I watched this dumbass barbie movie last and I rate it 2/10 but only because the pirate website didnt steal all my crypto money for watching it.

Just make a thread about the movie, no need to make it a general. Generals killed 4chan, let's not repeat it.

>>22343 I watched "Spectre" (2019) yesterday, was 7/10. I enjoyed the cinematography but the plot itself was rather thin. Will watch the last Bond today.

>>22347 Porn killed 4chan, not generals.

>>22347 Shut up and go back, retard. Last film I watched was Ghostbusters. It's still funny, I find Sigourney Weaver more and more attractive with each passing year and the effects are still good.

>>22350 >Porn killed 4chan This. /b/ is a blacked wasteland.

>>22347 It's unnecessary. Usually threads about individual movies don't spark enough discussion to warrant own threads, I don't see anything wrong with having one thread to discuss moobies like we have general threads about music and TV shows (with X-Files being the exception, because it's just so great ;)) >>22348 What's the best Bond? I like Casino Royale, but haven't seen many.

>>22353 >What's the best Bond? I don't have a favourite, I guess I like the ones with Sean Connery the most since they have the best balance between silliness and seriousness. I mainly re-watch them nowadays for retrospective hidden Illuminati messages. :3

Greyhound - Awful. I expected the americentrism and wouldn't have minded if they at least got anything about the U-Boats right. Stuff like the commander using the radio to taunt the Allied convoi made it unintentionally hilarious. Under Sandet - Nice war drama, if you can stomach the goofy Danish language. Dû bist mîn, ich bin dîn - Short film with Middle High German script. Probably expected a bit more after it was hyped by medievalist communities but I still recommend it. There's a version on YT with English subs.

>>22362 Also "stalking the convoy" is very far from reality. The German boats took a long time to find a convoy, and then they shot their torpedoes and disappeared as fast as they could. It was suicide not to hit and run.

>>22353 >What's the best Bond? Ask ten people and you will probably get ten different answers. Most people will agree though that the Connery classics like Goldfinger and From Russia With Love, Moore era Live and Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun, Dalton's The Living Daylights and Brosnan's Goldeneye are those to watch to get your own bearings. Lazenby's is special and interesting, but he is not a popular Bond. Brosnan's later films are absolute fucking shit. I saw Die Another Day on the big screen and even back then I didn't like it. I personally like Casino Royale, despite it having like three climaxes, but I would have daily sexual intercourse in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation with Eva Green, if you catch my drift. The other Craig films I can't say much about, I only saw Skyfall, and it was a bit ehhh, and I generally don't trust big budget productions after 2010.

I urge bernd to watch this one subtle and good atmosphere

>>22375 You are like half right. As long as the submarines were hidden, they had the element of surprise and could choose to enter combat whenever they felt like. Why would they trade blows with a destroyer when they could pick off cargo ships? When they entered combat, they want to make sure they are pointed perpendicular to the other ship, that was they can fire their torpedo at the broad side of the ship. Sonar was still a new technology that only the allies possessed. Only makes sense that the Uboats would try to use intelligence and other means to follow convoys around. What would the other option be, explore the Atlantic? That said, the movie tried to do too much. Blowing up a uboat with a depth charge just to show the audience what a depth charge is was a little over the top. The Germans had decoys, but they were primitive bubblers. Taunting the convoy wasn't in the book and was just made up so the movie could have a climax. Also makes no sense, why would the uboat taunt a destroyer, destroyers sink submarines (if they can catch them)... >>22362 >americentrism I haven't seen the movie, what are you referring to specifically. It isn't supposed to be Das Boot, it is based on a British book on convoys called The Good Shepherd.

>>22401 That was the basis of submarine wolfpack tactics. Uboats would spread out in an area where convoys would move through. When they spotted one, they would pull as many submarines as they could and wait for the right moment, then strike with force concentration. They would communicate with each other using radios. This worked effectively for about a year, but the allies developed counter measures. High Frequency Direction Finders could be used to spot uboat radios. Aircraft could see Uboats following a convoy, eliminating the critical element of surprise.

>>22404 1942 was the best year for Uboats, with over 1000 allied ships sunk. After that, sinks dropped dramatically, to a few hundred in 1943, then under 50 after that. This was due to allied counter measures proving too great.

>>22398 Yeah, I really need fo watch that some time

>>22348 >>22353 >>22358 >>22389 >What's the best Bond? I genuinely like Daniel Craig with Pierce Brosnan at the second place, and Sean Connery at the third with Craig the films finally got this air of seriousness and drama leaving out that humour Craig's last Band film was shit though

>>22401 >it is based on a British book on convoys called The Good Shepherd. Yeah, but there's hardly any Brit in the film except some radio voices. It focusses exclusively on heroic Tom Hanks and his black waiter.

"Project UFO" (2025) is nice. Poles have courage in out outcourage times.

