Moonrise Kingdom is one of the most fantastic movies it has ever been my pleasure to watch.

Kaw-Liga - Hank Williams

>Javert

In other news, Anne Hathaway KILLED IT. I don't even know where to begin with her performance.

>>36274
Really? I watched it the other day and found it rather underwhelming. Cute, for sure, but little more than that.

>>36275
I can totally see that being a reaction to this movie, it's bottles a certain magic I grew up with and as such totally enraptured me.

Like Stand By Me and a lot of coming of age stories, either it nails you or does nothing.

Francoise Hardy - Le Temps De …

It really is great to have more stuff to watch on Netflix.
I guess I'm going to have to subscribe to this VPN service as well.
It's like the modern day equivalent of owning a grey-market satellite dish.

Thinking of seeing Les Miserables, but I haven't seen any incarnation of the story or read the book, should I do it anyways?

I'm sorta iffy on musicals. I really like the Disney ones, Repo!, Rocky Horror, and Sweeney Todd, but I haven't watched many others.

>>36276
I mean, I LOVED Stand By Me. Moonrise Kingdom felt less like a coming of age story and more like Wes Anderson playing with dolls. Not that the acting was bad. The acting was great, but the characters didn't quite ring true.

>>36280
I disagree with you but I respect your opinion.

>>36278
You'll probably have problem following the story if you've not read the book or seen the play. The pacing is too fast.

But as someone who has read the book, it was fun. Had some slow bits, and they really should have just spoken some parts as all of the forced singing was clearly uncomfortable for a number of actors, Crowe and Jackman in particular.

But I still liked it a lot. Hathaway killed it in her solos, LOOK DOWN is spectacularly menacing, and every time they broke out Do You Hear the People Song I wanted to climb up on the barricade with them.

This movie... is a good movie!
Garciá Marquéz would love it if he wasn't senile.
And DAT LAST PART. Which story do you prefer?

>>36287

Had you read the book before seeing it? Just curious.

>>36289
Didn't knew about the book until an hour before I watched it.
Are there any significant differences with the book?

>>36291
The book drives home the whole "atheism is bad" message harder.

>>36292

Actually that's not the case at all. It's agnosticism that the book doesn't like. It's a-ok fine with atheism.

>>36293
Have not read the book nor seen the movie (yet), though I know the basic plot (spoiler included). But I find this atheism - ok / agnosticism - not ok thing interesting. How does it work?

I admit learning about the whole "agnosticism is bad" thing just killed my desire to see Life of Pi. What's so wrong about not having an absolute view on whether God exists or not?

David Bowie: Where Are We Now? Full Video
Based Bowie is back!

>>36295
You should still check it out, since I felt it's better to get your own personal conclusions and interpretations from the movie since that's what the movie offers rather than a message of "agnosticism sucks".
Actually, I never got that message from the movie.
Also, one of the few films when the 3D is great.

>>36294

Basically: atheists are taking a stance, agnostics are refusing to.

This is, incidentally, grossly, grossly oversimplified.

>>36295
I'm agnostic and Life of Pi is one of my favourite books.

I don't really see how people get into a huge religion debacle over it.
Pi is a kid that chooses to follow multiple religions, the first part of the book is mostly about how he acquired them and why he chose to do it.

It's a personal story of kid told from first person, I never saw it as preachy.

Pi himself can be cocky at times but he is a young, intelligent teen, they tend to be that way.

So a while ago I promesed people on /co/ that'd I post about Rifftrax showings in theaters. Welp mark your calenders for the 24th AND 31st of this month! They are NOT new live shows, but re-runs. Still if you like Rifftrax, it'll still be a treat.

So I just got into Game of Thrones series and I wish I had waited until more seasons have past because I can't wait for the new ones to come out...

The writer is the guy who did Little Miss Sunshine. Which gets all sorts of accolades as a well-written movie, but the tone isn't exactly a Star Wars tone and I don't know how well those skills will translate over to a Genre flick.

>>36413
Now that's officially confirmed by StarWars.com, I have to say it's not a bad choice. He did a good job rebooting Star Trek and he's obviously a big science fiction fan, judging by his body of work. With him and Michael Arndt on Star Wars, Episode 7 is looking to be a pretty good mivie.

Honestly, I'm just thankful Disney/Lucas didn't give the job to Joss Whedon. Maybe now those "Help me Joss Whedon. . ." pics will be less frequent on Pinterest.

I don't even like JJ Abrams as a sirector but anything, literally ANYTHING would be an improvement over Georgie. Yes, even Shiamalamadingdong or Baysplosion.

It seriously boggles the mind that both Star Wars and Star Trek are under the same director.

>>36431

just

keikaku

>>36434
which hopefully means they'll remember the series roots like the Jedi Knight film is doing.

Lincoln is like a series of old timey rap battles, and Tommy Lee Jones brought the hottest beats. Also some sweet political skullduggery.

Pretty fucking fun movie.

Also Disney canned the other 3D Star Wars remakes apparently.

I'm actually kind of a fan of the kind of movies/music/aesthetic they're parodying here, but the parody's still pretty apt, and I got a laugh out of it.

>Evil Dead without Bruce

This thing has no chance of being good.

On the other hand, Raimi seems ready to apologize for Spiderman 3 and Drag Me to Hell with that Oz movie.

>>36578
Huh, I thought DMtH was pretty decent. Could have ended a couple minutes before it did, but overall alright. Scared me.

Then again, I'm not too pumped for the Oz one, so different strokes I guess.

