True...maybe they're saving:

"Douglas Adams: DON'T PANIC!"

We watched this tonight and loved it, laughed out arses off!

Class of Nuke ’Em High 2 didn’t quite live up to the expectations, despite guest appearances by the Toxic Avenger and Tromie the Radioactive Squirrel. Playing catch with the baby, literally, was amusing.

Watched Heathers for the first time, thought it was amazing. Tina Fey took alot of inspiration from it for Mean Girls and I also think Ledger took inspiration from it for his Joker portrayal. 80s teen movies are the best, and while this one is much darker than the rest, it's an absolute most watch. It's also absolutely a movie that would never be made today, no studio would touch this great script.

I just watched it for the first time this weekend, as well. A lot A list actors in addition to a lot of lower list actors that I recognized including Floki from Vikings and Rufus from Norsemen.

Saw the Bob Marley movie. Enjoyable, but kind of flimsy. Someone called it the dorm room poster version of Marley’s life.

Much of the running time is devoted to the music and nothing wrong with that. Who doesn’t love his music?

Lisa Frankenstein was wonderful, with it's gothic neon 80s vibes. Very influenced by the works of one Timothy Burton, if this movie came out 30 years ago it's starting Johnny Depp and Wynonna Ryder. I really enjoyed how quirky it was, I can see this one becoming a cult classic much the same way Jennifer's Body did. Love all the nods to classic horror sprinkled throughout, I almost cheered when Day of the Dead was shown.

Also, maybe it's because I just watched it yesterday but I got strong vibes from Heather's as well.

Watched a little known Michael J Fox movie 'The Secret Of My Success" Had some good laughs

Dune Part 2 is coming out in a few weeks. Perfect opportunity to refresh on Denis Villeneuve. Arrival is my favourite film of the 2010's, and Prisoners is pretty great as well.

[jerichozo]

The Holdovers is my favourite movie of 2024. Oppenheimer was my second.

More people should be talking about Blackberry this awards season. Glenn Howerton is amazing.

[jerichozo]

Iron Claw is great, very depressing, Zac Efron is great in it. Has an amazing Rush needle drop.

[jerichozo]

Bottoms is one of the best high school comedies I've seen in a long time. Marshawn Lynch as a history teacher is amazing!

Came in to post the same.
I usually struggle with movies this long but it kept me engaged the whole time; loved every minute of it.

Past Lives getting a best picture nomination is amazing. Really quiet, contemplative movie that I'm happy is getting love.

I watched Anatomy of a Fall last night and really enjoyed it. Definitely a nice take on a murder/mystery (?) but a heavy focus on the son which i thought was a great choice.

[jerichozo]

Don't Worry Darling is not weird enough to be interesting and not bad enough to be amusing. Just left disappointed.

I'm a Taiki Waititi defender but I can't really stand up for Next Goal Wins

[jerichozo]

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is the exactly what I want from Taika Waititi. A lovely comedy with a lot of sweetness.
