I watched the Shape of Water and man, I just didn't get it. The acting was good enough, I just really didn't like the story. It did nothing for me. I was actually pretty grossed out by it.





SPOILER WARNING..........





This chick bangs a swamp monster and her co-worker and neighbor don't seem the least bit creeped out by it. WTF?

No, you got it. It's indicative of our sex-obsessed culture.

Rifftrax

These are some of the old Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys and the internet evolution of their show.

There used to be a show on Friday or Saturday nights back in the 80's IIRC that dubbed voices over the movie similar to Rifftrax. Always had me laughing.

It was a good movie, but you are spot on.
Very shitty year for movies. The 2010s have been pretty shitty overall.

Hollywood is spending too much time trying to be artsy, cerebral, and political. Just make a few good flicks without all the messaging please.

Turbokid. Its on Netflix. Its Book of Eli meets 80's meets the cheesiness of Waterworld. Overall, i enjoyed.

Are you thinking Mystery Science Theater 3000? Because Rifftrax evolved from that directly.

Historical note: The initial "Mystery Science Theater was a Minnesota production put together by Joel Hodgson and initially aired on a local TV station, KTMA.
Joel was a fixture in local comedy and had a delightfully twisted and dry sense of humor.
I had the pleasure of working with him a number of times.

With the Oscars ratings setting a new low again, it's fair to say a lot of folks are yelling at the same cloud. I personally don't mind a little messaging now and then, however Hollywood has gone well past the point of saturation.

I mean Kimmel hosted... they literally could not have picked a more antagonistic, one-sided, and completely pompous tool who is currently reasonably relevant to host the thing.... The only thing shocking about the ratings continuing to drop is the fact that Hollywood still can't seem to grasp why.

Hollywood believes for some reason that they are superior and that people care what they have to say. Given the historical hypocrisy and seediness of Hollywood, I mean why wouldn't people care.....

Kimmel - I never watched him, but he used to have a pretty even audience before he took a hard left. Gone are the days when folks like Johnny Carson could entertain while making fun of both sides. That was entertainment, not some holier than thou sermon from the mount we see today. I'd love to watch a host or comedian rip both sides of DC. There's so much from both sides to make fun of.

Pumped for the new Sicario movie... not that's a type of action flick/superhero/anti hero movie I can get into to.

Yeah, that movie looks ridiculously good. I still haven't seen the first one, except for chosen clips. I need to get on it.

Pacific Rim: Uprising

I thought it was a pretty good sequel, maybe better than the original in terms of strength of narrative and action sequences, as far as "giant robots vs giant aliens" goes.

You're not asking for an Academy Award-worthy film when you go to see giant robots fight giant monsters... you're asking for giant robots to fight giant monsters. And that's what the movie gives you, but with a bit of a twist.

John Boyega in this was a better lead than Charlie Hunnam in the original, and Scott Eastwood and Cailee Spaeny give the co-star cast more depth than the original, where it was just Idris Elba, basically.

Charlie Day and Burn Gorman get more face time as the crazy doctors, but it felt kind of forced compared to the first film.

I think it was a better film than the original, and the final act was stronger than the first film's, mostly because the narrative was surprisingly strong for the genre.

10/10, would recommend if you like giant robots battling giant monsters.

True. This is a much more lighthearted film than Grand Budapest Hotel though. There were quite a few kids in the theater and that was not at all inappropriate

The fingers thing is the only thing I can think of. But GBH was a very melancholy movie so I wouldn't take my 7 year old niece to it.

just googled that, yeah, as comedic as it was (they looked like sausage fingers), probably not suitable for a 7 year old
