Post movies you have watched recently and/or favorite movies. I've recently watched and enjoyed pic related which surprised me considering I hate found footage films with a passion.
Also, the idea for this thread came from:

>>2133It's impressive how these dumbasses don't realize that this is the type of shit that creates mass shooters. The movie wouldn't cause shit on its own.
No.2135
Really liked seeing The Wicker Man and The Blob, Blob had some great body horror (and a name inspired by fatliz). Haunt was mediocre but I probably enjoyed it more than most. The ending is very similar to how
The Collection ends and generally I love
Escape room inspired horror flicks a lot.
>>2134It was just someone placing it there as a joke, sadly I think the armed guards and sedating drugs in the popcorn kept any accidents from happening.

Boomers are absolutely fucking incompetent when it comes to complex gray areas that require half a brain to understand and arent black and white. Rather its more convenient just to lump up any and all undesirables to turn them into invisible boogeymen.

>>2136I wonder how we'd benefit from a mass shooter that was insanely against virgins. He'd have to be incredibly successful in both his shooting and his communication of his anti-virgin message. Just a thought you glowniggers.

No.2141
Screamers had some really good premises/locations with dialogue that made me drop the rating to a 5/10. It was trying to hard to be a
sappy love story when it should have been a horror flick through and through.
>>2140It wouldn't be reported on tv or anything too popular unless he was also against female virgins.

Ok so since everybody won't shut the fuck up about it, I fell for the meme and just got home from seeing Joker (2019) for myself. Not even gonna bother spoilering ahead either, so if you decide to read on, it's at your own risk. Here goes:
>The Good
Honestly I was curious how they would explain a whole "origin story" movie about The Joker without ruining the mystery behind the character, while at the same time bridging the same character to the now-quintessential The-Dark-Knight Joker. Surprisingly they pull it off in my opinion, it all kind of fits together in a sorta plausible order, so props to the writing. In addition, I would say that Joaquin Phoenix's performance stole the show and while still not reaching Heath Ledger-tier, he is definitely miles ahead above Jared Leto in terms of seriousness.
>The Bad
First let me make a distinction between "plot" and "writing," in that if "plot" is the direction of the arrow, "writing" is the strength and quality of the marksman and bow. The writing may have been good, but the plot is literally just "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY," unironically. That's what I got from it, I mean if people just lived like they were in a society and didn't constantly bully and harass loners like Arthur Fleck for no reason, or actually provided him the help/medication he needed, then he simply would not have rightfully lost his shit when Wall Street punks picked on him which started everything.
No.2151
>>21502/2
>The UglyThe film reminded me just how much of a shithole NYC is after I've purged my memory of it from my last visit. Not gonna lie, I live in a fairly big city myself but NYC is too much. I know it's supposed to be """Gotham""" but still.
>VerdictI would actually recommend lizards to watch it not for the film, but to see how warmies react to the film: Many warmies are disgusted by Arthur Fleck as a person before he became The Joker, but for me how he lived and his experiences just made sense. Many people live like Arthur Fleck their whole lives without ever becoming The Joker, just taking the bullying and harassment until they either an hero or accept the cruel society we live in towards expiration. The film reminds warmies of this truth, which may prompt some of them to bully and harass the Arthur Flecks of the world even more since now they're afraid of them becoming Jokers – such is irony in a clown world.
8.5/10, worth watching once-tier, pretty good for technically capeshit.
No.2152
>>2151Is it the type of movie that's good to watch in the theater? Anything with strong visuals I try and watch in the theater but if it's just a normal-looking movie I'll probably watch it whenever it gets to the library.
>I know it's supposed to be """Gotham""" but still.Gotham is literally just New York. Same with Metropolis but they're sort of like the two different ways of looking at New York. At least Marvel is smart enough to cut out all the allegory shit and just set their comics in New York.
>may prompt some of them to bully and harass the Arthur Flecks of the world even more since now they're afraid of them becoming JokersI always found it funny back in highschool how bullying went up noticeably after a well reported school shooting. I don't think that shootings ever really "inspire" other shootings beyond considering it, but it definitely scares people into causing them. It reminds me of that saying about how you get your destiny by trying to avoid it or something like that.

>>2152>for me how he lived and his experiences just made senseThis is what I keep saying. Normies can't understand the Joker because they have no idea what it's like to be rejected by society. They have no point of reference.
>watching once-tierYou'll begin to appreciate the film more and more as time goes on. It's been that way for me. This past week I've been thinking about Joker non-stop.

