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

[JGlass]

Thor Ragnarok. A-

Unlike party pooper J Glass, I thought this was tremendous. Funny, fantastic action, good balance of the comedy with seriousness.

I don't poop on parties unless there's nowhere else to go. I maintain all my gripes with the film are legitimate and not hipster bullshit like most of the rest of my life.

I can also confirm rumours that the new Jumanji is a whole lot of fun, in a large part thanks to The Rock.

Two people have expressed this opinion to me this past week which I found pretty startling. Might be worth a watch.

[Y 2 Jake]

Jumanji is a 3 star masterpiece.

[Uncle Sam]

I'm going to shit on my own rating system and say: three and a half stars.

I've been looking at A Quiet Place's release schedule and it's... Thursday. Nothing before, nothing after, just... Thursday.

[Y 2 Jake]

Likewise. 10.15 am.

[Uncle Sam]

Don't worry, I sorted it: tickets booked Monday for Isle of Dogs and A Quiet Place in the most organic double bill of all time.

[Big Nick Dudley]

You Were Never Really Here should attract a similar following to Drive if anybody sees it

I feel like this movie is never going to be released, wide, in the U.S. Thought it was going wide this week, but only in NY/LA. Obviously I'm just being a baby, but I really want to see this.

[Y 2 Jake]

The only film that could possibly knock that off my #1 spot for 2018 is Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

A quiet place was very Shyamalan-esque. In the nicest possible way.

And I just like Wes Anderson, OK?

That's a perfectly solid top ten. Can I stop now?

[Y 2 Jake]

You can stop when you've seen Attack of the Adult Babies.

Thanks for ruining my Sunday, Jake. I was mainly amazed at the sheer amount You Were Never Really Here owed to Taxi Driver.
