. And then we get to the unintelligible whispers, of those people getting right up to the speakers and clicking their tongue like “loveloveaspfhtjsjajaihfhr. Asbjgofh” What are you even saying?! If I want my lover to whisper sweet nothings in my ear, I want to be able to understand what they are. This just feels like G-rated fetish audio.

"The Matrix" didn't deserve to win the Best Visual Effects Oscar even despite the bullet time stuff. The rest of the effects are fine but nothing special and there's some stuff that doesn't look that good.

Not sure how unpopular this is, but Charlotte Gainsbourg is better than Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia

The rest of the effects are fine but nothing special and there's some stuff that doesn't look that good. If they'd nominated "The Mummy" alongside it, then I'd probably agree with you. The also not nominated "The Haunting" gives it a run for its money that year too.

- Moviedom has now become too random. Too many people have become too narrow about films. 80s started this culture of randomness, but it's really getting to that point now. I'm curious what you mean by this. Like people's tastes are too limited?

I'm curious what you mean by this. Like people's tastes are too limited? Hey.... now. I didn't have redhawk10 on my mind when I lazily wrote that, so I hope you're not reading into that. What I mean is more like this. In the 50s+60s, which is the age of intellectualism in cinema. The people who were watching films back then: Ordet, The Seventh Seal, La Dolce vita, Andrei Rublev, Last Year at Marienbad and all those "intellectual" foreign films. Because they've just gone through a two decade long marathon on that long string of black&white films, they're stuck in that frame of mind, and rigidly attached to the standards of their era. All of a sudden, it's now the 70s. These people have periodically stopped watching films, but one day decided to get back into films, and it's 1977. Do you think those people would be open-minded to a film like Eraserhead? Because Eraserhead is a bit too geeky for them, and it's something they would dismiss as exploitation and they would lump it together with Deep Throat and Pink Flamingos (films of the new exploitation wave). And that's what I mean by narrowness. Can you kind of see what I'm talking about? You can picture a scenario similar to what I just brought up in every decade. From the 70s-transition-to-80s, 80s-90s, 90s-00s, case closed. Lol, I didn't take it that way at all. I was just interested in hearing that point elaborated on. I get what you're saying, and it's basically just moviegoers being close minded and too quick to disregard stuff outside their comfort zone. That's been a thing since forever though, really.

From the 70s-transition-to-80s, 80s-90s, 90s-00s, case closed. And I think it's more of a thing in the 80s and after climate. There came around more different shades of filmmakers doing their own stuff, so more different avenues and areas of comfort. Harmony Korine was absolutely trashed for a decade, and on - and there's a similarity among the ones who do it. I just don't really like people applying their old standards to lambast newer or modern understandings of good filmmaking. And similarly, applying the current climate to devalue an older golden age of moviedom is also.... beyond ignorant. Nobody here really does that. Just I'm venting against Film General, there's a reason I stopped posting there.

Just because you have a big ass does not mean you have a nice ass.
I've said it before and I should say it again... especially you, lady at my gym. You know who you are... and the giant sweat stain you left but did not clean up...

That just doesn't occur in nature. I like big asses but giant fake ones are kind of grotesque, like the huge Pamela Anderson breast implants.

I know many who have a slim upper body and big booty and thighs, and they struggle to reduce them even of one inch. Some girls just don't like the hippopotamus look.

National Anthems and flags are a load of nonsense and the idea that someone should be judged for disparaging or disrespecting either, is as ridiculous as the concept of them both.

Don’t be such a filthy ‘Murica hatin’ terrorist. But I so agree. People don’t seem to realize that spirit and symbols are not mutually exclusive things, and that a man who sings “God Bless the USA” daily is no more American than someone who just arrived here on a plane five minutes ago. America isn’t a place, or objects, or iconography. It’s a people, an idea, a shared kindred spirit.
