OT - Movies thread

[TxFrog1999]

Was willing to give this a shot but now I’m definitely here for it…

Street Fighter

Certainly looks like a movie made by someone who knows what the fans want to see. I get the same vibe from the Masters of the Universe trailers.

Completely agree…

Found myself laughing out loud just at parts in the trailer. The second one was meh but this looks like it could bring back some of the magic from the first one.

Super Troopers 3

On Amazon Prime today I saw "Capricorn One" from 1978.

I saw it in the theater when I was 13. Not a bad movie with a young James Brolin, Sam Waterson, OJ Simpson and Elliot Gould.

Very solid movie.

Recently watched Hardcore with George C Scott. Pretty heavy movie.

Not as old, but I watched Gone Baby Gone and the Brolin version of Old Boy. Both worth watching. Oldboy is definitely the standard in revenge schemes lol.

I'm thinking next up is "16 Candles" or "84 Charlie Mopic"

If anyone has read the book "The Mosquito Bowl" a movie will be coming out later this year on Netflix.

Just got through watching a pretty interesting show - "Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN"

It was a lot of fun back when it was new. Now it's utterly unwatchable.

I still enjoy watching SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. I find the morning talk shows or anything that Stephen A Smith is in to be awful. He is Skip Bayless nausiating. And I like PTI, too. I do miss Around the Horn though.

In the documentary they talk about having on Australian Rules Football and the cult following it gained in the states.

ESPN would gets thousands of emails each week requesting ARF rules.

Weapons on MAX. Well done horror yarn in the Village of the Damned tradition. Worth a watch. 7.4 IMDB.

My wife and I have been watching a British series on Peacock called the Capture…very entertaining. Based in London about an Inspector that gets caught up in CCTV manipulation.

 

[Chongo94]

Didn’t know this was coming out so soon. Looks like it has potential. You can watch a color trailer online and the colors look really good unlike most of tv these days. This is the black and white version.

Spider Noir…

Is new film Bugonia worth it?
Edit: save your money & time

Ugh. Trying to fight through Bugonia.

Ugh. Trying to fight through Bugonia.

Wish I had this first. Just watched that garbage. Why did that film end up on so many "best films of 2025" list?

New Odyssey trailer dropped. The more I see of this movie, the less inclined I am to actually watch it. This trailer especially made some decent actors look bad at acting.

It's sad. I was a big fan of Nolan, until this [ Finebaum ] dropped from his nether regions. It's like Ridley Scott, who I had great regard for until he evidently ate a big seafood buffet meal in Mexico and produced the stinking horror that was Prometheus.

Sigh.

Recommendation:
Since you’re a fan of Nolan, try his brothers work—TV series Person of Interest. May have to trudge thru to 2nd season before it hits stride.

Agreed and a big fan as well. This just looks very meh and whatnot….its hard to describe but for such a big “epic”, I feel absolutely nothing for it every time I see a new clip.
