[Movie] Movies/Shows you have seen recently?

I finally saw Dark Knight Rises, and I enjoyed it a lot. There were some hints at the start of the movie regarding the reveal of the main villain at the end, but I missed them. I liked that it still surprised me with the reveal, even though any person who's familiar of the Batman mythos will get it early on.

I also saw Brave. Although it was visually beautiful, I think the story was a bit everywhere and could have fixed it by focusing on the plight of the main character a bit more.

None of this can be written by a sane person. OHMSS is probably the worst edited in the series and the middle is as limp as a microwaved calzone but it culminates perfectly.

As to Skyfall, it is probably the worst of the Bond movies. Yeah, you could make an argument that Die Another Day is the worst because it is the most stupid of all the Bond movies - but personally, Skyfall makes the worst mistake possible: its boring. Theres only two other Bond movies I'd call boring (Live And Let Die and Diamonds Are Forever) and this is definitely in that field. At the very least, Die Another Day for all its many, many... many faults cannibalized its own universe to make its story while Skyfall is a cheap rewrite of another popular movie series.

And Skyfall makes so many goddamned sins. Heres a list.

1.) Bond is passive

The movie starts with Bond not rescuing an injured agent (Passive: Pretty much because its "unheroic")

Bond fighting a bad guy ontop of a train... but the climax of the fight is dependent on someone else laying out the killing shot. (Passive: Main character doesn't resolve the conflict)

Bond abandons MI6 knowing that a list of all his fellow agents has fallen into enemy hands and gets drunk / laid for an undetermined period of time. (Passive: Not only is Bond falling off a moving train from a bullet and surviving somehow unexplained, but the fact he avoids going back to service makes him unmotivated in the story, thus passive)

Bond follows the guy who he was fighting on the train and then waits until the assassin kills his target, and only then does Bond fight him (Passive: Bond waits for someone else to take action)

Bond then uses a girl to find the villain (Passive: Bond doesn't act himself, instead he's taken somewhere else by someone else)

Bond is interrogated by the villain who uses some pseudo-homosexual advances (Passive: Bond doesn't do anything in the scene; he just listens)

Bond then watches a girl die before turning tables, shooting everyone except the villain and calls in helicopter support all within five seconds (Incredible passive: why would Bond wait until the girl is dead to kill everyone else?)

The villain's entire escape from jail plan is dependent on Q, a techno-wiz, being stupid enough to plug in the villain's laptop to MI6 computers. (Passive but story-based: how can a guy from Geek Squad, let alone MI6's Quartermaster, be dumb enough to plug in the computer after the opening bombing of MI6 headquarters proved the villain already had the ability to hack MI6 computers?)

Bond then chases the villain in a protracted bait-and-switch subway chase before having a train dropped on him (Passive: Bond reacts to everything the villain does instead of doing anything himself. He's REACTING instead of ACTING.)

M is shot at in the meeting hall, other characters including Ralph Fines and Eve fire back... while Bond takes M elsewhere (Passive: Everyone else is acting: shooting, etc. Bond takes M and leaves, which is passive)

Bond takes M to Skyfall (The most passive part of the movie: Instead of Bond attacking the villain or otherwise going after him in some way - Bond retreats and fortifies a position to WAIT FOR THE BAD GUYS.)

Many bad guys attack on foot, culminating in a Home Alone moment of stupid gadget trickery (Passive: entire scene is basically send in guys so they can die, serves no purpose especially when...)

Villain shows up in an attack helicopter with a minigun and lays waste to Skyfall mansion (Passive: Why would you send in 15 armed goons when you have a helicopter? More importantly, if the villain wants M alive for himself, why send goons and risk her dying? Or why risk killing her with the minigun? Bond again reacts but doesn't act: he waits for something to escalate before he does the same.)

Villain chases M and the butler and suddenly decides to off himself and her at the same time for reasons unknown. Bond kills him with a knife to the back (Passive: anti-climactic. Scene escalates in drama and is then defused - the hero appears at the end of the scene and interrupts instead of adding to it.)

