I want to watch a Post-Apocalyptic movie that is somewhere along the lines of being grimdark, ruthless, brutal, & not as cliché’d as more sensationalized takes on the Post-Apocalyptic genre.

I can have fun watching films like Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Day of The Dead, etc., but those movies are considerably more Action or Splatter-oriented takes on the Post-Apocalyptic setting due to the inclusion of epic fight scenes or macabre themes to activate the dopamine senses.

Threads though is a special film for just how not-fun it is.

It feels weirdly cathartic watching something so ruthlessly unfiltered in it’s blunt display of tragic devastation, so sadistic & psychologically visceral, leaving you feeling empty in the chest after watching something so vile but believable, and so depressing without coming off as pretentious nihilism.

"It's been a real drag. Thanks for nothing" - Dr Robitnic

I could have sworn he used this in either Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty or The Mask. But researching only pops up Sonic 3. Maybe I am getting confused on his facial expression and delivery of another line, or maybe it was from one of his In Living Color characters, but the quote sounds very familiar.

Has he ever said it else where besides Sonic 3? I have not watched any of the Sonic movies, so even if it's in 1 or 2, I've still heard it else where. Thank you.

I stumbled on Of Horses and Men recently, and honestly it blew me away. It's dot this dark, dry sense of humor, a bit of brutal weirdness, and some moments that are straight-up haunting, kind of like if the Coen brothers took a trip to rural Iceland and decided to make a film about people and horses.

Visually, it's stunning. There's something about the way it captures isolation and the weird intimacy between the people and animals that feels super unique. It's not really like The Northman plot-wise, but if you were into the raw, mythic, earthy vibe of that movie, you might really dig this one.

Has anyone else seen it? I feel like it deserves way more love.

It looks like the accountant 2 is doing screenings on April 15th at least in some places. You can see it 10 days early and I just think its clever to drop a preview of it on tax day.

Check your local theaters to see if it's showing there. Its a wild ride that we really enjoyed.

The LA premiere isnt until the 16th, so its a good bit of early access.

Recent comedies I’ve seen have been dull for me, so I’ve been watching some older films. While going through my collection I came across Year One. I only watched it once and don’t remember what I thought of it, but after watching it again (unrated version), I was laughing so much.

Oliver Platt killed it. I couldn’t stop laughing at the oil scene. Jack and Michael were good as the buddy duo. A talented cast delivering it on dialogue and action.

It reminded me of Brooks’ HOTWP1. Ramis’ last film might be a sleeper comedy in the future.

So far, my coworkers and I have peaked at There Will Be Blood, The Purge, Twister, Pacific Rim, 8 Mile, The Departed Nightmare on Elm Street, Pacific Rim, Meet the Browns, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Cliffhanger, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Blow, and more.

I have to hear some of this sub’s most clever suggestions.

What’s a good scary movie for kids that doesn’t have sex/nudity ?? Somethings beyond Coraline but not Friday 13th.. like Drag me to hell, or Silver Bullet! And ya I know most sexual innuendos that’s fine but they wanted to watch Trick or treat and I totally forgot about that scene in the woods 😂 good think I re watched it first to be sure!

It's insane how successful Crocodile Dundee was back in the 80s. 174 million dollars domestically.

I didn't realize Paul Hogan was a comedian or his character was supposed to be funny. I still had a great time watching Crocodile Dundee and I am bitter Linda Koslowzski never got a break outside of Crocodile Dundee. He got the credit yet she's the one who dominated the last act as her character runs for the Train station.

A heartwarming film, personally.

I'm interested in finding documentaries, whether it be on streaming services/channels, or Youtube, specifically about prominent figures in US politics. I want to learn more about their personal lives, background, their policies and how they rose to power and official position.

Period I'm interested in is from 90s onwards to today. People that are on the forefront since the 90s, I'm not only interested in presidents, but their running opponents and overall people from their administration if possible. Thank you everyone for your suggestions in advance.

I’m currently watching The Long Riders (1980) with the dream casting of iconic comedians Christopher Guest, Randy Quaid, Robert (“Nerd”) Carradine, and their siblings. However, the most prominent casting was James Keach playing Jesse James. James Keach, IMO, is a spitting image of legendary silent screen comedian Buster Keaton. Considering that Chaplin was an acting triumph for Robert Downey Jr, because it was a financial disappointment, there were no attempts to make biopics of the other legendary comedians of its era. Now it appears that time has passed.

Who else looks like a famous screen star, and should be front runner for such a project?

