Blame the Stone Cutters if you disagree with the Oscars, they rig every Oscar night.

A Knight's Tale is 20 years old today. I'd genuinely say it's one of my favourite films ever.

"Hey Jeepers Creepers is trending on Twitter"
*bunch of tweets about the movie*
"Reminder, the director is a sick disgusting pig!"

So I looked it up and it's way worse than I thought. Child molestation convictions and shit. Jesus Christ.

This looks awesome. I can't wait

Yea, I used to enjoy those movies...then I found out about the child molestation

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead got a solid B from AVClub. 

Quote

 It’s at once his Aliens, his Ocean’s Eleven, and his Wild Bunch. One might call it his Suicide Squad, too, if that didn’t imply that the Man Of Steel director were still navigating a thunderously grim superhero universe of his own design, when he has in fact left it behind for one arguably just as indebted to the graphic component of graphic novels, just with a smaller helping of heavy-handed handwringing. This is a new kind of Snyder cut: fleet and almost breezy, even at a characteristically extended 2 1/2 hours.

 

Quote

In a way, this B-movie on an A budget gets closer to the values of George Romero, the godfather of zombie cinema, than Snyder’s actual, hyper-adrenalized remake of Romero’s masterpiece.

Sad thing is, some of that was known before they made the second movie. Really ramps up the creep/eewwww factor on the underwear smelling scene in the first one, huh?

[livid]

The cast for this one is shaping up to be just as impressive as the first! She joins Craig, Bautista, Ed Norton and Janelle Monae so far. 

[Ruki]

Never heard of'em. But this looks good!

I watched that first 15 minutes clip of Army of the Dead. My one complaint is that it's got the same problem a lot of Zack Snyder films have, in that it's lit dark as fuck. I kept having to squint to try and figure out what's going on in some bits, especially in the first 5 minutes or so.

Other than that, the first 15 minutes basically tell the story of the zombie outbreak and walling off Vegas. I liked it well enough. Has me suitably interested in seeing the film.

Do you fancy Wizard of Oz? Maybe you prefer Scarface! Just watched the Matrix Trilogy? 

This is the general movie thread for you to discuss everything about movies! Feel free to discuss the latest, greatest and everything else as it pertains to movies .

I just got done with it.  It was good but geez fuck its 2.5 hours long!  Seriously...

Spoiler

The entire side story with Geeta could've been cut and nothing would've been lost.  The fact that she dies off screen and is never mentioned again even confirms this

 

[Hellraiser]

So John Wick director Chad Stahelski will direct a Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill. I'm cautiously optimistic about this.

Why did my brain think that you said a Zoolander reboot.

[livid]

Well this certainly looks like something!

 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Love the look of the cast for that, and Edgar Wright is brilliant, I'm on board.

That is not great news. Because Jeff Bezos, basically.
