What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Captain Russ]

What might have been had they just not made the movie in the first place.

[Ben Thomas]

Meaning?

[Captain Russ]

Meaning that everyone could have gone and done some other project instead of wasting time and money on the endeavor. The whole genre is so damned bloated there is nothing left to do with that specific time and place, fictional or not.

[Captain Russ]

I'm just bitter that it didn't evolve into Johnny Dangerously 2.0.

[B_Metal]

There was a twist?

Kidding of course. Every beat save the gatling gun was telegraphed from the opening.

Fun, but exceptionally dumb lines throughout. I especially enjoyed Arterton's opening line to Stormare. A runner up would be the "Don't eat the fucking candy" reading from Renner.

Yeah, there was a ton of derp but somehow it kept us watching so it couldn't have been to turrible. Plus that poor sheriff's nose. Lulz

Agreed and I'm a sucker for gangster shit. It's time to give it a rest unless someone comes up with something SUPPPPPER fucking original.

[Ben Thomas]

Yeah, agreed.

I watched THE GOONIES the other night. Man, I do not remember basically every line if dialogue being screamed by basically everyone except Samwise. There's just constant yelling. I still like the Goldberg devices and adventure but, holy crap, shut the hell up already.

[B_Metal]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh man.

You are now on Matt's side. The wrong side.

The Great Gatsby (1974) and (2013)


1974: Unjustly shat upon. Amazing script, steady direction and Redford personified Gatsby. Plus, Bruce Dern was amazing.

2013: Amazing direction, brilliant cinematography, excellent design. DiCaprio and the script miss the fucking point like a blind kid playing darts.

[Captain Russ]

Agreed on the '74 shot.

[B_Metal]

DiCaprio gets a pass for his performance in Django. That is all.

Gatsby isn't Blood Diamond bad, but it was an easy layup that ended up with him cracking his face on the hardwood.

[B_Metal]

It happens. I just hope it doesn't become a habit.

Goonies is shit, brah.
