Beau is afraid. I found a stream of it online (yar matey). It was strange but good.

Real weird film. Wanted to love it more but it's hard to recommend. It's a perfect dream like movie about life but leans a bit hard into the absurdism

I watched A League of Their Own last week. Very watchable, not at all flashy, and refreshingly earnest. I hate that so many modern movies are so wised up and meta, and I find myself watching older movies more and more.

Recently it's been Ghost, Bull Durham, Forrest Gump, and Field of Dreams. (I don't even like baseball, no idea why so many of these are baseball movies!)

Aside from The Mighty Ducks, any recommendations?

Ooh I just remembered another random sports movie I watched recently - Hoosiers!

Heretic. In theaters, I think opening weekend.

It was, BTW, absolutely fantastic. They absolutely nailed Mormon doctrine and dogma, as well as the practices of missionaries. I highly recommend it.

I hate remakes, I normally don't watch them. Even sequels, especially 3rd or more.

But I believe people - generally - do want to watch remakes, (or formualic films based on cartoons), since that's all I ever seem to hear about. People seem a lot more likely to talk about "captain bat-spider 5 the egg-sack years" or "starwars the phantom plot connexion " than anything that seems intertesting to me.

I used to live by a cinema that did cheap mondays a few years ago, I think maybe 'Looper' and 'Sightseers' I remember seeing there most recently. I've doubt I've seen a new film since then.I think they're 'original ish'?

I don't even know where my nearest cinema is in this town, I think theres a small artsy one in town, but for proper cinemas i think you need a car drive out into the sticks fuck that.

All that aside, I liked lethal weapon 5 more than any other lethal weapon film. Does that count?

People have been making original movies for over a century, many of which have profoundly stood the test of time. I'll watch any of those before I will watch a modern remake or sequel.

To the answer the question I just now watched Things Change on my friend's Plex server. Four stars.

  • Boondock Saints
  • The Wiz
  • Corpse Bride
  • Joe's Apartment.

I have a bad movie night with family every week, and these were the recent ones. We watched via streaming services.

The last Marvel movie I watched was the end game one. Haven't bothered with another Marvel TV series or movie since. The last star wars movie I watched was the one where Luke projects his appearance and the bad guys shoot it a lot without doing anything. I haven't bothered with any of the other tv series or movies for star wars either.

I'm not the usual customer though. The last movies I saw in theaters was wicked and inside out 2.

Upgrade was an original movie i saw that wasn't terrible. Although I'm sure the idea of a guy putting an AI in his head plot has been done before.

Marianengraben
I watched it in a movie theater, and brought two friends along to show them.

The substance last week in a rocking indie theatre. Lots of.collective "ohhhhhhhhhhhh."

I watched "city of darkness" in the movie theatre two days ago, man that was shit. The trailer is all you need.

[–] brey1013 2 points 2 days ago

Snatch. With my eyes.

[–] nadram 2 points 2 days ago

Oppenheimer was the latest original movie I watched for the 1st time. I watched it at home... 'nuff said

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The last great movie I watched (TV) has been "Arrival". Enjoyed it a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (7 children)

There are original movies? Movies that don't follow the same old 2 peak / 3 act structure?

Embrace of the Serpent at home on streaming. Simple and beautifully shot in black and white. It was what I wanted from a movie, a great story that was well told. It’s definitely original.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 1 points 2 days ago

A lot of it has been in horror.

I LOVED Smile and Smile 2, and enjoyed the hell out of *Abigail *and M3gan. Another good one is Happy Death Day.

Bad Genius was fun, as was Wolfs.

There's a wealth of original content out there.

That shading work on the meme tho, excellent

[–] darthelmet 2 points 3 days ago

I've watched a few older original movies here and there on streaming at home, but I guess the last time I went to the theater for one was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I don't really go to the theater much in general anymore. Last time I went was for Dune 2 (mostly because I like the director more so than I'm interested in the franchise) and it was so loud I thought it was going to damage my eardrums.

That aside, if I'm gonna go see something, I want some reason that isn't just brand recognition. A director I like, some good reviews, maybe an interesting premise, etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Watched A Real Pain in the theater with maybe 5 other people.

Last weekend I saw Conclave in the theater. It was pretty good.

Round and Round, a Hallmark Hanukah time-loop Rom Com that is immeasurably better than it has any right to be. Seriously worth a watch, as is Hallmark's previous and first Hanukah movie, Hanukah on Rye.

I watched Oliver! the 1968 musical a few nights ago, but it's an adaptation of a very famous novel, and based on a Broadway play of it too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I Saw the TV Glow. Watched it at home and then in theaters when the theater near me did another run of it. Best movie of the year and my new favorite. Arguably the best trans representation in all of cinema, truly a masterpiece

Home for the Holidays, saw it Thanksgiving Day using... piracy and Jellyfin.

I've seen other films since, but Transformers One isn't exactly original.

It's good tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

As a jaded adult TF can, TF1 was the movie I didn't know I needed, and in perfect poetic irony Hasbro has pulled the plug

The best TF movie since the original G1 movie and all done lol