2.) The story happens, the character revolves

Screenwriter John Logan does this a lot in his screenplays: his main character simply revolves around the story and narrates it instead of actually taking part.

If you need to understand the difference, a good example is Raiders Of The Lost Ark versus Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. The first involves Indy trying to take back the ark or, at the very least, stopping the villains from opening the Ark. He gets involved by constantly taking action against them. In Crystal Skull, Indy shows up - but scenes either happen without him (the jungle chase is often centered on other characters actions) or are simply his reacting to things (ants, waterfalls, stones moving, etc). If your character is REACTING, hes not actually doing anything - the thing he's reacting to IS.

Another great example is Quantum Of Solace versus Skyfall. QoS is about Bond seeking revenge against the people that her behind Vesper's betrayal and sort-of-suicide. This is motivation toward him meeting Dominic Greene and the movie continues as he purposely attempts to straddle both his job and his revenge for his lost girlfriend. Skyfall is Bond showing up and watching things happen; he chases people but only acts after the person he's chasing has already done something: the MI6 harddrive is stolen, the guy assassinates someone, the villain shoots a woman, etc.

In other words, everything that happens in the film Skyfall would've happened anyway without the main character.

Lame.

3.) The story is incredibly misogynistic

Eve can't shoot and obviously shouldn't be in the field. Judi Dench's M is an incompetent administrator who somehow managed to remain oblivious to the concept of cyber-terrorism for years - AND she can't shoot. Severine isn't worth saving or mourning because she's damaged goods; Bond even SAYS SO.

4.) Bond fails at every plot point in the film, making him unheroic *and* inept

*Bond fails to retrieve the MI6 agent list
*Bond fails to save Severine's husband from the assassin that nearly killed Bond
*Bond fails to save the assassin
*Bond fails to save Severine
*Bond fails to stop the villain from escaping through the subway
*Bond fails to save M from the villain

5.) Everything In The Plot Is From Nolan's Batman Movies

Skyfall = Wayne Manor. Albert Finney = Alfred. Bond = Bruce Wayne.

===

Skyfall: MI6 explodes and is then moved to a lower basement tunnel

The Dark Knight: Wayne Manor burned down in the previous movie so now Batman works out of a subterranean computer basement place.

===

Skyfall: Bond tracks down the villain using bullet fragments he dug out of his chest

The Dark Knight: Batman tracks down the Joker using bullet fragments dug out of a wall

===

Skyfall: Bond loses his family home when its burned to the ground while under attack by the villain

Batman Begins: Batman loses his family home when its burned to the ground by the villain

===

Skyfall: Villain has a horrible mouth problem

The Dark Knight: Villain has a horrible mouth problem

===


Skyfall: Bond chases the villain after the villain has changed into a police officer's uniform and disrupts an official ceremony.

The Dark Knight: Batman tracksthe villain after the villain has changed into a police officer's uniform and disrupts an official ceremony.

===

Skyfall: Villain has an elaborate scheme of being captured, brought back for imprisonment, only to break out and cause havoc.

The Dark Knight: Villain has an elaborate scheme of being captured, brought back for imprisonment, only to break out and cause havoc.

===

(A little bit looser but the villain going to the chapel at Skyfall and laughing at Bond's parents graves is literally the Joker laughing at Bruce's parent's graves.)

(The villain is a mix of The Joker (a horrible injury centered around his mouth. He disguises himself as a police officer to disrupt an official ceremony) and Julian Assange (the comb-forward haircut, the computer stuff - maaaaybe the sexual androgyny stuff). And pretty much both let themselves get captured in order to wreak even more havoc. (Joker's breakout, Assange's embassy drama).)

Literally everything in this movie is an inept swipe by the second worst screenwriter in Hollywood who also wrote Star Trek Nemesis (don't even go there) and The Last Samurai (another passive movie, and "Glory" for the Japanese world). I wouldn't be surprised if someone sues over this.

So, yes, there you go. The movie is awful and there are probably more reasons than the ones I listed here. It breaks a ton of Bob McKee's rules on storytelling and manages to make Bond into a passive, limp character who can't do anything right. Look no further than Bond needing to bed a woman who's been in sexual slavery.

