Discussion The Odyssey ruined Doomsday trailer for me

Upvotes

I'm not a comic book movie or MCU hater. Quite the opposite actually. I watched everything from the MCU during the 2010s, and was in the line for Infinity War and Endgame on day 1. But drifted away from it since, like so many people. However, I was curious to watch the Doomsday trailer, maybe some of the magic could be brought back. Then I watched it..and then went to the movies to watch the Odyssey. And holy shit man, what are we doing here?

I know it's just a trailer, but how can a 300M dollar movie looks like CGI slop while Nolan is doing..THAT?? And not just Nolan, because Dune Part 3 comes out on the same day, costs half as much as Doomsday and apparently it will look like Lawrence of fucking Arabia.

We shouldn't accept so little effort.

Discussion Was Project Hail Mary *really* that good?

1.3k Upvotes

After I watched it, I was kinda just confused by all the 10/10s. Like, it's a great family movie, cute moments, some good acting, but better than Interstellar? Movie of the year? More than a 7/10??? I just don't get it.

The plot was basic hollywood sci-fi adventure with the silly alien sidekick and quirky protagonist, all the dialogue felt extremely scripted and milennial-esque, the characters were all kinda one-note. I understand why it's so loved especially by casual watchers, but it just baffles me on how the critics are on the same boat.

Don't get me wrong, it had a lot of great aspects too, but I can't be the only one who was severely underwhelmed, right??????

So many great movies with very different approaches, I think this is my favorite though because it has a bit of everything and I find it darkly hilarious at times why also being kind of tragic.

I know it wasn't an accurate adaptation of the book but it was still watchable and entertaining film. Some stories deserve to be judged on their own and this is one of them.

Discussion After nearly seven years, what are people's thoughts on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

Post image
44 Upvotes

Frankly I didn't care for it. I loved the look and sound of the film. I tend to love the type of music Tarantino puts in his soundtracks and these 60s bops are no different. I love how Los Angeles is filmed as well. Just some great shots of a metropolitan summer which I'm a sucker for. But they lack just a bit of substance. A movie just about people going about their day can work, but Tarantino lacks a point of view to what's being shot. The characters guiding us through these scenes aren't very compelling, neither are the situations they find themselves in and the ultimate twist pay-off wasn't interesting to me (even though flame throwers are indeed cool). The result is a movie that lacks momentum. Margot Robbie does great with what little she has, but the film gives us no insight to her or Brad Pitt's characters. Which is interesting given that the movie is set up as this love letter to a major diverging point in Hollywood. But nothing is said about this moment in time other than "What if, like, things didn't happen that way". Yeah, bitch, what about it? Leo did good in his performance as a bratty Hollywood type who takes his job seriously, though. He had a great sense of humor and prima donna-ness which helped pull me through the first half of the movie. Also this movie gave us Margot Robbie and featured one of my favorite historic weirdos Squeaky Fromme. So there's that!

Letterboxd Are any of the ones I have left on imdb top 250 worth watching?

Post image
46 Upvotes

Out of the ones I have left, I’m not quite sure if they’re worth the time honestly. It seems like animé fans and Indians have got a little too many spots on the list.

These are the ones I have left:

  • 12th Fail (2023) - Indian movie
  • Like Stars on Earth (2007) - Indian movie
  • Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK (2024) - Animé based on TV show
  • Dangal (2016) - Indian movie
  • Hamilton (2020) - A filmed stage show
  • Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) - Animé based on TV show
  • The Best of Youth (2003) - 6 hour long Italian mini series 
  • Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) - Animé based on TV show
  • A Silent Voice: The Movie (2016) - Animé based on TV show
  • The Chaos Class Failed the Class (1976) - Turkish cult classic with very poor reviews on Letterboxd
  • Maharaja (2024) - Indian movie
  • Jai Bhim (2021) - Indian movie
  • My Father and My Son (2005) - Turkish movie, seems better than Chaos Class, but still hesitant due to them seeming to askew imdb stats.
  • Drishyam (2013) - Indian movie (side note: Drishyam 2 was also in the list before getting out because of The Odyssey)
  • Lost Ladies (2023) - Indian movie

Are any of these worth watching if you’re not an animé fan, Indian or from Turkey? 

I should also mention that I gave the most top rated Indian movie a chance which was 3 Idiots. A pretty silly college comedy that was 3 hours long with little to none female characters. I gave it 3 stars.

Will it still annoy me to no end that the circle won’t be green in my Letterboxd stats so I might watch all of them anyway? Maybe…

Also if anyone has any questions regarding what I think about the movies I’ve actually seen in the top 250 feel free to ask them.

Discussion Wtf happened to Taika Watiti?

451 Upvotes

I feel like people forget how truly great of a director Taika Waititi is. Jojo Rabbit and Hunt for The Wilderpeople are genuinely some of my favorite films of all time. What We Do In The Shadows was also incredible, and Thor Ragnorok was one of the best marvel movies at it's release (and at least the best Thor movie). After Love and Thunder it's like he fell off a cliff in terms of writing quality and directing style. What happened? The visual style in Jojo and HFTWP is genuinely amazing and the writing even more so. It seems strange for someone with such promise to fall off so hard.
