General Movie Thread 2022

Tress MacNeille (original voice of Gadget) is listed in the cast, so I kinda wonder if maybe she'll be reprising the role. 

[GoGo Yubari]

Tress can pretty much still do her old character voices so I can see that. That trailer has some jokes that I think are pretty funny but on the whole it feels a bit like empty calories, meta for meta's sake, and the fact that John Mulaney can pretty much only play himself doesn't really help.

Death on the Nile was better than I thought it would be even if it was filled with some overacting from the likes of Branagh, Gadot and Hammer.

Uncharted was a perfectly fine action flick.

How would you compare it to Orient Express?  I thought that movie went way too far in "look at how quirky Hercule is!"

It does the same thing in this one but like I kind of love it so I might not be the best judge of that.

I always found the whole point of Hercule Poirot was to be OTT and quirky.

Death on the Nile wasn’t bad, the whole melodramatic acting is essential to movies like this, isn’t it?

My kids were away Saturday and Sunday night, so we watched two movies.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople: what a fun movie. It definitely was structuring itself as an action movie, sacrificing plot for character growth and moment to moment satisfaction. It was a great turn your mind off and enjoy movie.

Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar: what a shame this movie did not get more attention. A perfect movie, in my opinion. It mixes the best parts of a Wes Anderson movie and SNL comedies like Austin Powers and Wayne's World. So absurd. Don't watch a trailer or get any spoilers: go in blind like I did.

Yeah I wouldn't watch a Hercule Poirot murder mystery unless everything was just a tad hammed up.

You're dealing with something serious (murder) but the drama isn't supposed to be too sincere or serious since at the end it's about the mystery, not the murder.

For people who say "RedLetterMedia just hates everything", the Mike and Jay Talk About...series, as well as their Re:View series, are when the RLM guys just sit down and talk about movies or streaming series they love

Looks great!

Tubi has Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies. Is this the kind of terrible I want to see or just cringe? Or boring?

Shane Douglas is the main character. And all I really remember from it is that the whole reason they have to fight zombies is because a man was murdered by piledriver.

I finally watched the new James Bond movie. It was super enjoyable but...

 

Spoiler

They killed off James Bond?!? So is the franchise just done then? Like if you have seen the movie there is no coming back from that one

Okay so fuck that.

According to his son, William Hurt has passed away.

[Colly]

This is an incredibly lame "old man confused by modern things" question, but Spiderman NWH is out on streaming now but not out physically til early April. Does anywhere do like a combination, or a pre order thing so I could watch it now and get the Blu Ray still?

Or am I just being a Luddite and should I just get it digitally anyway?

[theshadow]

Usually Sky Store offer Digital and DVD/Blu-ray deals

Edit 

Had a look and you can get it digitally and Blu-ray as a package for £17.99 there.

Finally saw the French Dispatch. I liked it, but it’s definitely not up there with some of my favourite Wes Anderson films.

[tristy]

Amazon has bought MGM Studios for $8 billion.

[Josh]

Fucking Christ. They’re gonna own everything.
