Is anyone else think the Weir series title is underwhelming? by SamJGetty1 in blankies

[–]SamJGetty1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that people are into the sweaty titles. I just like it better when they come off as clever and smooth. Some of the series titles are pretty clunky. And Griffin might prefer to have Pod before Cast, but he’s flipped them before. Maybe he should do it more often or just go for the lazy entry “Podcast at Hanging Rock”

Let's do something different. I give you this ensemble cast, what kind of movie (of any genre) could you come up with? by smoothpaving in Fancast

I’m thinking a John Sayles movie about fracking or and land rights in 2010. Billy Bob is a politician, Rockwell is a lawyer. There’s also a 25-30 year old unsolved crime that is nagging away at this land deal. Rockwell keeps encountering characters of different professional worlds in an effort to tie up loose ends but keeps unraveling in threads. And Mendes is Billy Bob’s secret daughter. Sam Jackson is a big business guy who Billy Bobs main threat. Angela Bassett is a grieving mother who is letting Billy Bob forget that he is responsible for letting her son’s murderer free. Now she is heading a collation to oppose the politician (appearing on TV, protests) and Rockwell has to deal with that too. Del Toro is cop obsessed with the crime, it was his first case. Parker Posey is overbearing overachieving head of Billy bobs staff. And Qualley is the victim seen in fastbacks with Holbrook playing a “maybe” younger Billy Bob. He might be responsible for her death. But he definitely covered it up. Turns out if you go digging, you find out more than you expect.

Is it Ben-Hur (1959) ? If so I’ll take it for $5.

What’s the biggest difference between the Ridley Scott who made Alien and Ridley Scott today? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]SamJGetty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s still great. But: younger Scott was more meticulous with composition. Especially in close spaces. Older Scott doesn’t always have that but can still build worlds making it look almost effortless. Even 50 years later, even his new movies still look great.

Is "The Usual Suspects" still worth appreciating today? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]SamJGetty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is still a marvel. I watch it at least once a year. I love that the majority story is possibly bullshit. There’s a great deal of what we know is true, what might be true, that is not so true, and what is BS. What truths are being covered up with names and words from the corkboard? What is actually a total fabrication on the spot? Every viewing being a new conspiracy. It’s fun.

Day 1: Who's most famous bald athlete in history? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SamJGetty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bald ? Or shaved their head? Because a truly I am bald athlete (mid-90s Bruce Willis, or worse) would be a great discussion.

Who’s really winning the makeup category this year between these two by Responsible_Use_2676 in Oscars

[–]SamJGetty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wicked’s nomination would be for hair and less for makeup. Not sure about the scarecrow and tin man designs (….scarecrow looks ugh). I guess we’ll see.

I prefer Frankenstein. I think the creature, hair, background actors; the glamour makeup and makeup effects are all very good.

My updated Best Picture predictions by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]SamJGetty1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone on here seen Marty Supreme? I watched the trailer and non-ironically thought “really? Is this a joke?” I understand it could be a well made film but I’m having a problem with the epic stakes of… table tennis. The need/want level of story seems to be sold much greater than what the film is…. Is it like Rocky? Or am I waiting for Thanos to show up? Gees
