2021 UPCOMING MOVIES DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Ed Wood is the only one I really come back to. I think I slept through Sleepy but caught it later in life and yeah, I can see why the parents complained, it was pretty dark. I liked it well enough but Christina losing the weight was a disappointment... though I've always got Buffalo '66 for that. God, by the time Black Snake Moan came out she was a cadaver.

Ed Wood is one of the best films of the 90's, for some reason it's never on the streaming services! Sleepy Hollow is really good, I think a lot of people avoid it due to it being another Burton-Depp flick. Even though it's a mess I really like Dark Shadows.

Speaking of Depp I caught the end of From Hell again recently. Just brutal. I can't think of many period pieces as bloody as that, unless we're talking Caligula or Titus or something. (Also, Titus is my favorite Shakespeare adaptation next to the Russian Macbeth cartoon.)

I like Titus a lot, but the Richard III set in the 20s with tanks and fascists and stuff whips all kinds of ass.

Forgot to mention that I caught most of Julius Caesar with Marlon Brando on TCM last week. I came in right as the conspirators were starting to talk behind Caesar's back and it struck me how... conversational? the conversation they had was. Through the language there was such a level of snark. I don't remember it reading like that; I suppose you have to see it acted out.

The Branagh Much Ado About Nothing is probably the best filmed Shakespearean comedy, fwiw.

Keeton set an impossible standard to playing Dogberry from here on out with this.

 

It was also fun to wach Keanu *way* the fuck out of his depth doing Shakespeare (at the time, he might be able to pull it off now)

Hmmm I wouldn't mind seeing Reeves in a tragedy instead. He might have a great King Lear inside of him.

In January 1995 Keanu Reeves, in the first thing he did post-Speed, came to Winnipeg and performed Hamlet for a month. The City lost it's mind while he was here. It wasn't a touring production either, it was only performed in Winnipeg

Netflix has worked out a deal with Cinemark where Army of the Dead will now be released in 200 Cinemark theaters on May 14 - a week before the movie debuts on Netflix

Entertainment Weekly says the total number of screens it will be on is closer to 600 as it will also be run in "smaller independent and regional theater chains, including Landmark Theatres and Alamo Drafthouse"

While not expressly said - it has been teased that future Netflix releases might get similar deals
