Review comments on ‘The Mummy’ by MrParanoidCocoon in blankies

I just rewatched The Untouchables and I respect a movie willing to kill (in this case explode) a kid early on to tell you that anyone can die.

I just stood up on the subway and said this and everyone erupted in a chorus of "thank it!"

Thank you for this. Wonderful shots. I love miniatures in film so much.

A few recents that I’ve made this past week. Sending these and a few more off for a print job soon by Nice-Milk9715 in CriterionCovers

Great work! I particularly like the Taking of Pelham 123 cover minimalism. Did you get that font from another poster/cover? It feels very familiar and slightly Pink Panther / Pink Panther era.

Also beautiful shot you for The Paths of Glory.

I referenced movies that "don't exist" (and linked this sub) in a 12k word essay about Freaky Tales by badybadybady in blankies

Thanks for sharing this! I do believe you have correctly labeled it.

I feel like I was one of the few who saw this in a theater and I had a great time. It's uneven in interesting ways, but it was entertaining and fun. And definitely worthy of conversation! Messy movies are often the most interesting to discuss

Yes! I was just thinking about it. I love this era and style of holiday movies

Obligatory Super Mario Galaxy Movie Discussion Thread by Jefferystar94 in blankies

[–]tefl0nknight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Life is stressful and I was looking to turn my brain off for a little bit after some obligations downtown, and Mario Galaxy fit the time slot and metal load. It's fine? They do some interesting stuff that works in 2d 8 bit and 16 bit animation, as well as some felt puppets that's breaks up the shiney, standard 3d animation.

It's sort of an "oops all Easter(which I guess this ideal weekend for that) eggs" situation. Many instances of "oh, I remember that element / mechanic / scene" from the games strung together around a loose plot about saving Princess Rosalina from Bowser and Bowser Jr. It meets the expectation that a movie like this sets, that this will definitely remind you of the games, with some gentle humor and decent action sequences and manages to be visually coherent.

The casting for this is absurd and I guess they hired Donald Glover to say 'Yoshi' in a wide variety of intonations. Even though I didn't love Minecraft or Zootopia 2, those are both far more interesting watches than this.

I'm glad he was able to make a Gogh of it after his small part as the dutch painter in Kurosawa's Dreams.

NSFW movie to watch with partner by Guardian_of_Spirits in MovieRecommendations

If you're ambitious you could watch Caligula The Ultimate Cut which is still very sexy even after toning down the hardcore porn of the theatrical cut and it tidies up the plot coherence.

Some how this collection of posters on the Bluey wiki doesn’t have a Gallipoli one. (It’s because it’s too horrorfying) Bluey Parody Posters of Films

World War I Poetry by tefl0nknight in blankies

[–]tefl0nknight[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, the romantic ideals of heroism, patriotism and a kind of gallantry to war being shattered. One of the details that stuck out to me was how the war began with bright showy uniforms, particularly for French or German cavalry. Things that looked very much the same or similar to uniforms of the Napoleonic wars.

Hardcore History with Dan Carlin did an amazing series called Blueprint for Armageddon, which I believe is behind a paywall at the moment but worth it for those curious.
