The board reminded me - via my own post - that Billy Gunn and Road Dogg are fucking in The Other Guys

Posted (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.

I knew they were close but not that close.

If they actually had fucked - I would have put The Other Guys on my ballot

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.

Free Solo (2018)

  • Interesting subject matter with an aloof, enigmatic personality at the center
  • Documentary crew interrogates the effect they may be having on the action -- with life or death consequences
  • Love interest wrestles with the high-risk activity she can't talk her man out of
  • Beautifully filmed, with some nail-biting moves from beginning to end
  • Lots of in-depth (for the casual viewer) explanations of the difficulties posed by certain parts of El Cap

All contributing to an expertly-crafted narrative. 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

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 started it and enjoyed what I was able to see but ran out of time.

It is on Disney+ for those that have it

Oh and that is it for today.

I will probably post some over the weekend but maybe like only 10 movies total. We shall see

205) THE SHAPE OF WATER (2017)

Director: Guillermo del Toro

136 Points (4 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: Sublime (#20) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: KLOS, Control, New Blood

IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (92%/72%) : METACRITIC (87/7.0)

NOTE FROM RIPPA - No real reviews just a lot of passive aggressive comments in the Oscars thread from that year

I moved this all over my ballot and I forgot I ended up having it that high. If I did my list today it would probably drop again. This movie is one I run hot and cold on depending on the day/mood.

There's maybe 2-3 I would have considered on my ballot but that's about 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.

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.

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.

Whoops, this should have been on my list. 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..."

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. It's so good.

202) THE OTHER GUYS (2010)

Director: Adam McKay

139 Points (4 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: Caley (#40) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: BP, EVA, KLOS

IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (78%/60%) : METACRITIC (64/6.8)

 

 

This one will always be maybe a tad high on any list I do (And believe me, I already knocked it down a few spots from where it COULD have been on my list) partially because of my first memory of seeing it which was at a Drive-In with my sister, brother-in-law, best friend and his then-fiancee and it was the later movie, so you're already starting to kind of flag and get a little punchy and I really didn't care to see it as I'd already started to feel a bit 'diminishing returns' on Will Ferrell movies but I thoroughly enjoyed this and still do: a hilarious skewering of the hero cop movies and when you sit back and look...what a cast! 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...

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'!"

This one I think would have rated pretty high on this last had more eyeballs watched it.  It's such a gripping documentary.

Re: The New Age Outlaws

With that post I included the image I found about it so if you want to see - its in that post

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.

COLD IN JULY reminds me that Don Johnson had a surprisingly good decade.

As I was making the Cold in July post - I definitely said to myself "Man - Don Johnson really has had an under appreciated career"

Not that it means anything at all but I am pretty sure that is the lowest rated movie across both sites to make the list so far
