>Despite the hype and gushing from other movie critics, I found little to like about any of the new movies in theaters this weekend, including the Batman director’s “World War II” movie, which is a politically correct joke.
>* Dunkirk – Rated PG-13: The vast fraternity of mainstream (a/k/a liberal) movie critics is gushing over this, which generally means only one thing: it’s horrible. And that truism is applicable here. I hated this.
>And I think one of the reasons the groupthink critics love this, is that there are no Nazis to see. No swastikas whatsoever. Even though in real life, the Nazis were the ones who pushed British and French soldiers to the beach at Dunkirk during World War II, you wouldn’t know it by watching this slog of a snuff film. Director Christopher Nolan deliberately excluded anything with a hint of Nazi to it because he said he didn’t want to get into “politics” and wanted to make it “universal.” It reminds me of far-left nutjob Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center” (read my review), the 9/11 flick that would have you believe the culprits could be outer space aliens or some other unknown malefactor, as no Muslims are seen as perpetrators in any way, shape or form. This lack of depicting the identity of mortal enemies is despicable. And this movie is, therefore, despicable. I guess we don’t want to offend 1) Germans, 2) all of the Muslims around the world who think Hitler was a great guy and who’ve made Mein Kampf an evergreen best-seller on the Muslim street, and 3) everyone else who hates the West and celebrates those who mass murder Western soldiers. I guess this should be no surprise, given that one of the stars of this is an anti-Semitic Israel-boycotting scumbag.
>On top of that, the movie is a dud. It’s loud, noisy, disjointed, and choppy. And a total bore. Sure, there is lots (and lots and lots and lots more) loud, urgent music throughout (bring your earplugs, as I did). But there is really no story. There are just three sets of actors in three vignettes that have nary a plot to be spoken of. The story of Dunkirk–of Nazis brutally driving Allied soldiers to the beach to pick them off while they were on ships, waiting to board ships, and the like–deserved to be told. But it really wasn’t told here. Instead, we are treated to multiple scenes of bombings of ships, of soldiers brutally drowning. The killing is vivid, way too vivid, and it hits you over the head over and over again–and, as noted previously, without letting you know who is doing the killing. Also, the dialogue hard to understand because the British accents are so heavy, the dialogue so fast and muffled, the music superimposed upon it so loud, and so on, that I needed a British Ebonics translator (and none was offered).
>The aforementioned three vignettes are interspersed with each other. The first is a French soldier and a British one who barely escape the Nazi onslaught in the city and at the beach, they seize a stretcher with a wounded soldier on it, thinking it will get them ahead of the long lines of soldiers waiting to board the ships. But, by doing so, they aren’t escaping disaster, but rather chasing it, as the ships get attacked. Then, there is a British pilot (Tom Hardy) who is trying to stop the German pilots (you’d hardly know they are German because, again, they don’t tell you and the insignia isn’t there). And, finally, there is an older man who owns one of the many private boats commissioned by the British government to cross the English Channel and transport British soldiers from the beach.
>The man is on the ship with his teen son and the son’s friend. It should be noted that the ship owner is played by Mark Rylance, an open Jew-hater who hates Israel, supports the boycott of it, and who–as I noted on this site–had a tantrum prior to the Oscars ceremony a year or so ago, when Israel donated free trips in the goody bags of Oscar nominees and presenter.
>Yes, Rylance is as sh–ty as this movie. As in, very.
>ONE-AND-A-HALF MARXES
>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets – Rated PG-13: This is another big-budget bore. This movie has drawn buzz because it’s the largest budgeted film ever for an “indie” movie, with a budget of $180 million. (For those unfamiliar, an indie movie is one not produced by one of the six biggest studios.) And it’s a disappointment for me because it’s written and directed by someone whose work I usually like, director/producer/writer Luc Besson. This is his pet project that he’s been dreaming of doing for years, and now it is everyone else’s movie nightmare. It’s based on a popular French series of sci-fi, futuristic comic books based on the two lead characters, Valerian and Laureline.
>If you want to see the worst, most laughable, leftie, predictable elements of Avatar, Star Wars (and its sequels/prequels), Sesame Street, and other similar sci-fi movies all slapped together, then this is your movie. For everyone else, it’s unoriginal and derivative and not in an entertaining way. On top of that, stars Dane DeHaan as Valerian and Cara Delevingne as Laureline are stiff, stilted, and have zero chemistry, even though they are supposed to be romantically attracted to each other. None. Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford this is not. Not sure who cast this, but they should be fired.
>The story: the various planets in the universe have banded together to form a colony and work and live together. Valerian and Laureline are crime-fighting astronauts. Valerian has a dream about a planet populated by bald, pale white aliens who wear almost nothing and who power their planet using energy from pearls. But their planet is destroyed by someone who has bombed and blown it up, and the princess gets killed in the process.
It is time for the 3rd weekly MCU UPSETT Thread. It is no doubt that the MCU is one of the greatest initiatives of modern cinema, at least since the 1940's World of Monsters attempt at a CU.

Fuck Christopher Nolan, I can't wait until all movies are streamable Day 1 on Netflix
When I went to see Kong: Skull Island, I ended up sitting next to a middle-aged black couple. Every time something startled them, both husband and wife would go "MM MM!"

That shit would have killed me, I have started to devolve in terms of tolerance. First I stopped taking friends to the movies because they always talk or try to be funny. Now I can't even stand strangers. I'm just going to watch movies at home nowOCD is hell
>>85274694
I'm pretty sure I have OCD, although it's fairly mild. What makes you think your reactions are OCD and not just wanting to be able to focus on the movie you're watching without dealing with obnoxious people?
ITT: movies that /tv/ told you were good so you downloaded them but left them in your backlog for years because you sort of thought /tv/ was memeing you but finally got around to watching them and they're actually really fucking good and now you wish you watched them earlier

What did he mean by this? Not memeing
>>85273767
Dad's don't like their daughter dating because they might be a asshole or knock her up or whatever. He just didn't expect his daughter to be dating the punk superhero messing with his operations.
So reddit it literally hurts.
You're reddit
>>85557637
Are they reddit because they fuck? I don't get it.
>>85558090
I think it's because they tell jokes or something. It's very vague and stupid at this point.

Is it fair to put a digital film and a film shot on 35mm film in the same cinematography category? If shooting on film is harder then why should a digital film get the same award?
>>85273601
Cause a film being harder to make doesn't make it better. No idea where people get this erroneous idea that something being more difficult to produce means it's higher quality.
>>85273601
Why is Avatar a live-action film and able to be in all the different live-action categories, and Toy Story an animated film and only able to be in the animated categories?
Holy shit they actually killed the baby in it.

Ask yourself this, anon. What would you regret more? Doing it or not doing it?
>>85273341
just figure out what the local background casting agencies are. Get on a set as an extra first.
I paid $25 to my local casting agency when I heard a movie was in town and sent them a selfie I had just taken, next day I find out they need me for 2 days in a crowd scene.
