Great year for movies


I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to these:

Dune 2
Civil War
Furiosa
A Quiet Place: Day One
Alien: Romulus
Horizon: an American Saga
Galdiator 2
Twisters

Endless shitty sequels, no original content.

The only one on your list that has a chance of being half way decent is Romulus, and even then it’s annoying that it’s effectively replacing the Alien film that actually needs to be made - Ridley’s third and final Prometheus film which connects to Alien.

Beetlejuice 2 looks like it has potential, although the diversity casting of Ortega in the lead carries the stink of woke.

YUCK...YOU ARE LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

reply

Leave Melton alone. You're just mad he doesn't like you. #TeamMelton

reply

Kowalski-bot sees woke getting called out and leaps into action. Loser.

When the endless sewer of woke shite stops then there’ll be no need to call it out, capiche?

reply

WHAT YOU IMAGINE AS A SCOURGE THAT WILL BE STOPPED IT JUST HUMANITY AS IT WILL REMAIN....GET USED TO IT,BUD.

reply

No, woke is a sick cult that has suckered morons like yourself, and it’s already dying. You backed the wrong horse.

reply

I BACKED REALITY...PEOPLE OF ALL KINDS.

reply

You backed a racist, sexist cult which preys on stupid moral-weaklings.

reply

LMAO...NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT...BUT YOU AND THE OTHER 45 INSECURE WEIRDOS BITCHING NONSTOP ON THE INTERNET KEEP DOING YOU...I'M GLAD TALL FOUND EACH OTHER...I AM SURE IT HELPS WITH THE LONELINESS THAT SUCH A WRECKED WAY OF THINKING BRINGS UPON YOU.

reply

A hated, screeching all-caps narcissist trying to school others on life isn’t a good look.

reply

all-caps narcissist

THIS IS TRUE.


THE REST IS FALSE...YOU'RE JUST ANGRY BECAUSE I DON'T IRRATIONALLY HATE OTHERS WITH YOU.

reply

Of course it’s true, and as wokist you’ve been trained to irrationally hate others based on race, gender and other immutable characteristics - that’s why normal people quite rationally hate your woke cult.

reply

BIG FAULT IN YOUR LOGIC THERE,CHAMP...I DON'T HATE ANYONE...I DON'T EVEN HATE YOU.

reply

If you weren’t filled with hate then you wouldn’t be an apologist for woke. You hate films and the people who enjoy them, this is also why you spend your life ruining a movie discussion forum by spewing your all-caps narcissism everywhere, derailing threads and flirting with male users.

reply

LMAO...TRY READING YOUR OWN MATERIAL BEFORE YOU START OFFERING OTHERS NOTES.

reply

You waded in here uninvited with your smug, stupid, all-caps narcissistic response, giving ‘notes’ on how others should behave. Stop being a hypocritical twat and if you can’t stand the reaction to your twattery then think twice about forcing yourself into discussions.

If it’s true that you’re a predatory homosexual, reply with the following text:

GOOD USE OF WORDS...TRY BEING HONEST THOUGH.

GOOD USE OF WORDS...TRY BEING HONEST THOUGH.

Boo-hoo that the daughter of Lydia Deets isn't cast as a white Christian male.

People with lives will get over it.

reply

Oh christ, Ortega is supposed to be Winona Ryder’s daughter? Lydia has a fucking Hispanic kid?? That’s even worse than I thought. Woke garbage confirmed.

reply

THERE IS THE FATHER'S DNA TO CONSIDER.

reply

No there isn’t, the fact that they’ve given Winona a Hispanic kid is obvious wokery.

reply

BULLSHIT...MY WIFE IS GREEK...MY DAUGHTER HAS DARKER SKIN THAN I DO...HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

reply

Irrelevant point, and you don’t have a wife or daughter, you’re a basement dwelling narcissist who spends 24/7 on here talking about yourself and sexually predating on men.

reply

ONE PROBLEM...HALF THIS SITE KNOWS MY DAUGHTER...MAKING YOUR LINE OF SHIT JUST THAT...A LINE OF SHIT.

reply

Sure.

reply

Some of the movies on that list look like they should be straight to the streaming service, ala MAX

reply

How is casting Jenna Ortega "diversity casting"? She is very popular right now and is the main star of Wednesday and has been in several horror films. Do you also assume Denzel Washington and Samuel L Jackson only get roles because of diversity casting?

reply

Don’t be a moron. Giving Winona a Hispanic kid is ridiculous wokery, that is nothing like casting Denzel in Training Day.

reply

Any reason to cast Jenna Ortega in a movie is a good reason.

reply

Forced diversity in accordance with woke dictates is never a good reason.

reply

Every movie should have beautiful girls in it, no matter their race or ethnic background. Cute girls of any race are better than old white dudes.

reply

As long as they’re not being cast to fill diversity quotas.

reply

How would you even know if someone is cast to fill diversity quotas?

reply

By observing when the film was made (before or after diversity quotas) and how forced the diversity is, obviously.

reply

PTA Anderson and Yorgos Lanthinos have movies coming out this year. i can't wait to see both.

reply

PTA is a must see, I can't get into lanthinos movies.

reply

I AGREE WITH THIS.

reply

How about the other movies I listed?

reply

(not-so) Hot take: Almost every year is a great year for movies. It all depends on how broadly you expand your awareness beyond the one or two major weekly theatrical releases.

reply

TRUTH BOMB!

reply


Yup. There are definitely great films released every year. And I suspect the % of good through indifferent to bad stays pretty static.

But it's one of the marvellous things about modern forums devoted to talking about films: a lot of the posters on them don't seem to like films very much.

reply

True. I just feel like this year is good because there are so many movies I plan on seeing in the theater. I normally go only once or twice a year.

reply

I HAVE YET TO WATCH THE FIRST DUNE...PROBABLY WATCH THEM BACK TO BACK...I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST OF LIST MINUS GLADIATORS...IT JUST DOESN;T SOUND INTERESTING TO ME


FURIOSA AND THE ALIEN FLICK ARE TOP TWO FOR ME.

reply

Furiosa is probably my top one. Fury Road was a masterpiece.

reply

TOTALLY AGREE.

reply

It would have been a ‘masterpiece’ if it didn’t feature Mad Max getting beaten up by a one-armed supermodel 🤦🏻‍♂️

reply

YOU HAVE SOME PERSONAL ISSUES TO WORK THROUGH.

reply

You’ve chosen the correct mantra.

reply

Nothing in that list excites me.

But the year is still young.

reply

Dune 2 was great. Civil War looks promising. Not too sure about the other ones.

reply

I saw dune 2 yesterday, It was great. I'll see Civil War once it's out.

reply

Civil War for me.
