This movie has a potential to be a good fun

Seen it and it is a fun black comedy/slasher movie, if you don't mind the blood and guts. But then, I do consider Bad Taste to be one of the funniest movies ever.

 

[Captain X]

I kind of forgot this aspect of the movie, actually.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

I really liked the movie except for the last 30 minutes. That was a pretty dismal. Didn't realize that he was screwed from the start.

Critics are raving about it!

This could be the film that mends Russia's relationships with the West.



God Bless You Bert Kreischer. Just watching this trailer makes me realize that much like the ending speech of Rocky IV this film could help bring about the end of the new Cold War.

The Machine will release on May 25th so all of the Tankies can get in almost a full month of celebration before the film is released and they all embrace Western NeoLiberal Capitalist Values again.

I may have to see this one! I'm hoping it'll be horribly good.

I'm avoiding all the talk of this movie simply because I'll be taking my son to see it. Though emasculating the bard is a pretty regular occurrence in D&D games. to be honest. Mostly because it's fun for the rest of the group.

 

[Husky_Khan]

I think a lot of the controversy is the Movie people describing a subversion of Chris Pine as a "Leading Man" typecast being emasculation since he's portraying a Bard in this film.

One could readily see from the trailer that he's not a warrior, he's a rogueish Bard. It literally spells it out in the trailer with the Michelle Rodriguez Barbarian character described as the muscle of the team and stating he ain't. And when the Druid asks what he brings to the table the Barbarian says he can play the lute and he's all flustered and like "That's not relevant."

Better to just wait and see. I remember (myself included) knocking on Prey from the marketing and dumb movie developer comments but while it's always good practice to shit on stupid marketing and commentary, it doesn't mean the film will turn out to be a turd like Ghostbusters 2016 or TLJ or something.

Sheldon Lettich, who directed awesome films including Donald Trumps favorite film Bloodsport as well as other classics like Lionheart, The Quest and Only the Strong recently released the very first film he ever made, a short Vietnam War film called Firefight.



Sheldon Lettich himself was a Vietnam War veteran but you probably shouldn't go into this film expecting something like Platoon or We Were Soldiers etc. It starts off as a rough Vietnam War era film then suddenly dives completely into 80's Martial Arts action and it's both unexpected and glorious!

Pretty awesome to watch, it's not the best film obviously but for a big fan of Martial Arts and classic action movies, it's a real treat to watch. Frank Dux and Brian Thompson (whose a pretty prolific character actor) are both in the film. Also the Rhee Brothers (of Best of the Best fame) show up as Viet Cong soldiers. Super wild!

@Husky_Khan I would watch this guy 10 times rather than Polansky.

The Pianist was a decent film IIRC.

Still shouldn't be drugging and raping kids and fleeing justice afterwards though.

That happened long before The Pianist.

The Trailer for The Little Mermaid dropped. Already has over five million views in a day and #2 on Trending, which means something important. And glancing down, it has 90,000 LIKES!.... and over 400,000 dislikes.



If there was a reaction to my face watching this trailer it would've looked like this:

😐😐😐😐🤨😐😐🙂😐😐😐😐😑😐

I give this trailer One and a half Rotten live action Mulans out of One!

Is it just me or is Ariel using autotune?

I hope not.

Halle became popular because she is a singer first and foremost.

Finally a scientific way of analyzing who is the superior Actor and Creator in the cinematic performing arts.

Van Damme or Steven Seagal? In depth movie analysis of the classic and iconic 80's action movies Marked for Death and Hard Target.



And as a bonus Steven Seagal vs. Neil Breen

Hollywood is going to be releasing at least THREE military action movies about rescuing people left behind in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan rescue missions are Hollywood's latest military movie fad

Winning the Forever War on the big screen.

The thumbnail alone makes the heroes look generic asf lol. Too bad Channing Tatum can't grow a proper beard I guess. He's the odd one out and will have to reprise being a clean shaven GI Joe again while Gerard Butler and Jake Gyllenhaal sport the SpecOps beards that helps indicate they're former Special Forces.

Universal Pictures is releasing a film that atm will star Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum and involve them portraying former Army Special Forces rescuing some left behind Afghan civilian allies during the Evacuation of Kabul.

The second film is directed by Guy Ritchie and titled The Covenant which will star Jake Gyllenhaal as a former Army Special Forces soldier who will return to Afghanistan to rescue his former interpretator. It already has a trailer released.



And last but not least is Kandahar which actually takes place before the Kabul Evacuation but still involves Gerard Butler who portrays an Army CIA Special Forces soldier who is going to also rescue civilians from the Taliban.

This will be known as 'Phase One' of the Allied Civilian Evacuation Cinematic Universe and finish with an Avengers style climatic film which will blow up Iran or something. Phase Two and Phase Three will take place in Ukraine and Taiwan respectively.

Okay that last paragraph isn't 100% confirmed yet.

So this part of Hollywood is going to celebrate failure? I admit that is surprising🤔