It is a dumb, stupid movie for jerks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I read that even if I haven't seen Skyfall yet. Now I want to see it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hahaha, I think you're clutching at straws a little bit there mate, you seem pretty determined to hate the movie. I also think you're missing the point of every Bond movie ever to some extent in your analysis.

The whole point of this film as I see it is a reset of the series. They tried making Bond all moody and modern with the first two Craig films and they were both weak. They looked like they were copying films that had originally copied Bond to start with, Bourne specifically, and that led to a real weakening of the brand. They were ok films but they weren't Bond films. So now they've made a conscious decision to go back to making Bond films again and this is the bridging movie.

Bond has always been a wanker. Read the books, he's a proper wanker in those. He's a heavy drinker, can't obey orders, a serial womaniser and has incredibly weak morals. His one redeeming feature is his sense of duty and responsibility, all of which is why he's such a popular character in the UK, it's what we all aspire to be. How you can possibly say that a Bond film being mysoginistic is a bad thing is laughable, strong female characters are a recent addition to the series, only since Brosnan and marked the start of the decline of the franchise. Even the "strong" female characters in earlier ones like Grace Jones eventually end up being extremely weak and either falling for Bond or needing him to rescue them. The silly women is just going back to Bond's roots.

Again, I think your comparisson with QofS is arse about tit too. In QofS, Bond is off around the world for purely selfish reasons, it's a lucky conincidence that he ends up further the needs of the UK in the process. That's not what Bond does. Bond does whatever it takes to complete a mission given to him by the British Government, his overriding sense of duty is what seperates him from thousands of other action heros.

For better or worse, the theme of this film was doing what was needed versus doing what was right. It's Bond's humanity set against M's cold duty. Bond wants to save the dude at the beginning but isn't allowed to. He wants to beat the guy on the train but doesn't get the chance and in the process, feels betrayed by M and takes the chance to retire, until his sense of duty brings him back. By allowing the asassination in Shanghai, he learns more about the plot, he's not there to stop the shooting, he's there to get the gunman. Getting info from a random bird he bumps into in a casino is classic Bond fare, he does it in more films than he doesn't. He takes up the shooting a glass challenge thinking the other guy will play fair, he doesn't know he won't and he doesn't do anything while he's getting groped because he already hit the transmitter, all he's doing is stalling to let the choppers get there. Chasing bad guys is another Bond staple, there aren't many Bond films without a chase like that. Bond rescuing M is because he personally cares about her, he takes her to Scotland because he knows he can win on his own terms. The rest is just Hollywood silliness and plot holes.

I do get where you're coming from with your comments but it does read a bit like you've never seen a Bond film before. The whole film ends as a big set up for the next Bond film to be a proper, traditional, Connery/Moore Bond film and that can only be a good thing.

As an action film, Skyfall is worth a look. It's a bit too 24 perhaps but then nobody watches Bond films for the plot, unless they're an idiot. The main criticism I would level is that Daniel Craig is no good at delivering Bond one-liners. Plus al the continuity errors are distracting. To call it the worst Bond film ever though is being angry on the internet for the sake of it and is also ignoring the existance of the previous two Daniel Craig Bond films, most of the Brosnan ones and whichever Roger Moore one it is with the figure skater in the ski resort which is truly, truly terrible.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Missed that people responded until Sprout pointed me over here... And I almost responded to your post in full until I re-read this. So I know you can't be serious. It's cool, but if you want a job in comedy, be more direct.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

i liked the new james bond movie. it was good.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm so glad to see my thread is still alive lmao. Meanwhile I got a lot of movies catching up to do.

I finally fucking saw Apocalypse Now. I've not seen a lot of Martin Sheen in his prime, but if this movie was it for him, he's great. Definitely not like I've seen him before.

Now I have a question for some of you, Netflix Instant is ALSO showing Apocalypse Now Redux and I noticed there's like an extra hour or so on there so I'm asking if I should watch this too for the extra content. I'm generally not a fan of war movies, but the acting from Sheen and Brando were great.

