Cinema Rate the last movie you saw

It's very impressive how they've tapped into the American psyche with these shit films. The producers can be the David Benioff and D.B. Weiss of cinema - free to create utter shite, except in their case they don't have to worry about pissing off a bunch of nerds.

‘F9’ Vrooms To $70M Pandemic Opening Record, A Win For The Theatrical Window – Sunday AM Update

the same can be said about this new IG/tiktok thing:

(1)
there are thousands and thousands of people doing silly little arm movements. no talent. no creativity. they are cute. so thats the hook. but these videos get millions of views which leads me to believe that viewers get hyponitized by the patterns of hand movements or something and watch a bunch in a row

(2) or even worse, the change of clothes clips. someone will jump up and when they land, they are wearing a different outfit. its some pre-school level video editing. but it works. so again, i think those videos must be able to somehow hypnotise people into watching a bunch in a row or something

I''m not joking when I say this, sometime you should watch them all in order. It's hilarious to watch the (d)evolution of the series.

Tokyo Drift was my limit. Beyond that I felt like Dax Shepard’s character in “Idiocracy”

I could make a good argument that the 5th (the one in Brazil) is actually the best* stand alone movie of the series if we're looking at it as a pure action movie. It was great action and a good caper.



*Best is a very, very relative term when we're talking about F&F movies.

Just watched the Frank Zappa documentary by Bill S. Preston, esq.

It's phenomenal. Something of a hagiography, musically why not, since Frank was an incredible composer.

Warts-and-all doc about everything else. Example, Frank used to openly fuck groupies, his wife Gail knew. He even brought one home and she lived at the house, helped raise the kids.
An interviewer asked him about it, he says she got used to it. Also says he gets the clap, he tells Gail, she goes to get medicine for everyone.
"I like to get my rocks off like anyone. So I do what I do and she does what she does..."

The newest Disney/Pixar movie. Another touching and entertaining story focusing on friendship. I really enjoyed it and so did my kids.

Watched this with my little one a couple nights ago. I thought it was pretty good and of course she loved it. She talked me into watching Raya and the last dragon last night. It was awesome.

When I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon I'll often just pick some random movie that pops up with the intention of napping through it. Amazon offered me this:

3/10. It might be the worst movie I've ever watched that I wasn't watching for the train wreck.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in here yet, Nobody is a great movie. One of my favorites I've seen in a long time.

So you turned it off 7 minutes before the action kicks off? Good move.