Watched this and it was alright, entertaining at least, but a bit too long. Can someone explain to me why this is so incredibly overhyped?

Rewatched Thief. Great 80s flick with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack!

>>22732 >incredibly overhyped I read it bombed in the theaters

>>23888 I really hated it, mostly for teh awful prick main charackter.

Watched it again for the first time since seeing it in the cinema. Back then, I thought Chris Hemsworth was too "normal," but I now find his charackter okay. However, Tom Burke as Praetorian Jack is far too bland. The rest of the film is perfectly fine; I suspect it gets better with each viewing, but so far it hasn't reached the thrilling heights of its predecessor. Even the artificial look is perfectly acceptable to me. I believe the film's visual qualities won't be fully appreciated for decades to come.

>>22732 I turned it off about halfway because it was just droning on and on. Where was the comedy aspect? because all that blakk kween shit was completely offputting.

>>23931 Just look at review sites, it got incredibly high scores even by normal people, not critics >>23935 What was so bad about him? He’s a passionate and driven man adhering to his ideals. >>23937 There were some comedic scenes, for example when Pat forgot the code word and had to argue with a wokist over the telephone

>>23938 Snorting a little coke, cranking everything up to eleven, and then writing a screenplay. That's how scenes like the one where James Caan, the consummate pro and safecracker, picks up his girl from the club, waving his gun around (discreet pro, you get it?), and then yelling furiously at her the whole car ride because he loves her so much. Absolute garbage of a movie.

>>23936 Not as good as the 'first' but got way too harsh criticism on its release imo. I enjoyed it much more than most films.

>>22732 Paul Thomas Anderson makes films that feel like they're emulating what people consider to be 'good cinema' without actually trying to be good.

>>23943 Watch his debut "Hard Eight", I think it's really good.

>>23947 I haven't seen that one, and I don't hate all his stuff. Magnolia and There Will Be Blood were decent (if a bit overrated). But the rest of them I've seen have been long and uninteresting and overacted.

>>22398 Watched it, pretty good. Such a gentle and sensitive film. The father and the girl really had good chemistry.

>>24131 I think they got the subtly just right in the clues about the father's emotional state.

Movies are boring Op is gay Someday he'll be dead Yay yay yay

Rewatched an early Schrader. Not too shabby, but a bit rough around the edges. I feel he could have taken the protagonist farther than he did.

>>23936 >>23942 unexpectedly I did like it much better than the hasty erratic non-stop action of the Fury Road >>23937 >>23938 >>23943 k watched it at one point almost did as Bavaria ball says as it all was creating layers of complexity without substance, but managed to stay put overall, watchable and has some plot twists, as well as some good acting (liked Sean Penn and del Torro), but in the end doesn't go to my top 6/10

>>22343 I thought Taxi Driver sucked. I always heard Joker stole from Taxi Driver, so I watched it. The main character is pathetic, unrelatable and an asshole, I don't understand the comparison. Anyone considering this guy a hero is a psychopath.

>>23942 I already hated the first one, what a piece of shit. Ugly, stupid, makes no fucking sense. They managed to throw in a pretty dumb kind of wokeness, too. I actually like action flicks, but not like that.

>>24515 I have mixed feelings about the Taxi Driver: - first time I had seen it, it made a huge impression on me, both plot-wise (those vibes from the Stephen King's Dead Zone mixed with the city's violence and degradation) and in terms of acting - but then I tried to watch it later and it was just a slow af another Scorsese's movies, and the protagonist stalking that Cybil Shepherd's character looked unconvincing verdict - one time is a must, multiple views is for connoisseurs only

>>24515 >Anyone considering this guy a hero is a psychopath. Sooo, just like with Joker?

>>24515 King of Comedy is the moviethat Joker borrows from, not Taxi

>>24567 Is King of Comedy good?

Coincidentally I watched Taxi Driver recently too. I'd watched it a long time ago but had forgotten the plot entirely. It was overall decent. I like the dialogue. Dialogue nowadays is so so bad it's refreshing to watch something that feels at least a little bit like everyday speech. The revenge on society plot was okay. I see how people relate it to Joker but really they're quite different films, and I probably overall prefer Joker (maybe that's a cinema sin but idc)

>>24580 Why does dialogue have to be natural? I like stylized dialogue to achieve certain artistic goals.

>>24582 I suppose you could have intentionally unrealistic dialogue to achieve some artistic goal, but that would need to be well enough made to compensate for the film being otherwise unrealistic. The reason people like to watch films is to empathise with the characters, and so feel something when something happens to those characters. If the dialogue isn't able to trick you into believing that they're real people, you're not going to care about them and won't enjoy the film.

>>24576 it's a decent movie Joker is better with a more intense story in my imo

>>24598 That kind of nihilistic imageboard-y absurdist atmosphere is really rare, but it's nice when someone makes something like it. Disco Elysium has a similar feel imo
