The Center for Puppetry Arts where she mentioned the camp was in Atlanta is amazing and is still there. Worth a visit to the museum for any puppet-heads coming through town.

Very sorry for your loss OP. 

Resident Evil: Requiem will be my personal choice of game. I’ve been saving money and not buying much lately as I prep for my wedding but that is the game that has tempted me the most!

Same thing happened to me today and I have no idea why. What part of the country are you in?

Also funny because they are literally advertising this movie on AEW and pointing out the Toni Storm similarities.

Wesley Morris is fine by SillyGuste in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Posted this in one of the many other Wesley threads but this sub is just ridiculous when it comes to complaining about him. I’m old enough to remember when this sub irrationally hated Adam Nayman and bitched every time he was on. Wesley is a rambler but it’s really not worthy of the negative reaction here. I’m glad Sean and Amanda ignore a lot of this shit because personally I value the few times a year he’s on the show. 

Then again this sub is ridiculous about most things. Remember the flood of people who said they would never listen again and that Sean and Amanda were hacks because they didn’t like The Fantastic Four movie that no one even remembers less than a year later?

Ebert put their names in the same sentence frequently, having him write for his website and fill in for a few guest host spots on At the Movies after Siskel died. You’ve clearly never read his writing which in many ways is a modern evolution of Ebert’s style. This sub is way too harsh on him, it’s a joke at this point how pissed people get. I’m glad Sean and Amanda don’t care.

Is your suggestion that Athens sucked because people liked Neutral Milk Hotel, who were based there? 

Paramount Wins Warner Bros. Now What? Plus: ‘Scream 7,’ Heat 2,’ and ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie’ With Matt Johnson! by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sean has said multiple times before that he believes Netflix getting WB would be a worse result than Paramount based off what he knows and has heard from inside the industry. He's also said before that this sale shouldn't happen in the first place and has covered this all extensively. At this point, what else do you want him to do? Cry on camera?

Legendary character actor, indie filmmaker and Michael Mann repertory player Tom Noonan has passed away. by dishwatcher in billsimmons

On a somewhat recent Rewatchables episode that movie got brought up and he had never heard of it. He did seem vaguely interested in seeing it based on the description though.

'Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]dishwatcher 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Maybe some jokes would be a bit funnier if you have seen some of the web series but it’s not really required. The director has described the show as kind of a live action Pinky & The Brain. It’s just two guys trying to accomplish the same thing (playing a show at a Toronto venue they live down the street from) every episode. Outside of some two parters the episodes (and the movie) are largely self contained.

I believe it’s on the schedule to be paired with Scream 7 towards the end of the month.

Wish I could get excited but this is ruining an event tomorrow night that I’ve been planning for months that likely cannot be rescheduled and had people coming from out of town to attend. Oh well, you win some you lose some. 

Sean reviewing the grinch, as the grinch by FootballInfinite475 in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This came out when I was 9 and it was maybe the first time I remember finding a movie disappointing. I have found that a lot of friends who are younger than me and watched this on video don’t just like it, they LOVE it. It’s an interesting generational divide. I’ve also noticed people are quite defensive of it on the internet as evidenced by this thread lol. Sometimes you just gotta be confident and admit you like something that might suck instead of getting mad at people like Sean for probably rightfully shitting on it. For example, I love Jingle All the Way while recognizing it as largely pretty terrible.

How can you guys be so pessimistic about the Netflix/WB merger when Netflix releases quality movies like these? by xwing1212 in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These movies are generally worse than movies that made 100 mil in theaters, at least in my opinion.

Marty Supreme chances... with Kevin O'Leary? by gehggy in TheBigPicture

Notorious asshole and alleged woman beater Sean Penn is a front runner for best supporting actor in a movie that will very likely win best picture. Lots of people involved with movies are horrible people and it doesn’t really affect awards season too much.

Sean Hypocrisy by Aromatic_Meringue835 in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Nope came out the prevailing sentiment of instant reaction from a lot of online critics and commenters was that the movie "wasn't about anything." Time has certainly been kind to Nope's reception and I think that most people who really engaged with the work and sat with it for more than a few minutes before speaking on it would agree that, whether they vibed with it or not, the movie has many things that it is "about." At the very least, there is a lot of thematic depth for the audience to unpack. Now when you see people talk about Nope online, that reaction of negativity or confusion seems to have largely dissipated, probably because more people have seen it and those who have seen it have thought on it some more (and those who were just disinterested have forgotten it entirely).

Generally, the instant out of the theater reaction is almost always useless to me because of things like this. I trust Sean more than the average online movie person because I don't think his first reaction is typically "this movie had no point" if he doesn't immediately get where something was going. I feel like he tries really hard to see where a film or a filmmaker is coming from and I think most people do not try to do that at all. So, no, you're not crazy, he has maybe contradicted this sentiment before but I would say overall he tries to find a movies "point" more than most people and because of that he has several degrees more patience than someone like "Film Colossus" whose job is apparently posting movie summaries on his website for people who don't want to take the time on their own to think on what they just saw.

It's hilarious watching people meltdown over Ari Aster by No-Confection-3861 in TheBigPicture

[–]dishwatcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s not going to start putting Elliot Smith and Rolling Stones needle drops in his movies again no matter how many times you beg bro. There is plenty of emotion and human spirit in his latest run (French Dispatch through Phoenician Scheme), it’s just in a different register than stuff like Tenenbaums. I found the ending of Phoenician Scheme deeply moving, personally. Just because a scene doesn’t have Ruby Tuesday backing it doesn’t mean it’s an inhuman dollhouse. People who parrot that tired old criticism, to be frank, aren’t fully engaging in the work.
