Is This Something?
Hunting Season looks a bit like a generic revenge actioner but it's got Mel Gibson and he's really good at revenge actioners. Alas, it's not directed by Mel Gibson, but maybe some of his over-the-top ideas for cinematic violence were used.
The final moment of the clip is good.I doubt many of you will be into one but here's the Michael Jackson biopic. As Ethan Van Sciver remarked, they seem to have hired an actor with Michael Jackson's post plastic surgery nose, but had him wear a way-oversized prosthetic nose before the surgery. It's distracting. Michael Jackson's nose was never big nor really noticeable. It was a normal African nose. That's why people were weirded out when he turned it into a little elfin white woman's nose. It was like, dude, there was nothing wrong with your nose. No one noticed your nose until now. I think it's like when they keep taking away Superman's red briefs. They say they remove them because it "seems silly," but we've all gotten used to the red briefs on the outside. It's only when you take them away that we notice them, and then we notice the entire suit, and think: Well now it all looks silly, doesn't it? And I mention that because Space Ice has a video reviewing Superman, calling it the Superman movie for people who don't like Superman. Is that true? I thought the Henry Cavill movie was the Superman movie for people who think Superman is silly and who therefore don't like Superman. I know I have a very minority opinion on this, but I didn't love The Dark Knight because it was sooooo self-serious. I kept wondering, "How seriously do they intend for me to take a Batman movie? How seriously do think I'm capable of taking it?" I liked the first Nolan movie more because, while a more "realistic, grounded" take on Batman, it was still, you know, mostly a Batman movie. The sequel was like... I dunno, a meditation on the 2000s War on Terrorism mixed with Batman mixed with Saw. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. But I only liked it. The Cavill Superman was more of that but with a character even more inappropriate for the "dark and gritty" treatment. I bought the new Superman movie when Amazon reduced the price to like $8. But here's the thing: I turned it off after six or seven minutes. It was just not doing it for me. But I didn't mind seeing the Silver Age silliness in the ads -- Krypto or a giant kaiju monster. Superman is -- all superheroes are -- fundamentally silly. That's part of the charm. You can reduce that a bit but I don't want to see it removed completely. But even though I didn't mind seeing Silver Age silliness in the trailer, the first six minutes of this movie were already dragging for me and I just turned it off. I suppose I'll watch it one day, but I don't know when. I got whiplash from going from the too-serious Cavil/Snyder movie to this too-silly/too-cartooney version. Maybe something in the middle? Like, I dunno, the very well loved Christopher Reeve Superman movies? (I and II, natch.) BTW, Space Ice says the best Superman is Christopher Reeves. There is no Christopher Reeves. There is Christopher Reeve, and then there is George Reeves who played Superman in the 50s. Just something I always notice.

I dunno if Ace needs more content for his upcoming Is This Something, but the leftist goblins are STILL upset about Sydney Sweeney.
Every NCP Goblin comment is the same: She was given the opportunity to denounce white supremacy and she said "no." Confirmed: She is a white supremacist. It is no longer up for debate: she is a white supremacist.

So what's happening with the fake-outrage NPC Goblins is they are, for once, genuinely outraged.
They are outraged over Sydney Sweeney exposing their loss of Power over Us with the constant "white supremacist" and "racist" bullshit threat of cancellation.

SS handled it perfectly on a lot of levels.
No fear.
Contempt.
It sent them right back to high school when the jocks or the queen bees treated them contemptuously. Except, while in movies the protagonist is treated that way unjustly, they really are non-entities.

Kind of interesting. The plot summary goes, "When crooks kidnap an American businessman's son, he goes after them with a FLAMETHROWER."
So it's kind of like one of those Liam Neeson/Mel Gibson parent-revenge movies, but from a lomng time ago.
And it's end up being a commentary on American vs. British worldviews.
The lead character is an Ameeican business based in London, When his kid gets kidnapped, he quickly learns that the British police are limp, slow-moving, and basically useless. So he goes after the kidnapper "his own way," which falls short of Charles Bronson/Liam Neeson violence, but reveals the American go-get-'em no-holds-barred attitude that the British lack, but admire.
Ultimately, the British cops are shown to be cleverer than first assumed, and the single flamethrower scene was a bit of a letdown, but still: A Thumbs Up.

