What Did You Watch Today? 2021

[Josh]

Yeah, The Harder They Fall is fucking fantastic. That’s a cool ass movie.

[Benjamin]

One of my favorite movies this year, and honestly, might be the only good 2021 movie release from Netflix I've seen this year.

Watched Red Notice, Army of Thieves and Jungle Cruise the past three days. All three were awful.

I'm going to watch Passing tonight, though, really looking forward to that one. 

[Benjamin]

Passing was pretty good, it definitely made me want to read the novel it's based on more than anything else.

I also saw Tick, Tick... Boom! and of course I'd bloody love a musical.

Watched Kate on Netflix a few weeks ago and it was pretty rad, really enjoyed it

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is pretty badass

I haven't seen Army of Thieves yet, but since its an Army of the Dead prequel, I wouldn't be surprised if you were right.

Watched Jungle Cruise a few days ago. It was alright, but not great.

Just finished watching Red Notice a few minutes ago. Did not see the big twist near the end coming.

I thought Jungle Cruise was fine, nothing amazing.

King Richard was excellent. Really enjoyed it, even teared up a bit. Will Smith is getting all the love, and deservedly so, but the entire cast was great.

One thing about Jungle Cruise? I only want a sequel if 

Spoiler

They call it "The Further Adventures of Skippy & Pants".

Incidentally, I watched Clifford The Big Red Dog the day before Jungle Cruise, and it took me almost half an hour of watching JC to realize the actor playing the uncle in the former was the same one playing the brother in the latter. Because I don't think I've ever seen anything else he's done, offhand.

The Harder They Fall was fine, definitely too long and definitely more style than substance. But was fine.

Has anyone watched Ghostbusters Afterlife yet? I’ve seen people say they cried watching it

[Dang117]

Started The Witcher. Henry Cavill is perfect as Geralt. Really enjoyed it so far only on episode 2 but has Neen a good watch so far

[The Kraig]

Dumbo. Not as traumatic as I remember!

[Dang117]

Finished The Witcher Season 1, really enjoyed it and excited for season 2.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Last Night in Soho was really good, artistically gorgeous, the design work of the whole film is beautiful.

I've never seen RENT, or knew who Jonathan Larson was beforehand, but I really enjoyed Tick Tick Boom! for what it was.

Been getting back into Indian films lately. A bunch of friends and I shared Singham with another friend who hadn't yet seen it. Watched K.G.F. Chapter 1 today, and it's pretty darn epic. Afterwards, it dawned on me that Bollywood (or just the larger film landscape of India) have done a much better job of adapting to the world-building, interconnected zeitgeist of Marvel than American studio rivals have. Of course, they have also had several decades of practice at producing big, four corner, tentpole films.

[Krabby]

Watched Little Women (the newer one) last night and it was really very good. Timmy Chalamet was eh, just fine, Saoirse Ronan was very good as was Florence Pugh; Emma Watson was good in support as well.

[Jimmy]

Thanks to the lockdown I'm on for having watched a film a day for the first time in my life. 

This year has been insane for new releases, this week's cinema trip saw me bawling my eyes out to Mike Mills' Cmon Cmon, which is such a stunning and beautiful movie that totally caught me off guard. Also really dug Jane Campion's Power of the Dog, which has really stuck with me, it's a film I think about more and more every day. 

[Benjamin]

Maybe I shouldn't, but man, I fucking loved the West Side Story remake. Had the time of my life in the cinema. 

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Yeah, I thought it was really great. Can't believe Riff was played by a time travelling John Mulaney though.

Watched it today and thought it was incredible. Yes, there were tears.

[Benjamin]

Put on Klaus randomly at lunch today and bawled my eyes out. I don’t even know why the movie got to me! It’s really good!

Spoiler

It’s also the second Christmas movie I’ve watched which involves the death of Santa, for some reason.
