jerseydave77 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 How did you see revenant already? That seems like a see in theaters movie and glad its the case. Looking forward to hateful eight. Theater near me is getting the 70mm print and going to check it out that way. Through my Guild. I'm seeing H-8 tomorrow as well. I think you'll see a ton of noms for Revenant and DiCaprio deserves serious consideration but right now Room is winning for me overall.

rooks Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The Revenant was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed it. Thought Hardy was better than DiCaprio though, personally. Still, cool film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hateful Eight I was expecting something with a bit more action but this was damn enjoyable. This is the most Tarantino something can get in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I've been working through The Wire. Just started season 4. This show is better than Breaking Bad if they end it right. Also have Mr Robot S1 to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I didn't watch it but someone told me that Adam Sandler Netflix Original is awful, just in case anyone was tricked into thinking that Sandler could still make a good movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have Mr Robot S1 to watch. Season 4 is really good. I think S2 is my favorite/the best, but really I don't think there's a weak season of the entire series.

chkadea Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Started watching a documentary series on Netflix called Making a Murderer. Only 2 episodes in, but hooked. It's about the Steven Avery case if anyone is familiar, from around Green Bay, WI, and how he was wrongfully accused of a rape, and then going through the trial of the subsequent murder he's been convicted of committing. Also in the middle of Mr. Robot - what an excellent show all around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Last Dinosaur is not a kids movie lol... I'm not sure what Pixar/Disney were doing on this one. Semi-enjoyable as far as kids movies go, but, pretty bad overall. Especially for Disney/Pixar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi-enjoyable as far as kids movies go, but, pretty bad overall. Especially for Disney/Pixar. My five year old enjoyed it. Definitely a bit more in the sad Bambi-Old School Disney vein but I enjoyed it all in all. Certainly not my favorite film but I appreciate that they are treating kids as intelligent and willing to challenge them emotionally. It's my biggest complaint with a lot of kids tv and films - they treat them with this oddball idealized notion of what kids should be instead of speaking to them as they actually are. I always point to ET as an example of a brilliant kids film for these reasons. Anyway, I disagree with you a degree. We can't all like the same movies.

I just thought some of it was a bit outside of what I expect from Disney/Pixar. Obviously you know one of the parents isn't gonna make it, it's Disney. But for the kid to have flashbacks and nightmares about it was a little gritty. Just seemed like the whole movie was about the kid getting hurt and crying. Plus - while my girlfriend and I absolutely cracked up - I can't imagine how a kid/parent would react to the rotten fruit = awesome hallucinations scene. It was hilarious but.. I wouldn't want my kid eating some rotten fruit off the ground because he thought he'd laugh and his head would grow and he'd fly in the sky and have a great time haha. I was a bit harsh in my comment, we enjoyed it, I just thought it was a little gritty for a Disney. They all have their struggles/tribulations but this one was like every single turn he was getting hit, falling, beaten, eaten, fought, drowning, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I forgot about the fruit. Ha ha ha. I passed on explaining that one because my boy didn't ask. You know, it's not one my kid has asked to see again unlike Charlie Brown. Pixar tries to tow the line between for kids and adults and it didn't really hit on either. I liked it but it will not ever be seen as a classic. I'm ready to re-watch Inside Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipsterasfolk Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Finally going to kick back and relax to watch Dallas Buyers Club w/ my boy Matty Mc! Watched Minions with my mom the other night (of course and no JK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Finally saw Mockingjay Pt. 2 and while I'm satisfied with how it all turned out, it really should've been one movie. Even this one had a slow pace at times which really shows that the split was pretty much just a cash grab. I'd like to see someone turn both parts into one big film that tells (and ends) the story with a bang without having so many scenes that simply didn't have to be included.

All the other films were so great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan4life Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Excited the Connection is on Amazon Prime, watching it in pieces. EDIT: and going to see The Hateful Eight tonight at Alamo Drafthouse in 70mm!! So stoked for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I saw hateful eight in 70mm this morning and really enjoyed it. Overture, intermission and playbill program were all a nice touch. It all looked great in 70mm, even the lodge where it captured all the little nuances in such a small space. I think its only playing for a few more days so dont sleep on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
