Is projecting interplanetary travel "shock appeal"? A story set in the future projects future tech and also future social habits. And by the sound of it it projects them along pretty boring trend lines from the present.

It's like a white supremacist seeing a story about the year 2100 and saying, "all this miscegenation is just in there for shock appeal!"

Um, no. It's a projection that people and cultures are continuing to grow up.

I've seen enough movies, where "let's throw in all this dyed-hair punk rock ambiguous sexuality" has become a tired trend. If it matters to the story, sure, go for it. To throw it in just to try and seem edgy and different is pretty much BS, IMO.

Think about all the post-apocalyptic movies. It's all desert. Never some people living in a grassland somewhere. Nope. Has to be pure desert. And no water. Chernobyl isn't a desert, and that's very dead area when it comes to population. ;)

Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok

I saw Annihilation yesterday...very good film though the ending was rather lame.

Saw 15:17 to Paris today...it was ok but honestly rather boring.
 
Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok

The Man Who Knew Infinity. A solid cast and plot although it felt like I'd seen it once already. Still quite enjoyable and I recommend.

the midnight man

recall now why mookie doesn't care for scary movies. dumb.
 
Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok

Three billboards, excellent movie. Great acting throughout.

Didn't like the cover-up for the marine or intelligence operative but that was part of the point.
In the choose your own adventure ending I'm conflicted as to what I would like to see happen. In a small way it reminded me of the soprano's "anyway you want it/don't stop believin' " ending

Because I have a Moviepass and it was the only film that wasnt going to be annoyingly filled with kids on their "snow day" I saw Death Wish. Dont bother. Not one actor was trying...the story was awful and Eli Roth proved once again he has little to no real directing talent.

Did you notice if your MoviePass let you buy tickets to Red Sparrow? In lots of big markets the film was mysteriously unavailable, but there were promotions for Death Wish. Just a coincidence I'm sure. I didn't notice anything here, but I'm hardly in a prime market.
 
Re: Movies! The Last Jedi: Ragnarok

I honestly didnt look...I will see either Tomorrow or Wednesday when I see another film. (probably Shape of Water)

Eli Roth is fine if you like his uber-gore style, which is not my style. I prefer him as an actor.