No, no he wasn't. He was an absolute douche.

Mob Land, starring John Travolta. Low budget, low IMDB rating, but a good film.

That said, ace... 6 minutes of Superman? C'mon man! 6 minutes is basically that extended trailer. That movie was AWWFULLLL!!!! Even my wife, not a big movie fan but open-minded, was moaning at how stupid the whole thing was. Nerdrotic hit the nail on the head with his review. You really have no appreciate for how bad that movie was from 6 minutes. And Space Ice is right... THAT is the Superman movie for people who hate Superman. Cavill was cool. It was Zack Snyder who was weird (and I never liked 300 either). Frankly David Corenswet was fine too. It was James Gunn. And the supporting staff. These people don't like Superman. Snyder liked Superman, he just wanted it to be like 300. But Man of Steel was much more honorific to Donner's Superman (the best) than Gunn's.

I'm not a big fan of Jimmy Buffett, and think the Margaritaville restaurants are largely overpriced tourist traps, but would like to get the Margaritaville cookbook and a related volume, "Jimmy's Buffet," at Amazon. Wouldn't mind learning how to make some tasty spicy tropical entrees.

All of his weird plastic surgery happened after Pepsi melted his face in that commercial. I don't know what the settlement was for that, but I suspect part of it was that he not make them look bad by blaming them for his F'd up face.
He also went with lighter skin after that thing.

I say mild because, the man is an American Rushdie. He knows the Third World and that's how he got so far under Obama's skin. But ultimately D'Souza, like Rushdie, is a man of India.
And D'Souza takes corners with the law... like they do in India, and with an Indian level of incompetence. Which is how he got sentenced to a halfway house.

If we're talking about the Heath Ledger Joker movie, I didn't like it when I first saw it, but it kinda grew on me.
It was sorta like having a tension, a ringing in the ears, getting louder and louder as the film went on. I appreciated it more on a second viewing, by sorta taking the Joker out of the center of it.

I've also heard that in your state and nearby, you can tell how good the BBQ joint is by how much of a hole-in-the-wall it is.
Supposedly if it's located in an abandoned burnt-out trailer, there's no menu (except for a whiteboard) or parking lot, the guy who owns/runs it never heard of public restaurant sanitation rules, and the sign is hand-painted with a picture of a pig enjoying eating itself, those are all signs of great southern BBQ.

Not really.
The new Predator movie is supposed to be “queer”.
The thing that surprises me about the Predator movies is how in each one the Predators come to more closely resemble black people.
I seriously don’t mean that racistly, it’s just a fact, look at some clips from the newest one. They have braided hair and are punching one another in the shoulder like homies.
Really, really odd choice in today’s environment.

Ha! But his performances between the two are nothing alike.
He IS the best thing in both movies, however. In "Dream Scenario", his performances are almost random since they're in people's dreams. In "Point Break Down Under", i.e., "The Surfer", he goes down a very specific track only to come out the other side a New Man.

The first two-thirds of the movie are such a kick-ass action thriller, you think the movie is an action thriller (why wouldn't you?).
Then the putative protagonist is killed OFF-SCREEN!
Because the movie was never about him. It was about Tommy Lee Jones. And it's a tragedy.

270 Supposedly, No Country For Old Men is about 'the nature of good and evil.' So there's not really supposed to be a traditional good guy or bad guy.
---
That might be the wrongest take possible. Being about 'the nature of good and evil' only prevents you from having a traditional good or bad guy if you believe that traditional good or bad guys don't really exist.
Also, Chigurrh is as evil a character as there is--like, comic book level, complete with flipping coins (and also often regarded as one of the most real fictional psycho/sociopaths).
Also, Tommy Lee's sheriff is good...but he's cowardly in his old age...which is the tragedy.

You mean, except for the major plot point that had Superman's parents telling him to start a harem of wives on Earth to conquer and rule over humanity as their rightful superior, which causes everyone in the movie to turn on him? Not sure there's a more effective way to point out the "toxic white male!!" than that...

