Reply to The LOTR The Return of the King is a great film but the confrontation with the Ghost Army has always puzzled me. by verc1ngetor1x
It never happened in the book. I can't remember if a Ghost King was in the book, either.
It really annoyed me.

I have never seen a nipple licked with less enthusiasm than during the sex scene in the jail cell.
Dude uses his tongue with all of the enthusiasm of a six year-old painting a fence.

The sizzle reel has been around for a while. It looks really good and several key creatives are involved from the original, but the latest news has not been hopeful.

Best cold open.
Best song.
Best opening action sequence.
Best torture scene.
Martin Campbell should do more Bond films. He directed two of the best.

Reply to Does anyone thinks the pacing of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was a little off at the mid point? by jcgonzmo
I liked it but didn't love it. A friend of mine LOVED it and bought the Blu-Ray, so I'm planning to watch it again in a few months.
I think the film could have had 20 or 30 minutes cut out and it would have been much better.
I could see what they were going for with the mother/father/daughter dynamic and all the multiverse possibilities, but for me, I felt like the film spend to much time on the multiverse ideas and not enough on the family history and fraught relationships.
At the end, I didn't get much of an emotional reaction because I didn't feel like that had been earned because the family story was drowned out by the frenetic action and comic silliness.
I'll be curious to see if my opinion changes.

You can try all you want, but you can't pick a fight with me. I've already told you that I don't suffer fools gladly, but if you're too stubborn to listen, then go ahead and continue vomiting your impotent rage into the void.
Understand also that you'll be doing it alone, and probably forever.

No. They're stupid, awful people who should not have pets because they're stupid, awful people. I don't derive any satisfaction laughing at stupid, awful people, but you go ahead if that makes you happy.

I really enjoyed "Waiting for Guffman" and "A Mighty Wind." I really struggled with "Best in Show" because the yuppie couple were so fucking awful that I wanted them to die just a few minutes after they first appeared. I know they're supposed to be horrible, but I couldn't find them funny in any way.

Ripley in "Alien 3." It's kind of unbelievable that she would be able to hold on to the Queen chestburster as she falls into the fire, but it's great visual and very metaphorically symbolic. At least until "Alien: Resurrection."

Reply to Positive family representation in movies? by tasfa10
My tip-top recommendation would be:
"The Castle", a wonderful Australian comedy. The story and characters are WONDERFUL.
Runner-Ups below because both are dramas with some dark moments. Thankfully, both of them end on an upbeat note.
"The Man in the Moon" with a very young Reese Witherspoon.
"The Secret of Roan Inish", written and directed by John Sayles.

Reply to Fright Night (1985) by bluejester12
An iconic horror/comedy that drips Eighties glitzy while having terrific performances and well-aged visual effects.
I also thought that the remake was superb in it's own way.

Reply to In your opinion, which is better? The original Star Wars Trilogy, or Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy? by Absuridity_Octogon
I've long felt they are quite similar in quality as each film in each trilogy, for me, is Really Good, Great, and then Good.

Reply to The Shawshank Redemption 😲 by [deleted]
The most fascinating thing about this film is that the final reunion on the beach was not the original ending. IIRC, it ended with the shot of Andy in the car driving away, but Darabont added the beach scene at the insistence of the studio, and for once, I agree with the studio.
I love that the scene has no dialogue, and that the men are seen from a distance once they meet and embrace. The remove of that is so satisfying when you realize that both characters spent decades in prison, where privacy didn't exist. Now that they're out, the camera respects that privacy and keeps its distance.
I also love that the final scene is on this lovely little beach with the clear blue water and sky stretching out to infinity. After two hours in a dark, gray and terrible place, it feels the audience escapes the prison along with Andy and Red.
The subtle soundtrack does stellar work here as well. Sublime work by Thomas Newman.
