A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
They lost me by having the sloth sequence be 90% of the trailer. I was clawing at my seat expectantly waiting for the next preview to start so I wouldn't have to watch/listen to that anymore.
FYI: I don't remember it being a big part of the trailer but that scene seems interminable in the movie.
Okay, I see now, the sloth trailer at the first link is probably a good percentage of that scene. Not quite all I don't think.
The sloth trailer seemed to me like a trying-too-hard copy of the scotch tape gag in Big Hero 6. Like it's a Disney mandate to have one of those in all of their movies.
ION -- OMG GHOSTBUSTERS TRAILER!!! I am all the way there for that movie. It looks like it's going to be really good.
Yes! Can't wait.
What is your favorite film from the last year that was not nominated for any Oscar?
So my friend just reminded me of the real answer to this -- Magic Mike XXL!!!
Magic Mike XXL!!!
Yes!!!
What is your favorite film from the last year that was not nominated for any Oscar?
Maybe Dope, which was GREAT and everyone should watch it.
Maybe Dope, which was GREAT and everyone should watch it.
Note: I take full responsibility for this.
My top ten favorite non-nominated films would probably fall roughly in this order:
The Diary of a Teenage Girl
Tangerine
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Spy
Bande de filles (Girlhood)
Meadowland
Dope
McFarland, USA
Mistress America
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
I'd put most of these above most of the "best" pictures in terms of interest/enjoyment.
I've only watched Spy and MI - Rogue Nation on Megan's list. Gotta get to the rest of it soon! Both Dope and Tangerine are on my Netflix watchlist, I think.
Has anyone seen The Witch? I watched it about a week ago and it's been plaguing my mind, especially that ending. But anything I can say about that would be spoilery so... I would just say consider giving it a shot even if you're not a fan of horror. I didn't find it that scary, but there are scenes and images in it that are indelible.
For those who've watched it, the folks at The Next Picture Show Podcast (one of my favourite recent podcast finds -- hat tip to the Pop Culture Happy Hour folks for recommending it) did a nice compare-and-contrast between The Witch and The Wicker Man, which I found quite fun.