Was expecting Die Hard 5 to suck, but it was pretty alright, man. I can't not like Bruce Willis in anything for some reason. I think if Bruce Willis and Will Smith were buddies in a movie, it would be impossible to dislike.

My only quip with the Die Hard series is that all of the badass ladies are evil. We can't have Lucy McClane with a gun instead of her brother? C'mon.

>>36578
Speaking of things Sam Raimi was involved in,

This. Fucking. Show.

You should be watching it. You have no reason not to watch it.

Go watch it.

>>36587
Was alright I guess. That damn blue filter somehow makes everything look less interesting, and the occasional shaky camera doesn't help.

Fun fact: apparently that's the first Die Hard movie that had a script made specially for it, not adapted from something else

House Of Cards - Episode 4 Recap

Thinking about getting into Supernatural and Game of Thrones.

I know basically nothing about either of them, but I can't turn my head without seeing someone mention them.

>>36629
Game of Thrones is going to be a lot easier to get into as it only has two seasons and it requires no backstory from the book. Supernatural... someone else can help you with that.

>>36629
Supernatural is a show about two underwear models fighting evil episodically and making quips.

>>36631
So like Psych, but with demons?

>>36633

Pretty much. There's also more melodrama and less quirky nicknames given by the Sean (In this case Dean) to the Gus (Which is pretty much Sam, but he can sometimes play the Sean role).

>>36634
>>36633
>>36631
My only gripe is that while I'm okay with the lighthearted flirting between Gus and Shawn (even if they're not actually gay), I can't do it between Sam and Dean because they're brothers and I have a slight (okay, more than slight) thing against incest, especially twincest.

>>36630
What's GoT about?

>>36635
Fantasy Europe is about to get invaded by horrible ice monsters whose previous invasions promted the creation of a mile high, continent spanning wall, but everyone in fantasy Europe is too busy in a succession crisis dick measuring crisis to bother doing anything about it. Sex, violence, snark.

>>36635
People within the show sometimes assume they are gay. They have daddy issues. They don't really flirt with each other.

>>36635
Concerning Supernatural, they're not twins, any flirting is just yaoi goggles (shippers gonna ship I guess), the parts where they episodically fight evil (my favorties) unfortunately are interrupted by long storylines about stopping the Apocalypse (there's a lot of "chosen one" crap involved in this, so if you hate that kinda thing, it's a downside). I'm not sure about the underwear model part being used to promote it, never noticed. It's largely about family and classic rock, really.

>>36641
I admit the "chosen one" thing gets on my nerves, but only because it's never justified, really, why them out of everyone ever.

I thought the "underwear model" thing was a crack at how everyone's good-looking in a classical way in the show. Every show is now. I've given up on finding a show devoid of stereotypically attractive actors, just like I've given up on my dream of seeing a blockbuster, award-winning movie starring and directed by zero well-known people.

>>36595
First episode already.
HOLY SHIT I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS

Watching and comparing The Cult to The Following, The Cult has much better feel at least so far going on the first couple of episodes head to head IMO.

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/03/29/richard-griffiths-died-harry-potter/

Well, this is sad to hear.

Additionally, it's sad that I've grown accustomed to assuming that if I first hear of a celebrity death on Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook (which I did for this one), that I automatically assume it to be false at first. There's enough people who find it hilarious to lie to people about things like this that you end up trusting nobody anymore.

WTF did I just watch? Who were all these people in the car with him? I'm guessing colleagues for the most part, but they kind of came out of nowhere. The whole movie felt like it had this huge world just outside the car that was interesting but they never let us see it, they just kept us stuck it that stupid car with the boring main character. And on the few occasions we're let out, they tell us nothing.

>>36410
Because I never got a chance to say due to down time:

This would be the best way to make a Gremlins 3:
The movie advertises the most groundbreaking CGI methodology to date and compliments the movie by including a 10 minute documentary at the beginning where they show off the technology of the movie. They center in on a guy displaying an animated gremlin on his computer screen when the program freezes. The documentary's narrator makes the excuse that the technology is so advanced that some computers have trouble running it when a proper gremlin smashes through the screen, grabs the guy by his tie, then starts slamming him face first into his keyboard, laughing that hysterical cackle of theirs. The crew is chased out of the studios as they run a gauntlet of gremlins destroying the set itself, getting dressed up for roles as famous villains, and throwing stage hands off of sets.

We then meet the head gremlin antagonists: The director Gremlins. Each should be a satirical characterization of George Lucas, Micheal Bay, and Uwe Boll.

Scary Movie 5 is using the theme song from Beetlejuice in their ads.

I have not felt the desire, the NEED to make someone suffer for an action in a long time.

Went to an early showing of Evil Dead tonight. Not bad.

That snuck up on me.

only took 20 years but i finally got to see my favourite movie at the cinema

>>36753
Yeah it BETTER come to sweden so I can do that too!

>>36753
I was 6, maybe 7 years old when that came out. I was obsessed with dinosaurs at that age. I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. My parents thought it would be a good idea to let me watch it in the theaters.

I very nearly literally shit my pants. I left the theater shaking in fear, and I stopped loving dinosaurs. Sad.

>>36764
my girlfriend saw it multiple times as a 6 year old

>>36764
I saw (at least part of) it when I was like three or four. That's too young to really remember it, but my parent said I was really scared of it.

I used to watch Roger Ebert's reviews as a kid, but after the comment he made about video games, I didn't watch him again and part of me is still miffed about that.

>>36774
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. The kids trapped with the raptors was fucking scary at that age but that scene was and while always be a memorable moment.

Star Trek is on Netflix. Is it good? My only experience with the series is cartoon parodies and the 2009 reboot.