Set in the UK(London maybe?) There’s an old man named Morris that has some type of romantic connection with the granddaughter or something of one of his friends who he meets in a cafe regularly. He pays for her tattoo on her (wrist I think) of a snake. Morris came home at one point to find her in bed with a young man (her boyfriend?), Morris freaks out and the young man pushes him over and they run out of Morris’ apartment. The girl feels bad and comes back to take care of Morris. I remember that she flashes him her tits when he’s on the toilet at one point because it seemed like he was slowly dying and she wanted him to liven up I guess. In the end he wants to see the ocean so she takes him on the train and he ends up dying at the beach while sitting against one of those walls in the water that break up the waves so the beach doesn’t get swept away so quickly over time

im not doing good what the hell do you mean tangerine died thinking lemon died as well WHAT THE HELL. i cried so much both times, this movie was like a rollercoaster just things upon things upon things happening. it honestly agonised me. and i did think tangerine was going to get revenge and then maybe die alongside lemon, because they were all they had, they were twins. but lemon ended up sealing it. just wondering where the hell tangerines body is now after all that

Watched this last night, and really enjoyed it on multiple levels.

First of all, in a supporting role, Mr Murray really showed me why he's one of my favorite actors of all time. He just brought such presence to every scene, even when doing so quietly.

Secondly I felt like the story really unwound itself naturally from the knot first presented in a way that kept me engaged, even during the slower moments. There was nothing really forced. It just became clear.

Mrs Watts was just brilliant to me. So believable and comfortable in her very uncomfortable role. I could feel myself falling in love with her as the movie played, and missing my ex love, who was my muse, so terribly.

The dynamic between Ms Pidgeon's role, Iris, and Walter was very interesting to me. Like a quasi family, but not really.

And Bing, as Apollo. Wow! I am not a dog person, or animal person in general, but I felt myself wishing for an experience like this, to have such a powerful and beautiful soul thrust upon me in this way, and feeling that it would be an experience worth the complete disruption it would ultimately bring.

There were things in the movie I wished could have been different. It felt like such a girl story, except for the natural masculinity of Bing and Murray. It had a lot of layers. Too many maybe? I can't really say.

I do want to watch it again though. So there's that anyway.

I would probably say the underdevelopment of Luigi because him and Mario were separated for most of the movie and it really only showed Luigi running from Bowsers minions and getting captured until Mario rescued him. Than all of a sudden he know's how to use the Star Power even though he had no prior knowledge of any of the power ups in the movie.

Ben whitehead did really a good cracking job voicing wallace in the 2024 aardman netflix movie "Wallace & gromit vengeance most fowl", as he was able to do a very identical imitation to peter salis (Rip), and exactly with the same way wallace talks, he easily fills the big shoes and he is a really good successor to peter salis as wallace voice actor.

Because sadly peter salis passed away in 2017 after retiring in 2010, with the last time he voiced wallace was in the 2008 short film "matter of loaf and death".

But ben whitehead managed to do him jeastice by nailing wallace voice and the way he is speaking perfectly.

I didn't even realise it wasn't the same voice actor when i watched the movie for the first time.

So what are your oppinions on him as wallace?

the entire time I felt like I was watching one of those ultra low budget ripoff movies. I thought Statham and Harbour would command a little higher quality than this. The dialog was awful. The plot was extremely basic. The cinematography was a mess. There's a random biker gang leader sitting in a throne of chrome bike exhausts with a chrome skull headrest. I get it's just a movie for Statham to beat people up, but I really thought these were better. They used to be better, right?

A few years ago I went to the re-release of Jurassic Park in theaters, and this year I went to the IMAX showing of Interstellar. I’d only seen both movies at home and they were dramatically better in theaters. What are movies that you’ve seen in theaters and at home that were much better in theaters? Or movies that you’ve seen haven’t seen in theaters that you think would be better?

Mine is my favorite movie of all time, The Dark Knight, it’s re-releasing this summer and I think the soundtrack would be otherworldly in the cinema

Sometimes their is scene in a movie that is so well made that even surpasses the quality of entire movie.

An example recently mention was:

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End

Where the Endeavor gets completely shredded by cannonballs with Beckett slowly walking down the steps.

Another one i think about is, Sunshine, when they are racing against the sun.

Incredibles, where their plane is attacked. I believe their was a lot of rewrites to make this scene, even removing the original pilot.

The iron giant, Superman

Sometimes it's the score from a scene that enhances it, like in

The good , the bad and the ugly

Maybe it was just an actor and s(he) made the scene amazing. The fifth Element, Chris Tucker, playing Rudy

Its got to be scenes and better if they are not as well known. Pacific Rim, where the smow if falling and the little girl was running was amazing on imax.

V for vendetta doesn't count because every scene in the entire movie is good.
