No one has quite called it yet but I know for a fact pachi is super excited about mute. he is the one that reminded us of it. So I am not sure what his plans are but I will at least wait for his response.
Just watched Call Me By Your Name. Wowwwwww. So beautiful. That ending 1-2 punch of
Amazing.the father's monologue and then the engagement and Elio crying by the fireplace
1. Definitely wouldn't work as OT. Too niche for what you are going for. A thread would work.
2. we can definitely make a dedicated sci-fi month here for February. The thing is it needs to be specific. We already have the pick three, and monthly bad movie watch. Oh and can't forget the top 10 to watch in February. What you bring has to stand out amongst though.
3. Shoot your ideas here or through pm and I am sure we can get something ready within the week.

Mulholland Drive
I was so sure I knew what was going on. Until Club Silencio, I thought it was just some abstract treatise on finding yourself in a city of corruption and greed where acting becomes an escape from real life or some shit. Pretty standard but presented in a unique way with some non-sequiters for the sake of doing so.
After that... what the fuck lads. Time travel? Dreams? Alternate realities? What's the deal with the ugly lady? What's the deal with the different Camillas? What's the deal with the fucking terrifying old fuckers?
Who the fuck cares? I kinda loved it anyway.
Oh I hadn't heard that. Yeah I really hope they don't.I know Luca Guadanino is saying he wants to do a sequel but I wish for the movie's sake they don't.
I started a dedicated sci-fi OT in November but it's pretty dead unfortunatelyGuys, with the release of both Altered Carbon and Mute next month, and the overwhelming positive response to Blade Runner 2049, I kind of want to make February a celebration of science-fiction. With that I mean, I don't want the usual "recommend me a great sci-fi movie" or "your favorite sci-fi films?" threads but instead make a seudo-OT that not only lists great sci-fi films, but also directs our community toward written pieces that explain these films plots and go in-depth, so that we can also guide each other and help each other understand these plots and subplots and maybe also create more awareness toward lesser known movies of the genre. This community undoubtedly hold it very dear, and I know as an example that there are numerous great pieces that explores Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival to name a few. We could even link to stuff these films were inspired by like books (ex: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). We could make a header or graphics or a highlight for each movie (not all movies though). Or is this just some dumb and useless idea?
[edit] Never mind, I think it's bad idea, since topics with a general theme most often are forgotten about and ends up inactive.
Just let IceMan do it. Maybe I can write up a smaller "second opinion" or nothing at all if I got no time, cause that's around the time where some changes are gonna happen in my life.No one has quite called it yet but I know for a fact pachi is super excited about mute. he is the one that reminded us of it.

Anyway thanks to midnight cowboy I am now in the mood for for more wender films
This is what I was afraid of, that it would become inactive. It happens all the time with threads that has a general theme. It's a beautiful OT you did there though More_Badass.I started a dedicated sci-fi OT in November but it's pretty dead unfortunately

Rewatched Michael Mann's Heat. (save for that one obvious use of green screen)
Wasn't that his house? Or am I totally misremembering.

shots fired
Early Man (2018) - 6.3/10. I tend to find most of Aardman's animations to be quaint, forgettably harmless little movies and this really isn't much different. I didn't pay too much attention to the advertising but they clearly downplayed the football element to appeal to a broader audience I guess.
The voice acting is fine, it looks nice enough, but the rather broad humour and conventional sports movie formula had me tuning out on occasion. It's also a shame the best moment, involving a cockroach and a pair of sunglasses, happens in the first minute of the film.
It's barely 75 minutes sans credits so at least it won't eat up a ton of your day.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective: This was a good movie, with Jim Carrey just having fun with his role. It's like Sherlock Holmes if he was a total goofball.Then it goes completely transphobic. Yeah, uh, *tugs at collar*
Definitely one of those movies you only watch once and never forget. It's riveting.Beasts of No Nation
What a slap in the face !!! Never heard of that movie, saw a trailer, yeah look interesting. The act 2 of this movie is just insane good and intense, i mean this is the perfect exemple of how a movie don't need to be "historical" or base on real fact to get into. The final act was a little too long for my taste, that movie could have been like 30 minutes shorter, easily... but wow if the story of a children soldier interest you, this is a much watch.
Watched these two over the weekend and sent my reviews over to the FilmEra site Flow has but I will share a little here.
Invasion of Astro-Monster or Godzilla vs Monster Zero
This was a pretty cool entry in the Godzilla series. Basically Godzila, Mothra, and Ghidorah end up under alien control and start wreaking havoc on Earth. Overall it was a fun watch.
The Fall
How the hell isn't this more known? The guy that directed the Cell directed this and funded a large part of it to make his dream but for some reason it wasn't promoted very well or at all by the studio and got buried. If you've never heard of this and want to see a visual spectacle, watch it.
I agree with this.Man, Mudbound gets dark, I wasn't expecting that
I found that Mudbound felt kind of disjointed in the first act, but once the various plots came together and we get to follow Jamie and Ronsel's friendship, the movie finds its pace and footing and really comes together as an effective and powerful drama.
I always thought this scene was funny cause Edie goes into her whole ancestry and where her family is from and super in depth. And when she turns to Deniro to ask where he's from he's just like "Bay Area"
Best (worst?) part of this is that they actually shot this entire scene on location but green screened the backdrop so they could get that sparkling iridescent algae look by slowing it down to a super low framerate.
Mann's a weird dude sometimes.
Amazing! and I have you and Iceman down for reviews next month.Watched these two over the weekend and sent my reviews over to the FilmEra site Flow has but I will share a little here.

The Fall is excellent, good to hear you've watched it! And for how forgettable his next movie was overall, Immortals has some incredible visual flair that a lot of action movies are missing.
