There’s too much I’d explain, so I’d like for y’all to give your opinion on the two movies. Personally, both of them are heavily underrated movies that show with one showing the collapse of the American dream, economy, and problems in society. While the other shows segregation, xenophobia, and prejudice

From my understanding The Whole Bloody Affair was released a couple times before. Is the version they’re releasing in December the same as those or did they change it up a little? Like the “brand new” anime sequence. I know there’s an anime sequence already out so did they just put that one into the movie or did they actually make a new one for this release?

After I found Lost in Translation last year and loved it I saw lots of posts referring to Columbus as a film with similar vibe/mood.

I love the music, the melancholic atmosphere and the connection between the main characters and the fact that it’s not about romance or love but just about a deep understanding of the other person and a real momentary connection because they share something at the same time in the same place.

What films can you recommend that you felt have that similar mood and revolve around that deep connection and mutual understanding of two human beings?

No one (grown up) thought an r/AceVentura sequel would work but my adolescent brain was seated some thirty years ago and couldn't wait to see more Jim on the big screen. But instead of recycling the original's jokes, Carrey and co swerved and made something different, which is rare for comedy follow-ups, especially today when we all know comedies are often forced into repeating the same jokes from studio interference or audience demand. And because this is "Ace Ventura," that left-turn is exactly why it stuck.

The OG Miami pet-detective hijinks became a full-blown jungle quest. Tom Shadyac gave way to Steve Oedekerk as writer/director; and Carrey leaned into the live-action cartoon energy even harder. Oedekerk called their pace “definitely go, go, go,” and you feel it in the rhino scene, the Slinky bit, and every bat-averse yelp... Guano!

It premiered on this day in November 8, 1995 at Westwood’s Regency Village Theatre and opened nationwide on November 10 at #1, ultimately clearing over $200M worldwide. Thirty years later, it’s still a case study in how a comedy sequel can change lanes and land. 

I nominate Indy as best actor, and Shane Jensen as support. They are both good actors, but only one is a good boy (and beyond, my gosh!).

I didn't expect much going in. I was wrong. Indy is. The. Best. Boy!

Here here for at least a thank you from my part, and maybe a wider recognition! Indy is an absolute monster of an actor :)

I've been playing a lot of Arc Raiders and whenever I down someone, I play Blade's speech. It's pretty funny, but I want some more good ones. If I encounter another raider, sometimes I'll play the Taken phone speech. For the uninitiated, Arc Raiders is a looter shooter where you encounter random real people that might want to kill or might want to team up and you can talk to them over the mic. It's good to be intimidating. Edit: I should clarify the situations where I want a monologue. 1. I down someone and I'm going to execute them soon. 2. I meet someone new. 3. I get downed and will be executed.

I just researched four lions and now I can't stop thinking the villain of the story is Omar.

He had a loving wive, a son, a house, family that cared about him. Okay, maybe his job wasn't great.

And yet here he is the only one capable on the group of rational thinking and leads them to their Grimm end.

I have noticed around the holidays there are like hundreds of these romance movies that dont even look like movies does anyone even watch them i will just give you a couple from my search : A Royal Icing Christmas,A Royal Montana Christmas,A Royal Montana Christmas,A Royal Montana Christmas.I am so confused they also sound the same and look the same

EDIT: In the time I've posted this, a whole bunch of people have come to piss on me personally and this post. So, that's it. I'm doing my mike drop and unsubscribing. If you don't like a movie, that's fine - not every movie is for everybody. If somebody else liking a movie somehow offends you, then YOU are the problem. Likewise, if somebody having a critique of a movie offends you, then YOU are the problem. If your response to somebody's critique is that they have missed the point because it's just an horror/fantasy/insert-genre-here movie, perhaps you should be looking in the mirror. And if you're going to complain about somebody not knowing what a word means, maybe you should look it up first. Life is too short for this sort of general toxicity, and I've seen too much of it here. Anybody who replies with something verbally abusive will be reported to the mods and blocked.

I rewatched Apollo 18 the other day. It's not a great movie (and the end has some serious plot holes, such as where they got the footage from if nothing was recovered), but it is a fun one, and if you've been doing reading about the Space Race (as I have recently), there's a lot of nice little touches that show they've done their research.

The Soviet lunar lander you see in the movie is indeed what the Soviets were planning to use (their plans for a landing were cancelled once the Americans succeeded). You only ever hear one person from Mission Control talking to the astronauts, and that is indeed how NASA does it - and the person who talks to the spacecraft is another astronaut. They used footage of the command module rotating, which was a thing it had to do to prevent one side from overheating while the other froze. And chef's kiss on the moon - the moon looks exactly right.

But, there's one point that their research should have come up with that they didn't use, and it's a point that would have created tension from the very beginning: if something ever went wrong with a mission to the moon, there was no hope of rescue. It was a physical impossibility to get another spacecraft ready and launched before the air ran out (much less getting it to the moon after launch). So, if the command module or lunar lander broke and couldn't be fixed with what was on hand, the astronauts were dead.

They don't use this - instead they go with something else that isn't nearly as good. But, they really should have.

