Rate The Last Movie You Saw

WOw, Uber Jason That first kill was hilarious I've had lots of fun with this last night. Is anyone going to make a sequel to this?

Walk Your Way Out (Burr, 2017)


Burr has gradually devolved into a bitter old man spinning his wheels as a shock jock years after the novelty of being edgy has eroded. People who liked his comedy for ******** on traditions should be disappointed in him for defending ones that he approves of. He can see the absurdity in Amy Schumer's first world problems, but not in complaining about McDonalds serving salads. Having grown up with his work for the past decade or so, I look back on his early work like I do Eminem's. I can't separate the nostalgia from the genuine appreciation, and the new material is both derivative and past its expiration date.

Transgressive comedy is supposed to violate boundaries. There aren't any boundaries anymore, no matter how much you're convinced that some bloggers in L.A. are the majority regarding politically correct culture. Donald Trump was elected the president of the United States. You're not going against the grain anymore. You're preaching to the crowd.

It wasn't as good as "You People Are All The Same" (the b&w special)... Do you listen to his podcast?

Nah, it's a little too unfocused for me. Most of the podcasts I listen to are about stuff. His are just kind of rants that go all over the place. I remember catching Why Do I Do This? in middle or high school and finding it hysterical.

Mark, I think I need to see this movie alone. I totally knew there was some pretty strange stuff happening here. My obstacle was the person I had seen this movie with at least twice prior over the years. Constant talking takes me out of the experience. This will be yet another rewatch when it becomes available to me. Last night I watched the Kino Lorber blu ray, which looks stunning! I imagine my review will be even more supportive of this film once I've had a chance to ingest it without distraction. I believe I missed some of the point of The Wanderers, which makes sense since I usually always champion films with oddball narratives.

I just finished watching Zootopia with the little one. It's all right. Some of it is really stupid, which I've come to expect from kiddie films, but some was okay. I guessed why the predators were savage, but I didn't get it 100% accurate (I didn't guess that "night howlers" also meant a plant). I knew I wouldn't like it much, but it isn't horrible, and it kept the kiddo's attention for a while (we watched it in three sessions).

Radical! Well done. A beautiful natural disaster. Trademark Refn. Some good lines mixed in with the nudity and vulgarity.

Charles Bronson: I gave you f*cking magic in there!
Paul: Magic? You just pissed on a gypsy in the middle of f*cking nowhere.

It's life during wartime, but the only problem a little Scottish island has is that they run out of whiskey. When I say it's a problem I mean it's like a tragedy for these folks. A ship runs aground during some fog that just happens to be carrying 50,000 cases of whiskey. The question then becomes who gets it. I picked this randomly off the British films list, and then read the general synopsis before watching it. I thought it was going to be really silly, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's an amusing and enjoyable movie in a quaint setting. Well worth spending 80 minutes.

The Children's Hour (1961)

Okay. I'm a Hitch fan. I've seen this movie pop up in this thread many times now, almost always with positive reviews... and somehow I still haven't seen it yet. Looks to me this might be a sign to get watching.

Get Out

I watched a few movies this weekend so I will be brief. I liked this movie, nothing really new was brought here and I pretty much guessed it all however it was still entertaining enough to not be a bore. After reading up about it there were quite a few racial references in the movie to KKK and so on. I think it was well directed and for a new director it was pretty polished. I am not sure however why there was so much hype for this other than being entertaining.

3.5/5 Stars

Now I am not really sure how this is a cult classic for children. This is the first time I watched this movie and I got bored. I mean the puppets are quite well down as you would expect from Jim Henson. As for the actors/characters I could not relate to any of them and ended up disliking them. The only one I thought was enjoyable to watch was Sir Didymus the rest were just irritating. I just cannot see the appeal of the movie and I guess it is one of those fond memories you would have had as a child only to die when re watching.

1.5/5 Stars