I also finished American Horror Story... its... like an episode of LawNOrder's Special Victims Unit rape baby stretched into a season but in a ghost edition. Its hilarious and Jerry Springer cringeworthy plot. I do like the cast though, they were all great, especially Jessica Lange and the guy who played Tate.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've been meaning to watch the Redux version for a long while, but never got round to it so I'm afraid I couldn't help you there. Can't see the harm in it though if you enjoyed the original - if you do let us know how it was!

Okay, so I've seen The Hobbit twice now - both in the HFR 3D since both groups of people I went with had already seen it in 2D and wanted to compare. As for the HFR, it was weird at first, I wasn't sure at all I liked it at all. But about halfway through it really came together and it was especially good during parts with CGI. I wouldn't have chosen to see it in that format twice if it was up to me though. As for the content:

Spoiler:

I liked how they started with the back story to Erebor and the loss of the dwarven kingdom. Interested to see how the Arkenstone was given a lot more significance straight off the bat. The scenes with Bilbo and Frodo felt forced, wasn't keen. Also giving The Necromancer a lot more limelight than he was party to in the book - if I remember correctly he was just described as a dark force in Mirkwood in The Hobbit? I know he's a foreshadow of Sauron, but... I thought Radagast was a bit over the top (and again, a plug for time?). Thorin was much more bitter in this too but I think that came off well. I wouldn't have minded Galadriel's inclusion so much if I didn't know it was supposed to be throwing the female audience a bone or some shit like that. I wasn't paying attention to the gender of the characters involved at all until she showed up. The scene with Gollum was very good. Martin Freeman did himself well as Bilbo.

Overall, I thought it was pretty decent.

I finally got round to seeing Moonrise Kingdom since my boyfriend bought it for me for Christmas. It was lovely. I thought it suffered a little from being so short, it was too concise for the background characters to really get a proper footing. But the kids playing the lead roles were fantastic and I was quite chuffed with Edward Norton and Bruce Willis in it. The soundtrack was pretty good but not the best of all his works. It was quite funny too.

A friend of mine showed me The Raid. We watched the dubbed version and it just made everything hilarious. I'd like to see the subbed version just to see how it changes the mood of the whole thing. Great, brutal action flick. That's all it needs to be.

A brief review of maybe the past year's uni TV obsession: Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.

SG1's first 7 or 8 seasons were absolutely class. I wish I'd got into this earlier, it's been so long since I've loved a show like this. The last few seasons got a bit ridiculous, mainly Michael Shanks kicking up a fuss and becoming a bit of a Mary Sue, also the loss of a few key and beloved characters. But it's self-aware and playful with a host of lovable (and love-to-hate) people.

I thought it would take me a while to get into Atlantis because I'd become so attached to SG1 but really, it's a great show. We've not finished this yet, up to season 3 so far. Much love for McKay.

FELIPE NO

I have a lot of catching up to do. I really enjoy Boss and am now moving on to Shameless and at some point American Horror Story.

Most days I'm so burned out on work that I just end up watching Trek.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Is that the American version of Shameless? I saw Ence talking about it the other day. I've only seen the British one and thought that was really good, US version sounds interesting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The US version of Shameless is fucking terrible. They showed it on E4 last year and it just completely misses the point of the series. I mean, worse than the American Office missed the point of The Office by having jokes in it, US Shameless is just far too nicey nicey and, well, American. Steer well clear...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Apocalypse Now Redux is shit. The extra scenes break the rhythm of the movie, and this movie is all about rhythm. Plus they don't add anything to the story. They are at best kinda interesting historically (scene at the French mansion) and at worse just downright ridiculous (crashed playmates copter).

You do get extra boobies though.

Watched Kick-Ass last night. Was expecting to hate it and ended up freaking loving it. Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means, but damn was it FUN. <3

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Watched Mother's Day last night. Silly horror film that was mildly gory and kinda interesting story-wise if a little predictable.

Watched Brotherhood of the Wolf the other day, French martial arts come horror film. Horror wasn't scary, martial arts were too thin on the ground till the end, the plot is silly and it's 45 minutes longer than it needed to be. Not many tits in it for a French film either.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Saw Les Misérables on Christmas Day.

