EVA Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I’ve literally never heard of COLD IN JULY before right this instant, and after watching the trailer, I’m wondering how that’s possible. That looks squarely in my southern noir wheelhouse. Edited October 3, 2020 by EVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 THE OTHER GUYS is a really good comedy, but if you want to pinpoint the exact moment Adam McKay jumped the shark, stick around for the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't had a chance to see this yet, it's one of the better things waiting for you on Disney+. out of four http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8022-2019-q4-movie-discussion/&do=findComment&comment=941521 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Free Solo might be my "first out" movie as the only reason it didn't make my ballot was I didn't finish it.

I fully admit I've probably screwed up the dignity of this list by voting in most of the Marvel movies (Thor 2 was waaaay down my list) because, to be honest, those are the majority of what I've watched in the last 10 years.

jaedmc Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Yeah I wouldn't worry about it.. Movie lists make me want to shit post, and I've got zero legs to stand on. So certainly don't take my bullshit seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Yeah, half the fun is griping about what did or didn't make the cut. Those Marvel movies are going to increasingly receive a lot of votes so they will be very much part of the dignity of the list. I've seen all but maybe six of them and I've seen everything DC and enjoyed it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the way Spoiler the movie starts out with you kinda rooting for the guy, like when he overly-violently stands up for the kid getting bullied, then gradually just gets worse and worse to where you finally have to go "Ok, I guess he's not the good guy anymore..." 18 hours ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 204) COLD IN JULY (2014) Director: Jim Mickle 136 Points (3 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: New Blood (#31) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Execproducer, Caley IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (83%/67%) : METACRITIC (73/7.3) I bought this at a closing of a video rental place, after seeing a recommendation of it here (I think), sat down to watch it and got about twenty minutes in and went "Guy shoots stranger in home, vengeful relative comes for revenge...seen this before" and then the DVD stopped working so I just shut it off. It wasn't until some time later that I decided to give it another go and was stunned when it went in a completely different direction than I expected and, thinking about it now, makes me wonder why I'm not watching it right now.

Ferrell, Wahlberg, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Bobby Cannavale, The Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Eva Mendes, Anne Heche, Damon Wayans Jr., Rob Riggle, the CEO of Dunder Mifflin, Rob Huebel, and amidst all that, I never noticed that... 18 hours ago, RIPPA said: The board reminded me - via my own post - that Billy Gunn and Road Dogg are fucking in The Other Guys I honestly read this and went "How have I never noticed the New Age Outlaws never mind being in, but having sex in 'The Other Guys'!"

Curt McGirt Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Cold In July is great but Michael C. Hall should have never tried a Southern accent. Or at least modified it, went lighter with it. It doesn't work with every actor, and not everybody sounds the same based on region anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
