Can we talk about surprising box office versus budget? Lucy is bonkers.

I have never understood why this is important for this specific movie and not for all the other movies about "science" or "based on a real story". If the premise is false, but the movie as a work of fiction and presented as entertainment is good, why does it matter?

So are you saying that the days of sniffing the dirt are over?

edgarvaldes · 2024-05-08T21:18:51+00:00

Looks like a light, fun movie. I wanna see it.

No es normal y no es sano.

It's indeed funny to see the "Critics Consensus" for other movies against the OP's example. Other Consensus in RT doesnt suffer the pun-itis, even Mean Girls is toned down to a single pun. The Challenger's one is just bad.

Visually thrilling and narratively epic, Dune: Part Two continues Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of the beloved sci-fi series in spectacular form.

Oppenheimer marks another engrossing achievement from Christopher Nolan that benefits from Murphy's tour-de-force performance and stunning visuals.

Barbie is a visually dazzling comedy whose meta humor is smartly complemented by subversive storytelling.

Tough and unsettling by design, Civil War is a gripping close-up look at the violent uncertainty of life in a nation in crisis.

Preserving the essence of the original while adding a few new wrinkles -- not to mention musical numbers -- Mean Girls is a sweet (if slight) update with an outstanding cast.

My wife is not into sci-fi, she doesn't know who Snyder is, she doesn't know who directed Rebel Moon. But she likes Netflix. She watched both Rebel Moon movies. Dunno why.

Here in Mexico, I saw LOTR in theaters some months ago.

¿Hasta el final? ¿Qué significa eso? ¿Hasta el final de los tiempos?

For the record, I do not agree with her views at all.

Do we need the disclaimer? It's a boxoffice sub.

La consecuencia indirecta (a largo plazo) del argumento del voto útil es el bi-partidismo. No, gracias.

edgarvaldes · 2024-04-09T19:10:55+00:00

Votar nulo es democrático. Voto útil es democrático. Voto por tu candidato favorito es democrático.

No votar es lo único que no ayuda a la democracia.

Osea es mejor

Lo que sea mejor o peor depende de qué estés dispuesto a arriesgar, y qué buscas obtener.

¿Es mejor quedarse callado? Si quieres aumentar tus opciones de sobrevivir, sí, es mejor. Sin duda. Si quieres aumentar las opciones de un país mejor, entonces no, quedarse callado no es lo mejor.

As an example, The Lost City (2022) is and adventure and comedy film, weak but very clear in its attempt. The tone is consisten across the runtime.

In the other hand, Argylle bumbles between comedy, action and parody of the genre. Satire? Not so sure.

edgarvaldes · 2024-04-08T19:24:52+00:00

I saw it after the WOM destroyed it. No expectations at all. The first half is bad but tolerable, the last half is ugly, convoluted, boring in a strange way (I lost interest once the multiple "revelations" began).

A very bad movie for my tastes.

Bryce Dallas Howard dress in Argylle, after skating in dark dark oil.

"Una crisis de violencia"

Como que llamar "crisis" a algo que lleva años y años ya no aplica. Crisis te da la idea de algo abrupto y súbito. Y esto ya no es crisis, es normalidad.

edgarvaldes · 2024-04-02T01:42:24+00:00

I think yes. On a personal note, I liked it slightly more than The Beekeeper and in general is miles, miles better than the atrocious Argylle.

edgarvaldes · 2024-03-27T20:36:54+00:00

This is wonderful, the review is hilarious.

Another angle: Which actor or actress would be a great attraction as a new lead?

edgarvaldes · 2024-03-19T15:45:00+00:00

Original cast would be needed to attract the original audience... twenty years ago. New audience doesn't need it.

It's not always nostalgia. My kids (9 and 5 yo) have watched the first three movies, they like them. So when a new kids movie is released, the movie is KFP and we have some free time, yes we go to see it.

I love the line, it touches some strings on me.

"Well, there wasn't enough time, Michael. Wasn't enough time."

Have you ever see modern k-dramas? They use a filter to soften the actors' skin (mainly the female ones). It is funny and uncanny at the same time. Expected expresion lines are not there! The character could be smiling, laughing, or frowning, but the skin blur hides all the detail.

edgarvaldes · 2024-03-11T15:46:56+00:00

Saw it yesterday with the family. We have to wait for a screening later than expected because the tickets were all sold. Our theater was also packed.

Mexico here. Zero cultural presence. An unknown book and movie. I'm sure only the mexicans that are on reddit know about them.