CANNOT DESCRIBE THE LEVELS OF AWESOME THAT THIS FILM IS.

Once you ignore Russell Crowe's tonedeaf singing it's incredible. I still hear the people sing, singing a song of angry men...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ahahaha, what do you even know? Emmy Rossum gets naked in the US version.

Thus ours is assuredly the superior choice.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just watched Battleship and fuck me if it isn't one of the worst films ever made. Ridiculous idea, rammed with plot holes and delivers cliche after cliche, overlaid with the graphics left over from the Transformers movies and more stock sound effects than a bedroom produced mixtape. Absolutely shockingly bad.

Previously I watched The Courier which is a crappy thriller with a plot that makes no sense and is stupid.

Also watched the latest Underworld film, called Awakening or something. Much the same as the others to be honest, not awful but not really worth going out of your way for.

FELIPE NO

This evening we watched Dredd which was actually pretty good and in a whole different league to Stallone's car crash. Decent action, no silly plot getting in the way of the perp-killing and Urban was suitably gruff as Dredd. Good one if you're in the mood for watching people get shot especially in slow motion.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

My review of Dredd.

Spoiler:

Also I said about The Raid earlier on - came out in 2011 and it's almost exactly the same plot as Dredd but with martial arts.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Watched Sherlock Holmes and the Game of Shadows last night. Glaring anachronisms and a couple of monster plot holes aside (Seriously, reverse pickpocketing a note into someone's pocket referencing a line they say before they ever say that line?), it's an enjoyable action film. Jude Law still can't act but his part in this is pretty minimal. Worth a look but not as good as the BBC series, Sherlock.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol: much better than the previous installment but still not great. I'm amused and frustrated that all the drama in the series is basically WILL THIS EQUIPMENT FAIL and the answer is always ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO CREATE TENSION. Cruise looks strangely old in the film; like he's aged two decades between this and the last one. The supporting characters are fine but I'm starting to get tired of seeing Simon Pegg in everything. Jeremy Renner continues to look like a fat-faced Chris Walken. Giacchino's music is an ethnic variation on his last M:I score and serves dutifully without impressing anyone.

Frankenweenie: Much better than I expected. Tim Burton has made nothing but crap since Ed Wood (his best picture still) and while this was by no means an Edward Scissorhands, it is a great bit of work on his part. Surprisingly small in cast, it gets all the right notes of "boy and his dog" while still being quirky. Nice if generic design work. More of a return to form than anything new but still excellent.

The Andromeda Strain: Cold, unusual picture. I'm not always hot for Robert Wise but this is something different. I'm still not sure I liked it but the DePalma framing, the scientists locked in a clean room, the electronic music... it's certainly not for everyone and something you'd have to be in the mood for. It's very chilling, both because of the subject matter and the eerie opening sequence.

633 Squadron: WWII fighter pilots flying down canyons and blowing away Nazis. I loved every damn minute of it, in all its kind of cheeseball glory. Cliff Robertson had more charisma than he knew what to do with.

King Kong (1976) - I hate to say this one just didn't grab me at all. Despite a rather good cast, some of the shots just don't work. It's a very flat feeling picture, as if the effects were suppose to carry the emotion. Unfortunately, the effects are nothing to write home about, especially when it's Rick Baker in an ape suit and not the close-up shots. The most impressive SFX is that René Auberjonois still has color in his hair. At least Jessica Lang looks good in a pair of daisy dukes.

Night Of The Comet - this is one of the strangest movies I've seen in ages. Zombies are created after a comet passes over earth and some people are turned into dust? Love the bad 80s feel, love the music drops and the overall shtick and for some reason Robert Beltran from Eating Raul is in this? Catherine Mary Stewart is still one of the best looking women from the 80s and she does well in a story that makes very little sense. I get the feeling Joss Whedon watched this while writing Cabin In The Woods.

