Quote:I finished watching Stranger Things. It's just a very good series with very good characters. Definitely worth my uncharacteristic binge watching. Not necessarily all that original. I've seen all the tropes before but maybe that was the point.
When you can say you've seen the tropes before but still enjoyed a very good series means the writers, directors and actors did a phenomenal job and I think that's what happened with Stranger Things. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Millie Brown. That girl hit it out of the atmosphere, nevermind the ballpark.
I remember trying to watch Blue is the Warmest Color before. What is it like 5 hours long? Didn't make it.
Interstellar is one of those rare movies that made a big impression on me. I hated Fury Road.
I need to see Interstellar again. I also hated Fury Road. With a passion.

The trick with Tarrantino movies is to focus on the dialogue, not the action. And, like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, you gotta listen.
Hope he does make the 30s gangster movie he's been talking about.
Quote:Just watched it again last night. The scene where Jackson gets the General to shoot him is a classic.
Quote:Add Chronicle and Afflicted to talks list as wellAfflicted! So gross, so good!
Quote:Snowpiercer is good too.
Quote:I watched Deathgasm on Netflix over the weekend. If you're a fan of heavy metal and horror, you should check it out for sure.
Looking forward to some upcoming horror movies, like Don't Breathe and Blair Witch. I feel like the Blair Witch Project is a very underappreciated horror film.
Quote:Nothing wrong with a good horror movie, as long as it is done tastefully.This one is really over the top though and really ridiculous. It's a horror-comedy, actually. Still a fun movie.
Quote:Saw the Suicide Squad movie last night.. LOVED IT!!
I can't see what the critics were complaining about, personally.
Quote:Saw the Suicide Squad movie last night.. LOVED IT!!I have heard nothing but good things. I have gone from nah, to maybe, to wanting to see it.

Quote:I'd put it something like this:Seven Samurai is my current favorite Kurosawa films. I haven't seen Dreams yet, waiting for an eventual Criterion bluray release.
