hammerva Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 I wanted to be excited for a new Beverly Hills Cop but it feels like Eddie Murphy has been dogging it for a good 10 years in movies.
Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 What, you didn't see Dolemite Is My Name? I had to look it up: Beverly Hills Cop is one year shy of being 40 years old. The third one was made in 1992, which makes it 32 as of next year.

I saw the US premiere in LA, and it was spectacular. Shin Godzilla was more of a political satire. This is a post-WWII drama mixed with a disaster movie. Great reset for the franchise, and it actually nails the human story. See this movie opening day. My rinky dink little desert town finally started showing Godzilla Minus One this week. It's absolutely worthy of all the hype it's getting. A friend of mine had told me that it was "fantastic" and I had to tell her that she'd actually undersold it. It's basically a mix of Jaws, Independance Day, and Full Metal Jacket. I honestly think that you can show it to someone who doesn't care at all about kaiju or Godzilla and they'd reallly enjoy it! 1

Most Godzilla movies, especially the Hollywood ones, the human characters are garbage and you're just waiting for monsters to show up and fight. This one actually built a compelling human storyline and made the humans likable, tragic figures. Like the reason we love Jaws isn't because we want to see the shark eat people, it's because we care about Chief Brody, Quint, and everyone else.

I knew Sandy would willing go to Across The Spider-Verse so that was her first movie theater trip. If I had known it 2 and half hours going in I would've waited but I will not trade the experience of my daughter in my lap, snuggling her daddy as we both watched Spider-Man together for anything Some things are meant for a movie theater James This reminds me of taking my daughter to the first Spider-Verse and her just being completely captivated, wanting to know who everyone was. One of my favorite movie-going experiences.

Like everyone is laughing at this already purely because of that. I’m mildly amused by this response to the trailer because a) California and Texas being united is obviously one of the hooks for the trailer, and b) it isn’t actually set in “the real world,” but people are getting hung up on this as if it was. Adding to the conversation about pre-COVID movies, I’m pretty sure the last one I saw in theaters before the shutdown was Frozen 2 (twice). The first one I saw after was Multiverse of Madness. 1

Also it's at 74 on Metacritic with 34 reviews counted. 1
Curt McGirt Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Figured as much. As soon as I read the first paragraph I was like "fuck this dude": Quote “The Iron Claw” inadvertently shares a lot in common with the professional wrestling world it depicts. A lot of energy and passion clearly went into it, and there’s a drive to entertain and thrill, but it ultimately ends up feeling empty and superficial. Boy if that isn't the ultimate backhanded compliment 1
Greggulator Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 I barely watch any movies anymore but The Iron Claw is really good. Dorky wrestling fans like us would be the first to pan a movie about rasslin’ but it’s really good. They capture the emotional resonance of an insane family with pressure and tragedy.
Curt McGirt Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 I just looked it up at my local and it's 2 hr. 13 min. in case you were wondering. That's... a bit long. Not that I mind of course.
odessasteps Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 We were ordering our tickets for the Tuesday matinee and, as of when i bought the tickets, they were the first two sold.

Not that I mind of course. 2:13 isn't long these days. "Long" in 2023 starts around 2:40. Hell, I long for the days of a 90-95 minute movie, but editing is a lost art. 2
Curt McGirt Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Well, I don't go to the Marvel movies. It's either 90 minutes or 4 hours for me, I suppose. I plan on going tomorrow at noon. Hopefully it's even less crowded than Thanksgiving was, though I doubt it. My Road Report will include a giant bag of popcorn and 40 oz. of Coke. Edited December 22, 2023 by Curt McGirt 2
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Unless it's an animated movie or a horror film in the what use to be the slow period of the year (Jan-Mar.), the 90 minute film is slowly dying out. Even the mid budget comedy films are at least 105-115 minutes long. So yeah, nothing stands out about the runtime for The Iron Claw.
