Sam's Thread of Movie Lists and Chit Chat (w/Jake)

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

I was wondering why Disney's next feature is called Walt Disney was Kind of a Piece of Shit but that makes more sense after the Frozen thing.



You can't throw Finding Nemo and Monsters University into the mix?

Those are closer to every FEW days, but yes, no more than 2 or 3 days goes by without those too. And Monsters Vs Aliens.

I think I would've cared about Annihilation if I hadn't seen it on a 14 inch screen.

- You Were Never Really Here should attract a similar following to Drive if anybody sees it
- I also rewatched The Greatest Showman Sing-a-Long version. Don't age past 30. It changes you.
- Ready Player One had me as soon as that 10 minute sequence in the middle started. You'll know the one.
- Peter Rabbit is the cruelest film I've seen in a long time.
- Mary Magdeline is the first film I've ever walked out on.

Damn, you've been on a spree this month.

I've heard mixed reports about Ready Player One. My friend told me it was just nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia, but if I like that kind of nostalgia to begin with, it wouldn't hurt at all to give it a watch, would it?

[Y 2 Jake]

I found myself going "oh shit, a Gremlin" and so forth every few minutes. The film played me and I don't care.

I'm sure it won't hold up on repeat viewing.

[JGlass]

I'm extremely skeptical of Ready Player One. I read the book and wasn't too impressed, but at least the movie looks like a visual feast if nothing else.

Jake's 4 star review might be enough to convince me to check it out on Sunday. I'm also impressed that Pacific Rim 2 got 3 stars, I figured it would be hot garbage.

[Y 2 Jake]

I think if you like Pacific Rim you'll have problems with Pacific Rim 2. I don't even remember it. #2 entertained me in the same way Justice League did in that I was constantly going "Eh what?" in my head and before I knew it is was having fun I didn't sign up for.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I'll wait for Pacific Rim 2 to come out on tape. Should only be a few weeks away anyway considering the speed of movie to tape releases.

[Y 2 Jake]

Tape? I thought they'd stopped making them in 2005.

[Spidey]

I'm a sucker for those "look how 80s we are" movies/shows so if Ready Player One has references, that's probably worth going for me.
