I figured he did that as the thunder kept on rolling in

• The Goonies - it has some back and forth audio clarity issues and even a few frame rate skips. It’s like it was edited in a rush, but Sean Astin lovingly refers to it as “a big home video”
• Blade Runner - I always felt it was wrong to have Deckard to pretty much force himself on Rachel. Especially with the whole ambiguity around his character
• Real Genius - still a wonderful 80’s comedy that has aged mostly well save for the random “brain chaser” lady. She had 3 very brief scenes for what felt like was supposed to be a bigger (and still weird) subplot
• Batman Begins - just a little too much frenetic editing during some of the action scenes (Batman vs ninjas in Gotham, batmobile chase)
• any use of the Wilhelm Scream in the LOTR movies

I fucking love these movies with all my heart, but I know better than to pretend flaws don’t exist

William Atherton was the king of 80’s movie asshole. From the recklessly spitefull by-the-book Walter peck, to the pompous professor Jerry Hathaway, and finally the arrogantly nosy Richard Thornburg. He fucking nailed it all.

I can’t think of many wonderful movie assholes in comedy as great as those Atherton 3 characters. Maybe Shooter McGavin and all the Tannen variants(?)

that one blew the movie lid off for me when I was around 6. It had it all, action scenes, depressing scenes, scary scenes, catharsis, adventure, etc. Shame the sequels never captured the magic, or the quality, of the original.

and most of all big news is posted by a single user. Anytime anyone expresses skepticism in that user’s posts, mods delete the comments. And when said user is mentioned by name in a complaint, people get banned. A post on r/movies talked about the issue and the user got banned and a warning from reddit admins

Just go to any entertainment sub, sort by top weekly and you’ll see that user responsible for more than half

“somebody had fun…”

took me a minute to figure this one out

I do get how Mario speaking the whole movie like Martinet would not work as well as it does in the games (since he rarely speaks anyway), but Pratt's just been on acting-cruise-control the past few years and SMBs doesn't seem to be an exception. Hell, if he wasn't already (and wonderfully) voicing Bowser, Jack Black would have been perfect as Mario

Pratt may be an uninspired casting choice (especially since he acts on cruise control these days), but having Martinet voice the character with anything other than reactionary/catchphrase stuff, it will just be comically bad. It'd be like that Seth McFarlane sketch

IM3 even has the Die Hard teddy bear in it, it’s when the Miguel Ferrer is revealed to be a traitor and he greets a kid who as the bear on her lap

I've always chuckled at how Marty's first concern for his future self is he's an asshole

I always took it as intentionally ambiguous, "will he make the same mistakes or know better this time?"

Christine (2016) I knew of the real tragedy of Christine Chubbuck's final days, but the tension in that movie's final act was something else. Rebecca Hall gave such a powerful, haunting performance that was just gut-wrenching by the end. She deserves so much more praise

EDIT: grammar

• Tommy Boy, when he gives that speech to all the Callahan workers and is then on the boat talking to us dad as if he were there
• Edge of Tomorrow, after all he’s been through, he can’t help but to just laugh about it
• Real Genius, they got back at their professor, had a bunch of popcorn, all to the tune of Tears For Fears
• The Martian, which just sort of abruptly ends in the book, but the movie gives the story such a wonderful epilogue

Big Lebowski. I either didn’t understand it or felt like I was left out of several inside jokes when I first watched it. It almost left a bad taste in my mouth until a few months later when I had an itch to watch it again. And when I did, everything just clicked

I thought Trevorrow couldn’t possibly make a worse movie until Dominion came out. I mean, he wrote a character that self-procreated and then fucking birthed her own clone in a shitty dinosaur movie about locusts

I just figured he was trying to figure out a way to get her to talk more and open up a bit. At some point (and after several loops), he must’ve figured out she was just making some things up to appease him. But he still digs around and gets an occasional nugget of truth and keeps trying to get more

he and Kevin Hart were hilarious in the sequels and they got to use their comedy chops to great effect. Hell, everyone did, including Gillan and especially Black

I know it seems so petty of me to complain, but it does cause some problems. I’ve seen users post trailers, articles, posters etc only for it to be taken down and reposted by that one guy. There are a few other people that have lots of karma and always post but they always engage with other users and partake in the discussion.

I’m not saying anyone that posts should comment, because what I really want to say is that the one guy is just astroturfing

pay attention to how most of these accounts posting are no more than 2 years old yet they rack up thousands of karma and comment so little. OP does not seem to be a bot or paid poster, but it is a huge problem in r/movies.

There’s one user who has a 2 year old account but has over 7 million karma. When suspicions arise, he’ll occasionally say “oh, I just really love movies”. But he’s the one posting 90% of everything on the entertainment subs and yet he never ever comments more than a synopsis or article quote. Never gives an opinion, replies to a comment, doesn’t partake in discussions, nothing. Only time he does reply to someone is to clarify or add more news. How is that guy not doing that as a fucking job?

EDIT: grammar

EDIT 2: I honestly wouldn’t mind so much but I’ve seen other users post articles and such that get taken down right away but only for that one guy to post it himself

in my head canon, everyone survives Miracle Mile and the 2 leads are happily married, just like Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham. No, really

Garrett Hedlund was great in that, I hadn’t recognized him at all until I saw his name in the credits. He should play more villains

and while it’s not political (nor a movie) 30 Rock always satirized the subject so well

I still giggle when he begs Cage to put the wooden chair down in the middle of trying to kill him

how is the second season? I have yet to see it
