neekafat: TWENEEK19: Q1 Films

neekafat 04.02.19	again, these will be a little longer in the coming quarters
Divaman 04.02.19	Haven't seen a one of them. Then again, I don't think I've been to the movies at all so far in 2019. Hearing good things about Alita, though. Might try to catch it tomorrow, before it leaves the theaters.
Trebor. 04.02.19	Dumbo is a 1/10, I walked out Just watched Paddleton and it rules hard Lego Movie 2 sucked as well
neekafat 04.02.19	Thought about seeing alita shame on you treb, don't diss the lego movie
CugnoBrasso 04.02.19	I wanted to see Us tonight but well...
Kalopsia 04.02.19	"thanks largely to Larsen's charisma" wut
neekafat 04.02.19	I'd say see it, everyone else loves it Cugno Kalopsia she was great in that movie idc what anyone says
Kalopsia 04.05.19	neek will you quit dicking around and make more of these movie lists?
neekafat 04.05.19	No one ever comments on them ):
Kalopsia 04.05.19	i'll comment. we'll have a big 'ol discussion on the next one you make
neekafat 04.05.19	< 3 stull planning on dumping the 2018 movie list next time I have time for a 3rd attempt at posting
neekafat 04.05.19	damn I've gotta see "Gloria Bell" you putting arctic ahead of Captain Marvel and the Lego Movie makes me kinda mad :/ I will agree that this year is p weak
Kalopsia 04.05.19	at least so far, we got a lot of year left
neekafat 04.05.19	I wanted them to be saved to, it just did it in the most contrived/generic way possible, it would've been an easy 7 up until that point Damn I loved both Lego movies, and I'm also a huge Marvel/pop/action movie apologist considering my background so there's that
neekafat 04.05.19	That's a very good point about the narrative beats for sure though, there's a lot of agency in it for a survival film
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	Us is the only 2019 movie I've seen, everything looks so shit. I might go see beach bum or whatever tho cuz harmony korine rules
Rowan5215 04.05.19	I really loved Us and (don't @ me) Glass. 2019's been a desert though. How the hell you gonna top the Suspiria/Into the Spider-verse combo from last year hollywood
Kalopsia 04.05.19	rowan's right... superiria and spider-verse were both in my top 10 (maybe top 5?) from last year. high bar
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	I missed out on spiderverse in theaters :(, hope it lives up to the hype when I finally see it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	Honestly the only 2019 movie I know of that on really eager for is JOKER after that trailer, looks delightfully demented
Kalopsia 04.05.19	i had kinda low expectations for spiderverse, but wow they hit it out of the park. best Spider-Man movie imo by far
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	Haha not a particularly hard feat
Kalopsia 04.05.19	eh good point. i'll always have a soft spot for Spider-Man2. and i thought Homecoming was pretty good.
Rowan5215 04.05.19	imma go further and say that Spiderverse is, by far, my favourite movie based on any comic ever ever Joker looks like a fucking trip for sure
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	@kalopsia i have generally unpopular opinions of the spider-man movies. i think spider-man 3 is the best of the originals solely because while they are all terrible, its the only one of the 3 thats just so terrible that its hilarious and entertaining. and i think homecoming is the worst spider-man movie. literally everyone i know, many being reliable sources, say spiderverse is just insanely good all around tho so im fired up.
Kalopsia 04.05.19	when i think about Spider-Ham too much, i almost hate him being in the movie. but then his line towards the end: "you got a problem with cartoons?" makes it all okay again
Kalopsia 04.05.19	i hope you like it pots! and the soundtrack is so damn good too.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	haha i dunno, i used to be a pretty avid marvel and dc comic reader so for me spider-ham is just another gleeful addition to a roster of extra-dimensional spider-men i never thought would make it to the big screen in any capacity. although there are some other spiders i would have preferred to have seen in the roster than some of the ones they chose.
Rowan5215 04.05.19	you've gotta see the movie to see how they all play off each other, the writing and voice acting for these obscure niche spider-people variations is utterly delightful and totally justified them
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	apparently they almost used Silk instead of Peni Parker, which I would have loved, but I understand why they didn't. Makes sense to diversify the power-sets with Peni. Also Superior Spiderman and Scarlet Spider would have been awesome
Rowan5215 04.05.19	I actually would admit that Peni Parker is the weakest part of the film for me because she feels a bit tossed in there but the character design's great. Ham and Noir are fucking brilliant
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	Noir is one of the best spidermen ever, casting nic cage to voice him is just a pure "hold my beer" moment. Epic.
