AxB Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I actually typed in "objectionable woman" in that post. I think it's the board equivalent of calling someone a berk*. * Mild British pejorative from the 80s, usually considered to be not that offensive - like calling someone a chump. Only it originates from rhyming slang, and was an abbreviation of Berkeley Hunt. Which has one obvious rhyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was so magnificent and awesome. One of my top 5 movies from last year. I don't have one single complaint or thing I wished was done differently about. Only other movie I can say that about is Guardians of the Galaxy, and even then, I'm sure there's something I would change. If there was a change to Guardians, it would be to switch Zoe and Karen GIllan in their roles. . . IF. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My wife and I made a short film/video essay by editing together elements from THE BIG LEBOWSKI and MULHOLLAND DRIVE like it was one movie. It has boobs so NSFW: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Man, echoing the sentiments from earlier in the thread about Big Hero 6. Fun, funny, entertaining, likeable and if I was a 9 year old kid, it'd pretty much be my favourite film ever. As it is, I'm a 29 year old kid and it's still fucking awesome. Not sure if it's even worth putting in spoilers but: Totally had to have James Cromwell voiced dude turn out to be the villain of the piece because why else would you hire Rolo Tomassi? If I'm good this year, I want a Baymax for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 My dog's name is Bailey and since we saw the movie months ago, my daughter continues to now call him Baymax, which amuses me greatly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Homefront - Jason Statham is a former DEA agent living in the middle of nowhere after an undercover bust gone bad. When his daughter beats up a bully at school, he ends up on the wrong side of some nasty characters. It's then up to him to defend his...homefront. Look, this ain't rocket science. You know what you're getting going in - Statham looking and acting tough, great fight sequences and a barely plausible story. It's the Jason Statham formula - and it works. Rounding out the cast are Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth as meth addicts. Bosworth, who hasn't looked healthy since Blue Crush, looks positively awful here. I mean, I know she's supposed to but...wow. She looks genuinely anorexic, ill, and messed-up here. But she's really good in her role. Anyway, this is standard fare. Entertaining though! 6/10. Bosworth never really recovered from the Lois Lane debacle. And someone needs to give Winona her own television show. Maybe something where she solves crimes while drinking and being all troubled and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I do enjoy that my son immediately picked up on the fact that TJ Miller (who was voicing Fred) also voiced Tuffnut in the How To Train Your Dragon stuff. Also - my wife was telling me that people are her school were PISSED that they went to see Into the Woods and didn't know it was a musical That made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Also - my wife was telling me that people are her school were PISSED that they went to see Into the Woods and didn't know it was a musical That made me laugh and laugh and laugh. To be fair, with 'Into the Woods', the previews did not really show the musical aspects, so if you don't know the source material, you wouldn't necessarily know that without some digging. My brother (who hates musicals) and I were talking on Christmas day and he was saying how his girlfriend's mother wanted to take them out to a movie and he was hoping they'd choose 'Horrible Bosses 2' or 'Into the Woods' and I was surprised about the latter, being a musical and all, and my brother went "It's a MUSICAL?! Okay, now I really hope it's Horrible Bosses 2'!" (For completion's sake, they ended up staying in and renting 'Chef'). I talked to two other people who were unaware it was a musical, as well. I wasn't aware myself after seeing the early trailers, until I saw Rob Marshall's name and thought "Has he ever directed anything that's not a musical? I bet this is one, too." (For the record, yes, he did. Pirates of the Carribean 4 and Memoirs of A Geisha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Has anyone seen "Predestination" yet? It's a closed loop time travel story so, by its very nature, it's absurd. Still, I think it's worth a look. It's certainly different from anything else you'll see. I won't say much more about it yet; don't want to give anything away.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 American Sniper is okay at best. Bradley Cooper is great (maybe not Oscar winner great) but the rest of it is a pretty generic. Lone Survivor was much better and more realistic in how it was shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Probably echoed by many in previous threads, I don't know, but while I've only seen maybe a dozen films in 2014, I seriously doubt anything else I see is going to even come close to Whiplash. I have become so jaded and seen so many movies over the years, that it takes so much to really wow me. But I was in absolute awe at how practically perfect everything about this movie is. The first movie since maybe The Wrestler that when it was over, I wanted to watch it again. Right then and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've seen pushback from some people on that movie along the lines of "Jazz is supposed to be about finesse and creativity, not brute force." Unfortunately, those people are dumb. Like I get that you don't become, for example, great at painting by doing 50 paintings a day until your hands bleed from holding the paintbrush. But if there's ANY discipline at all that requires you to put in that level of effort, and there is, then the movie is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't think it's a movie about jazz at all. And people that argue that have completely missed the point. It's about "how far will you go to be more than just great. And how far over the line will you let someone push you to get to that point." What happens in the movie could pretty much be applied to any artistic talent, and the movie would be just as powerful. And JK Simmons absolutely deserves the Oscar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
