Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I finally saw "Alita: Battle Angel", produced by James Cameron and directed by Robert Rodríguez. I can't complain, it was good. I'm not much into manga, but well, the cast was the reason I watched it. I kinda regret not watching it on 3D.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Oh yeah I hear that's a movie you should definitely see in 3-d. I read that movie has to make 400 million world wide just to break even. I mention that because it seems like a lot of
people are going to see it but it's still kind of being treated like a flop.

I saw today "Green Book". I really liked it. Great story and great performances. But "Roma" is still my favorite of 2018.
I wonder if the girl will always be seen as the creepy girl from Hereditary her whole life. Kind of like Linda Blair with The Exorcist. It's one of the risks you take getting into acting.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I haven't seen the Queen movie but i'm surprised no one else comments about those inaccuracies. The Doors movie hasn't really aged well but yeah it's entertaining even though as a fanPandemonium wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 3:59 pmSo I finally saw Bohemian Rhapsody on Blu-ray. I’m not really a super knowledgeable fan as far as their personal lives are concerned but I know enough about the band mostly from a musical standpoint and actually saw them back in the day for the 1980 Game and 1982 Hot Space tours.
Right away some of the historical and timeline inaccuracies that I *am* aware of kind of bugged me. I get that liberties were taken for dramatic effect but compressing Mercury’s AIDS diagnosis and illness to kind of set up Live Aid as a dramatic end was a bit too much (Mercury didn't even contract HIV until several years *after* Live Aid in '85 and the band did one more major tour and recorded several albums before Mercury died in 1991). In many ways, the movie plays out as a series of often inaccurate Cliff Notes episodes of key events in the band and creation of several key songs. But the focus is almost 100% on "Freddy" and for better or worse, doesn't shy away from his bisexuality. One nice touch was the opening 20th Century Fox fanfare was done apparently by Brian May and Roger Taylor in the style of Queen's "God Save The Queen" cover.
In my opinion, what made the movie decent was the actors playing Freddy and especially Brian May, much like Val Kilmer who was the best thing about The Doors movie. Like that movie, Bohemian Rhapsody is certainly entertaining but I think The Doors was a overall at least a more dramatically cohesive film. I initially thought Malik's dental prosthesis was almost cartoonishly over the top but seeing some photos of Freddy around 9 years old, his teeth *really* were that bad.
youre not gonna learn much about the band. The other members say it's a bunch of bullshit. Val Kilmer was great, here he is warming up before the movie started shooting

With regards to the Godfather, I think it must be viewed at a movie theatre for the full effect. A big thing is the lighting and how it's shot. Watching on a tv screen isn't as good, imo.
I can't believe you haven't seen Casino. Some people say it's better than Goodfellas. Sharon Stone very underrated actress in my opinion.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I've mentioned it before on here but if you like gangster movies check out Sexy Beast. That one stands out to me and i'd put it up there with the best of them.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
i never saw it back in the day because of the dumb title. i watched it the first time a few years ago and thought it was really good.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
That was a funny scene. I'm not sure why I never saw it, but I will check it out.clickie wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 1:08 pmArtemis wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 5:30 pmI haven't seen Casino. Goodfellas is great. It's one of those movies for me that I can watch over and over and not tire of it.

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Yeah, it's not that great. It's not as bad as Avatar. Althought Avatar was a technical breakthrough and incredible to watch in 3D, the story was too boring.clickie wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:21 amOh yeah I hear that's a movie you should definitely see in 3-d.

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Apollo 11 looks incredible!! I think I'm going to check it out over the weekend.
An excellent review with some interesting info of the making of the doc and how the music was created.

I guess James Cameron is tied up with Avatar for four more sequels so that's about all we're gonna get to see from him.perkana wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 8:13 amYeah, it's not that great.

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Went to see Captain Marvel last Sunday. Dreadful movie, so fucking boring. Not as bad as some other Marvel movies (like Ant Man 2 or... Ant Man) and certainly not as bad as some DC movies (like Aquaman), but it was very poor. If you like Marvel movies but skip this, you really really won’t be missing anything.
3.5/10

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
It does look a bit boring, but I want to watch it. Have you seen Wonder Woman? I really liked that one a lot and I have a huge crush on Gal Gadot
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Yeah... I thought it was terrible too
Captain Marvel is better than that one.

They're fucking comics, man
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I managed to watch until 0:33.
Quintin, if you read this: I thank you for Pulp fiction and Jackie Brown, but now please stop making movies, it's over. You lost it big fuckin time.

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
It looks good
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I think it looks interesting. DiCaprio actually looks like an adult now.
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
Q still has it....imho
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
I watched “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” last night and thought it was fantastic. The animation was unlike anything I’ve ever seen, the story was engaging, the message was sweet, all the characters felt real. I really enjoyed it. I kind of wish I had seen it in 3D.
Completely recommended. 7.5/10.

Us was great. Anyone else see it?
Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"
No I haven't seen that. I guess Jordan Peele is bringing back The Twilight Zone that might be interesting
