illia Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Watched all Hunger Games movies and idk... it's not really the gag I expected it to be. The only movies I found excellent were the first one and Mockingjay Part 2. The rest were ranging from alright (Catching Fire, TBOSAS) to straight up mid (Mockingjay Part 1) Maze Runner is lowkey better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very high when I watched this and couldn’t stop laughing throughout was glad to read after that the ironic humor was intended lmfao Showing Up – 5.5/10 (I usually like “nothing happens” movies but wow, a little too much nothing happens here) Jackie Brown – 9/10 Maestro – 7.5/10 (has some glaring flaws but I loved it anyway) The Iron Claw – 8.5/10 Quiz Show – 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TryMe Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I just watched Pretty Woman. I'm someone that never understands the charm of old movies, but OMG I was hooked from the first scene. It's such an adult fairytale. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superben Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I just watched The Prestige after putting it off for years as I was spoiled, but the ending still blew me. Such an amazing movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickarp Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Finally decided to put my TV to use, other than games. I've watched maybe 3 movies in the last decade so i decided to binge a few the last 2 days. Oppenheimer >>> No Hard Feelings > Hunger Games: Prequel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that Hallmark gay movie Red White & Royal Bleu There must be a gulf for Oppen, but NHF & Hunger were amazing too. Snow is so hot & charming. If he told me he wanted to commit genocide, i'd be all guns blazing for him Andrew is so cute. Him in his yellow shorts holding the dog and when he sung i LOST it. RWRB was bullshit what kinda of "tumblr fanfiction trying to be deep" is this AND I stan Heartstopper S1. I guess if u like S2, u might like RWRB I had to stop an hour in. Also, the lead's acting is Disney Channel teen sitcom standard Barbie, & Call Me By Your Name are next Have high hopes for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magickarp Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 CMBYN was good, but it left me initially thinking No Hard Feelings & Hunger Games: Prequel were better. Mainly cuz it had more of a plot, whereas CMBYN was kinda like a short story. I heard that lack of a "plot/villain" was why this movie took 10 years to fund. But on rewatch, I kinda like it as much as NHF & HG:P, or even more. I think it's the Chalamet appeal I really did not care for this twink until i watched this, & now i wanna do bad things. Also knowing that it's more of a chill film before hand, changed my expectations for the better, & made me appreciate the film for what it is. Sad to see him with Kylie tho ruins the artsy deep actor i thought he was. Also what a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower moon Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 been trying to watch this for the past 3 days lol but its just not good.. no idea what kind of movie its trying to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickarp Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Watched Everything Everywhere All At Once I can't believe this won 7 Oscars. Michelle Yeoh 100% deserved her Oscar tho. She SERVED for the crumbs she was given. Like JLaw delivering the X-Women line. But Best Picture? Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis? What?! To me, EEAOO gives a stretched Rick & Morty EP post S3, & thinks it's deeper than it actually is. The script serves Xenoblade 3, a lot of deep words that amount to nothing beyond a basic plot. The constant barrage of scenes (that i did not personally find funny) to pad out the lack of depth. It's serving Reddit content, with TikTok presentation. It's what i imagine that Community EP where Abed made a film about Jesus would be like. Comedies & Sci-Fi are my fave genres, but i don't think this landed on any of that for me. As an asian, the first 15 mins had me interested, but once the kung fu scene happened i wanted to turn it off so bad. At least I finished it, unlike Red, White, & Royal Blue. Oppenheimer > Call Me By Your Name >> No Hard Feelings > Hunger Games: Prequel >>>>>>>>>>>> Everything Everywhere All At Once > Red White & Royal Blue I went from not feeling CMBYN, to wanting to rewatch it Just needed a different mindset going in. Especially after watching so many intense plots before it. Barbie is next on my movie binge then idk what comes next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeofTeeth Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Mad Max: Fury Road (9/10): Can't believe I never got around to seeing this before now, this technical masterpiece blew me away Anatomy of a Fall (8.5/10): Sandra Hüller gives the most natural and lived-in performance she possibly could. She deserves the Oscar for this. Society of the Snow (9/10): This actually left me speechless and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. One of the most harrowing and visceral films I've ever seen, and the fact that it isn't getting more awards buzz is criminal.

ChapelHooker Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 watched Anatomy of a Fall today. brilliant, complex, layered, thought provoking. a Sandra Hüller Oscar nom snub would be a disgrace, she is magnetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickarp Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Barbie was great! I hate woke stuff, but the conservatives really consider this movie misandrist? I wouldn't even call Barbie that woke. They had the wokest character be an edgelord 13 year old bully that NOBODY in school likes It's one of the best advocates for equality They made is VERY clear that Kens were oppressed. Matriarchy, patriarchy, they all leave one side unhappy. And that ending with the President giving the Kens a low level role, & telling them to work up to it, is a perfect reflection of the real world history. The only fair misandrist thing was majority of the real world men being exaggeratedly incompetent & stupid, but i'd argue it was more for ✨aesthetic✨. And they made up for all that by having the men fight each other, but cuz they're simple men they hugged it out and didn't hold a grudge When Barbie ended at the gynecologist, to me, it meant Barbie wanted to be a mother. Especially with all the flashes of motherhood before her humanization. It was a vágina gag for sure, but i think a 2nd meaning was intended. Conservatives should've lauded this, but they were too obsessed with hurdur woke culture. 10 Oppenheimer 10 Call Me By Your Name 8.5 No Hard Feelings 8 Barbie 7.5 Hunger Games: Prequel 2 Everything Everywhere All At Once 1 Red White & Royal Blue No idea what i'll watch next. Probs CMBYN again Oppenheimer is a better film, but CMBYN is SO much more rewatchable, precisely cuz the plot is relaxed. It's like Heartstopper S1. Chill, & Sweet.

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted January 13 ATRL Moderator Share Posted January 13 Been watching quite a bit this week! Poor Things, LA Confidential, Scream VI (again hehe), Mean Girls (24). Got a lot to get through this month (Anatomy of a Fall, All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, Iron Claw, Ferrari, Priscilla, and Color Purple just to name a few) 2023 had some really wonderful films. Hopefully 2024 keeps that momentum going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
