Merged: The Movies Thread

1917 -- really good movie to see in the theaters. Visuals, sound and the cinematography are great.

It feels like the whole movie was just one continuos shot which is weird and cool.

8.5/10

Took the old man to see it yesterday...really good.

Just watched London Has Fallen on demand this weekend. Pretty damn good straight action movie. Some good dry humor lines too.

Star Wars - its alright, i havent really followed the new movies. I watched them.... once .... pretty much didnt know the plot lines but its Star Wars and i was an 80s kid so Im obligated.

Before Star Wars I saw a trailer for a Christopher Nolan movie called Tenet ... looks bad ass. So i just googled the release date ... July 17 2020.

WTF is that about. Seems about 4 months to early to be promoting ... anyway, disappointed its so far back.

edit -- looked into Tenet some more, jesus the budget was 205 Million dollars. Good lord.

Lady Bird -- fuck that movie sucked. Shallow, paint by numbers movie about a high school senior coming of age bit ... which was billed as some great refreshing introspection piece.

Anybody seen Doctor Sleep? I've seen mostly good reviews, just don't know anyone who has seen it yet.

Ive been waiting for this to hit Netflix and so I just googled it. Coming out on dvd on Feb 4.

Learned some bad bit of news I didnt know before.

Don’t hold out hope for Doctor Sleep to land on Netflix any time soon. That’s because the film is a Warner Bros. picture and Warner Bros. has their own streaming service coming out soon: HBO Max. That’s why Warner Bros. movies don’t tend to stream on Netflix, and it means that it’s possible Doctor Sleep will end up available to stream on HBO Max (if it pops up anywhere).

The streaming game is getting complex. WB not going to do Netflix, that sucks.

Wow, hadn't heard about that, thanks for the info. And you're right, sounds like soon, there will be many streaming services out there. I would love to think that it'll start to cut into the prices of the cable/satellite services...but it probably won't.

I'm not a movie person but I wanted to see 1917. What a disappointment. I thought it was slow, dragged on, and while it took place on the battle field it lacked actual battle field action. Maybe I was expecting more of a Private Ryan type war movie. After asking around we did take our 13 year old as she is very interested in war history. She also thought the same as me. She did learn the "F" word though. LOL

I thought it was pretty good...the continuous shot was awesome. WWI has been under filmed...it was very interesting.

I thought most the Oscar movies were overrated this year, but Ford vs Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were the best. Joker, Irishman good, not great.

I recently saw Harriet and I thought that was really outstanding. Cynthia Erivo...first off, fine as f*ck....is probably my favorite actor as of recent. Harriet she was outstanding...She stole the movie Bad Times at the El Royale....And she is doing the same now in HBO The Outsider. The Outsider is a great series, folks need to tune into this one.
