Last (x) Movies you are going to Avoid

Maybe its sorry-ass box office this weekend will save us.

Ope, too late, his Oscar's already been engraved.

letterboxd thread just reminded me of "C'mon C'mon," starring Joaquin Phoenix as a Nice Black-and-White Dad.

mike mills is such a good director tho. and he's an uncle!

Yeah, after 20th Century Women I'll give this one a shot.

West Side Story. The original's okay, and I would sometimes play the opening clip for students on Jerome Robbins' birthday (primarily because the concept of a choreographer would be new to them). Nothing drawing me to a remake.

Awards Season 2021 edition: House of Gucci; King Richard; tick, tick…BOOM!

I hope not to see a worse movie in the next two-ish months than tick tick BOOM!

HoGucc was a delightful, silly diversion in the theatre but would mostly slide off the eyes and brain at home

(hadn't seen a Scott in literally 30 years till The Last Duel, came out amped that I only had to wait a month for another three-hour historical Ridley epic starring Adam Driver)

at home

though it would probably have made a better five-hour miniseries

that was supposed to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morbius_(film)

― I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino),

this is exactly what it is

except he's a nice B&W unc.

Really wanna see House of Gooch tbh

Here, found it:

Elvis

Baz Luhrmann is a tacky vulgarian and should never be allowed to make a film ever again.

Bardo

(Walter Chaw: “Bardo is Jay Sherman’s 8 1/2, and knowing it doesn’t excuse it.”)

Despite being wuite capable of impure thoughts about Daisy Edgar-Jones, you could not pay me to see WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING

*quite

That movie title makes me think of some sort of swamp Disney singing animal thing, or Ghost World’s parody Miramax-style art film “The Flower that Drank the Moon”

I thought that was the new Scorsese movie.

is it just me or is The Fabelmans a deeply embarrassing looking film?

It's called THE FABLEMANS

*FABELMANS

The Moviesons

so you're agreeing with me

*i'm not a fabelmans, i'm a fable, maaaaaaaan*

Yeah it looks stupid as shit

The O’Silverscreensons

MOM: "You go ahead and make those movies!"
DAD: "There's more to life than movies!"
LIL STEVIE: "Movies: The Movie"
THE ACADEMY: "Give that man 1000 Golden Moviemans, hereafter known as Oscar Fabelmans"

I’m pretty sure I’ll avoid it but I do want to hear from someone who’s seen All Jacked Up And Full of Worms.

I want to see the bit of The Fabelmans where he finally meets John Ford and it's David Lynch, but YouTube will probably sort me out for that if I wait a few months.

Morbius would have defended this, miss him.

Something about the Violent Night premise is intensely irritating to me.

Yeah, that looks like garbage.

gleefully smug transgressive action movies kinda wearying to me in general, maybe moreso these days. santa claus as a skilled wildcard killer foiling the bad guys' plans almost too dumb to be real. the die hard in a chimney premise almost feels like a simpsons parody.

I’ll possibly end up seeing it anyway, but The Whale looks miserable.

hard hard avoid from me

Babylon, AMPAS indifference willing

avatar, obvs

I still can’t believe I saw the last one

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

The theatrical version of The Whale is an incredibly moving piece of theatre. No idea how the film version will shake out but I'm going to give it a try.

Violent Night ruled. It's a bit weird in that its core, it's really a traditional family Christmas movie, but then eventually bad guys get decapitated.

It's more like Miracle on 34th Street with Santa ruthlessly killing bad guys to protect a little girl from harm.

Pretty sure The Whale.

seconded

Enys Men, Tar, The Banshees of Inisherin

Aftersun looks kinda lame tbh.

It's terrific.
