The General Movie Thread

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Ray Liotta (may his soul rest in peace) had several works still in production at the time of his death including this one:

Not gonna lie, I think I'm gonna watch this one.

Definitely a must see. The true story is so bizarre, I can’t wait for this movie

No, it’s got a different clown.

I forget the name of the movie and the actor, but he was the clown in it

The goofy part is that its backstory was actually based on a true story. Of course it didn’t go on an insane killing spree in real life.

There’s a few of these kinda recent internet true stories getting adapted into over the top movies and shows lately, like the Emu War and the Watcher. It’s like the movie makers ran out of ideas and started watching YouTube for inspiration or something

That does appear to be the trend.

COCAINE BEAR is one of those meme movies that get super popular for no reason than being ridiculous and makes it go viral. I think it has to do with the limited amount of movies released since COVID. Interesting that Elizabeth Banks directed it tho.

It looks like something similar to the hokum of Sharknado.

This actually looks far better than Sharnado. But it’s still a silly idea to make this movie based on the bear from the story. Sharknado was more like a bunch of drunks got together with no cash and started making a movie as they went. This movie seems more like one guy was watching YouTube and saw the story and told a friend and that person told a friend and then the whole story changed and eventually someone with slightly more cash than the sharknado movie decided to make their movie.

I do like Eddie Murphy, so hopefully this will be good

Ever since Pluto Nash Eddie seems to be a lot more selective with his roles, fingers crossed this one is funny.

Looks interesting

Does indeed; initially, I thought it was going to be a new endeavor into the Sherlock Holmes literature, but this is more interesting for not being so. The inclusion, then, of Poe in concert with the title had me thinking it was going to be something akin to The Tell-Tale Heart. Again, a wrong assumption on my part. On the whole, it looks more a late 18th, early 19th century serial-murder tale motivated by all appearances of satanic ritual. Lovely; I'm down for a watch.

I do have to say, however, given hindsight through the lens of our modern understanding of mental illness, sociopathy, and psychopathy, tales of this nature, which Poe also wrote (I'm reading one now, as it happens: The Mystery of Marie Roget, a sequel to his more famous Murders in the Rue Morgue), the exceptional perspicacious nature of the investigator (Poe's Dupin, as well as the more famous Holmes, and others of their literary ilk) seems somewhat diminished, especially in light of the extraordinarily shallow views held by the general populace of that era, complicated no less by a strong penchant for religiosity and superstition. In short, if you were astute, given to reason and fact, and disposed of superstition, you had a serious leg up over the majority of the population in that time. Hell, in some regards, even today.

Lol ! True, but they usually burned or hanged those types, back in the day. We won't ruin this thread by talking about what they do to those types these days.

Quentin Tarantino is still asking... "did I help direct or produce this??"

I highly recommend this one!!

Welcome back Brendan Fraser.

I feel like we've seen this movie before, lol.

That looks good! Glad to see Driver keeping himself out there, unlike the other TFA alum...

I've been waiting for a special time to watch this. Probably tonight! Quentin is thinking "I wrote this! "

Yep, watched it over the weekend.  It was one entertaining movie.  The plot was a bit asinine if you stop to think about it for a minute, but hey, fun is fun.  Movies are meant to be an escape from reality, not  moral lesson.

We did the same. It’s a silly brutal great time with a lot of little jokes here and there like the two seconds of Ryan Reynolds. I really enjoyed this movie and wished I had seen it sooner

Just re watched The Hunt For Red October. What a great flick. Holds up quite well for being 30 years old !

[derex3592]

@BoltOne of the absolute best!  Been thinking about upgrading to the 4K disc! 

[505thAirborne]

If you feel the temptation to watch this one... don't, it's an absolute waste of time.

I was just going to say that about Knives out: Glass Onion.

[TangledThorns]

Ugh, was tempted to restart my Netflix subscription for these movies plus after reading the bad reviews for Pale Blue Eye it looks like I'll delay that.
