Green Building Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 No matter how hard I try I just don't watch a lot of movies, I mean it took me until now to finally see Interstellar. Holy $&!#, they nailed it! Some stuff felt a bit rushed, similar to The Martian where large amounts of time are being portrayed over mere minutes in the film, but I don't know how they'd go about making that feel more organic with out making the movie much much longer. Anything I didn't like about it is just nit-picky because they crushed the science. I don't even know the last time I liked a movie this much, it just doesn't happen.

Svengali Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The Shape of Water. 8/10 ... really liked this one. Sally Hawkins was great, if it were up to me I'd give her an Oscar for sure. Richard Jenkins was also great. Fantastic visually, fun music as well. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. 1/10 ... worst film I've seen in ages: Spoiler Absolutely terrible writing, the script is complete garbage. So many bad performances. Listening to Francis McDormand deliver her cringe-inducing cheesy-as-hell dialogue over and over again was bloody awful. The fact that she's winning awards for this is mind boggling ... The whole thing is so badly directed and so poorly executed it's ridiculous. Can't believe this is the same guy who wrote and directed In Bruges, it's like he was kicked in the head by a donkey. (why the hell are the critics eating it up? It's unbelievably bad. Are they all being paid for positive reviews? Blah ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really like Jessica Chastain (and Idris Elba). Just not great. Perfectly adequate 5/10 film I wouldn’t watch again. 3 hours ago, Svengali said: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. 1/10 ... worst film I've seen in ages Wow.

At the very least, did her delivery of all those tacky, cheesy lines of dialogue not bother you at all? I mean how about her little speech comparing priests to Bloods and Crips in LA, spoken like an embarrassing little edgy angry-atheist neckbeard-wearing-a-fedora going on an forum rant? That was so awful to witness coming from of a grown woman. Or those lines between Woody Harleson and his wife in the bedroom, straight out of a porno, man they were so incredibly cheesy ... I think the writer/director has devolved into a manchild and somehow, luckily for us, managed to make In Bruges before his transformation took place. (were you multi-tasking? Carrying Baby Monty while this movie was on? And the volume was on mute? And it was badly streaming on a tiny old device? With a cracked screen? While you were running from one of those packs of wild dogs that roam the frozen streets of Winnipeg? It's the only logical explanation for you liking it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, watched it on Saltspring Island in my mom’s massive home theatre. Baby was fast asleep. I genuinely loved it. A few little bits of dialogue that you mentioned didn’t bother me at all. I really don’t like Woody Harrelson, but I actually thought this was where he works best. A minor part where he’s noticeable, but not even the main supporting role (ie: No Country for Old Men roll as well). Just there for a bit. Really, really enjoyed it.
