What Did You Watch Today?

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Quest, poor man's version of Bloodsport.

[TKz]

It might be the saltlyness that comes from hearing bad things about things you like, but I couldn't agree less. I've always found Hannibal way hammier than Silence. Whilst I like Mads, there's no topping Hopkins.

[Kaney]

Yeah Silence of the Lambs is fantastic. Hopkins has a presence for sure. The sequels suck but on its own it's really good at building up the tension.

[GA!]

Selma and Boyhood are both wonderful films.

[Benji]

Don't get all the hate for Alien Resurrection. It's not nearly as good as Alien and Aliens, and has some ridiculous scenes, but it's better than Alien 3. Not enough tension, but that...

... underwater scene where they swim into the Alien hive trap...

... was great. Some of the crew also seems to be an early draft version of the Firefly crew, which was a pleasant suprise.

Could do without the ridiculous epilepsy lights constantly though.

[TKz]

Man, Benji's journey through film is all sorts of crazy.

Disliking Predator and liking Alien Resurrection better than Alien3?

HE'S DROPPING PIPE BOMBS MAGGLE, I LOVE IT!

[Benji]

I didn't dislike Predator, it just wasn't as good as I expected.

To be honest, most of the opinions I've posted are based on their reputations, it's probably why my Silence post probably comes off as bad too. I actually liked it, I just found myself preferring Hannibal, and I've never been a fan of Hopkins.

[Monkey D. Lars]

To Kill With Intrigue (1977), the most confusing Jackie Chan film out there. Also every men in this movie has long hair....

[Benji]

The Frighteners was pretty fun. Felt very eighties for a film made in 1996.

[Arjen Robben]

Oh man, the guy in that film used to really freak me out when I saw that when I was younger, still does a bit, think it's Gary Busey's son.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Into the Woods. Didn't care for it. Only saw it to get into my girlfriend's good books after fighting earlier this week.

[Benji]

Planes was just bad. Same tired story, dull characters, and just generally begging the question - how did the worst Pixar film manage to get two sequels? I mean, the first and second were okay, but nothing that earned a sequel, let alone a spin off.

[stokeriño]

Because it's easy, appeals to kids and makes money. I mean, duh.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is merely one more Western added to my list of "yeah okay it's kind of good but not enough for 2.5 hours" viewings.

Not that it matters much, but I don't think Planes was a Pixar film.

[Benjamin]

Boo you, Stoke. That movie is glorious. Best bath scene in a Western, too

True. The Planes spinoff is DisneyToon Studios.

And "Best bath scene in a Western" shouldn't even be a thing.

[Colly]

I feel like I say this every week, but Alien 3 is brilliant.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Babadook is amazing.

[Benjamin]

Wild is absolutely fucking outstanding. Reese Witherspoon is wonderful in it.

[GA!]

I feel like I say this every week, but Alien 3 is brilliant.

The only major problem with Alien 3 is that it's not Alien or Aliens. It's a cromulent film on its own.
