What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[BillyG]

Finally watched Three Billboards.



Really loved it, not shocked considering I just like McDonagh a lot. He's so good at writing actual characters with shit to learn about them. Frances McDormand starts the movie so sympathetic, hardened from her daughter's rape and murder, sure, but sympathetic. Then she becomes just really fucking unlikable. She had bad shit happen to her, a lot of it, but she's a fucking nasty person. By the end of the film I thought the only person that was actually decent, like a real true good person, was Peter Dinklage. And I think a lot of those think pieces about Rockwell's character were overblown. I don't think he was redeemed. I think if anything the problem is with Woody's letter to him saying he knows Rockwell is a decent man. Naw man, he's fucking terrible. That letter should have said "you COULD be a good man" if you stopped being an unrepentant racist piece of shit.

Dinklage was the man. Rockwell wasn't redeemed in so much that mayyyybe he would be on the right path to possibly be at some point by the end. Totally right about Frances.
Should have won over the bullshit that was Shape of Water.

It's unwatchable. I saw it theatrically back when it was out and hated it then.

I fucking love it. I still want a sugar tea cup to chew.

Can't imagine the reaction was that kind back in '80. Released the same month as the equally "...the fuck?!" mega-budget studio epic Flash Gordon. But that still rocks.

[Matt]

it took me a while to 'get' FLASH GORDON for the masterpiece that it is.

Let me put this out there, you don't at least "like" Flash Gordon, I don't fuck with you.

My kid when she was 2 was obsessed with the movie. She had to watch it everyday before she took a nap.


I admire the Disney of that era, because they underwrote most of it and let Paramount do the heavy lifting.

There's a great podcast to be made about the post-Walt, pre-Eisner/Katzenberg era of Disney. Some amazingly ballsy and fucked up films made because they had no idea what would click with audiences and were so desperate.

MOM AND DAD- I'd heard this was a crazy and entertaining movie about a day where suddenly parents have homicidal rage for their kids. The premise is kind of crazy, sure, but it is not entertaining. Nicholas Cage has a few good moments but literally that's it. Everything else is garbage. Directed by Brian Taylor so I guess now we know Neveldine is the talented half of Neveldine and Taylor.

The only cologne that FUCKS.

Spiderman Homecoming. I liked it quite a bit.

Aww man, I enjoyed this a bunch. But I don't have kids so maybe that's why?
