I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Dirty Grandpa.

It's much funnier than it has a right to be. Also, Aubrey Plaza really, really wanted to fuck Robert De Niro, and fought to get the role for that reason. Its ending sex scene is one of the most genuine in Hollywood because of that. Of course, Aubrey Plaza makes things better just by showing up.

Critics who hate it need to lighten up.

Dude I fuckkkkking Loved Titan AE. Such a good movie for its time when adult cartoons weren’t everywhere. Cartoons at the time were all hand hold-y and made for kids; it was such a breath of fresh air.

Stay

Massively underrated film imo.

I will stand by Pauly Shore's Pinocchio as pure art, but I can't promise that I've ever seen it sober, or that I've sat through the entire thing (I may have?).

I also enjoyed Wonka which has decent ratings but I've always heard people talking shit on it.

I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations... but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. "Sorry Boston but... you really ate shit this year..."

Ted Lasso is just Major League, but fútbol.

Make it that they'll move the team to Las Vegas. It's real, it's scary, it's believable

Breakfast of Champions - I don't care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.

Mystery Men - Again, I don't care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.

Titan AE

The female version of Ghostbusters.

Zardoz.

Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.

The girl ghost busters was rated pretty good though, wasn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I do love hackers.
