What Did You Watch Today?

Sully (2016), Aaron Eckhart's mustache owns here. It's the greatest ever. But damn Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever right?

[Kaney]

It is a pretty fantastic moustache.

I've been watching a lot of the back half of Season 2 Chuck. The entirety of this season - but especially the last half of the season - is still probably my favorite portion of television ever.

The Assassin is a very good film!

I saw that film but I couldn't get past the moustaches. Oscar worthy performance from Eckhart's and surely a best supporting moustache for Hanks, right?

I'll echo the love for Moana that was a good one.  Great music.

[Colly]

Midnight Special was a bit shit. Generic sci-fi plot, lots of silences and a naff ending. Good cast completely wasted too since they had nothing to do bar look miserable. I'm sure some of the ambiguity was to "make me think", but all it made me think was that if this was an 42 minute X-Files episode there might have been some characterisation...

In preparation for a live comedic reading of it next Tuesday, I watched Love Actually last night.

I had heard it was problematic, but Jebus. So many good ingredients too!

[Jimmy]

Love Actually is so of its time and I absolutely love it for it -- I think it's the kind of film that, if you didn't watch it when it came out, it's not exactly an easy film to like quite as much. It's obviously a bit shit and cliche, but it's always on at Christmas and is still somehow kind of great. 

[Benjamin]

Love Actually is bloody awesome. Not liking it is the same as not having a soul

So, I saw Tom Ford's second effort Nocturnal Animals last night and I am very mixed about it. The subplot in the movie (that eventually takes over most of the movie) is far more interesting and engaging than the "present" story being told. I get what Ford was trying to do with it, but I don't think it works entirely. I had a good time because I could honestly watch that subplot as the movie itself and I'd very much enjoy it.

Moonlight was phenomenal. One of the first movies to blow my mind in a while.

Swiss Army Man (2016), Paul Dano and Radcliffe rock this film. It's weird, it's moving, it's utterly brilliant. Daniel Radcliffe, best corpse ever.

I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes.

*FrrrrrrppppttttttttttttFRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTT*

Oscar worthy.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I'm not saying it's Oscar worthy. I just loved it and not the farts. 

"If you don't know Jurassic Park, you don't know shit."

"Before the Internet every girl was a lot more special."

"If my best friend hides his farts from me then what else is he hiding from me, and why does that make me feel so alone?"

"But maybe everyone's a little bit ugly. Yeah, maybe we're all just ugly, dying sacks of shit and maybe all it'll take is one person to just be okay with that."

 

How quotable is this? right?

THE DARKNESS

The trailer made it look far better than it was, its slow and boring in parts, and it *might* scare a 10 year old, but that's about it. Kevin Bacon must have needed the money or owed someone a favor.

[Schlitzbrille]

TV-wise, y'all Donators know my love of Designated Survivor. Just caught up to the mid-season break and is the break over already?

Movie? Uh...in full, I'd have to go with Twister. I spent most of the film silently cursing the near-constant stream of scientific inaccuracy, a thread I intend to explore further if I ever get my movie watchthrough project off the ground. I really don't watch as many movies as I should.

Manchester By The Sea was a little long but really amazing.
