Thread: last movie you saw - and what did you think of it?

Just got back from TLJ. Have mixed feelings about it. Most people I talked to were either gushing over how great it was or throwing a hissy fit over inconsistencies in the lore or whathaveyou. There are some plotholes and logical inconsistencies, but never any more weirdness you get out of any other mainline star wars movie. There are a few moments that are really, really, cool, and a few WTAF moments.

Without spoiling anything; all of the stuff with Rey and Luke is really quite boring. If you're going to see this and feel the need to pee during the movie, wait till it cuts to a Rey and Luke scene.

I know I usually give a rating, but I have so many mixed feelings about all this.

I went to see Thor: Ragnarok with my sister on Christmas eve. It was very entertaining. I was never bored and it was pretty funny.

Coco 9-/10
Great music and musicals. Strongly emotional and good characters. A very well realized movie with a good concept and plot. Recommend seeing it.

The Shape of Water 6/10
I don't get what all the fuzz is about. I get the movie is kinda new in a sense with the fishman - woman relationship, but it still felt kind of awkward to watch the movie with other people because of all the intimate scenes. To me the movie tried too hard with little success. Unique concept, poor realization.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Just watched it last night and it was amazeballs. Way better than Force Awakens.
Fantastic use of humour. And I was gripped the whole time.

I didn't realize until the end, that I had already watched it. I kept seeing scenes I recognized and I'm like "Wtf trailer would put this scene in?".
Got to the end and I'm like "Oh, I've seen it before".

The best thing about having a shit memory is the ability to watch something for the first time, multiple times.

The Greatest Showman- It was okay. It reminded me of when I was younger.

Bulgarian Treasure Planet, I liked how bizarre it was.

Blader Runner 2049, ....epic!

Past week I watched The Shape of Water and I, Tanya..both great movies

Avengers Infinity War - I think it's pretty cool especially the fight scenes

I thought the shape of water was cool..then again I've like almost everything michael shannon was in..interesting though, the director claims lucid dreams have influenced his movies/ideas (pans labyrinth) ..think it's on wikipedia

Watched The Matrix for the first time. Really intriguing, and I noticed a lot of details that probably came from lucid dreaming ideas.

“Lucid Dreams” it’s from 2017 I think, and found it a bit misleading of the subject of what LD really are. They try to introduce dream sharing although the film goes mainly around another topic. Not what I was expecting for, say more dreams less ‘reality’.

I watched some of that, If I'm thinking of the same one. But I don't like watching foreign movies that much, mostly because I don't like having to read sub titles or seeing dubbed over where the voices don't match the lip movements.


Last night I watched a movie that made me feel very old and strange for the first time. It was kind of a surreal feeling. Like I was in two time periods at once. I'm not sure Nostalgic is the right word exactly, though it did have a nostalgia to it for me. In a way it was kind of depressing. Watching it, I felt a strange way that I never felt before.


The movie is called "Better Off Dead." Came out in 1985, Jeez. I didn't even realize it was that long ago. I was thinking it was probably 90's. I considered it one of my most memorable romantic comedies of all time.

"I want my two dollars!" Ha!. I found it on Youtube.

Can be watched right here.
