The Last Movie You Watched
|
 
I thought it was fine for what it was.
Did see just about everything coming though. Rewatched Rain Man last night. Now that's an amazing flick.

- Your mum, last night, suggesting 69. ![[Image: 41bebac06973488da2b0740b6ac37538.jpg]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/41/be/ba/41bebac06973488da2b0740b6ac37538.jpg) -
"Nothing But the Truth" 7/10 ... quite a good movie ... and the cast really good, I like Kate Beckinsale and Alan Alda ... very, so I watched the movie with pleasure
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."  (June 29, 2018 at 9:22 pm)The Industrial Atheist Wrote: The new Blade Runner. I liked it, but up to a certain point I was wondering why some of the stuff was happening. It seemed unnecessarily violent, particularly the abuse of a certain hot replicant. It took me three days to watch the whole movie, in ~10 minute chunks. Slowwwwwwwwwwww. She Who Would Be Rachael was just a dick. I liked the way they got out of having too much Rachael time. "Just shoot her."  (June 30, 2018 at 6:23 am)Gawdzilla Sama Wrote:(June 29, 2018 at 9:22 pm)The Industrial Atheist Wrote: The new Blade Runner.

The hot replicant I was talking about was the voluptuous one I think the weird replicant with the weird eyes was trying to use to reproduce replicants and was pissed that it didn't work. I think. Parts of that movie I'm not sure why whatever happened happened, still.

If you mean Niander Wallace (the new boss, same as the old boss, except for the cataracts) then I think you're talking about the freshly decanted replicant (Sallie Harmsen) that he cuts open? Yeah, she was a fine product of his company, for sure. 
Gantz : O - 3/10
Only good for the boob physics.

This isn't exactly a movie, but it is feature-length, and it is fascinating as Hell:
It's a filmed production of a theater play, made by the Handspring Puppet Company (the guys who made the War Horse work on stage). The original production was made in 1997, and it was inspired by, among other things, previous productions which melded classic theatre with puppetry and the landscape of South Africa, the 100th anniversary of Albert Jarry's Ubu Roi, and the newly-established Truth and Reconciliation committee. And, speaking as an American who's never left the country, and with a little knowledge of the situation in South Africa (my particular interests in Africa tend to usually be a bit farther north), it's incredible. At one performance, a Romanian woman went up to the cast to congratulate them, saying she was deeply moved by the performance. When asked why something so local could be so accessible to someone from another hemisphere, she said "That's it. It is so local. So local. This play is written about Romania." And it's not terribly hard to see parallels with American society today, with police brutality and a blatantly racist president whose policies are engendering the sort of human rights abuses that are exactly the sort of shit that the Truth and Reconciliation was created to try and reckon with. This production was filmed in 2014. And the entire playscript can be read online, because it seems Google Books was feeling unusually generous that day.

RODAN, 1957. 8/10 This is the third daikaiju* movie from Toho Studios. We have pteroranodon (sic) who has been hatched from an egg buried inside Mt. Aso, a Japanese volcano. Rodan is an insectovore who eats helgramites that are about 15 feet long. These creepy critters have been terrorizing the mining community below the volcano. When some mysterious flying thing appears, doing supersonic speeds the officials are concerned.
From there it gets silly. But it's vintage Toho and innocent of all need to make sense. *Big Monster. |