No.2169
>>2168>The film was so dumb, gross and trashyRelatable.
I saw it more as a comedic element as after watching every Halloween movie It just seemed like each one was going the scream route of not taking itself seriously, after the trilogy of course. Actually now that I think about it the second one he made was pretty awful. Maybe I just have stockholm syndrome. Why did
the 3 woman survive when he killed
the guy who treated him well in isolation? No.2170
>>2169>Why didI couldn't make it for more then 30 minutes of the first Rob Zombie's Halloween. Just thinking about that film makes my stomachs turn.
And I usually like bad films. It's very unusual for me to not watch a film from start to end.
No.2198
I watched a bunch of mediocre horror films since i've been sick and unable to pay attention to well.
>elm street dream warriors
The best out of the list, cheesy but has some good death scenes and it was interesting seeing multiple characters deal with him at once even though they nearly all die instantly
>in the tall grass
a less interesting Triangle but still kept me interested as I really like films that abuse the plot mechanic it uses. The characters aren't great but that's a cherry on top for horror flicks in my opinion.
From this point on I became masochistic and watched some panned films.
>Assimilate
The best part of this film was the first minute or two.
I think it would have been better as a US copy with more chaos, but then it ditches it and copies a bunch of old horror movies with no innovation.
The ending was hilarious though, as they post a video asking for help, which is clearly private the whole time, then it gets views as they shamelessly setup a possible sequel.
>The silence
Birdbox but even more unmemorable and less interesting.
>American Psycho II
I don't wanna talk about it.
No.2199
>>2198The Silence
I'm surprised I'm not the only Liz that saw that. I personally thought it was pretty awful. No single part of it stands out in particular, but every aspect of it was sub par. It fell into that surreal entertainment limbo for movies that are a three or four out of 10. The kind where they're bad, but in an uninteresting way which somehow makes them less entertaining than objectively awful movies. This movie sits right on that precipice of maximum boredom that comes before movies start to go full circle and become enjoyable again. The Silence is certainly less than the sum of its parts and watching it was probably the worst film experience I've had this year.
No.2202
>>2199I never really regret watching a film, but I know watching it was like casting an hour of my limited perception in this realm into the void. I agree as I can hardly remember anything even though it's just been a week.
>>2191I don't watch many war movies but i'll check these out as I want to get into them at some point, discussing them here would be a plus.
No.2226
>>2225In the 2014 one the view was almost always from a human's perspective which made the monsters look towering and menacing but in King of the Monsters it isn't grounded at all so the camera just zooms around and the monsters end up looking silly in a lot of places. Maybe that's just me though. There were quite a few places that they looked sick but I think it was done better in the 2014 one. Maybe this is all what's expected in a Godzilla movie, I haven't seen a Godzilla movie since I was a kid so I have little memory of them. I might have to rewatch some of them to get an idea of what I should compare these to. That being said I definitely remember the original Mothra, and I'm really glad they redesigned that shit and gave her talons and that sort of thing. She looked like a pussy back in the day.
>body is still too longfuck me
No.2227
>>2226Anyways, the writing wasn't as good and some of the action wasn't as good but I think the soundtrack and sound effects were better in King of the Monsters, I liked the return of the original themes. Although the CGI is technically more impressive the destruction of the cities had less weight to it since there's like seventeen monsters now and they pop up all over the globe whereas the 2014 one only had two "MUTOs" (I do appreciate that King of the Monsters has some of the actual characters). Unfortunately the action scenes are all in the dark but I think it works better in 2014 where that seems like it's intentional. In King of the Monsters they just add a sniny blue filter over it to make it look brighter. A lot of the tension in King of the Monsters is cut off by Marvel-style quips which was retarded, shit like
"oh my god…" "…zilla". I'd say overall, 3/5 for 2014 and 2/5 for King of the Monsters. Both were alright but I think the sequel was dumbed down because of complaints that it wasn't enough like the other Godzilla movies. Although I think that some of its strengths like the soundtrack and the monsters were also caused by those same complaints so what do I know?
No.2228
>>2225I felt ripped off by the 2014 Godzilla. I thought it was going to be a Bryan Cranston film when he was only in the movie for about five minutes. Are you going to watch the 1998 Godzilla
