Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Lee]

First flight leaves on 30 mins.

 

[Lee]

Brigsby bear. Good movie!

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I searched high and low (Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool) for a screening of that.

 

[Lee]

It was on the plane. Very charming.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I don't have a plane

 

[Lee]

Ha. It must be on Amazon prime surely.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Amazon Prime, who has the time?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Seth Rollins wasn't on RAW.

Can't wait for Big E and Rusev to be in a segment built around pancakes tonight.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

January

☆☆☆☆☆ Dunkirk and Coco
☆☆☆☆ Ingrid Goes West, Blade of the Immortal, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing and The Greatest Showman

☆ Insidious: The Last Key

200 this year is achievable, right?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Coco made me so emotional you'd have thought it had a Johnny Gargano kick-out in it. I don't think I've been more pleasantly surprised by a film in a long time.

I watched one hour of Baywatch on the plane and my usual paranoia about the plane exploding suddenly seemed like the most desirable thing in the world. How anyone can so poorly copy 21 Jump Street is beyond me.

Seth Rollins wasn't on RAW.

Can't wait for Big E and Rusev to be in a segment built around pancakes tonight.

Crowd, for four hours: "Rusev Day! Rusev Day! Rusev Day!"
WWE: "Wow! Can we have Aiden English sing before AND after Rusev loses to some jabroni?"

 

[Mighty NorCal]

They got 5 stars <3

 

[Uncle Sam]

Deservedly so.

Plane movies:

Totally fine: Atomic Blonde, Logan Lucky

Unexpectedly amazing: Paddington 2

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. Coco &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
2. Paddington 2 &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
3. The Cloverfield Paradox &#9733;

The Cloverfield Paradox is just-- just terrible.

I'm only going to watch children's films from now on.

 

[Lee]

Watch Brigsby bear!

 

[Y 2 Jake]

If I can't be bothered to watch Good Time and Mommy on Netflix the likes of The Cloverfield Paradox will be waiting quite some time.

 

[Mr. TM]

Could not get through the first half an hour of Cloverfield Paradox.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Went to a Japanese film festival. Never again.

&#9734;&#9734;&#9734; Oh Lucy!, Initiation Love and Where I Belong
&#9734;&#9734; The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji, Room For Let, Sing My Life and Confessions of a Murderer
&#9734; The Dark Maidens and MUMON: The Land of Stealth

Longest weekend of my life.

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. Coco &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
2. Phantom Thread &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
3. Paddington 2 &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
4. The Cloverfield Paradox &#9733;

Two hours? PTA's getting soft. I just looked like a weirdo for bringing a duvet. The Master was at least three days long.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Is it senior friendly? If so I'll hold out until it comes on senior screen. You get a free tea and everything.

 

[JGlass]

See, whenever I see a trailer for Phantom Thread I think to myself, "Wow, that looks pretty solid." But then when the weekend rolls around and I'm looking at what movies are out, I have a hard time working up enthusiasm for a movie about an obsessive dress maker.

To answer both your (implicit) questions, yes, it is very senior-friendly.

2. Phantom Thread &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;

4. Black Panther &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;
5. The Cloverfield Paradox &#9733;

The trappings are a lot cooler and it's got some bold themes, but I'm sad to report that Black Panther is another Marvel template film.

In the year after Taika Waititi and James Gunn made some really Taika Waititi and James Gunn movies, was Ryan Coogler handed an Iron Man script with the names crossed out and replaced or did he mean to make this? This is so rote, I almost think it's a political statement.

 

[Lee]

Did you mark up or down cos everyone's black?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Legit got an extra star because everything looks and sounds cool as shit, so up I guess. That third act though. Woof.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I gave it an extra star so as not to appear racist. Got two from me.
