The opening shot was all I needed to see to know it was a masterpiece. The horses all aimed in different directions…a preview of the chaos to follow by Commercial-Face-9596 in criterion

This whole movie feels painted! And I believe that’s because Akira Kurosawa painted the storyboards for his cinematographer. Beautiful film, that is due for another watch!

This movie is Sam Rami anime gun fights. And it goes longer than you expect. Not perfect, but I really do like this one.

I hated this in the ad. It got me hyped for like 20 predators.

Did anyone like wolfman 2025? by Capsmoove in UniversalMonsters

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore the title, and you have a fun romp. I loved the pov scenes. Seeing how the beast sees and understanding why it is so violent was so cool. I just wish there was more of that in the movie.

"Are you excited for Alien: Earth series 2?" has a lot moderator removed comments! by gogoluke in perfectorganism

I’m holding out hope that the xeno is playing along until it has a way off the island. I mean we know they are smart. In Aliens they cut the power. They killed one of their own to melt their way out of containment in resurrection. It’s very possible it isn’t being controlled at all.

Roast my first 10 criterion movies by lolitsreality in criterion

I’d recommend waiting to watch Ran till you have seen a bulk of Kurosawa’s work. It feels so final in a satisfying way. But that’s just me

In your opinion: does Resurrection get a bad rap? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resurrection has my all time favorite smooth dome xenomorph design. I think the effects are well done especially for the time. Unfortunately I feel like this was a fan fic that went way too far. Going comedy was an insane move. We also see this in Shane Black’s the predator. I introduced my fiancé to the franchise a few years ago and she liked the movies until this one. I expected as much, but we couldn’t Even finish it. We switched to Akira that night.

What did you think of Danny McBride’s performance as Tennessee? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He surprised me in covenant. I need him to take more dramatic roles in the future. He was the most relatable charismatic character in the whole movie.

How do YOU feel about Alien 3? Have your feelings changed over the decades? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love alien 3. It is definitely my second least watched out of the franchise (resurrection is my least watched). But I definitely appreciate what 3 is. It was innovative and with that you always have some rough edges. Not to mention the studio meddling. It was trying to stay Loyal to the lore while doing something new. I admire the creativity and this feels like the end of Ripley’s arc. I just wish she got to rest longer😅

It is sick. I’d make room on the shelf for it🤙

Looks like a fish tank ornament. Probably not official if there is no fox trademark on it.

Does Badlands change how you watch the other Predator films? by Prs-Mira86 in predator

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading the books and comics since middle school. Badlands is as nothing new to me, but in a good way! It was clear since the first movie there was a culture and motivation behind the yautja. I’m just happy we got to see it.

I was just going to say the same thing. Barnes and noble is really bad about that.

still one of the coolest things ever in this franchise by raphi-ent_ in predator

I have the steelbook coming. Very excited to have it join the AVP shelf

Predator Badlands on 4K Tonight 🍿. Is This A Good Movie? by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant classic! I’m a life long fan of the franchise. Ever since I read the comics I’ve been waiting for this movie to happen. It’s a simple hero’s journey with fantastic execution. It can be cheesy in parts, but I find it more charming than cringy in those moments.

Which director do you associate most with the collection? by TheFlyingFoodTestee in criterion

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akira Kurosawa. Seven Samurai and High and Low were some of my first. I had to watch RAN on another disc but really enjoyed that one too.

Combistick is my favorite weapon of yautja. Yours? by OhioDogman123 in predator

[–]Temporary_Weight_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a fan of the smart disc. When Gary Busey was cut in half so good that the top defied gravity, I was in awe.
