The grinch movie is so bad

 

I love it lol

 

It’s so fucked up

 

man i remember seeing the live action Grinch in theaters when i was like 6, but it does not hold up whatsoever

 

I didn’t like Hook as a kid also for the reason that I thought I was seeing a Peter Pan movie and he wasn’t in it. Haven’t revisited it since though

 

The live action Grinch is fucking amazing, it's so fucking weird

 

100 minutes of Dutch angles lol

 

I haven't seen the live action Grinch in a while but I did recently pick up four Pretty Reckless cds without listening to them beforehand lolol

 

Grimace are you going to be green for Christmas?

 

Hook is a triumph of art direction and costume design and not much else. Honestly one of only...two or three misses in Spielberg's whole career for me (I love Always and have a soft spot for 1941, too).

The Jim Carrey Grinch is really fucking funny, imo. Ron Howard's direction is totally garish and sometimes outright bizarre but it doesn't stop the jokes from landing. We quote it a ton in my family.

 

I have never done a run of Spielberg's full filmography but I really doubt the others are worse than The Terminal.

 

Neither are good, but I'd watch the Terminal again before Indiana Jones 4. I never saw Ready Player One but I think that one is supposed to be pretty bad too.

 

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies - 6/ 10.

Not really much to say about it besides it was just okay. The ending was a decent twist, but I found it less creative / funny / scary than I expected. Also took me a while to adjust to the 'shaky' cam. Probably would have given me motion sickness in the theater.

 

RPO was easily one of the most disappointing movie experiences of my life, which says a lot because it somehow slightly exceeded the super low expectations i had going into it?

 

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't that bad. The biggest thing going against it was that we accepted a lot of the stuff in the original trilogy as children and then watched Crystal Skull as adults.

 

i have a friend who swears by KOTCS being the best and most sincere in its intentions of them all, which is a BOLD take. i at least remember having a half-decent time seeing it in theaters, although it's my least favorite of the ones i've seen (haven't gotten to Dial of Destiny yet).

 

It's a fun movie. The greaser stuff is charming. Blanchett is a fun villain.

Indiana Jones was always a b-movie.

 

Blanchett was the best part of it for sure.

 

Spielberg top ten:

1. Jaws
2. Schindler's List
3. Jurassic Park
4. The Fabelmans
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
7. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
8. Catch Me if You Can
9. Bridge of Spies
10. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

I haven't seen E.T. since I was very little and I need to see Minority Report again.

 

I spend a lot of time criticizing blockbusters, and for good reason, but when you see what people like Spielberg and Cameron can do with a ton of money there is no reason to settle for the rest. The fear of when the shark launches onto the boat, the magnitude of seeing the t-rex standing in the opening and roaring, the tank coming up behind the soldiers and crashing down beneath them, but also those small moments like the look in his fathers' eyes in the Fabelmans when he realizes he is losing his wife or the feeling like you are getting away with it too when the kid gets past Hanks again in Catch Me if You Can. He decided to make one of the most exciting and beautiful musicals ever well into his seventies with no experience in the genre. It is going to be sad when he is gone.

 

1. E.T.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Close Encounters
4. Jurassic Park
5. Temple of Doom

Fablemans, Jaws, War of the Worlds, and The Lost World would be in my top 10 from him. I'm in the middle of Duel right now.

 

One of my favorite theater experiences in recent memory was a double feature of Jaws and Jurassic Park at a drive in theater during COVID. I didn’t think I’d be awake for all of it because it didn’t start screening until like 8 or 9pm, but both are such perfect movies that I was fully engaged all the way until after 1pm.

 

you’ll have to wait and see

 

Two theater employees desperately tried to get my mother not to take me and my younger brother to see Saving Private Ryan. That was such an experience.

 

Then what happened?
