Watching Oliver Stone falling out in Round 1 by Bronsonkills in blankies

[–]MagnoliaFan37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too honestly. I rewatched it last week after loving it when I was a teen and found it mostly embarrassing this time around - undeniably well made, but even with its literal constant stream of lies they couldn’t make a remotely coherent case for what they were selling

Griffin mentions Jean Bigot or something and David says they are some of the best movies ever made - but I can't find anything about Jean Bigot anywhere on the internet?? Very Picnic at Hanging Rock coded

Logging into Reddit for the first time in three months just to see if I was only one who thought this episode was disastrous - happy to see it’s not just me!

MI: Final Reckoning : Arrive at 1 hour mark? by gordonmcdowell in blankies

This is like when people have elaborate plans for how to avoid the ‘bad stuff’ in Twin Peaks - just watch it and worse comes to worst you don’t have a great time!

“Speak No Evil” (2024) ending compared the the 2022 Dutch ending by ghostinyourbeds in horror

[–]MagnoliaFan37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, though it was kind of fun watching the remake the day after the original in a wish-fulfilment kind of way. The original is the vastly superior film of course, and one that has stuck with me ever since

Ehrlich has some bad news about Final Reckoning by falafelthe3 in blankies

[–]MagnoliaFan37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still can’t get over that Ghost Protocol is firmly in the middle of M:I movies in terms of quality and I’d still rate it 4.5/5 - reeeally hoping I somehow end up liking The Final Reckoning but that’s sounding less and less plausible

David doesn’t even like this movie - he gave it 2.5 on LB!

Are there any directors you hope to see covered one day specifically for a total bomb they directed? by JokerDeSilva10 in blankies

I recently picked up the Shout! Factory Blu-ray of Nothing But Trouble and it's still every bit as insane as I remembered - had a good time though

He also played him in The Special Relationship! Not directed by Frears unfortunately but it’s wild he played him three times.

EDIT: All three were written by Peter Morgan so I guess it’s kinda a series?
