#MovieThread starts here.
Today's film, #2, "Promare." No idea what this one's about but the animation looks cool.
I forgot to thread, but movie #9 in #MovieThread is "Toy Story." https://beepboop.one/@Alexis/104722204163664976
Movie #12: This spring's "Underwater," because I'll watch Kristen Stewart fight a Cthulhu, sure.
Once again I return to the downloads folder for some early-lockdown movies with "Capone." (#17!)
There was a lot of talk when this released about how this redeems Trank as a director post-"Fant4stic," and that's fair β it's well-made, and there's some great sequences in here, but at no point does he actually manage to make me *care* about this person or his family, which makes it all a bit flat.
Hardy, of course, plays a terrific disease-riddled Capone losing what little is left of his mind.

@Alexis is it bad that I just wanted to respond "funniest shit i've ever seen"
(I apologize if you don't know the meme)

@Alexis idgi
@Alexis I don't think these are real movies. I think you're pulling an elaborate prank.
@kurt One where the girl from Twilight fights Cthulhu? Ridiculous.
@Alexis I buy that one more than Seth Rogen getting preserved in a vat of pickles.
@kurt This one does sound a lot like a fake trailer on SNL the week a superhero movie comes out.
@Alexis To be fair, fake snl trailer is a genre of movies that exists unfortunately.
π« "Live and Let Die" (1973)
@Alexis Stay away from Moonraker, then.
π« "Live and Let Die" (1973)
@adz hahaha, yeah, I bet the tension between tones there is, uhhh, outta this world.
π« "Live and Let Die" (1973)
@Alexis Yes, "tones." Let's go with that...
@Alexis General coolness?
@kurt The general coolness from approximately two years ago at the time, I suspect.
@Alexis@beepboop.one i hope not, that means you're digging up dead bodies
@InspectorCaracal *dirty shovel over my shoulder* Just checking to see if they're dead.
@Alexis@beepboop.one omg that reminds me of an amazing animated short though i wonder if i could find it again
@Alexis@beepboop.one i can't find it that sucks
@Alexis I vote for cut to black.
@kurt Cut to black/Credits roll 2020.
@Alexis Cut to black?
@kurt He walks into the voting booth, closes the curtain, close-up on his smiling daughter, cut to black, credits roll.
@Alexis Not sure what else they could have done, besides... he makes them all work together happily ever after?
@kurt yeah, it's pretty obvious right away that the movie is extremely dedicated to not picking a side, it's almost too big a decision to actually depict the ramifications of
@Alexis I wonder if they credit Asimov... (at least, I think the short story i have in mind was his)
@Alexis no, they didn't, at least per IMDb. Franchise, 1955, even set in 2008.
@naga Yeah, I just looked it up, too. It's not the weirdest premise.
@Alexis@beepboop.one that's something i haven't heard you say about a movie for a while
@InspectorCaracal I should watch more movies that are fun and enjoyable, perhaps.
@Alexis@beepboop.one now now let's not be too hasty with these wild ideas
@InspectorCaracal I've been trying to avoid early reviews, but what I've picked up about "Tenet" is that I do not appear to be continuing this trend tomorrow.
@Alexis@beepboop.one i am sorry for your loss
I'm *pretty* sure that's what it's about, anyway.
