Page 23



Completely AI made film. Not the kind of subject matter I care for normally(monsters and demons etc) but i want to see this. Premiers 5/21 at cannes. Hope it does well and pisses off the doomsayers

3000 word prompts on average they said. And i saw 1 million credits, i think thats the same as a token I've seen cael and qntmfred talk about before

Couple things:

1. A24, go ahead and take my money
2. I don't get how they are making this into a movie let alone one that piques my interest so much

Without inflation adjustment, it's kind of a pointless statistic favoring newer films.

I thought Hokum was phenomenal. A few odd choices by some characters, but that’s par for the course for horror.

8.5/10, highly recommend.

Seems like Supergirl is trending to under perform at the box office, and the right will use it as an excuse to say it is because Alcock comments on christian dads. Maybe I'm wrong but I predict it will under perform, but not because the comments she made

Disclosure Day last I saw 90% on RT, not that RT means a shit anymore seems like. One review mentioned first half great, 2nd half kinda gets fumbled a bit but overall Spielberg shows what made him so great

I’m still kinda on the right, and I’ve never heard of what she said….what did she say?

If it underperforms, I’d just blame more superhero fatigue.

Something about how she laughs when she sees a christian dad with 4 kids at the movies or something. Idk the specifics, only that the right seemed to home in on the comments as a rallying cry. Now that I think of it, didn't they kind of complain about Superman being too woke last year, too?

Disclosure day was just ok.

My neighbor phill saw it in theater, said it was "great great movie"- update..he only thinks that cause he views this almost like fact. Texting now about it...my neighbor phill is just out there about some things...

Anyways, first 40 min to an hour had me. 2nd half lost me

I swear the right will say this flop is exactly like how the "woke" snow white actress helped that movie flop by alienating viewers

Blank Check was covering Master and Commander and it had been a maybe for awhile. Finally dove in yesterday and very much enjoyed it.

^^I think it flopped because people just don’t care about superhero movies anymore. There is def. a market out there for good movies in the theater - look at Project Hail Mary. It made fistfulls of money. Toy Story 5 is doing great.

I just don’t think people want to go see superhero movies anymore. I even think Avengers is going to struggle when it comes out.

Gonna watch it soon...89% rotten tomatoes(which doesn't mean much anymore unfortunately)...never had even heard of it til TT posted about it. Seems interesting..."Eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of events due to the malevolent influence of a passing comet."

Spoilers I guess


I enjoyed some parts of supergirl(origin stuff mostly) but wish i cared more for the villian and lobo. Villian was weak and hardly seemed like lobo had any powers. Ton of corny one liners, lot of dumb things to keep plot going etc. Feel like Alcock lady told the kid "don't move" like half the movie lol. The dog is again key to the plot

Man, based on previous page, im glad i haven't read the book bc Project Hail Mary was phenomenal (amaze amaze?) to me. Like I guess I know the beats its hitting but sometimes a magic trick is a great show even if you know the secret.

Loved it.

On Prime btw

The Sheep Detectives was surprisingly solid. Even though I had heard good things, didn’t trust it until I saw for myself. Nothing mind blowing, but just a very pleasant well put together experience

Hey TGL, just curious, why the comment regarding over 40? Is it because those guys seem like superheroes at this point?

It’s like the AC/DC show this past weekend in Charlotte. It’s getting rave reviews and everybody it talking about Angus at 71 and what he’s able to do.


Also, saw Backrooms. I thought it was a solid movie.

because at its core it’s about aging and coming to terms with it

those guys have been in my life since I was 14. it was an unexpected reason to look back on 26 years of growth.

Sounds good. Also probably painful to watch.

Steve-O has had an interesting and redemptive journey through all this. I love hearing him talk about his experiences.

I never watched a single Jackass movie or show, other than accidentally, bc I hate watching people get hurt or do gross things

Don't mind it as much in a fictional movie, but the JA stuff never drew me

I was always cool with them doing stuff to each other, but was kind of turned off by the things that required other people to clean up their messes. Especially when Steve-O walked into a Home Depot type store and used the bathroom in one of the display toilets.

Some poor schmuck had to clean that up.

Unless that happened more than once, that wasn't Steve-O (it was Dave England), and pretty sure it wasn't a Home Depot (I could be wrong here, but I thought it was a local hardware store). But yeah, I didn't care for that kind of skit. But I did enjoy a lot of their antics and look forward to seeing this one.

^^ how do you know they left it for the staff to clean it up?

they have to get everyone to sign a release form to be able to use their face. very likely that the film crew had to clean up after in order to get them to sign a release

Somehow I get the feeling, and it’s just a feeling, that they didn’t set their stunts up ahead of time with the general public. That would have taken away from the “experience”.

Oh and I still get cold chills just thinking about the lambo/tooth skit. OMG why?

Seems like all the review headlines i've seen so far put the odyssey at 4.5/5 or 5 etc...very positive. 96 on RT right now. Only critical thing I've seen so far is that there are no greek gods in the film other than athena.

lol, the answer to "why?" is just because that is Jackass. They constantly try to outdo themselves with ridiculous stuff.

Not their craziest prank but I always laugh when I remember the one with the gigantic mechanical high five hand that swung out of the door frame. That one guy was carrying a tray full of soup and got creamed. Then when everyone is laughing, they are like "Why wouldn't you be suspicious about why we ordered SOUP for lunch???"