Rowan5215 04.05.19	They really just threw a grenade in the vocal booth to see what happened and got fucking gold out of Cage. not for nothing that he has the two funniest lines in the movie by far, as well as one that honestly gave me full goosebumps the first time I watched the movie
Kalopsia 04.05.19	i really hope they do another direct-sequel somehow bringing new 'verses together again, maybe Miles himself getting ripped one at a time into different other dimensions (a la Turtles in Time videogame maybe lol)
Rowan5215 04.05.19	Anyway @neek hope you're enjoying our complete diversion from the intended subject of this list brother
Kalopsia 04.05.19	yep, we've shanghaied your thread. obligatory i am the captain now meme
Rowan5215 04.05.19	"really hope they do another direct-sequel somehow bringing new 'verses together again" spider-gwen sequel's confirmed at this point right? And I can't imagine they'll leave the cliffhanger of SPOILER ALERT POTSY DONT READ THIS Oscar Isaac's time travelling cyberpunk guy hanging without at least one moee movie with Miles. I mean they have carte blanche to literally do whatever they want with sequels given the multiverse concept lol
Rowan5215 04.05.19	oh and MORE SPOILERS YO doesn't the very last line imply Miles is going to Gwen's universe, that definitely seems like a setup for some spider sequel shenanigans
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	yo rowan, my fellow twin peaks mega-stan, new chrysta bell alb came out today
Kalopsia 04.05.19	in terms of upcoming movies, i'm keeping my eye on The Lighthouse (i think it's being called) by the guy who directed The VVitch. high hopes for that movie considering how kick ass VVitch was
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	ohhhhhhhhhh! intrigued
Rowan5215 04.05.19	The Lighthouse sounds so good. VVitch guy + Willem Dafoe? I am in as fuck on that. Apparently the It Follows guy's new movie is an absolute train wreck pastiche that I really wanna see
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	that sucks, It Follows was amazing :[
Rowan5215 04.05.19	"yo rowan, my fellow twin peaks mega-stan, new chrysta bell alb came out today" I honestly never got into her music too much but I'm tempted to try again on the basis of her being unbelievably hot
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	I listen to everything she does on the basis of her being unbelievably hot and in twin peaks but the new album is bad lol.
neekafat 04.05.19	Oh I'm just glad people are finally talking in one of my film threads lmao I'm on set rn so I can't read it all yet but Spiderverse is brilliant yes, haven't seen Suspiria yet ):
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	suspiria is literally one of the best movies ive ever seen, it made me feel things
Rowan5215 04.05.19	It Follows was incredible visually but I thought the plot was one of the silliest I've ever seen tbh. the new one is a neo noir with Andrew Garfield which low-key sounds like a good drunk watch
Rowan5215 04.05.19	you know who else is unbelievably hot and in twin peaks? Sharon Van Etten. I listen to everything she does too. now that's how you segue
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	I mean It Follows was a much better parable of sexual assault or sti's or however you interpret it than Babadook was of grief. Fuck Babadook I hate that movie so much.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	"you know who else is unbelievably hot and in twin peaks? Sharon Van Etten. I listen to everything she does too. now that's how you segue" I'm watching Twin Peaks with my partner for her first time and we just saw the episode where Sharon Van Etten performed like 2 nights ago haha.
Kalopsia 04.05.19	"Fuck Babadook I hate that movie so much." preach. everyone seemed to nut over that movie but i thought it was ass. plus that little kid was so fucking unbearable (i know that's kind of the point of his character in the context of the movie but still)
Rowan5215 04.05.19	I can appreciate the metaphor and everything but they build such a cool world with the visuals and anachronisms and then hella dumb shit like that pool sequence just totally takes me out of it idk
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	dude i have never seen a kid more deserving of an ABORT than that little shit-fucking piece of slum-garbage
Rowan5215 04.05.19	Tarifa was easily my favourite of The Return performances. The Nine Inch Nails and the No Stars song were p good too, but they're no Just You and I
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	haha i loved the pool sequence! i mean sure its silly but i think its appropriately silly given the 80s italo synth horror fellatio that it is
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	@rowan oh yeah James really stole the show lmao, but thats just on its own level. James was ALWAYS cool.
Kalopsia 04.05.19	18th trimester abortion would have been justified for that kid
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	absolutely. and then dump the mom in a ward and call it a day.
Rowan5215 04.05.19	I will to this day and all day defend James for being kind of actually okay and point out that Donna is in fact deserving of all that vitriol because Donna fucking sucks so much
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	James was a mopey fuccboi but The Return was a redemption arch just for the meme. James was never cool until Shelly said that James was always cool. And from that moment forth he was always cool and Just You went from being the worst thing of all time to the best lol.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	but yes tv Donna fucking SUUUUUCKS. movie Donna is a breath of fresh air.
Rowan5215 04.05.19	people really tryina convince me Civil War Ben is the worst storyline when that scene of Donna sucking on James' fingers through the prison bars exists smh. movie Donna's genuinely good yea
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.05.19	Civil War Ben is like, the best post-Leland side story lmao
Rowan5215 04.05.19	Spider-Man 2 is demonstrably not perfect as it has a notable lack of Topher Grace and Topher Grace-related mishaps
Rowan5215 04.05.19	I fucking love Civil War Ben, there's this point a few episodes in when it cuts back to that story and for no discernible reason he's just convinced Jerry and Audrey to be in his fantasy and it wrecks me
Valkoor952 04.05.19	“Larson’s charisma” Ahahahahahhahahahahaha
Kalopsia 04.05.19	let's have some meta-level shit where Tom Holland spoils the plot of Venom2, then that's why Tom Hardy/Eddie Brock hates Spider-Man.
neekafat 04.05.19	Did this nuked
Kalopsia 04.11.19	I watched Unicorn Store (Netflix original) last night, solely looking for a light-hearted feel-good movie. but wow this sucked. Larson's character just came across like some delusional millennial mental ward escapee. 2/5
neekafat 04.11.19	Oof trying to get my 2018 up now
Rowan5215 04.25.19	y'all seen Endgame yet or do I have to keep my lips sealed on that for a couple more days? it's been out in Australia for a bit
Kalopsia 04.25.19	keep dem lips shut. not seeing it until Saturday mate
Rowan5215 04.25.19	Kalop lad I hope you stay off the internet till then cos them spoilers comin out no matter what I say. godspeed
Kalopsia 04.25.19	I've been successful at avoiding any spoilers so far. only thing major I've read that's been hinted/confirmed is that someone major dies (which has been rumored forever so it's nothing i didn't expect). just don't know who or how. but yeah, i'll probably go off the grid sometime today until i see it Saturday just to be safe