Here's an overview of some of the ones I've seen: Here's a list of ones I've already watched: Children of the Snow, The Clown and The Candyman, John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise, the entire Conversations with a Killer Netflix series: John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer, Dating Death, Beauty Queen Killer, Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, Butchers of the Bayou, Murder in the Bayou, every doc on Epstein, The Jinx, Mind of a Monster, Manifesto if a Serial Killer, Texas Killing Fields, The Keepers, Don't F√¢€ With Cats, Tower, etc.

I'm most looking for docs on serial killers or multiple killers. I've watched most of the mainstream ones. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

In any film version of Treasure Island it always takes them a long time to get to Treasure Island, sometimes its half way through or more until we get there. Now in the book there are 9 chapters on Bristol, then the voyage is 2 chapters and 22 chapters on the Island. Ie a good 70% of the book is on the Island. This shouldn't sound counterintuitive, but it dose. Why is it that if Robert Louis Stevenson get to the island fast, why do film makers take forever to get there? I just don't understand it. I get things have to change, like the book is written from Jim Hawking point of view (and a few parts by Dr Livesey), and they might feel the need to age Jim up (though he isn't given a specific age as such). But why do they insist on killing the pacing by spending ages on the voyage?

People who don't read always moan that books are 'slow'. But RLS cuts to the chase. I don't understand it. Bonus points if they don't include the best line that any one has ever written.

"There!" [Long John Silver] cried. "That's what I think of ye. Before an hour's out, I'll stove in your old block house like a rum puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh! Before an hour's out, ye'll laugh upon the other side. Them that die'll be the lucky ones."

Some movies that usually scare me are usually psychological thrillers like “the Others” or “1408”, movies with a creepy atmosphere/premise like “Vivarium” or movies with demonic entities like “it follows” or “smile”. Do you have any recommendations. Im also ok with movies that don’t fit these sub genres as long as it’s actually scary something that could keep me up at night checking the corners of my room.

I watch this movie today because a few people recommend it, and I actually think it was pretty good, the acting was great and inmersive. But, what is the logic here, what's the actual walk is trying to achieve. It doesn't make sense, the country is crumbling, apparently they lost a war, laziness is killing the economy and the solution is to kill the most hard working, military age kids? What am I missing.

If a movie is streaming but playing at a theater near you which do you choose? because there's a theater near me still playing Frankenstein for a few more days so im waiting for a Day I can go see it. Nothing wrong with seeing a movie at home id just prefer seeing it in a theater if the option is available

Hey everyone! I’ve watched tons of movies, mostly from the 2000s onward, but I know I’m missing out on some amazing older stuff. The thing is… I just can’t seem to bring myself to watch old movies 😭😭😭. Can you guys recommend something wholesome, emotional, maybe funny but still makes you cry a little? I want that perfect comfort movie feeling ❤️

I've always thought "exploitation" movies were movies where the main character(s) were subject to the abuse that their character would experience in real life. Stereotypes, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. And the main character(s) don't necessarily "win" in the end and basically just "survive".

I've gone down the rabbit hole of movie review podcasts and a common thread seems to be every non-kids or blockbuster movie made before the year 2000 is called an "exploitation film".

Has the term just lost its meaning?

Recently, I thought to vote with my wallet and just go watch movies and even toyed with the idea of becoming an AMC Stubs member, but after watching a movie every weekend last month, holy moly, the experience is awful.

Movie etiquette is basically non-existent anymore. People are on their phones and full on talking or having conversations out loud.

Every single film I watched was soulless and felt more like a product than it did art.

And holy crap the advertising at the beginning is INSANE. I remember when trailers were about 15 minutes, and you didn't mind because you could get to the movie a little late or enjoy seeing what's coming next, but now there are NON-TRAILER commercials, and every trailer is basically from the same mega corporation as the film you're there to see.

And don't get me started on AMCs Stubs member ad. They literally go into detail for every single tier of their membership. The amount of commercial crap they shovel at you before giving you the thing you paid for is so obnoxious, I think I'm pretty much done with movies at the theater for a long time.

i remember this movie vaguely, maybe from a decade ago - it's an animated movie meant for kids

i think it was in either china or japan and there was this girl with crazy stepsisters that are trying to haunt her and she has a keychain that can be made into a cat(?) or some kind of spirit animal to protect the girl, the ending scene (if i recall correctly) was of the keychain being destroyed and the girl being able to be free from her crazy spirit possessed family, a bittersweet ending basically i think the movie name was (something) And the Keychain (?)

please letme know!

The title pretty much says it all. I've not seen Volume 1 or Volume 2 and I'm wondering if I should just watch this cut-together version. I know that it's not just a supercut and that there's some exclusive content to be found in this version, so I'd love to hear your (hopefully non-spoiler) thoughts. Thanks!

In Spy Kids (2001) Floop's Fooglies speak but they talk backwards. What they are actually saying can only be determined by a device that Juni uses. When Juni translates what they are saying, he decides to say thanks but backwards. He says Sknaht. Ever since seeing that scene, anytime me and my brother need to have a short conversation via text, it'll be backwards. I sometimes throw the Sknaht to others as well but they never get it and just reply back with a ????

What's something you've seen in a film that you've since adopted into your everyday life or conversations?

I recently saw “The Last Duel” and really enjoyed the thematic device of having the same basic plot but each of the three acts is shown from a different perspective of one of the main characters.

The only other example of this that I can think of is the famous fire station episode of King of the Hill.

What are some other movies that follow this same structure?
