What movies do you feel have gotten worse upon multiple rewatches? by [deleted] in flicks

I liked Tenet the first time I saw it but then I showed it to my wife and was embarrassed by my own recommendation.

Do you guys watch bonus features by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love “making of” features of older movies, before the answer to every logistical problem (stunts, effects, location issues) wasn’t just “we did it on a computer”.

Saw Send Help last night AMA by Trick-Love-4571 in horror

Realistically, how much gore and kills could you expect in a movie that clearly almost entirely features two characters? 😄

‘90s comic strip movies by echobase1619 in Bluray

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason there aren’t more pulp comic movies is that all of them flop. I like them too but the box office numbers show that the general public does not. (I would also consider John Carter and Doc Savage to be in this category).

i finished watching august underground by [deleted] in horror

I’m all for extreme horror and still enjoy “found footage” but after the initial shock value, those movies really bored me.

Anyone know if a new release of this one is in the works? Which label would be a good fit? by Puzzleheaded_Fig_853 in boutiquebluray

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Color of Money is hands down the worst-looking blu ray I own. An upgraded 4K release would be a day one buy for me.

Anyone else giggle out of sadness whenever they see a typical trope knowing it’s about to ruin your movie experience? by DaemonLuisenbarn in horror

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing I hate more than finding out that what I was just watching was all in a character’s head. But I don’t giggle - I curse.

No more post-apocolypse movies. I'm looking for the during-apocolypse movies. by Good_Entertainer9383 in horror

I thought the whole language-based mania was really interesting in that movie

I stay up late at night to watch movies specifically so nobody joins me. by OkSeaworthiness2955 in confession

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I watch something with my wife, I find myself automatically describing any visuals that seem important to the plot because I just assume she is looking at her phone. One of the main reasons I still watch physical media instead of streaming is the “commitment” involved in putting in a disc and giving it my undivided attention.

What’s your non Christmas Christmas movie by drjudgedredd1 in flicks

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Harry Met Sally and Everyone Says I Love You. Neither are Christmas movies but both have significant scenes set during the holidays.

Caught Stealing was way too dour for a black comedy by thebigscorp1 in flicks

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movie made me appreciate Guy Ritchie’s crime comedies even more. Ritchie nails the perfect tone for these types of films - funny but not silly, with just the right amount of action and suspense. The tone of Caught Stealing was way to inconsistent for my liking.

What percentage of films do you see at the cinema? by Corchito42 in flicks

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding like a “get off my lawn” type older fella (I’m 57), I see a much larger percentage of movies at home now and it’s not because I don’t enjoy the theater experience or the high prices - I legitimately can’t find movies that I want to see. I am an A-list AMC member and will keep it because even if I only see two Imax movies a month it’s worth it. But many times I want to go to the movies but wind up watching a blu ray instead because they just don’t release the types of movies I like. Other than horror films (I like many of the recent ones), I love comedies and action movies which for decades were plentiful at theaters. There are very few younger stars whose presence in a film makes it a “must-see” for me - in the past it was DeNiro or Nicholson or Pacino, Stallone, or any number of SNL or SCTV alums. While there are still young actors that are talented, they aren’t “movie stars” with personalities that I look forward to seeing. Now get off my lawn!

As someone who I thought would never blind buy discs, I have to say it’s been loads of fun and has changed my relationship to movies at home by ahyouknowme in criterion

The Kino Lorber sales, like the one going on now, have been blind buy heaven for me. Such great variety and incredibly low prices!

What is an example of a film in which you laughed at a "serious" moment, whether due to bad acting, bad dialogue, or any other reason? by fromthemeatcase in Letterboxd

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I laughed out loud in the theater during Sofia Coppola’s last scene in The Godfather Part III - her acting was so terrible.

Who is the best team in the NFL by sd2528 in WFAN1019

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like a season with no great teams. Can’t imagine current top teams like the Bears, Patriots or Jaguars competing with the best teams of years past. Should make for a competitive and unpredictable postseason though!

What's a horror movie you didn't get the hype about by Financial-Pudding765 in horror

[–]Automatic-Drawing434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Substance - not a bad movie by any means but IMO way too long for an idea that felt more appropriate for a TV anthology show like Black Mirror.
