I haven’t seen Dolittle and my child hasn’t asked to see it yet, is it as bad as the internet says it is?

Finally got to Parasite. I highly recommend. Don’t be put off by the subtitles.

It’s such an awesome movie.

I have been wanting to see it. What is it about?

The logline is “A family tragicomedy depicting the inevitable collision that ensues when Ki-Woo, the eldest son in a family of four unemployed adults, is introduced to the wealthy Park family for a well-paid tutoring job.”

I honestly wouldn’t read or watch too much about it. The experience will definitely be better if you don’t know what makes it so good.

Unfortunately, I feel like you are correct. Parasite was such an amazing movie.

Ha. I neglected to put my actual pick in the poll. I’d put my top three as:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Parasite
1917

I realize rewatachability isnt the guiding star of best picture, but I think 1917 will suffer big time on that front.

I was wondering where Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was. It is my pick. Great show.

Bingo. It was fun, didn’t take itself too seriously. It ‘kinda’ kept me guessing, I figured out some of it before the end, but that wasn’t it’s main goal. It’s main goal was to help with that all important walk out to the car where you take survey on how you felt about the money you just spent.

“I really liked that movie.”
“Ya know, me too.”

It was great. I could watch Daniel Craig read a newspaper for 2 hours though, so… :man_shrugging:

The perfect length movie to watch on a flight though. :slight_smile:
Credits roll…get off the plane.

See, I think that The Last Jedi was criminally underrated. It had three of the best sequences in the new trilogy IMO.

The throne room where Rey and Kylo team up for the first time, the scene where Laura Dern rams the other ship while the crew escapes, and then Luke and Kylo facing off. I think the main reason people hated the film is because of that dumb ‘Las Vegas’ planet that took up such a long time. I agree. That scene blew. But if you remove that from the movie and have that be the only change, I think people’s opinion of the film would skyrocket.

As a movie, I didn’t mind Rise of Skywalker too much, but I absolutely hated how they spent 2 and a half hours on some kind of apology for TLJ that they felt was warranted.

Laura Dern’s character going into lightspeed to ram the ship was purely epic.

I didn’t mind TLJ pushing the boundaries on some of the things we thought we knew about Star Wars. I appreciated that risks were taken and that it wasn’t the complete pandering that Rise of Skywalker and Force Awakens were. Not that I think RoS and FA sucked. They were fun. I just enjoyed TLJ more than the others in the newest trilogy.

I don’t like that things that haven’t been an issue or weren’t possible previously suddenly are. In the 8th movie, all of a sudden we’re worried about fuel. Why was the Holdo Maneuver not even discussed any of the times they’ve had to blow up a death star?

I have mixed feelings about TLJ. It was entertaining to watch, and they had some cool scenes like you mention, but there’s a lot of events that end up not really meaning anything, like the mutiny and the whole casino scene.

Man, that was me tonight. Doolittle was alright, but I was like…

The bagpipes were too much for me. Absolutely ridiculous

It kills me that Anakin didn’t make an appearance (other than his voice), but overall I liked RoS.
