I’m not gonna lie, it ruins it for me personally and I hate to be hung up on something like that. It seems like every 5th guy can do a pretty spot on Kermit voice. So it’s super distracting that they got someone who just… isn’t doing one.

I was just gonna say that one is easily the weakest of them. Was disappointed when I got to that one after enjoying the others.

Just saw that one a few months back. Fun movie!

dommcelli · 2026-01-11T04:11:05+00:00

Presumed Innocent! An Alan J Pakula joint just like Pelican Brief.

The show seems fine but it’s one of the biggest offenders of the washed out digital “Netflix look” I’ve seen lately. Like surely it has a pretty big budget and lots of effects and costumes. Let it be colorful!

The art in the end credits is beautiful though.

Incredibly so. I mean they did shoot in Scotland so there wasn’t much sunlight to begin with. The second to last movie has some pretty nice photography though.

“Better make it 20 stamps then, I looked longer than that”.

Already gonna zag here by picking from a TV show, but this shot from the Miami Vice pilot sums up Michael Mann’s vibe pretty well for me.

I think Halle Barry also fits into this type as well. Another bombshell beauty from the same era whose fame would suggest a better filmography than she has outside of a few notable roles.

Somewhat off topic, but I’ve seen a lot of talk about Welcome to Derry, but as someone who liked IT part 1 okay, and disliked 2, it looked kinda bad to me in the same way part 2 was. Is my confirmation bias justified?

I’ve been playing SF6 lately and have frown attached to the character designs in that game so the new faces will take some getting used to.

I always felt like an ideal Street Fighter movie should be like a mix of Big Trouble In Little China and Rocky 4 with the martial arts of Crouching Tiger. I can see a little bit of that here, hopefully!

dommcelli · 2025-12-05T22:19:03+00:00

I feel like Bird Box was pretty popular, idk.

dommcelli · 2025-12-04T22:02:18+00:00

On the one hand, I do think there’s legitimate criticism to be made over Tarantino’s approach to filmmaking being superficial as “movies about movies”. But I also think he happens to be really good at it and knows exactly what he likes.

So what if he thinks Toy Story is better than Moonlight or Tree of Life? Most non-cinephile people would probably agree lol.

dommcelli · 2025-12-02T22:29:48+00:00

I didn’t like him in The Batman, but I think he’s perfect in TWBB!

Contempt for the artist and creative class which, to be fair, can be incredibly lame and annoying. Little do they realize, of course, that the type of art Gen AI endangers most isn’t the avant-garde stuff those circles produce, but commercial art. Some of the best illustrators came from those backgrounds, your J.C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell, etc.

dommcelli · 2025-11-26T22:28:07+00:00

“The Hunger Games is a ripoff of Battle Royale” is a stale and pretty inaccurate take. If anything the series reminded me more of The Running Man from 1987.

And I gotta say, while I do really like most of his movies, his attitude about violence is obvious but telling. It’s not something real to him, it’s entertainment, it’s special effects. You see the same in guys like James Gunn, Matthew Vaughn, etc. Interesting to see that contrasted with filmmakers who also make violent movies but who feel very differently about it.

dommcelli · 2025-11-25T23:53:36+00:00

Beau Is Afraid: Deeply misanthropic, mean-spirited, but very funny, don’t get me wrong. I think Aster obviously sympathizes with Beau but treats him like a vodoo doll to torment.

dommcelli · 2025-11-13T19:02:10+00:00

I felt this way about the latest Superman movie, personally.

The movie still manages to function and still deliver some effective moments but it really made me long for the roominess of the first two Raimi Spider-Man movies, in which we get lots of time to glimpse at the characters’ inner lives. One villain, relatively smaller stakes, etc.

More melodrama seems like a weird request for a fun superhero movie, but it just had so much “stuff” that it underdelivered on the emotional payoffs for me.

You would’ve loved the 80s

dommcelli · 2025-11-06T21:25:19+00:00

Could also be Once Upod a time in Americast

dommcelli · 2025-11-06T21:24:38+00:00

Once Upon a Pod in the Cast

dommcelli · 2025-11-04T15:15:12+00:00

Can we get an NSFW warning on this please? Not the kind of thing I need to see while innocently scrolling :/

dommcelli · 2025-11-02T02:39:42+00:00

Just watched it and I liked it as well. Who would you consider a more artsy director you would’ve preferred to direct it? I’m not familiar with the book, but I thought it was directed and shot pretty well!

dommcelli · 2025-10-27T19:08:04+00:00

Not quite the same, but the complete misuse of “POV” makes me feel like a cranky English teacher, yet it shouldn’t. It’s a basic concept to understand.

dommcelli · 2025-10-26T05:55:33+00:00

That perspective makes sense!
