OT: Let's talk about movies (and TV shows)... Part XII

[MasterDecoy]

It's not like Reynolds is as libbing out there, someone wrote that material for him

 

[KrejciMVP]

quick ranking of movies I saw these holidays/Winter

13th Hour -loved the action
Starwars - it was well done the but wasn't a fan of the villain
Hateful 8 - slow start but I enjoy the 2nd half
Dead Pool - not enough cameo's of Xmen Characters, villain was lame, wasn't a fan of the script
The Revnant - Took a date to this and saw it after Hateful 8. Another 2.5 hours in the woods bored me to death. After the movie, my date and I just went our separate ways lol

Also just finished Hannibal on Net Flex. Great show.

Deadpool was good. I loved it. Funny and different to other Marvel movies IMHO.

While I find Suits took a hard dive off a cliff since resuming this year (can't blame the show, it's been on life support for some time now and perhaps needed to be put out of misery), one aspect of it has improved unquestionably.

The score has gotten incredibly better since the return. Wonder if anyone else has noticed.

hard to justify going to Cineplex on weekends anymore, when cinema Guzzo has 8$ Imax 7$ regular mantinee's

I'm still catching up, about to start S4 on Netflix. I'm still enjoying it but I wish it focused less on the personal drama/relationships and more on the cases. It feels more like a soap opera these days.

The downside of that is...you have to go to Cinema Guzzo

That's exactly the point I made earlier in this thread. Suits had its hit single and it was great. But it's been playing it since the very early days and it got repetitive & tiresome. The producers knew it too. So they had to introduce something new to the table and I think they missed the mark completely by trying to focus on personal lives of its characters, and/or their emotions.

Because, newsflash, nobody cares! If you didn't build them up to begin with you can't just dip into the well whenever you're feeling a little pressed for substance. For example, that episode when they tried to make us care for Donna and her father was outright laughable.

Avoid.

Yeah I don't think it's amazing TV or anything but it's entertaining enough for now. I tune out whenever there's Mike/Rachel whiny relationship drama or whatever and tune back in when they start talking about legal stuff. Not sure if I've gotten to that episode about Donna yet but it sounds brutal.

Guzzo's reward card is such garbage. I swear u need to see 50 movies to get a free soda. The sound in the west Island Guzzo Imax is quite good IMO

I haven't been in to Guzzo in a while so I probably shouldn't criticize. The Cineplex reward points (Scene Club) are pretty good though.

And actually I've had a couple of recent experiences at the Colisee (non-IMAX) where the sound was really flat or lacking.

 

[GoodKiwi]

I'd appreciate if someone can point me to a place I can hear the soundtrack from "Self-Defense" episode (it plays throughout, but you can hear it around 38 minute mark) of Suits. It's really really good. Not sure which one I'm referring to in particular but it can be any of these three:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5181370/soundtrack

It's possible it's not even on that list and I have a feeling I've heard it before somewhere.

Must. Listen. To. It.

 

[Habsawce]

No one else watching Letterkenny?

 

[Tabarouette]

y'all who go to the movies often, I don't know how you can enjoy it that much. The screen and sound sure is fun, but the whole experience is always a pain in the ass AND costs too much AND people suck

Movie theaters lost all of their appeal a while ago, it's not enough to get me going

 

[GoodKiwi]

I'm about to indulge myself and marathon all 10 episodes of Mr. Robot again in one sitting.

For me it's the opposite. I can reserve seats in advance, I can see if the theatre is full or empty and there are more English films than when I grew up. I also go to the VIP in Brossard often. It is more expensive so often it is not as full and the seats are bigger. I don't mind paying more for it.

Lost interest in suits a while ago. I forget which season I stopped in but it got old how he was always boy wonder or always had to worry about his secret.

Then the unnecessary romance and the humanization of Harvey wasn't fun. I liked him more when he was 100% bad ass.

I usually go when I'm bored or I don't feel like waiting for a movie to come out on DVD/BR.

I mean, batman v superman...yah...I'm not waiting.

Me too the preview look good. I'm sure I'll be dissapinted, however I do like this Superman actor.

 

[mitchmagic]

Took me a while to get into Better Call Saul.

It rules.

Cavill is great, it's Ben Affleck I am not sure of.

Loved the first half!

 

[Kimota]

Its true, but ill still watch.

I couldnt stand Ryan Reynold in Dead Pool

His jokes were all so 2003, or Van Wilder, just not funny anymore

I feel like all the promotional stuff and the stuff he did on the internet were better than what was in the movie.

Another big thing is that they showed too much stuff in the trailers. So you knew most of all the good stuff already. Some things they could have gotten further with it. Like when he was injected with the stuff in the laboratory, he could have gotten crazy motormouth with it, so much that the scientist and the other people would have gotten crazy cause of him. But he said a few bad jokes and stopped talking.

Anyone else here getting tired of all this artificial Chinese material they add in Hollywood movies. Just so that the movie appeals to that market? Always feels sort of artificial.

I'm not being xenophobic here, I just like a good movie, with a good story and little producer interference. If it makes sense that China is involved in the story you're telling, fine. If not, don't try to force it in.

Honestly I have not seen it happen much.