Leviathan (1989) - Everyone told me Leviathan was a terrible movie and I'm disappointed its actually a mildly entertaining Alien rip-off. It's got a strong cast lead by Peter Weller, who attempts to give a heroic performance while also being saddled with the worst one-liner to ever close a movie ("Say hi, MUTHERFUCKER!"). Richard Crenna plays his role the same way he played Trautman in the Rambo movies, down to his vocal inflection when listing off things. The women are really attractive and only one of them meets a bad end. Fun Goldsmith score, the end cue is very much like the one he wrote for The Swarm. All in all, exactly what you'd expect if someone said a b-movie remake of Alien.

Rob Roy - I'd forgotten how DRY this film actually was. However, I will never complain about a movie where Liam Neeson is beating the living crap out of people. Lovely score by Carter Burwell (whom I normally don't care for) and its only outshined by Tim Roth as a foppish asshole with a grudge against the title character. Beautiful scenic photography and nice pacing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I take it that was the 1971 Andromeda Strain, not the terrible remake? I love that film, one of my all time favourite sci-fi films. The setting in the different colours in the base really adds to the tension and I'd love to think someone would be mental enough to paint an entire level of an underground base bright red.

You might be able to help me with this. I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I watched a few times when I was younger that I'd love to see again. It's about an engineered contagious disease I think that someone steals and threatens to release. I remember little of the details except that it ends with the hero in a helicopter above a sports stadium of some description. It ,ust have been from the 70's I'd guess. Not much to go on I admit...

Most amazing jew boots

Just finished watching The Raid, it was pretty good although I lost interest towards the end. Kick Boxing is far better suited to one guy kicking the fuck out of a bunch of scrubs than protracted one on ones and that's really clear towards the end of this. The best scene is where the dude is stabbing the shit out of a bunch of people in the hallway, each fight after that is progressively less interesting culminating with an overly long brawl at the end. I know it's a film and suspension of disbelief and all that but it doesn't matter how nails someone is, you smash their head into a wall more than three times in a couple of hour period they get knocked out.

The plot is predictable as fuck but then you don't watch a film like this for the story. It's definitely worth a look if you like kick boxing films but only if you've previously watched Ong Bak, Warrior King and Blood and Bone as they're all much better.

How ya doing, buddy?

So much anime. So much anime. But that's not what this thread is for, oh, but sorta.

Just re-watched Perfect Blue. Still a glorious mindfuck, and just realized something in this viewing that I hadn't before:

Spoiler:

mainly that Mima is totally hallucinating at the end, just like Rumi.

Also, totally saw the "Black Swan is a remake" stuff, too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

LOL wvlf, I've included anime in here before. No worries!

I got a backlog I should put in here but I'll just put in a notable one we watched last night.

Black Dynamite is hilarious for the first 45 mins or so but the plot just kinda... faltered and ran on fumes when it started to go a little nutty with unnecessary deviations. Regardless, we laughed for a bit. Stupid fun mostly, great 70s throwback sets and costumes. Even got Arsenio Hall whom I've NOT seen in years.

FELIPE NO

Well then: as far as series go, we've watched:

B Gata H Kei or Yamada's First Time (because Funimation realized to some extent that a direct translation of the title would mean NOTHING to the vast majority of Americans, but then doesn't even mention ANYWHERE during the show the significance of "H"): Yay ecchi.

Nichijou: re-watch, actually, but Yay insanity!

Lucky Star: I don't need to say anything about this but wow japan

Currently re-watching Midori no hibi because cute anime about guy with girl-hand is cute. Also Kaleido Star to lead up to "wvlf is finally downloading the OAVs that weren't released in America but aren't on bakabt because I guess they were licensed even though there are no plans to release them so wtf." Just like the second half of Kodocha come on let's have a sub-only release since SOMEONE has to have the rights to it now. I'm complaining.

Jem is on Netflix. The second season is INSANE. The Misfits rock out Congress. Fuck yes. Third season, not so much.

Also watching The IT Crowd and for some reason tvtropes doesn't think that Chris O'Dowd fits the "Adorkable" trope. Even though he's an even bigger dork than he was in Bridesmaids. Still, funny show, and Matt Berry makes me happy, as always.

Also, LOL at LeHah's issue with the Bond movie being misogynistic, considering how that'd be something from the novels that the movie actually got RIGHT.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
