The "I just saw" thread

[Akar]

Honestly, for me, this show has been like therapy.

Same, man. I was crying during basically every episode for the last two seasons.

[Kyriakos]

Watched Pacific Rim.
Damn it, this was just Voltron/Voltus5. And I am not saying that as a good thing.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)

It didn't create as much thrills and attachment to me as the previous ones.

Black mirror season6,

Out of the 5 episodes, only 2 belong to the franchise, 2 are more twilight zone and 1 belong to Hitchcock present. Not as good as what it used to be.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)

It didn't create as much thrills and attachment to me as the previous ones.

Possibly I am in a minority in the thread, but I haven't watched any of the transformer movies.
From youtube reviews, it appears that the previous one, with the medieval lore and Merlin (lol ) was supposed to be the end of this series.
Is Rise of the Beasts directed by Bay?

Is Rise of the Beasts directed by Bay?

No, it's directed by Steven Caple Jr.

[Kyriakos]

Only missed the hype by ten years
Doesn't look particularly better than the (absolute trash) Nick Cage bootleg.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

This is next level!

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Black Mirror Season 6

Black Mirror, you say?
You mean... American Horror Story.

Out with the Sci-Fi, in with the demons & werewolves.
Eh, whatever.




I liked the Aaron Paul episode.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

British traffic cop on a rampage.
Hilarious

Hostiles (2017)

On the one hand a good western movie, on the other hand I'm not sure if I find that change of mind of the two main actors towards native Americans so believable as the movie wants you to.

[Kyriakos]

^It's not. Imo movies should not lead with a political message, let alone when it is a historical movie and the message doesn't mix with what we know of the era.

The Flash (2023)

I liked the plot but at places the CGI was annoyingly bad.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Community Season 1



I freaking love Britta.
She pushes all my avoidant, self-sabotage buttons.
She'd probably not even like me.

Which makes Jeff Winger's choice in the finale even more puzzling to me.

[Araval]

No Hard Feelings (2023)

Pretty funny! Just maybe for me a bit not believable that a more intelligent guy would be interested in a relationship with this kind of woman. Still, I'd be up for rewatching this some time.

[Kyriakos]

Butterfly Kisses

This is a documentary of a documentary of a Found footage that has been done a la Blairwitch Project.
Not bad.

"Not bad?"
First of all, who is dumb enough to think that

Secondly,

it would have felt a lot less cheap if they went with the angle that the director filmed the first film and killed the nobody actors, in a desperate bid to make some money

instead they went with a ridiculous pastiche of stuff.

Sisu.

Old Finish dude slaughters Nazi's with a shovel. Tarantino-esc - Brutal and glorious carnage.

If you need more info than that, don't bother.

The point is... she was pretty far gone at that point.

Want to see a Steven Spielberg movie without Steven Spielberg?
Or a movie adaptation after a novel Stephen King wished he had written?
Or a movie version of Stanger Things?



Super 8

It's not a masterpiece but it has some good moments.
Alas,

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

the alien looked fake as hell.
Bad CGI, Bad JJ.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Meh.
This leans too much on nostalgia.
Keaton was good but ...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Nick Cage as Superman was the real show-stopper

Also Ezra Miller is annoying.

[Kyriakos]

Will he still have a career after this? ^^