Unless you disagree with the conclusion that this plot point was the filmmakers' way of knocking Superman's 'toxic white masculinity'...

I liked the new Superman movie.
It is a very good take on the Silver Age Superman.
If you read those comics at all, you probably enjoyed the movie a lot.
Those who are fixated on the Christopher Reeves "Superman" movie probably never read a Superman comic book. CS Supes was fine for what it was, a Hollywood Screwball Comedy, but IMO it really wasn't a true Superman movie and kind of a disappointment.

Both Costner and Donner's Pa Kent warned Superman of letting people be aware of his powers. Man of Steel just went further down that rabbit hole, b/c Snyder (and modern audiences? maybe Nolan's involvement?) wanted more seriousness. The scenes you talk about are products of that approach. Costner could be overly serious, but he didn't write the role. But both pushed Superman to be good, to be something more. They weren't awesome characters, but not bad. Gunn's Pa (and Ma) Kent was just an insult to 'old people' in flyover country... Like the Waterboy to Cajuns... Guess I'm being more comparative than empirical...

I haven't seen the new one yet. Since I did grow up with Silver Age DC Comics, I'd probably like it.
The Reeve films were tongue-in-cheek, but they were fun and perfectly cast. Reeve was a true actor. Richard Donner honed his director skills in TV, including more than a few Man From U.N.C.L.E. episodes, and the Reeve films had something of that flavor.

That his parents implored him to start a harem and lord over Earth as their superior, and that this position caused a lot of (most?) people to hate him for at least part of the movie, is factual. That the movie ended without denying that this was Superman's true parents' direction to their son was also factual. Whether or not that depicts the filmmakers woke worldview, and that they want to project that worldview on their audience, can be an opinion. But it ain't a tough opinion to reach.

Sisu was too over the top , unable to suspend belief for my liking. Tone it down 20% and I think it would have been great.

The only thing I heard about him on the "Hollywood grapevine" was that he was a bit of a womanizer.

It's based on the first of the Parker crime novels by Donald E. Westlake as "Richard Stark." Point Blank was the first adaptation. I still picture Lee Marvin as Parker when I read the books.

I mean, I (and my friends) were reading Superman comics when the movie came out. I don't know anyone who didn't love it.
Parts of II, where the Salkinds put in more of their slapstick, jangle today but at the time it was considered the rare "good sequel".

Oh, I didn't hate it or anything.
I liked it as "Superman: The Screwball Comedy". It was fine. I enjoyed it.
I just didn't feel like they captured Superman as he was in the comic books.

Just as bad are the Marvel movies, where these guys have saved the world over and over, and now that the actors are all fat and old, they leave saving the world to third rate cripples and chicks.
We're supposed to believe the REAL heroes are off somewhere else, doing other hero stuff elsewhere.
Can we have those movies instead of Antman and the Native American deaf girl?

That sounds like a really bad idea. They'd be better off greenlighting a sequel for The Nice Guys. That movie is criminally underrated.

I thought Corenswet was good. I didn't think he was WAY better than Cavill, but maybe he had better earnestness in 2025. But the rest of the movie... Not a Superman movie. It was a James Gunn team-up Guardians / Suicide Squad where Superman was maybe part of the heroes (and kept getting his butt kicked; including somehow by a clone controlled by Lex Luthor who was able to think and relay actions to a team and a clone faster than... Superman could fight!!)

I think Sisu was about right, even the women were perfect avengers.

I did some megaposts on Xmas movies during the lockdowns. You can find them in the archives (December of 2020 and 2021, I believe) or on my site:
https://rb.gy/7xmr9i
urly.it/31cxkz
(URL shortening is now apparently a vital resource.)
Second one is more interesting, probably because it has more horde-recommendations, and the threads here will have a ton in the comments.
Ever since then, whenever I'm watching a movie and it turns out to be tangentially Christmas, I make a mental note.
"Three Days of the Condor"? Christmas movie.

Baby sent off exploding Krypton. Lands on Earth. A couple finds it, raises the young Kal-El as an adopted son.
They're Thomas and Martha Wayne. Still alive, along with Bruce who gets a new, special brother.
