    Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

    John Ford westerns for my late dad and I. He's been gone 7 years but I still feel him next to me when I watch Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

        Toy Story 4 sold out the theater for the Thursday night premiere. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged was only about 99% away from doing the same. Don't waste your time. I went because it was free and only 90 minutes. My waiter even snuck me free popcorn because it's his last night. It still feels like a rip off. The first one was passable with a creative ending. This...was not. Seriously, if you want a decent shark movie see the original or 2016's The Shallows. For dumb fun watch The Meg or 1998's Deep Blue Sea. This had characters we didn't know or care about, a plot thinner than a beanpole and jump scares that really weren't that scary. I don't know how this has managed to get a 58% on the Tomatometer.

                  Well half the film doesnt make sense anymore since it references a film from 1990. There have been like 2 Robin Hood's since then

                    It was horrible back then, too. You've just matured (c.f. anything by Ayn Rand).

                    Except for the spoon. That was good.

                    To whoever mentioned The Meg, this is one of the best dumb movies of all time for me because I caught it when I was on a hockey trip but sick with the flu and essentially paralyzed on a friend's couch. I felt like utter sh-t and had never heard of it before but was too listless to change the channel. And then... the glory of its complete trashiness swept over me like the warmth of a mother's love. One of my best memories, in all honesty. I have rarely needed to laugh so much and it did it.

                      It still has some good moments, but it's definitely the end of Mel Brooks as a cultural paragon of satire.

                          The best dumb movie of all time is Flash Gordon 1980. And it still holds up today.

                                Saw The Art of Racing in the Rain last week- which was based off a book written over a decade ago. Pretty strong to the book, and they, thankfully, left some details out and replaced it with something easier to deal with.

                                Bring tissues. Some pretty heavy subjects, and unless you are not human, you will cry at some point. The main character is a dog, afterall.

                                The actual racing is pretty brief, but the sayings around driving fast continue through the movie, and if you are a car person, one of the last scenes is pretty epic for your eyes.
