Movie Thread

Watched ?Bad Times at the El Royale? yesterday because it was just too cold to go outside.

I would say if you enjoy Tarantino type movies (Pulp Fiction, Hateful Eight, etc.) you might like it. It has those types of quirky characters and a story line that jumps around a bit.

I agree. It was a sort of Tarantino like film. No real good people or evil people, just people with histories, put together in an unusual circumstance and some creative violence.

Saw Vice last night. Since the movie was written and directed by a former head writer at SNL, I should have known that it wouldn't be funny, but I was not prepared for just how unfunny, and boring a hit piece it was. I was working at the White House during much of the time when this movie took place and it was staggering just how much provably false information was in the movie. Who knew that Dick Cheney was responsible for changing the term Global Warming to Climate Change? And what a ball buster this movie makes our of Lynne Cheney. Just the Virginia house shown in the movie that the Cheney's lived in was about three times larger than their actual house. Evil rich people... It is the closest I have come to walking out of a movie in many years. I'm glad I didn't because the end credit scene, of the focus group, shows you exactly what the makers of this movie think about conservatives.

I just got back from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the story was well written. True to the Spider-Man character as envisioned by Stan Lee. The animation was very good and the movie just moved along well. I will see this movie again.

I don't know what is next for us; Welcome to Marwen or The Mule. I'm sure we will get around to Aquaman but the last forty years have not been kind to the character and I have never been a big fan of DC superheros anyway.
