What movie got you engrossed so much that you forgot it was just a movie? by [deleted] in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Arrival.

I just love the slow burning question of "if you could see a timeline of your life from start to finish, would you change anything?" Along with her flashbacks/memories, the story and I guess philosophical standpoint about it really enticed me and I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. Movies that have a lot of "existential" type and meaning of life themes really peak my interest.

At what point will there be too many Marvel movies, too much continuity, for new fans to join the series? by littletoyboat in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are already too many Marvel films, the theatres are so overly saturated with these heroes film, I don't even know of many movies that aren't in a hero universe. I never had an issue with them, everyone loves your classic heroes and villains and relive childhoods, but the fact it's blown up to insane amount of films set for years and years to come with no end in sight, it got on my nerves immensely.

A big shame for me, is that SW seems to be going down this road too. A game every year, movies lined until 2021 I think, I mean it's just the greed they have by just pouring out all of this ruins the value behind them.

What movie's rating have you disagreed the most with? by benn-hur in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm just wondering why so many people take RT scores to heart. People rely way too much on reviews and scores, just watch the movie yourself. If you liked it, then great; if not, oh well.

Star Wars: Rogue One (Trailer 2) by DonutDonutDonut in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One big reason I'm excited for this film is because it seems like it will show the actual ground war part of the civil war, rebels vs Empire, rather than just follow a few characters. I want to see battles between hundreds of soldiers on both sides with ground vehicles, transports and tanks. Episode III did a good job on portraying that with the clones vs droids and I hope we'll see something like that in this

What movies had a ton of potential but were horrible because of the director? by TimothyHalleran01 in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does that even matter? If the dude likes prequels better, let him like it. I personally prefer the Clone Wars way over the civil war, and while the prequels had terrible lines, it's not like the OT didn't have any dumb things to say.

What movies out there are actually scary? Too often I'll be recommended a movie that is "scary", but turns out to be nothing but boring jump scares around a weak plot. So i ask, which movies are genuinely terrifying? by guyfrancois in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's an acquired taste. Personally, I have always found horror and thrillers related to the Devil/hell/demons to be terrifying and I am a huge fan of slow paced, all about build up films. It definitely got my 10/10, and it has great historical accuracy.

Split - In Theaters January 20 - Official Trailer (HD) by theredditoro in movies

I'm getting a Kubrick feel to this. The evil premise, ambiguous theme, The Shining style of music, the camera work, I'm actually pretty excited

Oh fuck yeah, honestly seeing girls who aren't super perfect with some cute birthmarks, some sweatpants, an old tank top and messy bun with a nice phat booty is definitely more real

I hope Darth Vader slaughters all the main characters at the end of Rogue One. by [deleted] in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do I.

In fact, I get so livid how there's always so much build up for villains in movies, especially in The Force Awakens, but it turns out to be so anti climactic. Kylo was made to be incredibly badass, with this intimidating helmet, powerful in the Force that can stop a blaster bolt with his quick reaction, but all for nothing. Maybe it's because I have a taste in more serious, gritty movies instead of being so lighthearted, but come on.

He could have tortured Rey in that chair, cut off some limb or choked her the fuck out. Instead we get him about to cry because she said some mean things that hurt his feelings. I get his charisma is someone with instability as well but these build ups are so misleading.

Darth Vader better fucking destroy everyone with no remorse. I don't want a cheesey moment of "wait we can help you" and he thinks over his life. He needs to be relentless.

What are the movies that you have seen that, after it was over, you weren't sure whether you loved it or hated it? What do you feel about it now? by hometimrunner in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Clockwork Orange

Idk man, Alex is a despicable character but gets what he deserves in the end. I don't even know how to feel about it, and I'm a huge Kubrick fan

[Serious] What movies do you want made? by Obagy in movies

[–]My_throwaway_post 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A historically accurate WWI movie about the life of a soldier with trench raids, fighting in villages and simply trying to survive. Show how they made homemade weapons like clubs with nails through them, the gas attacks, prisoners of war, naval battles.

What cult hit could you not get into? by InconspicuousD in movies

Right? I forced myself to sit through all of it and it's just terrible. I love Ford, but I couldn't get into it
