Don't Look Up

Satire with an all star cast about a couple of scientists that discover a comet that is going to wipe out Earth only to find out no one cares.

Not the best movie I've seen but worth a watch as it was inspired by current events.

I thought it was pretty good, and completely designed to be understood by anyone possible.

Quote from: Blackleaf on December 28, 2021, 01:02:06 PMDetective Pikachu, on the other hand, used live action to its advantage, mixing with CGI based on the artwork of a well-known artist who makes Pokemon look more realistic. The Pokemon in the movie don't look out of place, unlike Sonic. They created a world that is much more believable and interesting. I also think the acting and humor was better in Detective Pikachu, but that might just be me. The Mr. Mime scene in particular was hilarious.
I don't know if I can agree with you on any of that.  Suffice it to say that realism is NOT what I want from Pokemon.  I think the green screen is more obvious in Detective Pikachu than Sonic, though it's a close call.  And I was actually really annoyed by the drawn-out Mime scene.  And to top it off, I think it was pretty bizarre watching Ryan Reynolds voice Pikachu.  I like Ryan Reynolds and his sense of humor, but that's one biiizzzare combo - I dunno if his flippant/snarky demeanor is the right fit for Pokemon in general and Pikachu in particular.

In summary, I could have gone for a more cartoonish style with less, you know...death...and maybe more exploration/befriending/rivalry like in the games.

Rather enjoyed Encanto.  Especially liked that the big strong one was a woman and the protagonist wore glasses.  Still, after this and Coco I begin to wonder if Pixar has a problem with Abuelas.

From Hell It Came

No one else will even give this movie a second thought, but I saw it on my parent's black and white TV when I was five years old and I was terrified by the "Tabanga." Christ knows why. As rubber monsters from 50's B-movies go, this one is less convincing. Mostly because it doesn't have any articulation.

But, I recently picked up a B&W CRT TV (They still make them ?!?!?) and watched it again and I crapped my pant, although that had nothing to do with the movie.

I enjoy rewatching those oldies that scared the bejabbers out of me when I was 10 too.  I end up buying them, because they don't seem to be available any other way, but they are usually cheap, but what carries them mostly is the nostalgia.  I seldom watch them more than once.  The last one I watched was Lost Continent with Cesar Romero.  I bought a copy, but I think it's on Utube.

Is it this one? It makes sense. It looks terrifying for a kid.



Remember giants bees and ants? I haven't slept for days and was scared for months probably. I was in primary school. Oh gawd. And I loved insects.

Big Bug Movies were a hit in the '50s. "THEM!" is the most rational of the lot, with "The Giant Claw" trailing way behind.

Enter "50 movies dvd collection" in Amazon's search window and you're on your way to wasting a huge amount of time. We watched "Teenagers from Outer Space" last night.

BTW, there will be some overlap in the boxed set. Getting fifty movies for $17.99 makes that painless.

Watched something the other night. Had Mel Gibson in it and some other people. Mel had this quite ridiculous English accent and I think it may have been the latest movie he has done…judging by this, I hope so. No, I don’t even remember the name of it….so…..there ya go…

That's sounds like a scary movie.

John Wick.  Caught most of it channel surfing.  Not sure why I like it, but I do.  Not quite believable--nobody could take the punishment he gets and keep on moving; or nobody can dish out that much mayhem in so short of a timespan.  But I don't quite see this movie trying to be realistic, but yet I keep watching and keep being amused.

Clever movie though. After the pup's untimely demise, everything was legit, so they used it well, and took it from there with another 2 movies. :lol:

If you think Earth being seeded with food critters that look very much like lobsters yeah, it's kinda scary. But the subtle suggestion that the actors were making up their lines as they go along that worse.
